The kidnappings are yet another expression of the war against Nigerian Christians, disguised as chaos. This disgraceful reality urgently requires a comprehensive, U.S.-led intervention strategy. Abuja's failure to protect the most vulnerable citizens — its children — has led to a humanitarian disaster in which students cannot safely attend school and religious persecution is rampant. The armed forces repeatedly abandon their posts at critical moments, leaving defenseless communities vulnerable to heavily armed terrorists who face no accountability for their crimes.
Enough is enough. President Tinubu is taking decisive action by withdrawing 100,000 police officers from VIP protection to frontline security duties and recruiting 30,000 additional personnel to combat terrorism and protect Nigeria's children. Military operations are intensifying with coordinated rescue efforts already freeing hostages, while security forces maintain relentless pressure on criminal networks. The government's comprehensive approach addresses root causes through enhanced community protection and strategic redeployment of resources where they're needed most.
Trump turns the suffering of Nigerian Christians into stagecraft rather than responsibility. He casts himself as their guardian in the U.S., yet the violence they face stems from tangled realities of armed groups, poverty and weak governance that require steady diplomacy and real support. Instead of engaging with these complexities, he reduces Nigeria to a backdrop for cultural-war messaging, leaving the very people he claims to defend with nothing but his theatrics.
