OmoGomesIlorin: Please for the rest of the argument on Niger Coup, remove hope in Russia, it is not going to help them. Russia won't want to sabotage its relationship with Nigeria. Just last month Dmitry Shugaev, director of Russia’s FSVTS announce to the world that Nigeria express interest in Su-75 stealth fighter jet. out of all the countries that expressed interest in Nigeria and three others were publicly announced while others identify were not revealed.

And don't tell me expression of interest does not mean buying, Nigeria did same with Pakistani JF-17 thunder and end up buying 3 and future prospect of buying more in tens.
Russia have nothing to do with hope but a real military alliance between the two countries . While on a trip to Mali, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov signed a deal for more military support for the Malian military junta.
mysticwarrior: without Guinea they are landlocked and Nigerian navy could easily block they Guinean water ways. Even if Russia delivers weapons to Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger they still cannot wage war with the rest of the west African countries.
They do not intend to wage war with the rest of the west African countries, they will simply defend themselves against a foreign invasion
mysticwarrior: Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger does not have the financial capability and military efficieny to wage war against Nigeria and Ecomog at large. If Ecomog use military actions against Niger mali and Burkina Faso would withdraw and hid inside their shell. The three countries are landlocked which means they do not even have access to the sea, with tight blockade in the cause of war they would all be stranded and suffocated.
The three countries are Not landlocked because they are allied with Guinea's military junta an Guinea is a country bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean with a container port. Now you can see regularly Russian cargo planes landing in the capital, Bamako in mali, delivering weapons and ammunition from Russia
Atleast 15 members country organization declared a military exercise, yet you single out Tinubu
.
When jihadists massacred thousands of civilians, ECOWAS was nowhere to be found, but as soon as Western political and economic interests are threatened ECOWAS miraculously appear. The hypocrisy have to stop; We all known that ECOWAS is a Trojan horse of NATO in Africa
fineboynl: How to loot billions in disguise of niger war is what is hungry tinubu and also to be in the good book of western country.
American and france will never fight a war they will not gain anything. After they finished fighting they start controlling the new government and loot their resources.
The question is what is the interest of Nigeria to niger?
SSFeedsNigeria: When I see ignorant agbado fools supporting Ebola to his suicide, I will just leave. One Yoruba guy even compared Niger with Sao Tome and Principe. Some also mention Gambia. Lol, what they don't know is that Niger is a very large desert country, with over 1 million square miles! All they need to do is concentrate their tanks around Niamey then strategically place surface-to-air missiles in equidistant positions facing South. Place landmines on the roads leading towards the capital. Place snippers around villages and settlements and using human shield for cover. With fly zone in place means they can easily shoot down any plane that flies into their airspace.
The only way ECOWAS/Nigeria can win this war is to rout Nigerien army within days, but that too would be extremely difficult given the above scenario. Again, once the war drags on, small/poor ECOWAS countries will start withdrawing. Pressure will mount on Ebola as the cost begin to weigh down on Nigeria. At the end there would be a stalemate and return to negotiation.
This is the picture of the Most Wanted man in Niger. If you see him contact the Niger Armed Forces. A $10 million reward is being offered for information leading to the identification or location of this Warmonger
yemex04: Very funny how so many people have made this a war between Nigeria & Niger..even if Nigeria is the most powerful of the ECOWAS States but still we need to remember ourselves that war or no war this clearly between the ECOWAS & NIGER's military junta.
Did you forget Mali's military junta and Burkina Faso's military junta. .....Add also Wagner
RaptorX: A lot of the flights coming from Europe to Nigeria and countries further south like South Africa go over Niger. I checked flightradar 24 last night after hearing the news and all the European airlines coming to and fro Lagos and Abuja were routed via Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali avoiding Niger airspace. Even saw a British Airways flight coming from South Africa to London made a u turn very close to Niger and headed back to South Africa.
They should avoid approching Niger airspace at all cost. Niger military threatened to shoot down any aircraft entering their airspace
Niger is threatening to actively shoot down reconnaissance aircraft entering their airspace
Niger’s military rulers announced Sunday that they had closed the country’s airspace, warning that any attempt to violate it would meet with an “energetic and immediate response.
Niger Millitary closes air space citing ‘threat of intervention’
Niger’s military rulers announced Sunday that they had closed the country’s airspace, warning that any attempt to violate it would meet with an “energetic and immediate response.” Niger is threatening to actively shoot down reconnaissance aircraft entering their airspace.
Can you now imagine the reaction of your opinion?, brandishing the threat of military intervention and then deflate like a balloon This is what happen when you have a Senile Cocaine Addict as President
