“President Trump Should Be Warned That If He Sends The US Army To Nigeria… We Will Bury Everyone Single America Soldier That Steps Into Nigeria Alive.” — Prof. Sadeeque Abba on Trust TV’s Sunday Politics, Warns U.S. President, Donald Trump

Professor Sadeeque Abba, a scholar of international relations at the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA), delivered a blunt and uncompromising message to U.S. President Donald Trump during an appearance on Trust TV’s programme Sunday Politics on Sunday. In the televised interview Prof. Abba warned that any decision by the United States to deploy troops to Nigerian soil would be met with fierce resistance from citizens, using vivid language that underscored the depth of public anger at remarks from Washington.

Prof. Abba said on air: “President Trump Should Be Warned That If He Sends The US Army To Nigeria, Nigerians Citizens Are Ready To Fight Them. We Will Bury Everyone Single America Soldier That Steps Into Nigeria Alive.”

The professor’s remarks came amid heightened tensions following public comments by President Trump signaling possible military action in response to attacks by extremist groups inside Nigeria, a development widely reported in international media.

Observers say those statements have inflamed nationalist sentiment in Nigeria and prompted strong reactions from academics, activists and political figures.

During the program Prof. Abba framed his warning as a defensive, popular vow rather than a formal policy prescription, stressing that ordinary Nigerians would not accept foreign boots on their soil. His choice of words, stark and apocalyptic quickly circulated on social media and in online comment threads, where some users praised the professor’s patriotism while others urged cooler heads and diplomatic solutions.

Analysts say such rhetoric risks escalating diplomatic strain between Abuja and Washington if not managed carefully by both governments.

Nigeria’s foreign ministry and military leadership have not, as of this report, issued an official response to Prof. Abba’s comments. Meanwhile, international news outlets and social feeds continue to track reactions as the story develops.

What this means going forward is the interview highlights the potent mix of national pride and anger that can follow foreign threats of intervention, a volatile dynamic that could complicate diplomatic engagement.

Nigerian officials may feel pressured by public sentiment to publicly rebuff any foreign military incursion or to seek immediate diplomatic clarification from the U.S. administration.
