It's a good step. Form a strong bond against western imperialism.

rebirthkennedy:
Their confederation will be stronger & more formidable than that of ECOWAS
Believe this

Yes bro I believe this. Ecowas are just west puppet. This new block will have their own currency, do business freely that favor their interest more. They should go ahead.

Mynd44:
And they will still have to use ECOWAS ports, fly through Ecowas countries, depend on ecowas for every aspect of their economy including electricity and education.

Must be nice to live in such grand delusion

Lol, Morocco and Algeria already reach out to do all this for this new block. They should go ahead.

You don't understand the situation

Which country will reject free money?

Will Nigeria reject the chance to earn money off shipping Niger's uranium to it's eventual destination?

I don't think so. The smart thing to do would be to increase the fee levied at the port.

We need as much revenue as possible.

They warned Nigeria last week not to fly non commercial aircraft over their country. I thought Emilokan propaganda machine would have used their stale and now weak line of blaming igbos for the woe but surprisingly he kept quiet…imagine ordinary Niger now warning Nigeria. They also stopped using Nigerian ports and have now signed agreement with Benin to use their port…smh

Na you carry igbo matter enter topic wey nobody dey talk about igbo.
Wetin dey work you?

A coastal country might join them.

God1000:
I knew this would eventually happen, this is the result of ECOWAS failure to remove them

But I wonder how these landlocked countries will survive on their own without the rest of the regional block, some of them still depend heavily on their neighbors for so many things


By helping your neighbor, you are also helping yourself.

A stable Niger republic and ECOWAS will definitely benefit Nigeria

Is Nigeria itself stable or because of our level of education, civilization and orientation that is making Nigerians to exercise restraint

Let them.

Way to go, it's the best so they can be free to do as they wish.

azzima:
Military fools riding on NATIONALISM!!!

This gra gra will further push them towards Hunger.

History has taught us that African Military men know NOTHING about managing a Country.

No ideas but Guns!

You can say that again.I wonder how they intend to adequately cope,all three being landlocked countries.

They are sovereign countries and will figure it out on their own. They no longer want to depend on their neighbors and that's why they violated the rules and will live by their decision.

Earthquakes:
They know what they want
A day will come when just this few countries will be more respected than ecowas

Nonsense.... Without seaport you are good as useless.... Look at the Europeans without port they are technology advanced or the financial capital with tourism.... Something these military idioooots don't have

Nice one
They should move away from this our rotten ECOWAS

goodluck to them!they can even have a joint military force for the three countries!a case of the blind leading the equally blind!!

You will not really blame people for that type of reaction. The blacks have a problem of fathoming the possibility of bravery of their kind. They may not have issues with a UK leaving EU, but can't just live with the reality of equal aggression of their kind.

Can u see how hatred is making u incoherent..soon it will turn u to market place dey cap shiiii

Belial06:


Why not wait and see? Stop assuming. These children sef

Your last statement depicts exactly who you probably are....A child.

You can read about the high hopes of landlocked Mauritania pulling out of ECOWAS, banking on Isreal...just as these military juntas are banking on Russia now..and see why they have to run back to ECOWAS signing a treaty in 2017.

Countries that are landlocked cannot be flexing muscles around countries that have essential infrastructures required for trade liberalisation.

A confederation that will not last abi no be africa we dey one go soon complain of marginalization one go soon think na him supposed dey table always naso everything go scatter not even for a landlocked areas forming big

Their currency will be worse than Naira almost immediately.

Morocco that wants to join ECOWAS?

Funny

It is all business. As part of ECOWAS, the amount they pay is reduced. Now, they will be billed as non-ECOWAS countries

You can't give what you do not have
Are you talking about the Epilepsy Electricity or the higher numbers of unemployment rate
Tell me what is sufficient enough in Nigeria or Ecowas at large
It been months they withdrew as a member of Ecowas
Yet they ain't as hungry as Ekiti pple

Have you been to Niger?

No sense in that. The 3 are land-locked countries and still their neighbour's borders.

RepoMan007:
no big deal.

Tinubu may be an Asshole, and leader of ECOWAS, the idea of leaving ECOWAS is what i dont buy, and for the record, its a big deal.

Dat Burkina Faso guy just dey form Hulk upandan.

The way he dey carry himself you go think say bullet nor fit fall am.
