A viral claim circulating online suggests that hundreds of Nigerians took to the streets demanding that former U.S. President Donald Trump come to Nigeria. However, verified reports show that this claim is false and misleading.
Instead of supporting Trump, many Nigerians actually protested against him, especially in Kano and Lagos, after he made comments suggesting possible U.S. military intervention in Nigeria.
During the protests, demonstrators carried placards condemning Trump’s remarks, accusing him of exaggerating religious tensions and pushing foreign interference. In some marches, protesters even dragged the U.S. flag on the ground as a sign of rejection.
While a few Nigerians online express support for foreign help due to insecurity, this has not translated into street protests calling for Trump’s arrival. Fact-checkers also confirmed that a viral pro-Trump protest video was AI-generated, adding to the misinformation.
The bottom line? There is no evidence of mass pro-Trump protests in Nigeria. The real demonstrations have been anti-Trump, defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and rejecting external intervention.
