The masquerade is yet to dance in the square. If things do not take a different turn, the real issues will play out after the dust is calm.

Firstly, BOLA Ahmed Tinubu took a thoughtless decision to cut electricity supply to Niger Republic, breaking the 1960 pact between the two countries. A forward thinking leadership will plan for the possibility of a retaliation from Niger Republic. But, it looks like the man is busy trying to make name for himself.


If the other country eventually decides to build a dam over the River Niger, it will have noticeable socio-economic impact on Nigeria.

Secondly, If Tinubu does not execute his treat of invasion, there will, undeniable, be a serious dent on his capacity, further diminishing the perceived image of Nigeria as the African giant. Also, this will also establish the narrative on the international scene that ECOWAS is a puppet of the west.

Niger Republic cannot do anything that we have an effect on even Lagos Agberos or Kano Almajaris or Anambra traffick traders. Dem never born dem Mama

Where will she get the money to do it?

So according to your logic, if Nigeria doesn't fight against Niger Republic for the west, then Nigeria would be seen as a western puppet ? What type of mad man logic is this ?
And since when is Nigeria the "giant of Africa", what does that even mean ? And why in hell should we give a fvck ?
And you are suggesting we go and die for mere Ego? Tell the west to leave Niger Republic alone, they have broken free from slavery ! They will sell their uranium at market value from now on, and to the highest bidder.

After cutting off electricity from Niger nko?

U don't build a dam by making nóísé online, a river that's dammed at one point can still be dammed at another point.
Moreover Tinubu said they will explore every means possible to restore democracy to Niger even military interventions.
How u Obi supporters turned it to a wàr event every blessed day is baffling.
U are all hoping and praying that Nigèria faiIs terribly then come 2027 u will tell us u want Nigèria to prosper, let's vote ur governor that can't live in the state he govèrñed.
U guys need to work harder.

From the refined oil that is being sold to Nigerians. Especially Diesel.Ignoramus youth sigh

The way Pandora SE people carry this Niger matter for head no get part 2.

When you hate yourself and your country to the core, even the lowest country beneath you fit be your oga overnight, see how den turn Niger to a world power that Nigeria should be begging?

One clown even prayed that Nigerian soldiers must return dead in body bags.

May God please watch over us because these evil pandora Igbos don't wish Nigeria well.

Let them Dam it

The Nigerian Air force will blow it up in 2 days

Bad news for Nigeria.

Guinea is already building its dam at the beginning of the river and Niger dam will be useless and probably suspended because the funding will no longer be provided.

Nigeria, unlike Niger, that is landlocked like our Southeast, still has river Benue to supply our tributaries to the delta and direct access to the Atlantic in Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Bayelsa states. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Odeh, the project started in 2019.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandadji_Dam

Nigeria's image as the giant of Africa long faded with the winds of incompetent governance and detrimentally rudderless leadership..

So this your grammar is coming a tad too late.

Niger military deployed their anti aircraft defence system and threatened to shoot down any aircraft entering Niger airspace.
Niger's military junta had sent out the NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) that the country's airspace had closed, impact immediate.
Any attempts to fly over the country would be met with an “energetic and immediate response.”

Let them build it
Nigeria has ability to blow up any Niger Dam without even leaving Nigeria

By the Way Majority of the SW Rivers do not have their sources from the Niger

Kwara will be affected but Lokoja Area also has the River Benue

Sponsored write-ups everywhere,cutting the electricity is well served ,discontinuing with the Maradi railway project "initiated by their brother,"from loans that will be paid with oil money, from the north will be the most appropriate option

Maybe you don't understand. River Niger is a tributary to the Atlantic ocean, that means that the river flows from Niger, into Nigeria, and finally, into the Atlantic. If that river is dammed where will Nigeria get the river flow to power it's hydro-electric plants?

JagabanB:

U don't build a dam by making nóísé online, a river that's dammed at one point can still be dammed at another point.

It seems that you need some brush-up lessons in physics, specifically, the difference between potential/kinetic energy and their conservation. If that river is dammed in the Niger then the available energy in the Kainji dam is much more reduced, which means much lower electricity output, along with all the attendant economic issues.

JagabanB:

Moreover Tinubu said they will explore every means possible to restore democracy to Niger even military interventions.

Sounds like pork to me.

JagabanB:

This has nothing to do with Obi or the Obidient movement for that matter but rather why a sitting president would breath "military intervention" out loud without being absolutely sure that he can sustain such.

Actually we are not hoping for Nigeria to fall. We are hoping for a Nigeria where presidential elections are not determined by "Ghana must go", Bullion vans or a plate of indomie and a crummy tee shirt.

We are hoping for a Nigeria where it is impossible for a single individual to override the will of millions of citizens, selecting his choice of candidate as president instead.

We are hoping for a Nigeria where competent leaders that truly care for the progress of Nigeria are elected and not for the selection of one whose only ambition is to loot the national treasury dry, right before selling the entire country to western actors.

So you see, we are in fact hoping for the same Nigeria that you are hoping for.

P.S. We are working harder, in fact we have worked so hard that even your champion international motor-mouth put himself in a fix with his "military intervention" in some deluded notion that such an intervention would cement his shaky position as president.

I agree. The reason TIEFNUBU should have thought about that before cutting electricity going to Niger.✅

Alusiizizi:


I don't think that you fully understood the sentiment of the OP. Re-read.

The op didn't speak with clarity. A few more words and better punctuation was needed. He didn't specify that it is "invading Niger Republic" which would make Nigeria look like a puppet, instead he said that "not invading would make tinubu and Nigeria lose credibility" then he followed by just saying "this would make Nigeria look like a western puppet".
I can't stress enough how important it is to express yourself without ambiguity or to express yourself clearly. It is very possible to write the opposite of what you think, if you are not careful enough.

Here is an article:
https://www.barrons.com/news/niger-speeds-up-efforts-to-build-first-hydroelectric-dam-01632497409

No, Nigeria is not in trouble.
This is not the 1950s, Kanji dam as at today provides about 20% of Nigeria's electricity,
a substantial part of which is already exported.

It will have an effect but not something we can't handle.
