Former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was in a "stable condition" in hospital after a car accident in Nigeria that killed two close friends and associates, his promoter announced on Monday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/30/more-sports/anthony-joshua-car-crash/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #anthonyjoshua #nigeria
I do not know why my country, Nigeria, has caught Trump's eye. Obviously I'm not buying his lie that he's a crusader for Christianity, but I suspect that that might be something to do with it. The US Right has held Nigeria up as an example of the "Christian genocide" for years, so maybe he's playing to that crowd.
I'm not jumping to the conclusion that it's oil. America and Nigeria produce similar oil types; in fact, Nigeria is a net importer of US oil, not exporter.
NIgeria may averted unilateral U.S. action by cooperating on the airstrike, but experts say it is unclear whether such strikes can do much to hinder Islamist militants. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/27/world/nigeria-us-strike-experts/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #nigeria #us #islamicstate #terrorism #donaldtrump
Residents of Jabo, a village in the NY Nigerian state of Sokoto, told AP Friday that they were seized with panic & confusion at the airstrikes.
They also said the village had never been attacked by armed gangs as part of the violence the #US says is widespread, though such attacks regularly occur in neighboring villages.
“As it approached our area, the heat became intense,” recalled Abubakar Sani, who lives just a few houses from the scene of the explosion.
He did not learn until later that he had witnessed a #US attack on an *alleged* Islamic State camp.
#Trump announced late Thursday that the US had launched a “powerful & deadly strike” against forces of the Islamic State group in #Nigeria. The Nigerian government has since confirmed that it cooperated with the US government in its strike.

Nigerian villagers are rattled by #US airstrikes that made their homes shake & the sky glow red
Sanusi Madabo, a 40-yr-old farmer in the Nigerian village of Jabo, was preparing for bed Thursday night when he heard a loud noise that sounded like a plane crashing. He rushed outside his mud house with his wife to see the sky glowing a bright red.
The light burned bright for hours, Madabo said: “It was almost like daytime.”

The #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 has launched attacks against terrorists in #Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I am assuming that #Trump received permission for these attacks from President #Tinubu.
If not—well… 😕
👉🏾 Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115782683955516402

Do you want an #egg?
eggsplanation of above video:
Nigerians tease Ghanians about liking eggs
Ghanians put eggs in more recipes and eat more #eggs than Nigerians, and that's it, that is all there is to it. it's harmless #humor
Ghanians for their part think it's funny as well and run with the joke
and thus a theme in many internet #memes, like below
and thus the video above about a Nigerian-American ( #BeverlyAdaeze) being harassed by eggs in #Ghana to the point of #horror #absurdity
