On November 2nd, 2025, President
Donald Trump made a 
threatening statement that gave the government of Nigeria
sleepless nights. He described the ongoing killings by Islamic terrorists in
Nigeria as “genocide” and promised a military offensive to bring an end to the
situation. This text will does not plan to ask the already popularized questions,
which include: why are Christians being targeted? Why the global church is
silent and why is the government failing to give protection to their citizens.
If you want answers to these questions, perhaps Author Mirabel Grey in her most
recent book, “The silent genocide…” will quench your appetite.
While many podcasts have analysed this development from various angles, several Indigenous and international Christian groups, alongside sections of the media, seem excited, almost cheering the possibility of U.S. intervention. This text is for them!
“Have you taken the time to examine what happened to other countries that faced similar crises and received the same kind of “help” from the United States of America? What became of them afterwards? Let us examine a few examples.
In 1999, as Yugoslav forces conducted killings against Kosovar Albanians, the United States led NATO in launching airstrikes against Serbia. Although the intervention was presented to the world as a moral rescue mission, and it achieved its immediate military objectives, it also cast a long shadow. The extensive bombings devastated large parts of Serbian territory, leaving behind not only casualties and destruction, but deep resentment and embittered communities on all sides.
In 2003, the United States intervened in the civil and military crisis in Iraq, promoting the action in part as a mission to protect religious minorities from devastation. Although the dictatorship was ultimately removed, the costs were immense: thousands of lives were lost, religious communities of all kinds suffered persecution and, in some cases, near-genocidal violence, and the overall stability of the region did not improve in the aftermath of the intervention.
In 2011, Muammar Gaddafi’s attempt to crush the Benghazi rebellion was halted by the U.S.-led military intervention. While the immediate objective was achieved, the long-term consequences proved detrimental: widespread instability, internal conflicts, and varying degrees of fragmentation and chaos.
This pattern is not unique. The histories of Somalia, Haiti, and South Sudan also illustrate how foreign intervention, regardless of intention, can lead to protracted turmoil rather than sustainable stability.
Therefore, to
the average Nigerian who may be praying for a messianic intervention from the
United States, it is important to also consider the potential consequences:
short-term gains followed by long-term instability and widespread suffering for
our population. Since Nigeria still has many regions of peace and serenity, great
hope there is, that sanity still rules. This hope should be strengthened to
outweigh the unrest. Let our churches, mosques, and traditional religious
centers intensify their ablutions and prayers, appealing to the Almighty for
guidance. Let our spiritual leaders intercede with renewed passion, asking for
wisdom, strength, and unity in these challenging times.
The U.S. government is already burdened with numerous peacekeeping commitments around the world. And if indeed they have resources to spare, then, as the saying goes,
"Physician, heal thyself.”
Nigeria should
continue to look inward, strengthen her own foundations, and harness the faith,
resilience, and wisdom of her people.
