Barrista Jefferson Muhayeran, a human
0:02
right lawyer and a political activist
0:05
has said nothing wrong if it takes the
0:07
intervention of the United States US
0:10
President Donald Trump to end the raging
0:12
fires of insecurity, institutional
0:15
wickedness and terrorism in Nigeria. The
0:17
legal practitioner stated this in
0:19
numbers of posts he published through
0:21
his personal social media platform since
0:24
President Donald Trump announced US
0:26
intention to launch military action in
0:29
Nigeria to wipe out terrorists killing
0:32
Christians in the West Africa country
0:34
saying if America's saber rattling
0:37
military threat is the dirty water
0:39
needed to flush this country clean or
0:41
quench the raging fires of institutional
0:44
wickedness, insecurity and terrorism. So
0:47
be it. According to barrista Jefferson
0:50
Wuhayan, dirty water day quench fire.
0:53
Nobody, yes, nobody deserves to die in
0:56
the hands of terrorists. If it takes
0:59
Trump's intervention to wake up
1:00
disgraceful governments to act swiftly,
1:03
vigorously, patriotically, and
1:05
responsibly, so be it. The primary
1:08
business of government is the safety and
1:10
protection of the lives and properties
1:12
of citizens, whether Christians or
1:15
Muslims. If America's saber rattling is
1:18
the dirty water needed to flush this
1:20
country clean or quench the raging fires
1:22
of institutional wickedness, insecurity
1:25
and terrorism, so be it. Now government
1:29
way serious citizens day loyal for a
1:32
country of concern to disgraced country.
1:35
How did we get here? This is the lowest
1:37
of lows in Nigeria America relations. A
1:41
country we ditched the UK for and
1:43
adopted its system of government.
1:45
practically everything. This is not
1:47
really about Trump. It's more about how
1:50
we treat crime, punishment, and our
1:52
bogus criminal justice system. The
1:55
government has surrounded itself with
1:57
forning ninkham poop and incompetent
1:59
advisers who see national security only
2:02
through narrow tribal prisms and
2:04
ritualism, adept at creating enemies for
2:06
the government instead of friends. No
2:09
attempt at consiliotative politics or
2:11
national unity. Almost 3 years. There
2:14
are no ambassadors to major countries.
2:17
Our foreign policy chiefs are torn
2:19
between transactional politics of
2:21
financial safe heavens or alignment with
2:23
non-aligned low energy Caribbean
2:25
countries. Our domestic policy leans
2:28
more towards appeasement of fading
2:30
potentates rather than the enforcement
2:32
of nation building rules. We can't
2:35
continue this way. Either we sit down
2:37
and talk or others will do the talking
2:40
to us. A collapsed or exploding Nigeria
2:43
is a threat to global peace and a
2:45
humongous humanitarian disaster that
2:47
must be avoided at all cost.
