That is why it is not in the interest of a Nigeria to hastily rush to flex against a strategic neighbour because of change of govt

This present government is just cluelessly dancing to the tunes of their Colonial Masters and the terrorist West...!

The smart thing should be to observe the nation of Niger and see where they go from the coup. Whether or not they will conduct and transition back to a proper democracy.

But nope, anything America and Western Europe whisper into the ears of our leaders to do, they rush without thinking to do.

Are you implying we should go and fight other people’s war because of a military coup when the current government we have here in Nigeria came about as a result of a civilian coup?

Let us remove the logs 🪵 in our eyes before worrying about a speck of dust in other people’s eyes.

What do you think Niger war would do to us... Remember they will all flee south to Nigeria

As a Military Colonel or General, If you want to rule, simply resign join Politics and contest

You can't bully people to lead them as dictator.. that is long gone and unacceptable


* To the people confused on why we provide electricity to neighboring countries*

Nigeria Generates its electricity through Dams , we Dam rivers like Niger and Benue that flows in from other countries

For the water flow to have enough force to turn our turbine in places like Kanji we needed to stop other countries from building their own dam with the river

General Abacha had to sign an agreement with the neighbors, that we provide electricity and they pay but they are not going to Dam the river

that’s why I love nairaland , you go show learn something new everyday ni ,

This is Tinubu's opportunity to cut Niger Republic into size. They hugely depend on Nigeria bcs of their cousins up there.

But they got the boldness to raise shoulder in our presence

You are right. Its really dangerous, for the government of Nigeria to follow the west blindly, without thinking about their future and the bond between their immediate neighbors.

USA uses drugs and puppets to impoverish its American Neighbors. They are far from Africa, and USA will not suffer the consequences of any decision that causes more problems in west Africa.

Good!

The enemies of democracy who claim their mandate was stolen, but craved military rule as the alternative to their own candidate winning, would soon come here to tell us how Mali or Burkina-Faso will fight Nigeria for Niger Republic.

Those sanctions when applied altogether would cripple Niger within 2months.

Electricity will make a black nation yield?

Even if they cut their light for 1 year, they won't feel it.

For the past how many months we never see light for my street, na him person wan use as sanctions? Nawa oh.

They should invade.

Good Move in the Right Direction. Load them with more Sanctions so they can feel the Heat.

That's not how it works sir...

If Niger starts feeling the heat from global sanctions, guess where the refugees start pouring in en'masse?

At the moment Nigeria is financially struggling and any further pressure on the economy will make Nigeria tilt towards Niger's direction.

Take note, 4 countries within that region are also under military rule and they will collaborate closely if Nigeria gets aggressive.

Not to forget the proxy war that Russia and the west will potentially commence in Nigeria's backyard- Unlike Ukraine that is located under the EU's nose, there will be no hesitation to use far more destructive weapons in this African fracas.

Guy no be so o... this situation needs to be de-escalated very diplomatically.

The Real definition of Big Brother Africa


Gbamsolutely!!!

On Saturday, the African Union (AU) gave the soldiers 15 days to return to their barracks and restore civil rule in the country.
Niger will also be suspended from all financial assistance and transactions with financial institutions within ECOWAS.

Peace is all we want in our world.

A lot of you just yarn Rubbish. You just wake up and start building a nuclear power plant. You won't have to go through the International approval and Nuclear power plant cost peanuts I guess.

Even the cheapest and efficient Nuclear plant costs at least $8billion. Where do you think Russia would pull out $8billion from for Niger Republic?

Even Putin would dance Awilo and go on a one week Praise singing program if they got someone investing $8billion in a new plant for them.
