Fani-Kayode attacks US President over threat to attack Nigeria

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has launched a scathing attack on US President Donald Trump, over his recent order to US Defense Department to prepare for a “possible military action in Nigeria” after designating Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) following allegations of ongoing Christian genocide. comments threatening military action in Nigeria.

FFK who made a lengthy post on his X handle on Sunday condemning the US President’s statement, described Trump as a “deranged tyrant and sociopathic megalomaniac,” who is used to hypocrisy and double standards in his approach to global conflicts.

He alleged that Trump and the United States had conveniently ignored the atrocities committed by the Israeli Zionist Nazis and the UAE-backed RSF butchers of Darfur, while falsely labelling Nigerians as killers of Christians and attempting to brand the country with genocide claims.

The former minister cited a message from a friend who condemned Trump’s remarks, describing them as “petulant and childish,” and calling on African leaders to recognize that Western powers are “not our friends.”

He also warned that any attempt by the US to invade Nigeria would be met with resistance, saying the development should serve as a wake-up call for Nigerians to value courageous and patriotic leadership.

“Imagine a deranged & sociopathic meglomaniac & tyrant, a recalcitrant and unrepentant schoolyard and dockside bully and a cheap and shameless godless scumbag like @realDonaldTrump
threatening our country with violence, military action and invasion. What a nerve!” He wrote.

“Permit me to put the matter in context. A friend of mine sent the following words to me last night after reading his threat of war & military action.

“She wrote,

“How I wish we can simply ignore this petulant man spewing utter childish rubbish all over the place. They can categorise us as they like, that is on them and there is nothing we can do OR ought to do about that.

“He should bring it on. Let them send their troops and let us see. The same Islamic Terrorists that THEY FUNDED to destroy us.

“Serves us right. We had the CHANCE to stand and be counted on the right side of history, before God with the genocide that is been committed by Israel and funded & supported by America. For all its worth, South Africa STOOD & REPRESENTED. We were nowhere to be seen or heard. AND YET look at this!”

“She concluded by saying the following:

“It is not his fault or the Americans’ fault, it is SOLELY ours. I pray this is a wake-up call for us as leaders, as a nation & Africans. These people are NOT our friends, have never been & will never be; neither should we tolerate having them as our masters, or elders!”

“I concur with this deeply courageous lady who has said it as it is. Frankly I couldn’t have put it better myself.

“My response to her was as follows:

“You are right. They are evil and, if he carries out his abominable threat, there will be a war. We shall not leave the country but we will fight it out with them. We behaved like cowards and allowed them to demonise us with no response.

“I do not know what is wrong with Nigerians but this will be the greatest challenge they have ever faced and maybe after it is all over they will appreciate the importance of having bold, articulate and courageous leaders & disavow themselves of their accursed cowardice, ignorance, pettiness, weakness, envy & complacency”.

“I meant every word. Trump, a fascist & an associate of the globally recognized Hitler of the 21st century, @netanyahu, has refused to call the Israeli Zionist Nazis and the UAE-backed RSF butchers of Darfur, Sudan mass murderers and genocidal maniacs but he is calling our people the “killers of Christians” and is desperately trying to label our nation with the genocide tag and create a crisis in Nigeria.

“I am not surprised. Permit me to tell you why. In my essay titled “Christian Genocide and the Danger of Mischaracterisation” which was published one week ago I wrote, inter alia, the following.

“Our Government must refuse to allow themselves to be hoodwinked by the words of middle-ranking American Governnent officials who are not members of the MAGA inner circle & who do not truly represent the very hardline and extreeme views of the right-wing Christian fundamentalist & anti-Muslim forces that Trump holds dear.

“If they really want to know what Trump is thinking but has so far refused to voice about Nigeria it would be wise for our Government to consider the words of @SecRubio, @SenTedCruz, @RepRileyMoore & Congressman Chris Smith far more than the soothing and encouraging words and expressions of support from “friendly faces” in the Trump administration who have deep ties with & a soft spot for Nigeria but who are not at the heart of the #MAGA power configuration like Trump’s Lebanese brother in-law and Special Advisor on African Affairs, Massad Boulus, @US_SenAdvisorAF.

“American doublespeak & subterfuge is an art and we must never take them for their word or drink from their poisoned chalice. As the Bible says “their speech is as smooth as butter but war is in their heart”.

“Sadly our Government did not pay heed to my words & instead took the comforting words of Boulus as the position of Trump. How wrong they were!”
