Bad strategy.

No fly zone in war time does not stop enemy fly-in, but stops commercial flights. Let's deploy a thousand drones in 5 minutes and exhaust their batteries and then get our jets to drop bombs on their tanks and inventories.

We can start with that.

I doubt they'll apply this. Reminds me of the film 'Patriot' where you load and fire, you allow me to also load and fire until the last man standing wins.
Finally charge with bayonets.

Fear don grip Coupist , and his Fellow Coupist accross West Africa

Facts.. about the invasion

✓Europe is a cold continent that heavily need gas for electricity, energy and heat

✓Russia is European largest Supplier of Gas through Nord Stream 1 and 2 , US is also a supplier

✓Nigeria has one of the largest gas reserve in the world infact we burn and flare gas wasting it for fun

✓European Union wants to build a Gas pipeline from Niger Delta to Morroco and Europe through Spain.. giving them very cheap Nigeria gas

✓Nigeria is set to make Billions of Dollars, which Russia makes


P.S; people talking about Boko Haram and Bandit,

✓International Military convention you can't use maximum lethal force on your own citizens, Boko Haram are Kanuri, Bandits are Hausa, Herdsmen are Fulani

✓Jonathan tried it an US stop selling weapons to him because he killed his own people




.
there is no such law that says you can't use maximum lethal force against terrorist who are your citizens, the same law of armed conflict govern every combatant .

Again more than 80% of bandits are not Nigerians

Yea.

1. Just send a strike team of special forces to insert where Bazoum is being held.
2. Extract him by helicopter to Agadez or Zinder.
3. Reconstitute the internationally recognised government there.
4. Send troops to route the few soldiers (if any) still loyal to the junta in Niamey.
5. Everyone, go home.

See? I'm a military genius.

Are you guys so daft or deliberately blind to see that the coup has popular local support? You want to go forcefully change government in another man's house against the will of majority populace? You guys want to create another Libya in your backyard. Shame is calling Tinubu, I am so sure.

So we should allow the soldiers to rule the Africa continent?
What is their leadership quality like?
That you can shoot a gun and kill does not mean you are a leader.
Take example Nigeria 's former president,Buhari ,what did he do as a president?
One hell of a failure,that man !
All I know ,the ballot remain the best way to choose a leader,not the bullet.

Use force to do what?

If coup d'etat shouldn't be the norm in Africa, should bad governance and poverty be the norm?

Which is more prevalent in Africa, coups or poverty/bad governance?

So, round table talks is what Nigeria should be pushing for right now if we are wise.

Let me check your honesty on Dictatorship

What if You wake up tomorrow and you Governor , LGA Chairman, and all your leaders got arrested and replaced by Colonel Danladi Bako from Katsina, Major General Amzat Ibrahim from Kano, and this guys don't share anything Christianity in fact they hate it

Not true. Stop taking everything Kolade-Otitoju says hook line and sinker. Even he doesn't say "more than 80%".

Seriously though, there are foreign elements among bandits, but the vast majority of them are Nigerian Fulanis. The big big leaders of that sector, dead or alive - Buharin Daji, Dogo Gide, Kachalla Turji, Dan Karami, etc - are all Nigerians.

Niger coupe plotters are opportunist. Democratic system is better for all, we just need to cut running costs of our democracy, and corruption of politicians. Political parties in Africa are still getting it wrong, national growth and development must come first before partisanship.

Africa unite, when we fight, Europe and the West find a way to perpetuate neo colonialism.

Biafra was heavily supported by her citizens, why did Nigeria soldiers defeat them? Citizens don't fight war, soldiers do. Engaging in this war will be f00lishness on their part, they can't match ECOWAS/AU. Niger as a country don't have the capacity to fight this type of war. They will only end up destroying their land

Foolish coupist. How they plan to win ECOMOG i still never know. All that it takes is to capture the coup leader or force him to flee the country and the war is over. Even Taylo do pass this one for Liberia. Hehehe. Make these coupist just return power jeje and gtf. Mtcheew. Nigeria/Ghana/Togo/Benin/Guinea Bissau/Guinea/Liberia/Sierra Leone/Senegal/Ivory Coast and many other more millitaries all against you. The Malians and Burkinabe soldiers una dey wait for for support dey busy collect wotowoto from ISIS. LOL. Make dis junta guys rest. You have no way to defeat ECOWAS millitary. Make una rest.

Remove Guinea because they are supporting Niger. Note that during charles taylor's time there was no strategic alliance he was under. He simply wanted to have power so that he can sell Diamonds from Sierra Leone. This situation is far different with Russia involved and the plan is clear to control the Uranium and cut off the Gas pipeline to Europe.

You watch too much films. .and that is why people use Propaganda to hoodwink you into supporting Nonsense.

Where will they get fuel from?

Where will they get drones from? Even if they buy, who are the mercenaries that will operate them?

The Jets and helicopters you operate are obsolete and that is why they breakdown and are easily smashed by insurgents.

If it's ground battle, they will kill your troops mercilessly, because it's their terrain.

So before you talk just try and think...spits




You are saying absolute nonsense. Niger combined with Mali and Burkina Faso would be crushed by Nigerian army. You do not know the capability of the Nigerian armed forces... You saying some things are obsolute, that's the biggest lie of the century, you speak ignorantly. We have one of the strongest army in Africa, we have artilleries, our air force is very strong we also have a one of the strongest navies in Africa. Speak based on facts not sentiment
