  5. If you had the ear of the President of Nigeria today, what would you advise him to say in a meeting with Donald Trump?
How do we avoid being characterised as an NGO enabling American interests, considering global geopolitical competition and rare-earth minerals? If you had the ear of the President of Nigeria today, what would you advise him to say in a meeting with Donald Trump? Does this mean the U.S. will take action against Nigeria? Why are there conflicting narratives about Trump’s intention to intervene to stop the killing of Christians? Is it really about oil or other interests? How can the US President intervene in a way that protects Christians without provoking Muslims or traditional worshippers? Should Donald Trump also sanction his allies in the Middle East who may be indirectly funding extremism? Should attention be focused on Middle Eastern financing of terror, and how do we direct US attention to that? Why has Donald Trump focused on Christian Persecution only? Why is the US only taking action now regarding some of the killings in Nigeria?

Answer

It is not what the President says at the meeting that would matter more, except that you are a president driven more by media optics.  What President Tinubu does to demonstrate that ACTION against the terrorists is paramount to his government is what would qualify him to seek partnership. To seek such “partnership” in the absence of what you have done and are doing is to abdicate responsibility at home and ask others to come and do what you should rightly be doing.
