In a startling turn of events that has sent shockwaves through both American and Nigerian political landscapes, the Trump administration has announced that its newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has unearthed evidence implicating the U. S. intelligence in the funding of terrorist organizations, including Boko Haram in Nigeria....Read Full Article >>➤
This revelation came to light during a session of the U. S. Congress, where Congressman Perry detailed the findings of the investigation.
The investigation, which has been a focal point of Trump’ s policy to scrutinize and reform foreign aid, revealed a long- standing pattern where the US intelligence agency channeled funds not only to Boko Haram but also to other notorious groups like Al- Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIS.
This has led to immediate and drastic measures by the Trump administration, including the cessation of funding to United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a move that has sparked intense debate and scrutiny.

The news has particularly resonated in Nigeria, a country that has been battling the insurgency of Boko Haram for over a decade. This terrorist group has wreaked havoc in Nigeria’ s northeastern region, leading to thousands of deaths, mass displacement, and the infamous abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls in 2014.
The reaction in Nigeria has been one of outrage and disbelief. Posts on X (formerly Twitter) and various social media platforms reflect a populace grappling with the news, with many expressing betrayal and calling for accountability not just from the U. S. but also from Nigerian officials who might have been complicit or negligent.
The narrative on the ground suggests a complex web of international relations, where aid might sometimes serve geopolitical strategies at the cost of local peace and stability.
In the U. S. , the revelations have polarized Congress, with some members demanding further investigations, while others question the credibility of the DOGE’ s findings, suggesting political motivations behind the timing and nature of the disclosures.
Critics argue that cutting USAID’ s funding might lead to a vacuum in humanitarian aid, potentially affecting millions who depend on such programs for survival in conflict zones like Nigeria.
This situation has also reignited discussions about the transparency and accountability of international aid. There is a growing call for oversight mechanisms that ensure aid does not inadvertently fuel conflict or support terrorism.
Moreover, it raises questions about the effectiveness and ethical implications of U. S. foreign policy, particularly in regions marked by instability and insurgency.
