Hmm, this quote from Nigerian Head of State General Murtala Muhammed in 1976 is for you.

GeneralDae:

But the coup leaders didn't cave in for Mali. Sanctions didn't work with Mali or am I missing something?

Mali was crumbling prior to the lifting of sanctions, the only reason they were lifted was because Mali Junta came back to the negotiation table and promised a date for a transition back to civilian governance in 2025.

But thesame Mali is backing Niger today. 2025 from 2021, that's 4 complete years of civilian rule. You see how they played with ECOWAS? If ECOWAS doesn't get tough against Niger, by 2025, same Mali would call ECOWAS bluff again and do nothing. Can't you see this? It was initially supposed to be a one year transition period but the Malian Junta have kept postponing it. Now they say 2025.

When by that 2025, Mali postpones it again to 2030, we allow Mali be and situation has not changed with Bfaso, Niger, Guinea, another dissatisfied soilder in another Francophone West African country (who is about to get sacked) would again carry out a coup, immediately ignite anti french sentiments as the reason (in order to gain sympathy) and then you would come here again to ask ECOWAS to just dialogue and negotiate or use sanctions only and it goes round and round.

Dude c'mon stop capping Niger best military with nonexistent airforce. How many army divisions dem get sef? Same Nigerien army that is trained and supported by the same imperialistic French and Americans.

Cameroon and Niger flushed out bla bla but have they resolved their own domestic security.

Your "known-it-all" military are very clueless and this mission is far above them. They can't win

You can ask any unbias Security analyst on this and they will tell you these below,

The best Military in Ecowas by far is the Niger Military . Niger does not have as much artelleries like you do but they are the most experienced and formidable military in Warfare currently. Don't joke with them

Ghana is formidable in warfare stratagy, intelligence gathering and fight

Burkina is also good and experienced in warfare
What Nigeria has over others is the number of military personnels, artelleries etc but your personnels are very weak for any serious warfare

Dude! The whole of West Africa has is just lucky Nigeria is a not a 'friendly' neighbor like Russia if not the Nigerian military for done occupy 10 countries by Tuesday.

You've just been capping shit

I've cousins in the military and they've both claimed (on different occasions) that if the War on terrorism wasn't political sabotaged and political. NA will flush BH in months.

These Francophone countries were already politically unstable to begin with and going to war with Niger will just destabilize the entire region and create a massive refugee crisis which the Jihadists will take advantage of. The sanctions placed on Niger has already been seeing effects on ground. Food inflation has skyrocketed. The Chinese have stopped working on the Niger Dam. Elecricity has been cut off from Niger with constant blackouts for most of the day. 90% of Niger's budget that came from International foreign aid has been cut off. The World Bank and IMF has stopped all development loans in Niger and the state is virtually bankrupt isolated from the financial system. France can increase their uriarium from Canada, Australia, and Kazakhstan decreasing Niger share in the world market. They won't survive under sanctions for 6 months since Niger (land-locked nation) is a highly dependant country on foreign aid. Rebels in the country are beginning to get impatient with the Junta over the sanctions placed on their country from ECOWAS and US and its allies EU nations, Japan, and S.Korea that hold most of the world's share of nominal GDP.

The Mali Junta can make big threats but in reality they can't afford to aid another country in a war considering 40% of Mali is already under terrorist and separatist control nor do they have the budget, manpower, or logistics to do so. So, their threats are all hot air.

If Mali goes back on their word in 2025 and postpones it again, ECOWAS can just easily place the sanctions back onto their country. Since they kicked out UN that was providing Northern Mali civilians with food, medicine, and water that would set a bad precedent for the country likely a civil war.

Yes I agree with your argument in principle and it's more logical to me than the other opposing arguments here. I also support this pathway now thinking about it. The only problem would be if Mali, Burkinafaso, and Niger, begin to establish ties with Wagner and North Korea. That is also a possibility.

