IK Ogbonna Supports Trump’s Call to Fight Terrorists in Nigeria
Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna has spoken out about the strong reactions to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments on the killings of Christians in Nigeria. Trump had mentioned that the situation in Nigeria requires serious action and even suggested sending U.S. forces to help stop the violent attacks by terrorist groups. His comments have sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians online.
IK Ogbonna questioned why many Nigerians were angry about Trump’s suggestion. According to him, the most important issue is the continuous loss of innocent lives, especially Christians, in several northern states. He believes the real concern should be how to end the killings once and for all.
The actor shared his views on his Instagram page, asking Nigerians to reflect on the situation. He said the country has been struggling for many years to stop insurgency and terrorism, yet the attacks continue. Because of this, he wonders why people are rejecting any possible help from outside the country.
Ogbonna wrote, “Do we want the terror group gone or not?” He said that Nigeria is a sovereign nation, and that fact is respected. However, he noted that sovereignty should not stop the government from accepting help if it will protect the lives of its citizens.
Question: Why are some Nigerians rejecting Trump’s suggestion to send U.S. forces?
Answer: Some people feel the suggestion threatens Nigeria’s independence and control over its own security decisions. Others believe foreign intervention may create new problems or political tensions. However, Ogbonna believes that the focus should be on ending the killings and protecting Nigerian lives.
He stressed that lives are more important than political pride. He said Nigerians should think about the families who have lost loved ones and the communities that live in fear every day. To him, any solution that can bring peace should be considered, even if it comes from another country.
Ogbonna’s statement has continued to create conversations among Nigerians, with some agreeing that international help might speed up peace efforts, while others feel Nigeria should handle its issues internally. The debate continues online as people share different opinions.
The actor ended his message by urging people to put humanity first. He encouraged Nigerians to support meaningful action that can stop the killings and restore peace in affected areas.
