I've been legit flummoxed about what you'd even be striking in the NW, since the heart of Boko Haram and ISWAP is on the other side of the country in the NE
Maybe IS-GS/ISSP pushed south but that would be weird/unlikely

Yeah I have like…no problem hitting ISWAP. But…why go about it this way? What’s even the plan here?

First ever American airstrike at what Trump says was the Islamic State in North-West of Nigeria. So I assume either IS Sahel coming from Niger or ISWAP cells. Well, certainly makes things interesting, given the global fight against the group. #Nigeria

If this video is real, I’m speechless. I’m hard-pressed to consider a more useless application of firepower than TLAMs against BH/ISWAP.
Bridge has had plenty to say about “diverting” firepower to Ukraine. Funny that I don’t hear him decrying the same in the Caribbean or Nigeria.

#Nigeria Primo Attacco USA in Nigeria contro basi di ISWAP (islamic state west africa province) nello stato di Sokota (zona orientale della Nigeria). Attacco sarebbe stato portato con Tomohawk lanciati da navi usa. Da settimane gli aerei da ricognizione USA erano in azione sull'area.

We've also been tangentially messing around with counter-ISWAP stuff for a hot minute, and the Nigerians recently (I think?) gave us some access/basing permissions, which is how the last round of "Trump threatens random country" got resolved there

Trump on kutsunut iskua ”joululahjaksi” terroristeille, joiden hän on väittänyt vainoavan kristittyjä.
– Kun on kyse Isisistä, puhutaan Nigerian koillisosista. Siellä toimii Boko Haramista irtaantunut ISWAP-järjestö.
– Jabossa koemme kristityt veljiksemme. Ei meillä ole uskonnollisia kiistoja.

Asiantuntijan mukaan Trumpin isku Nigeriaan kohdistui väärään paikkaan
Presidentti Donald Trump sanoi määränneensä iskun Nigeriaan ”joululahjana” Isis-terroristijärjestölle. Joidenkin mukaan lahja toimitettiin väärään osoitteeseen.

Nigeria's Sokoto State is at the border with Niger and is affected by banditry, but also by Islamist groups such as Islamic State's affiliated ISWAP, ISSP, or the JNIM (affiliated to Al Qaeda). You can find a June 2024 report of these groups in that area here: www.clingendael.org/pub/2024/dan...

Fair question.
TL:DR; re-org! Look up the origins of ISSP.
Boko Haram was affiliated with ISIS in Nigeria
Boko Haram represented ISIS in Nigeria
Boko Haram members broke off and combined with others to form Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP) Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP)
Etc

There's some backstory to the reported US strikes in Nigeria.
This is not necessarily the first time US forces have engaged ISWAP.

Yesterday evening, ISWAP posted two quite big attack claims. First, on the Marte-Dikwa road, the group said that on 9 Nov 24, it had detonated a large IED targeting a truck carrying Nigerian soldiers, killing ten of them (I see no non-ISWAP reports of this incident).
