Nigeria at Risk of U.S. Military Intervention, Says Expert

Prof. Femi Otubanjo, a research professor at the Institut Intern Affair, expressed concerns that Nigeria might be next in line for U.S. military intervention following Iran.

He highlighted that the U.S. military-industrial complex thrives on conflict, which significantly drives the American economy through arms sales. Otubanjo made these remarks during a television interview on Tuesday, emphasizing that the U.S. has intervened militarily 58 times globally.

He noted that while countries like Iran, Cuba, and South Africa may become targets, Nigeria, which does not possess nuclear capabilities, is also at risk. Otubanjo criticized former President Donald Trump's rhetoric, suggesting that it aligns with the interests of the military-industrial complex, which benefits from warfare.

He argued that the U.S. seeks to maintain its power and influence through military actions, indicating that Nigeria's lack of nuclear power makes it vulnerable to such interventions.
