The first time I saw the coup in Niger republic, I laughed cos I knew it won't stand. It's just too risky to have Military junta in a country like Niger republic that has porus borders with Nigeria.

Nigeria isn't called "giant of Africa" for nothing.. largest gas reserves in the whole of Africa na beans?. We are like Russia of the African continent so no country in Europe will want to get into Nigeria's bad book, not even Russia.

The next thing for ECOWAS to do is to suspend Mali and Burkina Faso from Ecowas, they cease to be member nations of the West African bloc till they return to democratic government. AU too should take same steps to remove the juntas in both countries.

Wait o.. did I miss out something?
Didn't this guy lose election to Governor Sanwo Olu with margin of over 400k votes?.. It's like these EluuP guys are just looking for trouble and nothing more.

South West governors should take note.. If they can't use Innoson in the South East, then Yorubas in South West have no business using Innoson vehicles.
The days of eye service are over.. SW leaders should not bring calamity on our people through substandard vehicles o, people have families and loved ones and are breadwinners. don't go and risk their lives.

Where was he (Sowunmi) when Goodluck Jonathan in PDP that Yorubas supported massively, even did protests on his behalf sidelined Yorubas?.. Not a single Yoruba was in top 8 posotion in the country during his failed years as president. They were even replacing Yorubas in key agencies with Igbos till Buhari entered and chased all of them away, reason I never pitied them when Buhari denied them.of Customs top office to bring a former Military man from.North as CG of Customs.

Sowunmi should go to hell.. Yoruba lokan.

PBAT even tried sef.. Ministers from that side no suppose pass 3 cos they didn't work for the ruling party.

They won't touch Innoson motors, not even with a stick.. It's Toyota, Honda, BMW and likes they want to drive. The same people will be expecting other tribes to leave good things and be buying Innoson.

I'm yet to see any of their State governors in the SE patronize Nord motors owned by a yoruba man but Yorubas are busy patronizing Innoson motors in show of unnecessary support.

ChonchaLib:
Bazoum's situation is quite different. Bazoum didn't take power as a Diffa Arab. He did so under the cover of Issoufou's guardianship. Arab Nigeriens are weak in Nigerien politics. They dominate business quite alright, but have a tiny population (below 2% if not 1) and have for the most part not dominated any national institution.

Hausas enjoy a plurality but aren't as entrenched as the Songhay related Zarmas/Djermas who Issoufou tried to straitjacket to an extent. Zarmas have historically run the army and have developed an attachment to power.

At the protests last week ppl were chanting "we are finally free" in Zarma.

Bazoum's inability to manage his relationship with Issoufou and the ppl who Issoufou put there to see things landed him where he is today. Democracy in Africa isn't pure. And Bazoum himself knows this. He didn't earn that place and wasnt in a position to try to run his own show.

At this point, the deed has been done. Just like their removed the Kanuri/Fula/Arab (anything but Hausa or Zarmas) Mamadou Tandja in 2010,they did to Bazoum in 2023.

Tinubu on the other hand is from a major group and earned power in his own right.

Over major group sef.. YORUBA stand gidigba for ground. We conquered fear a long time ago so nobody fit do anyhow near us for this Nigeria.

I wish Bazoum regains his freedom and Niger republic returns to democracy.. It's for the benefit of everyone in West Africa, Africa and the whole world.

TOMMYS:
I also feel this is a set up. They feel Since Emilokan is to desperate he would take bait.

God abeg make nothing Happen to Tinubu o. That vice na vices

I don't think they will ever dare to attempt anything funny again with the turn of events now..

See likes of Asari already warning them in South South... South West is on lockdown by unseen forces. Na when e set those ones go show face, na then dem go know say faceless men yapa.

Who North go gum body with?.. IPOBs in South East fighting for Biafra?

Whatever evil plans they had or might have prepared has failed completely.. Reason we must liberate Niger republic from this unconstitutional take over of power by the coup plotters.

The guy is exerting force on the girl getting pounded na..some will be knacking people's daughters as if they are collecting trophy for best knacker.

No tact, no diplomacy.. bunch of rag tag soldiers claiming coup leaders in Niger republic.

United States na their mate?.. If President Biden wants Bazooum out today today, he'll be out from wherever they kept him. Illiterate Nigeriens too are cheering this stupidity, we go see who go suffer am.

POxBAT:
What kind of lie is this they didn't say they are going to another country at all.
They've been selling thier assets since 2021.
Looks like a countdown since then.
Stop misinformation please

Most times, their "leaving" means "relocating" to where power is readily available and somewhat affordable for them.. It is what it is and I don't blame them but our people and the bad leaders in Nigeria.

successmatters:
Peter Obi

Only Peter Obi

You mean Gringory abi na Gregory.. See as I dey laugh you

Essenza01:
And this is cool to you?.. how about the employment?

I didn't state anywhere that I'm cool with it.. or did I?

