I didn’t know that I would live long enough to witness the humiliating spectacle of a foreign power bombing Nigerian territory, and the Nigerian state responded not with outrage or righteous protest, but with the sheepish gratitude of a ward thanking its guardian.
On December 25, 2025, the so-called Giant of Africa marked its own Day of National Humiliation.
Forget about stupid euphemisms like “security cooperation” or “joint operations.” It was an unmistakable announcement to the world that Nigeria has lost control of its own national sovereignty.
No self-respecting sovereign nation outsources the most sacred duty of the state, the monopoly of violence, to a foreign empire whose interests have never aligned with African dignity.
To the idiotic geopolitical dummies in Abuja, empires do not keep friends; they own assets.
In the cold calculus of geopolitics, power does not explain itself; it asserts itself. When American bombs fall on Nigerian soil, it is not terrorism that is being defeated; it is Nigeria that is being disciplined.
This is how vassalage is enforced in the twenty-first century – without colonists, without governors, but with precision munitions and press releases.
In a normal country, such an event would have shaken the republic to its foundations. The National Assembly would have risen, not to applaud, but to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Tinubu for presiding over this abomination.
Instead, Nigeria’s overpampered and overcompensated legislators perfected their favorite craft: looking away.
A nation that cannot defend itself cannot command respect.
Sadly, Nigeria has chosen humiliation—and called it partnership.
