The government of Nigeria seeking military assistance from Turkey should be seen as a red flag and could hurt Nigeria in the long run.
Turkey has repeatedly been accused by members of the international community of supporting bandits and terrorists in parts of Africa. Whether these accusations are true or not, they raise serious concerns. For any country facing deep security challenges, seeking military assistance from a nation surrounded by such allegations is risky. Knowing this and still pursuing military cooperation with Turkey is dangerous and should be rejected by Nigerians.
In Nigeria, many believe that since the United States of America has already begun supporting efforts against terrorists and bandits in the country, the Nigerian government should maintain and strengthen that cooperation. The United States stands a better chance of helping Nigeria end the brutal activities of terrorists and bandits who continue to kill innocent Nigerians across the country.
Based on this reality, the Viewers Corner News team is appealing to the government of Nigeria to rethink its decision to seek military assistance from Turkey, as such a move may fail Nigeria in the long run.
Nigeria’s security crisis demands careful and strategic partnerships, not decisions that could compromise the country’s future safety. Any military alliance that raises questions about loyalty, credibility, or long-term consequences must be thoroughly reconsidered. For the sake of national security and lasting peace, Nigeria must choose its allies wisely and avoid partnerships that may weaken, rather than strengthen, the fight against terrorism and banditry.
