A Nation Under Siege
Nigeria is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Terrorists move freely across forests, highways, and communities, killing, kidnapping, and destroying livelihoods. Innocent citizens are dying every day, while the government struggles—or refuses—to assert control.
Recent reports claim that ISWAP captured and executed a Nigerian Brigadier General, raising alarm nationwide. If a high-ranking officer is not safe, what hope is there for ordinary citizens?
Sovereignty Without Protection Is Hollow
For decades, Nigerian leaders have boasted about sovereignty, rejecting international assistance in the name of pride. But what kind of sovereignty allows terrorists to operate like a parallel government?
Communities burned and abandoned
Soldiers ambushed and humiliated
Citizens living in fear daily
True sovereignty is not a slogan; it is the capacity to protect lives and territory. Without this, independence is meaningless.
We’re Crying Out to the USA Government
This is a call for urgent international attention—not to impose rule, but to help save lives and restore order.
We appeal to the USA government and the global community to witness the terror Nigerians face, to pressure leadership for action, and to assist in combating insurgency.
We are crying because our government has failed to protect its people. We are crying because our children, mothers, and soldiers are dying. We are crying because sovereignty without safety is empty.
The People Must Rise
While international attention is critical, the ultimate rescue must come from Nigerians themselves. Citizens must demand accountability, transparency, and decisive action.
Every day Nigeria delays, more lives are lost. Every day the nation pretends that words are enough, more families are shattered.
We are calling on the world, and calling on ourselves:
The innocent are dying. The nation is bleeding. Nigeria must act. Citizens must rise. And the world must listen.
