It's because Niger does not have nuclear weapon. If they have Ecowas would not move that idea

And just by work of God Tinubu has ended up the worst President in Nigerian history. Every intelligent mind knows that the war will spread and there's likelihood of internal reprisals from within Nigeria since we share same ethnic and religious affiliation with Niger. May the innocent Nigerians not be affected by this poor decision but rather the guilty and their relatives. Amen

Dvdpity:

So Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Niger are not ECOWAS?. Plain stupidity.

ECOWAS action is vis-a-vis Nigeria action.
How many soldiers and equipments do Benin Republic Togo Ivory coast and Senegal has.
Ghana, Togo, Liberia has made it clear that they won't be sending any soldier to invade Niger Republic.

It's Nigeria, Benin, Senegal, serria lone, and ivory coast that will invade Niger Republic supported by mali Guinea Burkina Faso and Chad.

Interesting war..for France US and UK of cos EU.

When did Ghana, Togo , Liberia indicate they wont send their soldiers. Not saying you are lyinng but point me to the resource you lied on.

Also, how will Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso support ECOWAS when they have declared to support Niger?

Too many contradictions in a single post

So many dumb responses here.
This is first stage of war: psychological.
The war is not Nigeria vs Niger it is Ecowas vs Niger. All Ecowas countries will bring their armies and armours.

It is jot a war against Niger but to prevent what many never forseen that might happen in most countries in Africa and the style of ruling.

Bauzoum is elected and must either remain or impeached. Niger might experience cote'dvoire ruling of Gbagbo.

e be like u no even no wetin u de talk.

who is ECOWAS? what is ECOWAS without Nigeria?

the people that elected Bazoum, are they complaining that he has been removed by a coup?

Tinubu has finally declared war on Hausas, having heard that Hausas makes up about 50% of Niger population.

Northerners should ask themselves this question; If Niger shares common Boundary with Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Ondo would Tinubu still talk about invading Niger?

Anyway, this War will favour me and my family grin

He will invade it. Yorubas don't play politics of spoilers or sentiment. Obasanjo a Yoruba man as Nigeria president dealt with Lagos state, starve her of fund and completely destroyed OPC, a Yoruba defence group. He jailed Tafa Balogun, a Yoruba Nigeria IG, even starve the entire southwest, his region of development bcs of party politics. Don't ever compare a Yoruba man with an Igbo or Hausa in terms of fair playing in Nigeria politics.

It is a war that has to be fought.

ECOWAS is not Nigeria. Each country that makes up ECOWAS will donate soldiers and funding.

ECOWAS can not allow the junta allow the free flow of Jihadists via the Sahel into their respective countries.

The Junta fluffed every opportunity for reason.

They will kill those junta guys in Niger republic including their general.. the diplomacy route was followed but they refused to back down.

Ecowas has a duty to its member states and that includes right to democracy and security.

ECOWAS decision is not final. The president needs the consent of Nigeria's legislature. That's the beauty of democracy.
In military rule, the president would have attacked Niger by now.

We Northerners say NO to military invasion of Niger Republic. We ll never let this happen.


You don’t have a choice! That’s a president with balls 🏀


Just count your losses

Democracy has not been working in Africa. All it has produced are civilian dictators, rigged elections, corruption and continued exploitation by colonial masters.

You must be a kid.

Anyway, this is your take home: The worst democracy is better than the best military.

If you do not understand the statement above consult an expert in economics, government, and international relations.

Shalom!!!

Who promised to bring half of the total number of soldiers that would invade?