Ehhh, them establishing ties with another autocratic state like North Korea only shows how desperate the Junta's are not like North Korea can actually afford to aid any of these countries thousands of miles away from their nation. North Korea is only able to stay afloat because of China thats upholding Kim Jong Un's regime otherwise it would have fallen long ago. Reason China is doing this is because CCP doesn't want the US military on its borders thus creating a buffer zone between them.

Only reason North Korea is ranked so high on the Global Firepower index is because of their nuclear weapons that doesn't have a far reach otherwise vast majority of their tech are ancient junk from the Soviet era (1950s ~ 1970s).

As for Wagner, they are a PMC mercenary group, last I checked at least 20,000 of them have already been killed in Ukraine and they dont specialize in conventional warfare. Wagner trying to help Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger would overstrench the group so they wouldn't be of much use anyway and its not like Russia can aid them either considering they are pretty close to bankruptcy themselves.

No country in West Africa will be able to withstand Nigeria in war, if the country is united. The reason why Tinubu's misadventure in Niger is bound to fail is because only his fellow tribesmen are supporting him in this war. Most other Nigerians including Hausas, Fulanis, and Igbos spread across North and South, minus SW. There will be mass desertions and even defections of ethnic Hausas and Fulanis to the Nigerien side should the war drag on.

The only hope of Nigeria/ECOWAS winning is to rout the Nigeriens within 48 hours into the war, once it drags on, it becomes unwinnable.

As bad as the sanctions are it seems to be working rumours of a mutiny in Niger over unpaid salaries

Rumours are best to be taken with a grain of salt but I wouldn't be surprised if its true. Not all of Niger military is with the coup leader. If it ends with a counter-coup, then hopefully it returns back to civilian rule.

vankelvin:

Somebody needs to tell these people the hard truth. When you hear stuffs about their army during warfare or any peace keeping you will wonder why they always keep making loud mouths about these things.

coming from the citizen of a countrywhose military don't even have 1 Tank
And can't boast of 1 fighter jet or armed drones

You just want to joke, so it's on you bro.

Last time i checked Nigerian military are protecting guinea president and Gambian president till date,
And same military helped set up your countries special forces, SBS,
So jokes really on you bro.

I have already school you on this but you are stubborn to fact and evidence . It is a partnership training , this is not a direct education, unlike that of ojukuwu and obasonjo coming to Ghana for a direct military education .

Abuja cannot defeat yamazukoro, dakar and Accra in any conventional war. You know why the first two are france subject ( A beloved one for that matter) artilleries and numbers of army doest win war , training also matters, Accra can be argue to have the best trained army in the region , the UNO peace mission is a testament to this fact. Uk has the best trainned army in the world , it will be foolish to say UK will be dismantle by china with many men and more artilleries.

Again I really don't think ecowas in combine can win a conventional war with Niger , the only reason ecomog was successful in liberia is the air superiority but in this Niger case, the Wagner Group supporting the Niger Junta will have the air superiority. And ecowas should refuse Niger war for the following strategic and tactical reasons:

1) ecowas is going to meet a military junta in Niger who are waging an asymmetric warfare to entrench their position in government.

2) The Wagner group is in Niger and they are battle tested in Ukraine and don't care to use Meat Wave to overwhelm ecowas if need be

3) Niger has a large span of landmark( it is even bigger than Nigeria) which could spread ecowas military thin and pose serious logistical challenge to ecowas military in this economic challenge ecowas is facing currently. Naira is becoming a tissue paper of late . So if you are sensible , you should know that just as artillery wins battles, logistics wins wars too.

4) The morale of ecowas millitary guys like Nigeria solders on the battlefield will be zero since there is no justification for your soldiers to lose their lives for a despot who used dubious means to entrench his position in government and apart from that Niger is mostly the second home of many northern Nigerian solders . They call it home.

Peaceful countries normally do not feel the need to buy these stuffs cos we won't need them for anything.

Just look at our immediate neighbors, we are at peace with them so till we feel the need for tanks and fighter jets we will prefer building hospitals, schools to buying those stuffs

First of all, are you a he or she?

