They should transfer the blame to the military juntas that overthrew a legitimate government. If the coup didn't occur, the sanctions wouldn't have happened

What is legitimate in this kind of democracy in Africa? It seem the democracy practice in Africa is to kill and bury the poor and the less privileges while the elites and the rich keep get richer and fatter.
I support military government than this useless and inhuman system of government called democracy that only favor the elites n the rich.

Meanwhile, if the coup was sponsored by a military personnel from the minority tribe in Niger, would the people in the majority tribe be comfortable and accepted it?
It is a lesson for Bazoum and other African leaders still practicing democracy that once you take over power, you need to rejig and reshuffle the security apparatus especially the head. I learnt the guy that plotted the coup worked with the former president for several years and Bazoum did not deem it fit to retire and replace him with someone who can be loyal to him.

Let them go and meet putin

Governments need to be mindful of pacts they enter into, if you want to operate in isolation go the North Korea way or go the China or Russian way. I blame the fake pan Africanist agenda of all these countries, in the end, selfishness and deceit rules

The sanctions and blocked roads is a good move.
Military intervention is a horrible move.

The people of Niger are not against the coup , from the news so far... why allow a government that makes you poorer.

what do you think about your government in Nigeria? have you received your little token/or prayer this morning?

Fugazy2023:

So you prefer to have the government back in power to allow foreigners to exploit the resources of the country ... slave the citizens and do absolutely nothing to benefit the masses but have them continue living in poverty? Don't you know this is a popular coup? ... supported by most Nigeriens? Nigeriens trying to break out from colonialism and here you are like ECOWAS wanting the oppressors back in charge. I guess younwere also against Nelson Mandela fighting for freedom and supported the legitimate Apartheid government.

"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.... none but ourselves can free our minds.."

Bob Marley.

@ topic. ECOWAS is following orders from the West. Closing any of the borders will affect the economy and the masses in all ECOWAS countries. ... does the West care? All they care about is for the government to be reinstated so they can continue to plunder Niger.

Close the borders .... to stop arms from being smuggled in .... how about resources being smuggled out?

Fugazy2023:


Since the majority of the people are living like slaves as you have projected then they shouldn't have a problem voting him out in the next election and bring in the person they want LEGITIMATELY

Is election credible in Africa? They are bent on holding on to power, bully other parties with incumbent power.

It's ECOWAS no longer an economic community?
Why can't Tinubu and ECOWAS allow Nigeriens to carry their cross?
Why cry more than the bereaved?
The Nigeriens are happy, why cry for them?

That's why this life is not balanced. I have given this a thought as well and I am wondering why the interest of the Nigerien is not being considered. Since the people are not against what is happening in their country why is ECOWAS trying hard to invade the country? If African leaders want democracy to strive in Africa, they should ensure good governance and prioritise the needs of the people. With the level of insecurity and hardship in Nigeria do think in the invent that the military intervenes, the Nigerians will resist and stand in support of these criminal politicians? The answer is NO except for tribal reasons.

helinues:
That's inevitable. Movement should be restricted.

ECOWAS wouldn't want arms to be smuggled via that route

Do you think anyone can stop Wagner if they want to take weapons into Niger.

Una don carry tribalism mentality enter this charade.
As a man thinketh, so is he in his heart.
Most people like to project their thoughts onto others because they believe everyone thinks like them.
So when i see someone projecting tribal sentiments when it's uncalled for, in most cases i see that person as the guilty party.

Back to the topic, I haven't commented on this Niger Coup brouhaha because i didn't deem it necessary.
We should all let sleeping dogs lie (live and let live).
The people of Niger decided to do what they think is best for them, they are also happy with the short term outcome.

If a military govt. Is going to hurt them in the long run, na them sabi, it's none of our business.
If a military govt. Is going to bring them prosperity in the long run, congrats to them, na them sabi, it's none of our business as well.

There is no need to struggle with anybody concerning any issues. This world is big enough to contain everybody. It's greed, unchecked ambitions, envy, hatred and all evil vices that come from within that make leaders to wage wars. Wars are first fought in the head before it metamorphoses into a physical conflict.

Live and let live.

Tinubu didn't force Benin republic to block thier borders.

