US Soldier's Bomb Threat Against Ibadan Sparks Outrage
A Nigerian-born United States Army officer identified as Fawaz has triggered widespread condemnation after appearing in a viral video where he threatened to bomb Ibadan and Ikorodu. In the controversial footage, Fawaz claimed he and his team were heading to Nigeria to carry out the attack, sending shockwaves across social media platforms.
Porkiyor's Emotional Response to Homeland Threat
The threat prompted an immediate and passionate response from Ibadan-born TikToker Porkiyor, who did not hold back in his condemnation. In his reaction video, Porkiyor expressed disbelief that someone of Nigerian descent would threaten to bomb the land that raised him. His emotional response captured the anger felt by many Nigerians, particularly those from the mentioned cities.
Porkiyor directly addressed Fawaz, stating: "Fawaz, you are a b*stard. So because you are now in the U.S. Army, you want to bomb Ibadan? Have you forgotten where you came from? You want to go and bomb my mummy and daddy in Ibadan?" The content creator's strong words reflected the deep connection Ibadan residents feel toward their homeland.
Social Media Backlash and Public Reaction
The incident occurred against the backdrop of former US President Donald Trump's threats of possible military involvement in Nigeria. Social media users quickly rallied behind Porkiyor, with many expressing their readiness to defend their cities. One user commented: "Make dem dey come.... Amotekun dey gallant..... make everybody meet for challenge," referencing the local security outfit.
Another user highlighted the irony of the situation: "left home too feed home ...e reach your turn u change ham too left home to kill home omo werey." The overwhelming sentiment showed that Nigerians remain fiercely protective of their homeland against any external threats, even from their own diaspora.
The video threat and subsequent reactions have sparked important conversations about national loyalty and the responsibilities of those in positions of power. As the story continues to develop, many are watching to see how authorities will respond to these serious threats against Nigerian territory.
