Uranium isn't something that is that scarce. Heck tens of countries have large deposits of Uranium.

Also Uranium trade isn't something you just dig up and start touting on the international market. Also France was paying above market value for Niger Republic's Uranium so as to help the country. Canada , Mexico is ramping up production of Uranium.

Believe the trash from Russia that they forgave $23b at your own Peril. They should state the breakdown and the countries they would give the money to.

It is laughable calling Russia debt forgiveness of some African countries trash! but will praise sing the west to high heaven for their own debt forgiveness?

Regardless of your pro west perception, the somalia nation are very grateful to russian

.....they can divert to our national grid. What business do we have exporting electricity?

It's an agreement we made so Niger won't dam the river upstream of us for their own hydro plant. We had enough capacity from Kainji back in the 70's; trouble is we didn't plan for the explosive growth in population and demand, and waste a lot on an inefficient grid.

see: https://dailytrust.com/presidency-why-nigeria-exports-electricity-to-benin-togo-niger/

If there's a treaty in place, then Nigeria is in violation of those agreements, coup notwithstanding, and will encourage Niger to accelerate their plans for a dam.

The useless coup plotter in Niger will not last till end of August whether ECOWAS or any country interfere or not. He will probably be killed by one of his own greedy colleague.

Sanctions better than war

Landlocked country dey make mouth against Nigeria

Na why I pity southeast Nigeria

If Nigeria split today, southeast is the only region that cannot stand alone. They will be landlocked and Nigeria will finish them with sanctions

Nigeria won't better if there is Biafra, I can assure you.

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

We will build wall. Let the North and Buhari enjoy Niger Republic and all it has to offer. After all he invested there more than in Southern Nigeria

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.

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.

God bless AFRICA......from all of us @MANNA!

Most times, the solution is inward, I hope the Nigerien can harness the Uranium deposit to their advantage.

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

* Why is it our Business ?!

Hillary Clinton, Obama and Gaddafi started a war in Libya...

Illicit arms from Europe got into Libya

Boko Haram began buying cheap illicit arms

The insurgency has lasted for over 10 years

how many years would Niger Crisis and it's insurgency last if we don't act now?!

Can we handle Niger IDP and refugee flowing in to Nigeria

.
Please kindly explain why we supply power to Benin, Togo and Ghana?

We supply Gas for generation of power to Ghana and not electricity

Benin and Togo buys power from our National grid because it's cheaper and because both countries are unable to Dam their side of River Niger
