EcoWAS is comprised of 15 member countries that do not include Chad and Cameroon.

Since Chad has already stated that they would not join EcoWAS in attacking Niger and Cameroon has not declared it support for EcoWAS.

We have seen how Boko Haram terrorists used Chad and Cameroon as safe havens with the blessing of France and Western globalist countries.


So if truly EcoWAS should attack Niger it needs to assume that the war should extend to all of Nigeria's neighbours who have not pledged to join the war. Which now means that EcoWAS would need to prosecute the war against 5 countries, namely Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
In fact unless I am mistaken, I believe Guinea has already openly declared allegiance to Niger so it means the war would need to be conducted against 6 countries when we include Guinea, remembering that in warfare it is good practice to assume your enemy's friend is also your enemy.

Yes, terrible idea!

The proposed attack on Niger is in itself a terrible idea and should be called off.

As I'm seeing this map, I'm just imagining Malian and Burkinabe planes and drones flying into Nigeria from the left to drop all kinds of bombs!

I hope the military have that area secured!

We need to put a stop to this stupid war, it starts it would be disasterous and if dams in Nigeria are bombed millions o lives may be lost and once the war starts japa routes would be few and dangerous and most may have to settle for IDP which would amount to nothing more than death camps where they may forcifully inject people with the deadly jab in the name of vaccines.

Now it isn’t too hard to understand why you & fellow ignoramuses are all suffering in Nigeria.

No be only might, na may be. An army that has not defeated ISWAP and Boko Haram that lack fighter jets, armoured tanks and rocket launchers want to defeat Niger/Mali and Burkina faso that is being supported by Russia

You need to include Benin Republic to the list oo

So many educated illiterates in Nigeria.

Is Nigeria and Niger have any personal issue for them to go to war?

Knockout. Your answer is Savage

Mossadd:
that's the question you should be asking your foolish Ojuyobo ebola president oponu

So we need to consider that we would be at with
Cameroon
Chad
Niger
Benin
Burkina Faso
Mali
and Guinea

Meaning the countries left in EcoWAS miltary coalition would number 10
Now if you consider that at least 3 of remaining EcoWAS members are so small or so economically weak that they can make no practical material contribution to any war effort; countries like The Gambia, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau,

It means EcoWAS to all intents and purposes are made of 7 countries going up against 7 other countries.
Of course the reality is that Nigeria would be going up against those 7 countries and the others 6 would be moral support.

For what?
Abeg, is that not madness?

I don't think there will be war. The idea has been defeated in Nigeria. And the Nigeriens has had enough time to prepare their defence.

If they haven't, they will use the period of 'negotiation' with ECOWAS to continue such defensive preparation. Niamey is quite close to Burkina Faso, so it's understandable the the Burkinababe will not want such war on their backyard, and it it will also be easy for them to mobilize troops in support of Niger.

As a matter of geography, it will be easier for the Burkina re-enforcement to reach Niamey, before the ECOWAS offensive force will get there. Even the Malian will get to Naimey before the Nigeria soldiers.


If ECOWAS, nay, Nigeria embark on this journey, it will be bloody, and messy, but ECOWAS will triumph, and sack the junta. Then then real war will begin.

Pure breed

The way I am seeing this now is like this;

What if this is France way to set a trap for Nigeria?

When it comes to experience and battle readiness, the Nigeria soldiers can rely on their experience fighting Boko Haram in the North, of course one cannnot allude any millitary experience to shooting unarmed civilians in the South East.

On the part of the opposition, the Nigerien have had successes and meaningful experience with battling insurgent groups. Same can be said of the Malians and lately Burkina Faso. None of these countries have been involved in any recent major war that they can draw experience from.

So I think on a tactical ground, both Nigeria, Mali, Niger, and Burkina seems to be at par. So troop size, equipment, and desire will be a driving factor. If the Nigerien population sees ECOWAS as an occupying force, a message that the junta will be aggressively promoting, then ECOWAS in in for a long ride.

My suggestion: ABORT!

France is draining Nigerien resources at an alarming rate with little benefit to this poor third world country. And are not willing to renegotiate fair price with the junta. There is no major trap here for Nigeria, except perhap blackmail of the president. As it stand, Nigeria resources, especially from southern Nigeria is also being drained at the similar rate, again with little benefit to the southern part of Nigeria. The French authority working with the British and to some extent American can simple cajole Nigeria to assist them in this venture - return control of Niger to France, and they will in turn ensure that the Nigeria ruling elite continue their straggle hold on the country resources while they look the other way.

Rub my back, I allow you to loot, and keep you in power. It's a sweet deal, only this time, the Nigeria population is savvy and Tinubu does not have popular support. So it's dicey for him.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the more he dithers, the harder the invasion becomes.

This is precisely the issue, probably we can swiftly dominate the war zone and even may restore the ousted president, then the problem beins of being bogged down in an insurgency situation that keeps us there for years haemoraging resources including our soldiers lives in a slow drip drip manner over many years.

Or we get there and find the whole thing was a set up to draw us into a war with rance -backed military juntas and the war is taken back to Nigerias territory and huge amounts , like many millions of civilian lives are lost from France bombing straegic dams that can cost millions of lives.

Restore the ousted president? How so? What stops them from shooting him in the middle of war as a 'saboteur'? If the ousted president is in exile, then you can think of restoring him. The president is in the hands of the junta. They'll just point a gun at his head and and ask the ECOWAS soldiers to back off. If the mission is to restore democracy, then that's a different task, but to restore this particular president to power, I struggle to fathom how that is possible.

In actual fighting, it would be foolish on the part of the Nigeriens to fight Nigeria headon, so I think they will prepare their defences first, and when breached resort to guerilla tactics until support from their allies. As long as they can keep Nigeria from retrieving the president from them them, they can keep the fight going. And they have willing citizens on their side.

France is not bombing any dam, the dam in on our side.

Can you educate us since you no more army general can you enlighten us how is Nigeria's defence Armament is capable of destroying a flight flight coming through the country looking at the experience of boko Haram in kaduna in Abuja taraba e t c.
can you tell us how defensive we are based on the experience of the attack of the Nigerian defence Academy army barracks in kaduna.

Na laff I just dey. We know how many times Boko Haram has overrun different military bases in different parts of the country and they are claiming champions. If Boko Haram can gather enough intelligence to overrun a military Base, is it when we are fighting Russia that they will not do same?

I have a feeling (or rather fear) that there would be a war and the real hidden objective is to target Nigeria. I believe this whole crisis may planned and scripted by France and globalists and all key players (including Tinubu and the Niger Junta) are playing out their script, only that they may not all know the full script or the real agenda.

I believe or fear a possible objective of France is massive depopulation of Nigeria. Either way there is no good intention for Nigeria we need to mobilize get on the streets and stop this agenda.

The thing is France and globalists are the major funders of terrorists in Nigeria and and use our immediate francophone neighbours as sanctuaries where they can hide and re-group when our military are on the offensive.

We must not allow Tinubu drag us into any trap laid for Nigeria.

We must get on the streets and make it clear that this proposed military action is a disaster and we are not allowing it.

The problem with people like you is you lie lie lie make up conspiracy theories and think there won’t be consequences from it. God forbid people like you running anything. Show me proof of anything you are saying here? You won’t and you don’t see a problem with lying so effortlessly

The Ecowas sef wey dey busy dey make noise up and down ontop another country problem, has not remembered to go to their home page and change the picture of the Chairman to that of our thieving drug lord.
