Russia has Ukraine to deal with as her mythical military invincibility has been demystified.

Only backward Africa looks up to Russia.

Abi nah.

Despite Wagner mercenaries in Mali, Jihadists and terrorists have taken over half of Mali. I wonder which Sahel country is next. Most likely Niger republic.
If you check the map you will see that the rebels only operate on an empty desert

Russia's warning is enough to send danger signals to African nations which about participating in military action,they should know that whatever the west is in support Russia is likely to move against it.The interest is beyond the Africa it involves rival superpowers.

No country is small and can easily be defeated in a war because there will be an ally, Now I'm beginning to believe the next proxy war between Russia and western/USA will be fought in west Africa if our leaders are not careful and this will destabilized the west Africa and most Africa countries.





I've had same thought for a long while too even before now, because of the way our leaders greatly fraternize with the West.

Struggling in Ukraine ?

You watch too much western propaganda western news…

If Putin wants to blow up the entire Ukraine in one day he can surely do it …

You don’t know they were USSR before ? It’s like killing his own people if he decides to use brute force…

It would have been different if Putin was fighting against some western or Asian countries …
Oga na lie. Apart from nuclear weapon what else. Russia is second military in Ukraine and not the world. Mind you that some of those nuclear weapons once belonged to Ukrainians, before they were transferred to Russia under peace agreement.
Russia is nothing, if the zóô called Nigeria was a better country, they will beat Russia hands down.

Like I have stated, African democracy is different from USA.US don't use thugs to snatch ballot boxes.US presidential candidates don't bribe presidential candidates don't bribe the electorate for votes.USA presidential candidates don't bribe the electoral body to announce results for their favour.Lastly,USA presidential candidates don't share packs of rice and ororo for votes.

US is corrupt than you imagined.

I don't think your updated with what's going on in Ukraine, I'm not in support of the war going on there but Russia talks and act, Russia said she might advance if peace talk is not an option which she is already advancing in kharkiv region. Ukraine is disappointed that Isreal is pro Russian and Ukraine counter failed and still failing. Only one country blocked access to black sea, Wagner are in Belarus, Poland and Lituania are all afraid beefing up their security screaming everyday, getting scared and your here telling me Russian army are be demystified.

At this point I think it is needed that Russia itself openly come out to support Niger, not only with words.
The European countries and their Western allies need to see Putin releasing like 3_5 Nuclear submarines from Moscow heading towards West Africa and European coasts,standing on standby ready for action.
only this singular move of releasing nuclear-armed submarine even if it is just two to the west African Coast targeting i Lagos and Abuja and two release through the Strait of Europe aiming European cities will stop and silence the war cry from the west .


Also this will stop the nonsense Confrontation that Nigeria and ECOWAS are Wailing on Niger.
Just like what was done to support Cuba then and aiming towards Berlin,Paris,London,Lagos and Abuja,they won't dare attack Niger.
they say a stitch in time saves nine, Russia need to stop being discrete,they need to do it openly and send strong signal and message to the west if they truly want Brics nation to see that they have a good ally and i an very sure no Nigerian will want a Nuclear armed submarine apapa aiming towards Lagos and Abuja and no European want submarines very close to their seas aiming towards maybe Germany and Switzerland .
their country Representatives in the Parliament Will wake up against the war move and silence these their greedy leaders.
Oga as you MUMU reach.
Na only Putin go dey throw him own nuclear weapons while those countries you mentioned, will be crying and clapping for him without retaliation, because na only him get nuclear weapons.
Some of una Mumu Sha. Mind you one there's nuclear war, even you góat capping this nonsense will be affected. do you know what is radiation cloud.

Are you aware that the Russian economy for the very first time, according to world bank, is now the 5th biggest economy in the world replacing Germany which was the best in Europe?
Russia just sent a massive gigantic space jet into space heading for the moon costing billions of dollars to put up. Continue to believe at your own expense the propaganda that Russia is on the slide.

my brother that's what you think, everyone has woken up now before you think you will finish someone under one day you will be shocked how it will last. I believe no one plans a fight without weighing it cost . There's a proverb in my place ; suicide is not a thought of one day , it took days if not months of planning. Let tinubu try 😁

In as much as I want those useless Nigerien military junta out of power immediately, I think Nigeria needs to tread with caution here. An all out war against Niger will cause a very serious internal Implosion in Nigeria which may lead to a civil war !

Let me explain : See,those seven Nigerian states in the North that share boundaries with the republic of Niger consist of a very large population of mostly illiterates who see no difference between themselves and the people of Niger. The reason for that is not far fetched though;those people share a very strong cultural and religious affinity with the Nigeriens. They see themselves as same people as the people of Niger. Former President Buhari is a typical example in this regard. There are actually,some Emirates in Nigeria that have territorial expansions to Niger republic and vise versa. An average Northerner sees any war declared against Niger republic as a war against northern Nigeria and interests !

Now,the problem : Tinubu is a Southerner and that makes the whole thing very dicey ! Some northern elements are already saying that Tinubu is hellbent on going to war with Niger because he knew it was northern Nigeria that would be largely affected ! They are already setting a very dangerous North versus South agenda ! Nobody should be surprised,I won't be anyway,if ecowas eventually declared a full blown war against Niger's military junta and Northerners start attacking southerners,especially Yorubas living in the North ! It would be a different thing if a Northerner was the President of Nigeria at this point in time. Does anyone think a key northern figure like Buhari will ever support a Nigerian led military invasion of Niger ? That's highly doubtful.

Tinubu needs to be very careful. He can use economic sanctions to subdue those crazy khaki boys in Niger. There is no way Niger republic can survive ecowas economic sanctions for six months. It is not possible. And more importantly,we can't afford to turn our region (west Africa sub region) to a battlefield of a proxy war between foreign imperialist powers ! There are so many examples around we can learn from - Syria, Libya,Afghanistan,Ukraine,Somalia,etc.

Why is US and France telling ecowas how to deal with a problem that doesn't concern ecowas?
It's West Africa now in Europe or Americas?
Putin is simply telling ecowas not to be pawns.
Besides, the Nigerien army have been warming up to Russia since the coup. All the protests have seen their citizens waving Russian flag so they have been invited by Niger

Ask yourself who is funding ECOWAS and giving them money. That should answer your question. As long as there is economic problem in ECOWAS and all the countries including Nigeria are in debt, their creditors and potential benefactors will dictate the tune.
