Rosskii:
I will not be surprised if the NIGERIAN govt is behind this serious escalation in secessionist insurrection in Ghana via remote control.

Many Nigerians believe that Ghana needs to be taught a lesson.

They have become too arrogant and conceited. Always boasting about how 'peaceful' their country is, 'compared to Nigeria'.

Forgetting that it is Nigeria that has been guaranteeing that peace in the sub-region.

Perhaps they need this type of destabilization to humble them?

Notice how this 'Western Togoland' insurrection has arisen right after their recent harassment of Nigerians and their demolishing of part of the Nigerian embassy in Accra?

Let's see how this pans out.

The Ghanaian army is rated 28th in Africa, even below Burkina Faso.

I'll be surprised if they can handle any type of insurrection.

If Nigeria is secretly funding those rebels - and this map suggests they could be - expect an escalation.

Rosskii:


At last, an adult voice.

I think the FG could be wary also of that 'Year of Return' programme the Ghanaians did, welcoming thousands of Afro-Americans to Ghana, granting many of them free citizenship, free land etc, while chasing and persecuting Nigerians, and demolishing part of the Nigerian embassy in Accra.

Abuja would have looked at all that with raised eyebrows I imagine.

happy200:
you are creating unrest here in Nairaland by opening unreasonable threads.

BankOfCalabar:
You're only being clever by half presenting Nigeria as having might. "Giant of Africa" is only talk but no action. The reality is Nigeria is a failed state and neither has the intelligence to carry out advanced espionage nor fund uprising in another country. Nigeria can't even protect it's territory.

Yujin:

I can go personal on you too but I'll withhold one more time. I say that Nigeria is too dumb to attempt such one more time.

Vyzz:




Come on...

Nobody will think this reasonable....

Naija gat alot of problem and is in a heavy financial debt... Oga calm down...

Naija has little to no influence over Ghana

Rossinky:


The reality is that you lack basic intelligence. If you had even a modicum of common sense, you would note that Nigeria is the dominant military and economic power in West Africa by an absolute WIDE margin, accounting for 75% of the sub-region's GDP, and quite possibly 70% of its total annual military expenditure.

You are truly dense if you think that Nigeria, the only West African nation to have consistently deployed forces far from its borders in numerous conflicts, is somehow incapable of funding a small rebel movement close to its borders, it just shows you are better off watching BBNaija, celebrity gossip, sports news, and dwelling in your self-hate.

Unlike you ignoramuses swimming in self-hatred, low self esteem, and inferiority complex, the Ghanaian authorities are DEFINITELY wondering if Abuja has anything to do with this escalation, and if they weren't, they would be extremely stupid and incompetent.

The claim that Nigerian ''cannot even protect its territory'' is truly illiterate. On what basis do you make such a claim? Boko Haram? Herdsmen?

Do you know that the combined death toll from those two groups is less than 1/6th of the USA's annual death toll from gun crimes, currently standing at 20,000+?

Will your rotten lips utter then the smear that ''the USA cannot even protect its territory''?

Of course not, being a slave-minded, self hating oaf who sees no wrong anywhere else on earth but in Nigeria.

Worthless.

Please, if there are any adults left on Nairaland, as opposed to these mental midgets, they're welcome to contribute informed opinions on the subject.

CanineOfJackal:
Seun lalasticlala let there be decorum here please. Insults shouldn't be tolerated here.

Twitter has more members but there is sanity there than here

Rossinky:


Spoken with typical zero common sense. The REASON a nation like Nigeria might interfere to disrupt Ghana will be to GAIN influence on the government there. So by saying ''Naija has little or no influence over Ghana'', you are merely confirming the likelihood of interference.

Many of you need to get off Nairaland and go study geo-politics and expand your worldview. You are like little children who think the world operates by your silly, uncomplicated daily prejudices.

Vyzz:




Oh...

I didn't know we were quarrelling...

I still stand my ground...

Naija has zero to no influence over Ghana...

Rossinky:


Whenever you are defeated by rationality, common sense and intelligence, you start looking for people to be censored and shut down. But it is just fine to engage in your animalistic ethnic insults, slurs and smears like you people do all over Nairaland. Worthless.

CanineOfJackal:
I rarely post here because of your ilks who can't string up sentence without insults.

Let's meet on Twitter and I promise to take you to the cleaners with superior arguement

Kudejo:
Personally, I believe Ghana deserves worse than this and I will happily go there as an insurgent sent to help the people of western Togo land if I am ordered to do so by the Nigerian government but the fact is : Nigeria plays a strong role in peacekeeping across the continent, we regularly deploy troops to unstable countries and we have strong ties to the US, so funding a rebellion in a neighbouring country would be out of the question (but then again we closed our borders knowing it would mean the loss of 200million potential customers to neighboring countries so I can't completely denounce this theory)

You have no idea what a failed state is, so please delete this

Rossinky:


Bro, every time I look at that map, it just screams 'possible Nigerian involvement'.

Whenever rebel groups suddenly start to flex more than before, it is usually because they've received new sources of funding/support from somewhere.

Don't forget that that movement has been around for a long time, albeit dormant. Now they've suddenly upped the ante, and taken it to the next level.

Sub-regional analysts are asking ''where are they getting this new funding and support from?''

Rossinky:


Stop projecting your dumbness and self-hate unto 'Nigeria'.

In one classroom alone in Nigeria are people far more educated than your entire family, so your claim about the country being ''too dumb'' for anything is senseless. The govt is so dumb yet they are ruling over a Mr Smart, bottom-scratching wretch like you who 'knows everything'.
