THE IMPLICATIONS OF A TRUMP–AMERICAN INVASION OF NORTHERN NIGERIA UNDER TINUBU’S YORUBA GOVERNMENTSouth-West Controls Everything Federal — Arewa is Vulnerable!By Dahiru Yusuf YaboPolitical & Security Analyst
The emerging whispers of a potential American intervention in Nigeria, under the guise of combating terrorism or “restoring democracy,” should alarm every patriotic Nigerian. This is not an isolated statement of intent — it is part of a larger Western agenda designed to destabilize the North, exploit its resources, and manipulate Nigeria’s internal equilibrium through a compliant Southern elite.
Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria’s federal architecture has been captured by a deliberate Yoruba-centric structure that concentrates national command within the South-West. From the Presidency to Defence, Finance, Customs, and key regulatory agencies, the North has been systematically edged out of power. This is not happenstance. It is a strategic consolidation rooted in political self-preservation, Western alignment, and economic control.
For Washington, Lagos offers a more predictable partner than Abuja ever did under a Northern-led government. Tinubu’s administration, desperate for Western endorsement, has become a convenient gateway for foreign interests seeking influence over Nigeria’s mineral-rich North. The same geopolitical machinery that enslaved Libya and Iraq is being quietly retooled for the Sahel and Nigeria’s Northern corridor.
Let us not forget that this same America refused to sell weapons to President Goodluck Jonathan when Boko Haram was at its peak, effectively crippling Nigeria’s counterinsurgency capacity. The same America that blacklisted arms suppliers to Nigeria suddenly “sold” overpriced aircraft to President Buhari on terms that restricted operational independence. Today, it is the same America threatening military interference — after having helped to sustain the insecurity it now pretends to fight.
The North’s mineral belt — from Zamfara and Niger to Kaduna, Bauchi, and Sokoto — is the real target. Beneath these soils lie gold, lithium, and rare earth elements now central to global industrial and military competition. The Western bloc sees Northern Nigeria not as a partner but as a reservoir of raw material and geopolitical leverage against emerging Eastern powers like China and Russia.
Tinubu’s early threat to invade Niger Republic, a nation sharing deep cultural and historical ties with the North, was a dangerous diplomatic gamble. If he had succeeded, it would have handed America and its allies the perfect pretext for “intervention” — exactly as Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait justified the U.S.-led destruction of Iraq. That is how imperial powers manipulate regional ignorance and arrogance to achieve global objectives.
History warns us: every nepotic, despotic, and foreign-dependent regime ends in humiliation. Saddam Hussein, Hosni Mubarak, Muammar Gaddafi — all served Western interests before being betrayed and destroyed by them. The Tinubu administration should study this pattern closely. Aligning with the West at the expense of domestic legitimacy is political suicide dressed as diplomacy.
The North must awaken from complacency. Arewa’s vulnerability is not from poverty but from internal disunity, economic manipulation, and leadership compromise. When a region rich in minerals, land, and population becomes politically silent and economically dependent, it invites external control.
America’s alleged plans to intervene militarily in Nigeria, using the façade of “counterterrorism,” must therefore be read as part of a broader neocolonial framework — a continuation of Western interests masked in humanitarian language. Tinubu’s Yoruba-dominated government, consciously or not, has created the enabling environment for this encroachment.
The truth remains bitter but clear: Nigeria is not a colony, and the North is not a pawn. The Arewa region must reclaim its strategic autonomy, restore internal political balance, and resist every form of manipulation — whether from within or from the deceitful hands of foreign allies.
Let the message echo from Sokoto to Maiduguri, from Kano to Katsina:
No nation survives when its sovereignty is mortgaged to foreign powers through the ignorance of its leaders and the silence of its people.
