[color=royalblue]If this coup stands, Nigeria is gone, especially the NW.

I really hope Tinubu listens to the majority here and put sanctions and all the solutions offered here.

But shit must hit the fan, if that coup stands[/color]

raumdeuter:
What should America do in such scenario?
Every democracy has a constitutional way of resolving issues and removing leaders

What you are ignoring is that Niger like most African nations are multi ethnic. What do you think the president ethnic people will be doing now that their constitutionally elected president was removed in a coup and replaced by someone from another tribe? This scenario has led to more civil war than anything in Africa think January 1966 Nigeria

[color=royalblue]They will not do anything.

They will diplomatically be begging him to give them back[/color]

Amigoss:
So if ECOWAS invade Niger and war breaks out,they wouldn't still flood Nigeria?

[color=royalblue]ECOWAS is simply following the rule of law.

Someone won a democratically elected election. Let him finish his rule. Simple.

ECOWAS is removing the agbero that wants to usurp power by force.

The guy never even start, e don begin ban[/color]

A40:
Keep asking me okrimo questions there you hear.

[color=royalblue]Thank you for the list.

Truly, they should be sanctioned[/color]

A40:
All the shoemakers and maiguard back home you see everywhere. Where do you think they're from?

Don't make me laugh please. There's never been a time millions of Nigeriens have not flooded Nigeria

[color=royalblue]I am just waiting for the list of sanctions.[/color]

A40:
Why should I list them? Don't you know what sanctions mean? What has US and EU being doing with Russia.

You rather we invade a sovereign country abi wetin be your alternative

[color=royalblue]I am sorry, but, you don't want to list a solution you are proferring?

I don't want to believe that you don't know any of the sanctions you have been typing since[/color]

[color=royalblue]Let someone be bold enough to list the sanctions that would make a coupist relinquish back power to a democratically elected government.

And also, would not make millions of Nigeriens flood our country[/color]

A40:
Of which nobody has said Tinubu should do absolutely nothing. We are saying military invasion should not even be an option. How hard is this to understand

Sanction and do whatever you want but don't use scarce resources to fight war wey no concern us. Na coup happen no be say them invade another country. I'm pretty sure if a coup happened in Nigeria you wouldn't appreciate other countries suggesting they invade your country

[color=royalblue]List the sanctions that should be imposed on Niger Republic.

Let us not be typing Sanctions ordinarily.

List the sanctions, sir[/color]

larride:
Make we cross leg dey observe.

[color=royalblue]Yes oh[/color]

larride:
Ecowas has intervened in Mali, Bukina Faso and Guinea but they should allow Niger that we share our longest border with to do whatever they want.

Lol.

[color=royalblue]Yes, please.

Let Ecowas let them be![/color]

[color=royalblue]Nigeria should not do anything abeg.

To all who i have offended by supporting armed intervention, find a space in your heart to forgive me.

ECOWAS is useless, Tinubu is not bright, and God bless Russia.[/color]

Unlimited22:
Your English is definitely bad

Because all we've been against here is armed intervention because of the effects on Nigeria.


Omo when it comes to Nigeria vs Niger I know whom I'm picking abeg

[color=royalblue]Yeah, Yeah...You are right.

Hopefully i collect my fees from my secondary school teacher.

If this one isn't enough, I'll bring another. I suck at digging[/color]

Amigoss:
God bless Russia,Bleep the west and the natural resources looting bastards disguised as aids.

Niger and Malians have seen the light

[color=royalblue]You have a sister who is a 4th wife to a man with 20 children

Suddenly, they want to separate.

You know if they separate, you will start paying unnecessary school fees and house rent. So you do your best to make sure he stays with her in his marriage

That is what Nigeria will avoid if this coup fails.

Unlimited22:
You do know no one here is supporting the coup àbí ?

[color=royalblue]But his people love him so he should be allowed to topple a democratically elected government.

I have been reading that here this morning.

If that isn't supporting a coup, my english must be bad[/color]

larride:
Someone that the majority citizens support but his banning social media.

[color=royalblue]Nigerians na very funny people

When this guy starts, and Nigeriens start pouring into our country, also giving birth to different terror groups, the same Nigerians will come back and lament on why Tinubu is not doing anything.

Someone is loved by his people, but he is banning social media, yet we cannot see the clear sign that this guy should not even be the Class captain of an SS3 class.

Make Tinubu comot hand sef. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Make una share link o, dem don chop the link I been dey use watch am

[color=royalblue]No link anywhere.

I don tire[/color]

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao..
So when they want to retaliate, they will look at it as ECOWAS?
Incase you are forgetting there are 3 states that border Niger. Meaning the fall out from this ECOWAS invasion will definitely spread into Nigeria.

Also being a part of ECOWAS hasn't done anything coz the gbege Don already sup like this.

I prefer us taking this slow and cripple them economically while holding talks with them.
We are not ready for the blow back at all

[color=royalblue]So if we cripple the economy, would that make him hand over power to the elected president?

Someone's showing total disregard for a nation's constitution, and we are suggesting crippling of economy.

Crippling the economy would not do anything to him. His people automatically turn to refugees and flee to neighbouring countries.

