‘Russia Will Back Niger Republic Against Nigeria’ — Tinubu Warned Against Starting ‘War’ Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has been urged to exercise caution after West African leaders led by him threatened to take military action against the new junta that recently ousted President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger Republic. Bazoum was removed by his personal security aides in the country’s presidential guard — making it the sixth successful coup to be recorded in West Africa since August 2020. Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane announced the overthrow of Bazoum who took power on April 2, 2021. THE WHISTLER reported that President Tinubu who doubles as the chairperson of ECOWAS had in his first reaction warned the junta that “the world will not tolerate any situation that incapacitates the democratically-elected government” of Niger Republic. The ECOWAS leaders subsequently held an emergency meeting on Sunday in Abuja, where they resolved to forcefully invade Niger Republic to restore democratic order in the country. Amid the threat, the junta reportedly announced that it was immediately suspending the export of uranium and gold to France, with the country said to account for 24% export of uranium to the EU. But Shehu Sani, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District of Kaduna State, has warned President Tinubu not to “allow himself to be pushed to initiate and trigger a war with a neighbouring country and later be left stranded”. According to him, Russia may back Niger Republic against Nigeria in the event that a war supervenes. In a tweet, Sani gave the following thirteen reasons Tinubu should tow the path of negotiation instead of subscribing to use of force in resolving the problem. 1 Ecowas armed invasion of Niger Republic is simply a war between Nigeria and Niger because of our proximity. 2 Russia and Wagner May come in support of Niger Republic and Nigeria will have to use its own money to prosecute the operation; Nigeria offsets 70percent of the budget of Ecowas. I don’t see the US Congress approving unlimited arm supplies for Ecowas to wage war against another country. 3 Our Bordering states of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa and Yobe will incur direct hit in the event of war. 4 If there was no military action to dislodge the military coupists in Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad,why that of Niger Republic?. 5 Why did the American and French military bases inside Niger Republic refused to stop the coup and now they are encouraging us to go to war? 6 Niger has been helpful to Nigeria in the fight against terrorists groups and the country is currently hosting over 303 thousand Nigerian refugees; in the event of war this can be in danger. 7 President Tinubu should not allow himself to be pushed to initiate and trigger a war with a neighbouring country and later be left stranded.No west African country has any military capability to start or sustain a war with Niger Republic;everyone will be relying on Nigeria. 8 We should not cry more than the bereaved; If the people of Niger Republic don’t want Military rule,let them fight to remove it themselves.We fought our own military rulers and some of us even went to jail in that struggle.Let them fight their fight. 9 Saudi Arabia is still bugged down in Yemen after spending hundreds of billions of dollars which we don’t have. 10 The Military Regime in Myanmar is still there and not one stronger nation is contemplating military action. 11 We have a war at home against terrorism let’s concentrate here. 12 Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinean forces will likely enter the war to Support Niger Republic and they will attack Nigerian territories. 13 President Tinubu must continue to toe the line of dialogue with the military authorities in Niger and not War.

How much will it cost to prosecute or defend a war in Niger compared to the lithium that is at stake? Russia does not need to come in directly, Wagner will do the job after settlement terms have been reached. Watch the US, UK and other western actors stand aside and look. AllenSpencer: 8 Likes |

There is sense in this talk. I learnt Nigeria has cut off electricity to niger, thus breaching a pact with the country signed may years ago iro kainji dam. I see the dam not having sufficient water to function in the coming days, or the dam being brown up completely, thus throwing a section of Nigeria into darkness. Tinubu is fighting to be accepted, he is a tool for France (we all know his relationship with France). But like he has been warned, he should watch his back lest he faces a coup himself. Eliminate terrorism in Nigeria first before going to fight a sovereign Nation. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Bankowner: Same Wagner in Belarus? Seems you forget that in an eventuality, Ecowas would be getting all the funds from NATO That’s reality Putin himself failed to put on the table! Theor is no way you can defeat rich allied forces. Imagine when only a small Germany has a glbigget economy than the whole Russia! California being just a state in the US has a far more more bigger economy than the entire Russia, and Russia wants to fight all. Same mistake Hitler made! When reality is out the table and addressed without bias, you will find the truth! Money funds war! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Good Talk, a word is a enough for the wise, The Americans are playing the world, fighting Russia outside their shores, Nigeria should be careful we have enough problems to grapple with at the moment.

You don't get it, do you? Wagner is an independent war contractor that does not go for money/cash alone. The lithium in Niger is enough for the group to go to war for free in exchange. And you mention NATO! I laugh in Swahili. Which African country is a member of NATO? Apart from the lithium, what else is there in Niger to make the bloc expend resources in a war with coupists and war mercenaries? AllenSpencer: 3 Likes |

Bankowner: You talk about France, United States and you ignoring NATO! Germany is an automobile hub, shouldn’t you know they source materials from Africa! If it’s about protecting France interest in Niger, It’s blatantly about protecting NATO’s interests. Forget the cosmetic. And as for Wagner, how much can they do against NATO? Wagner is just like Boko Haram sponsored and equipped by Russia. They have no idea economy of their own to sustain a war! 5 Likes |

| Re: Russia Will Back Niger Republic Against Nigeria — Tinubu Warned by Letpray4BAT: 6:02am On Aug 03, 2023 |
Now that Niger blocked their border How do we do that pipeline across the Sahara down to Algiers how does Nigeria run that package that is the only hope for the westerners since they blocked Russia? Now Russia just blocked that opportunity for them and Nigeria to make money and so much money have being spent on that project and it is being watched and secured by the US/Nato based in Agadez as part of the Nato agreement to secure the interest of all Allies don't forget Niger until the Junta belongs to France even the president lives in France I just pray Africa no scatter again but as for the westerners they will feel the heat as Price of things would double again just lit it did with Ukraine/ Russia. Worrysome Niger provides electricity for France and some Neighboring countries in Europe but Niger doesn't have light and has to depend on Nigeria to have electricity that we do not have ..Imagine, and we just stopped giving them Electricity they have in abundance Africa needs to help God. Europeans are wicked by default 1 Like |

Rolings: South Africa contracted the Wagner groups to Niger so they won't answer Nigeria. secondly, that was an error in the eyes of Westerners and they saw Jonatan as the enemy and tried to use human rights against him. For most of the mistakes we faulted Jonatan i pray God to give BAT wisdom to handle it the reason why i will always appreciate GEJ he gave peace against greed |

Ofunaofu: Now, the power cut is a breach of agreement which can affect Nigeria seriously if Niger too decides to go ahead to follow suit. |

Rolings: That even makes it worst even though that is the only option we as Nigerians Right now all Nigerian Assets in Niger are locked as we cut power supply to Niger. Tinubu should forget about sales of Oil if he wants to be neutral in this war and face Agriculture, Electricity, and internal security mainly. Now he don collect power wey pass am Chair of ecowas a.k.a Western Influence so he must do the needful follow them and face the Juntas because now it's tricky he must obey them he likes it or not and that is where Shettima comes in handy for them if He Tinubu disobeys his masters. POLITICS OF INTEREST As an individual, I am not sure I will want to follow the US to war based on records of how they abandon their puppets and let you start yourself but for Russia and China even Cuba, because Gadafi spent a hell of money for these 3 countries, I still wonder why they did not support Gaddafi so I will advise Nigeria to stand alone and build ourselves it is not easy but we can do it. Fouck those countries they never see as us as the same. Period 1 Like |