Henryfortune:



I don't know why we are so blinded to this facts.... Nigerians are only sympathetic to this issue because of the fact that it's a Nigerian president that's heading ECOWAS and they hated him for just know reasons... if it were somebody else maybe we would not be surporting this army take over of government..... Democracy is still the best form of government if the political elites allow the people true power .. military only make things harder for any country Nigeria not an exception look at how much we lost as a nation under military rules

And a bleeding country like Nigeria that can't maintain refineries nor refine crude, with insecurities of Bokoharam, bandits, herdsmen, ISWAP and IPOB miscreants and local currency fallings like empty barrels and factories closing everyday and poverty increasing astronomically, the best thing to do is to turn to enforcers of democracy in another country?
And so our soldiers should go and die in another country because of the hypocrisy of Tinubu and his blind supporters, even when we had a terrible elections in the country where he's adjudged to have stolen the elections?

Some of you need to go back to primary school...Niger is a member of ECOWAS... before joining, a country must agree and accept the terms and conditions...which among them is that any member who go against the decisions of the body will be met with sanctions...the body has decided for democratic order to be restored..but Niger said no... Sanctions are rolling out and some illiterates are here shouting tinubu...when Niger was enjoying the benefits of ECOWAS none of you opened mouth...now the body is using his koboko on Niger...why complain ? Membership was not by force in the first place

heysquare:

How would you support it before when you people are known to be anti-Tinubu. You want every other tribes including international community to hate him all because you hates him

It is not a matter of tilumbu, ogbeni.
Nigeria is currently broke,the fight against bandits and boko haram has already drained enough of our resources both human, material and financial.
Imagine adding another drain to it?
A broke country like Nigeria shouldn't be doing things that won't benefit them materially, at least at this period.
This is my major reason.
2,the coup seems to have some level of acceptance by the citizens,why not allow them sort themselves out,or engage in long drawn negotiations with the junta first instead of jumping into a fight immediately?
Anyway, una no go ever see anything wrong cos you're already viewing it from the tribal prism.

BigYash:
If leaders were doing the right thing, things like this won't happen. Look at how Tinubu and his wicked government is treating Nigerians,as if they are not human beings currently.. They have all the resources to make Nigeria the best country in the world,but they will rather loot the resources for their personal use.. One idiot was blaming Buhari days ago ,for Tinubu's failure,as if its not the same APC . Fools!

Apc blamed PDP for their failure in 8years.. Now APC is blaming APC, for APC failure in Tinubu's "so called " government

Now ,Apc is not even concerned about how to make the country better for citizens, na war when no concern Tinubu he carry for head. I am not surprised.. What do you expect from an ex drug Baron and an election rigger ..

Tinubu is a master strategist ,
He transformed Lagos into what it is currently
Let's be patient and see how true those are

it is True tribes in the majority are not happy with the minority being president, this has been ongoing before the coup, tribalism is rife in Africa and the same thing is currently happening in Togo.

That the people are happy with military takeover is inconsequential in ecowas intervention, because if you can justify Russia"s invasion of Ukraine just because they don't want an enemy"s foothold in their neighboring countries why do you think ecowas countries shouldn't also bother about the juntas in their neighborhood.

I am against military intervention by ecowas, though it is not wrong but I feel we have too much problems in our hands than sponsoring wars. But if we were stable enough economically I would have supported military intervention.

And lastly, if you believe the Niger people are happy with the juntas and should be left alone, don't you think they should be also be happy enough to sustain themselves?
This is your neighbors saying, "we are not comfortable with your choice of military rule but since you want to have military rule over you and you are happy about it, no problem, I can no longer trade freely with you, I can no longer bear the risk of an open border with you.
There is nothing wrong here.

Watch out for Togo, if ecowas doesn't handle these incessant military takeovers in West Africa I see Togo going the same way soon,i mean very soon.

I have kept saying it, you don't keep doing the same thing (APC) and expect a different results. Secondly, APC can not do what APC could not do🤦

Better than waging a war

Because a message must be sent to all African militaries including Nigerias that dictatorship would not be accepted again in Africa. Africans are not monkeys like the whites used to call us because of our lack of organization. If a military man wants to rule us he should first retire and then contest for an election. Imagine if other countries had allowed Hitler's annexation of Poland to stand. By now, Hitler and his successors would have extended his empire to Africa. Evil thrives when good men remain silent.

@the bolded, if you understand the ECOWAS' treaty/functions you wouldn't be asking this. If Niger wasn't a member state, Tinubu and ECOWAS would have definitely allowed them to carry their cross.
