A comment on X stated, “Nigeria has officially become a French colony with the establishment of French military base in Maiduguri.” This claim, though controversial, oversimplifies the dynamics of international cooperation and security.
While foreign military collaborations are often aimed at combating terrorism and enhancing regional stability, branding such arrangements as “colonization” misleads and fuels unnecessary tension. It’s crucial to scrutinize and debate foreign influence critically, but also responsibly, avoiding hyperbolic language that stokes fear or division.
