Deadly Mosquito Warning
The speaker also delivers an unusual warning, suggesting that if American forces attempted to wage war in Nigeria, the country’s mosquitoes would bite U.S. soldiers and infect them with malaria fever, causing them to die quickly.
In the video, the speaker said: “Mr. Donald Trump, let me be aware that Nigeria is not Vietnam. Nigeria is not Afghanistan. Nigeria is not Iraq. Nigeria is not Iran. Nigeria is not Venezuela. If you attempt to encourage and make aggression and send your armed forces to Nigeria to wage war, ah, it is an unscrupulousness. But be aware that our mosquitoes are waiting for your soldiers they will bite them and infect them with malaria fever to die instantly.”