It's Nigerians like you and I that mismanaged funds meant to fix power in our dear country.. They are there walking free today with wealth from stolen money criticizing and condemning government as if they were better.

Who will save Nigeria from institutionalized corruption?

They are running to Ghana to setup factory there because of constant electricity they have there in Ghana (courtesy of Nigeria), whereas we in Nigeria don't have constant electricity.

@OP Don't fret, those products will still be in our markets just that they will no longer be manufactired here in Nigeria but in other African countries.

Rayban25:
youre just saying rubbish. and you think youre making sense because it sounds good on paper

Antidote? you think youre watching movie or what? do you know how long it takes to create both the virus and still test if their "antidote" will work? talkless of now being used by africans again?

Ogbeni shut up please. Even your agbado peers on this thread know youre not making any sense.

You're in the dark.. sadly I can't help you.
Go back to singing your Wagner praises and whatnot.. na where your own intellect end be that.

Whatever happened to durex or kiss.. you need to be careful not to buy fake.

Rayban25:
mumu that is not what i am saying. For what purpose would you even suggest biological warfare against niger?

You aren't smart if you don't know biological warfare is efficient once there are antidotes to reverse the effects than using guns..
I am.not advocating for the use of those deadly weapons so I won't engage you further.. The summary of my post is that the Niger coupists still think the world is in the stone age when guns and tanks are feared.

Rayban25:
what is this one saying?

Even if biological and chemical warfare was allowed in your own shallow mind you think that will still be the best option to use?
what is wrong with tinubu supporters sef?

You can't think outside the box.. that's one big problem with most of you.

What if the erstwhile colonizers they are fighting decide to unleash something terrible on them there?.. can Niger fight back? Do they have anything in Niger republic to fight biological warfare??

Use your number six ok? It won't hurt.

I pity those coup plotters honestly.. they don't know warfare has gone beyond physical show of force. If not for the conventions that prohibit use of chemical and biological weapons, Niger republic for know wetin hit them when scientists enter lab and re-engineer viruses and biological agents.

I hope the biafirans know where to head to, not Lagos this time around unless they want to turn lagoon dwellers.. before they'll carry their stubborn head and be marching towards Lagos.

TOMMYS:
If you say the North is Nursing a coup. To what end?. Person wey scatter country in the last eight years still wan arrange coup?.
They will still be selling to France and USA.

Or are you trying to say the Northern coup would have some Fula agenda religious undertone?

Fula agenda like you rightly said.. with their person as military leader in Nigeria, nobody will be able to challenge their takeover of lands for their herders.

I don't know maybe it's just my thinking, but I feel they had it all planned.. Coup in Niger republic and Nigeria to go together but our president was so smart not to fall into a trap, the man skipped all their already positioned men to appoint much credible officers as security chiefs.. All plans failed in Nigeria.
The other man in Niger republic; Bazooum (from a minority tribe there) wasn't wise enough to reshuffle those he trusts with security.. now see the outcome.

Juanmike:
Yoruba don't build houses they live in swamps and kpako houses so not to worry.

I don't trust LP and her supporters.. a committee must be setup to look into this.

The only reason to justify Northerners supporting Niger's coup is if they want to orchestrate coup in Nigeria as well.. I see no reason why they should consent to illegitimate take over of power in Niger republic if not that they are nursing same ambition in Nigeria.

PBAT should not allow the Northerners weigh down his spirit to avoid coup d'etat spreading over ECOWAS countries..

Leave the hypocrites in North that get headaches over Davido's songs but aren't perturbed over banditry, insurgency and kidnappings plaguing their region.

Are Igbos trying to demolish Yoruba and Hausa houses in Abia state?.

All well meaning Nigerians must rise up and probe this.

Real enemies of Nigeria I tell you.. they have no respect nor regard for anybody talkless of constituted authority.
I am starting to feel foreigners including Lebanese and even Indians are more loyal to Nigeria than so called Obidients, their actions and composure can't be compared to that of Obi supporters one bit.

We shall see their end.

The lady soldier was just overzealous or probably has mental issues.. part of Military training is to protect civilians and respect human rights.

RIP to the Army Captain.

Putin won't support Burkina Faso against West African countries.. so the hope of Niger republic coup plotters have been dashed.

Bokoharam was a creation of the Northern elites and political class who didn't want power to leave the North, didn't want to see other tribes in power plus they were hoping to use the insurgency to demand for amnesty from Nigeria's government.. All of them there know, forget the nonsense writeup.

I wouldn't want to believe it was deliberate sabotage on her part but still, apologies accepted.. Life goes on.

Those ladies are champs abeg..

@OP Use those POS agents, that way you'd be anonymous.. I'm considering same actually.

Of course I'm not fo0led... Niger republic has population of about 22 million people if I'm correct so the opinion of some rented crowd not up to a thousand people in number can't deter me, the over 20 million people deserve their right to democratic government.

Niger republic is going back to democractic rule no matter what it takes.