Now back to the nonsense you wrote, I want to believe you just typed those trash for argument's sake. But let me tell you, a United Nigeria will beat a combined West Africa in battle.

Below are my reasons why
Nigerians from the north to the south are known warriors from the days of our forefathers. With more than 10 years of fighting insurgency, no country currently comes close.

1. Nigeria is currently half of West Africa's population. What this means is you can't overpower us in manpower NEVER!

2. Air Force: You need formidable airpower to defeat an enemy as big as Nigeria. But Nigeria has 4x the air power of other West African countries combined. I mean how do you intend to attack the Nigerian land? Instead, we will be the ones using our drones to make offensive attacks in places as far as Accra.


3. Tanks: When fighting a war, after your aircraft, you need tanks to gain ground in your enemy's territory bro, and guess what, Nigeria has more than 90% of tanks you can find in West Africa. We will be the ones gaining ground on enemies' territory, not the other way around. When our Airforce bombs the Benin Republic and Niger capital cities, we will send tanks to gain ground in certain territories. Hence the battle will be in those poor countries, not the Nigerian land.

3. Navy: Still no West African country comes close. I expect us to use our naval force to control the water bodies.

4 Budget: We have a bigger defence budget and in a time of war, expect that to triple. Other West African countries won't come close (combined). Hence, we get to buy new toys (Aircraft, Tanks and Warships). Your tiny countries won't be able to import any weapons because we will be in charge of the waterways (it's obvious, we have a better naval force). Also, if you intend to import low-budget weapons via the Sahara, we will intercept those with our better Air and Land Power (lolz)

5. Experience: The Nigerian troops have been facing insurgents in gorilla warfare for years, so you don't need anyone to tell you our boys have got better experience in battle.


Finally, The Military strength of other West African countries combined isn't up to half of Nigeria's.

It's not Nigeria's fault your countries a weak against a 3rd world country like Nigeria. You are jealous and it's understandable, if I were your in your shoes, I will be bitter too. But you have to know there are levels to things in life. Even in the land of the blind, there must be a king (the one eyed man which is Nigeria).

GeneralDae:

All these West African countries together would even struggle against Chad not to talk of Nigeria. I know there would be no war though.

I know there would be no war but let me drop this here from one of my favourite security news Twitter handle:

"So Mali and Burkina-Faso have dispatched combat aircrafts to Niamey to respond to any ECOWAS attack on Niger. Three Super Tucano attack aircrafts, two Bayraktar TB2 attack drones and one Mi-35M attack helicopter have been deployed to meet the ECOWAS challenge.

Niger on its part have deployed two Turkish built Hukus-C light attack aircraft and can call on two SU-25 attack planes.

If diplomacy fails and ECOWAS decides to act, be rest assured that five to six times that number of aircrafts will be committed to an ECOWAS operation.

It is not clear if all participating ECOWAS countries will send aircrafts to take part, but the Nigerian air force alone will be an overkill. The NAF has at it's disposal one Super Tucano attack Squadron. Unlike the EMB 312 Super Tucanos fielded by Mali and Burkina-Faso,
Nigeria's Super Tucanos was custom built in the U.S by the Sierra Nevada Corporation. They are equipped with electro-optical, infrared and laser targeting systems, advanced communications and datalinks, precision guided munitions like the GBU paveway laser guided bombs,hydra 70 rockets with Advanced Precision Kill Weapon (APKW) tail kits, a device that converts dumb unguided bombs into precision guided munitions. A pair of F-7Ni and JF-17 supersonic multi-role fighters can easily achieve air superiority while Alpha jets and Super Tucanos carry out ground attack and close air support.

The NAF can easily deploy up to 10 combat helicopters, including the Mi-35M, AW109E, and Mi-17 helicopters".

"Now these are assets the NAF alone can muster, not counting Senegal, Ivory Coast and other participating countries."

I'm loving these guys already
