Christians in Nigeria have welcomed Donald Trump's threat to send the US military to the West African nation 'guns-a-blazing' - but its leaders are wary.
Nigeria has been roiled by internal violence in the wake of a jihadist insurgency spearheaded by extremist group Boko Haram in the northeast since 2009.
Trump, 79, had already designated Nigeria a 'country of particular concern,' but he took his condemnation of the situation in the country even further last week after hearing about it on Fox News, threatening to cut aid and even send in US troops.
Some Christian communities have welcomed the US president's menace, believing that foreign armies are needed to restore peace in their homeland.
'We see President Trump as our second God,' Christian community leader Bamshak Daniel told the Wall Street Journal.
'We have been praying for a supernatural intervention to save the lives of our people. President Trump must make haste and carry out this military intervention.'
Daniel is based in the small town of Mangu in the Plateau state, where herdsmen have slaughtered many Christians in surrounding villages this year.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu was shocked by the fiery 'guns-a-blazing' rhetoric coming from the leader of one of his country's most important partners.
He was stunned when he first saw Trump's Truth Social post - which occurred during his morning routine of drinking a shot of espresso and having his routine doctor's check-up, the Journal said.
Tinubu - a 73-year-old Muslim married to one of Nigeria's most prominent Christian Pentecostal preachers - said Trump's interpretation of his country's malaise is a 'gross misrepresentation of the reality'.

MAGA, not MNGA.
Don’t do it, Trump!
No.
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, the Islamist, has told Trump he has no right to send the US military into Nigeria. He’s not going to cooperate.
But this savage killing of Christians in African countries has to be stopped.
No help from the pro-muslim pope either.
Troops, no. Drones, yes.
Maybe a Letter of Marque would work. Place a reward for every terrorist killed there. I know it’s for use on the high seas, but maybe it could be tweaked for land warfare.
I fully support stopping Muslim murderers in Africa. However, do we really know what is going on? At one time Rhodesia and South Africa could have been reliable allies in the area. No more. Who is left?
YOU? You are all that is left.
Miss Graham must be salivating at this
Could someone tell me what the CIA is doing if not undermining and overturning foreign countries’ systems and leaders?
“The specific budget for the CIA is not publicly disclosed, as it is classified, but it is believed to be a significant part of the overall intelligence budget. While total intelligence community funding is publicly reported (around $101 billion for FY2025), the CIA’s individual allocation remains secret.”

“But this savage killing of Christians in African countries has to be stopped.

Isn’t this the type of situation for which the United Nations was created? When does the UN weigh in? (not holding my breath)
The UN has been captured by 3rd Word interest since the late 1970s. Guess what the majority of those Turd World states are? Expect nothing from them!
The UN has gone Islamic.
They are part of the problem.
Jihad jackasses will take over unless measures are put in place to prevent it.
They need to be kicked out of the US and other countries.
Period.
And no more mosques!
No more tolerance for imams preaching anti-American crap!
The best way to take on the world’s evil is for American to become strong again, good again, and powerful again. That works better than putting out the endless brush fires of evil.
Tagline.
Yeah.