How you guys are ignoring past experiences is funny.

Coup no be new thing for Africa. This would still be the same thing.[/color]

liveLongNprospa:
You want us to invade a sovereign country with the military backing if the wagna group?
Lol..
Doesn't that tell you that this is about to become a war.
Why are you so confident that our intervention will end it?

[color=royalblue]We are not invading it as Nigeria. We are invading it as ECOWAS

The last time i checked, Niger Republic was part of ECOWAS, and one of the commitments of the Community to its member countries is to uphold their constitutional laws and promote and instill peace

If we stop Mr Coupist from pulling this stunt, we would guide them into their next election in 2025, and then Mr Coupist can contest and win easily (shebi his people love him well well? )

But if this guy gets his wish, be ready for another coup before 2024 ends

And oh, they can kiss electing their leaders and democracies goodbye[/color]

Unlimited22:
You're too late already.

[color=royalblue]Better late than never [/color]

liveLongNprospa:
Izzou lool.. Both options have serious demerits but which one buys us more time to sort out our affairs to defend our interests?

[color=royalblue]End that nonsense coup before it starts.

If majority of the population support him, he should become president democratically

That is not too much to ask.[/color]

Unlimited22:
The major issue here is that the coupists have the support of the citizens. Harsh sanctions can turn that tide, and only then can armed intervention be considered.


We can take that risk if we beef up our border security.

But armed conflict, that risk is greater.

[color=royalblue]Do you have proof that majority of the citizens support him?

Because I am yet to see that
[/color]

[color=royalblue]Person never begin rule, e don ban Social Media.

Na this kind person ECOWAS wan dialogue with?

Fundamental human rights no fit dey him dictionary

[/color]

Unlimited22:
Hard diplomacy. Economic pressure etc etc


Anything but armed intervention.


Na we go bear the brunt. In more ways than one.

[color=royalblue]When you put economic pressure on the newly Coup government, you have just signed an unwritten agreement to let refugees invade your country

The exact same thing we want to avoid.

Hope you know that?[/color]

Unlimited22:
Omo, armed intervention will not be a good look ọ.
Pound for pound, if the Nigerian military alone marchés on Niger We will be IN Niamey in 12 hours.


But there are too many things to consider.

First, the Civilian population seems to support them.
Second, we'll be dragged into a proxy war against more powerful nations.
Third, the impact war will have on our northernmost states.


Abeg, armed intervention is a no no abeg.



Where were all these calls when Cameroon were killing their anglophone population? When other coups in Burkina Faso, Mali etc were launched? No abeg o

[color=royalblue]So,what do you suggest for ECOWAS?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
So u support ECOWAS going heads-on with Russia-backed coupists ? It will only end in disaster for all concerned except RUSSIA and the US who will be financing the proxy war.

We have a lot to lose if violence erupts in Niger because ECOWAS wants to stamp its feet on a sovereign nation’s internal issues.

[color=royalblue]If that guy overthrows the president, VIOLENCE must erupt.

I'll take my chance with the one with a higher probability for peace[/color]

Unlimited22:
Are you advocating for armed intervention?

Please take this as an honest question, not an attempt to cast aspersions.

[color=royalblue]If the dialogue won't work, please let there be armed intervention

My only fear is that our armed forces are overstretched.

I am sure the Nigeriens have a place for impeaching their president. Let that crowd go back and activate that clause through their lawmakers. Impeach him and then vote in the current coupist democratically.

Usurping power by force will give room for more. I have seen this movie many times[/color]

Conner44:
Guy small small with these types of shades

My hand e no dey oh. Abeg

[color=royalblue]It is understandable if you advise the person to learn skills to survive.

But blaming them for something the have no control over? Habaa![/color]

BlueRayDick:
Personally I think ECOWAS need to intervene in the Niger issue , but the kind of intervention needed is what needs to be critically examined .

Nigeria and the rest of ECOWAS should not go into Niger gun-blazing with reports emerging that Russia’s Wagner group is backing the coupists. The Wagner group is capable of arming the coupists to repel any military intervention by ECOWAS and the USA . We might have a situation where the Niger crisis may be a continuation of the US-RUSSIA proxy war. Just like everyone had noted , any civil war in Niger will hit us hard security-wise.

Going by videos of Nigeriens jubilating following the capture of power by the coupists, it appears majority of the people are tired of the government of the ousted president .

I believe ECOWAS should dialogue with the coupists probably have them agree to form an Interim national government to fill the gap before the country’s next election where a new president will be elected . A military solution may not be in our best interest in Naija

[color=royalblue]Then what happens when another coupists overthrow this present ones?

These things are not new to Africa. From one coup, it starts to increase.

If ECOWAS does not stop this one now, forget it oh. It is over[/color]

Conner44:
That was why I made that prior comment to you. It’s very glaring that we are currently experiencing a dearth of innovative thinking among our educated numbers of citizens in this country.

[color=royalblue]Someone has a Master's in a particular field. We talking about 6 years of knowledge depth on a course.

Now, the person has no environment to impact with that knowledge. Instead of empathising with the person, you are blaming her to go and learn skills.

So, to an average Nigerian, a 30 minutes video on Canva design on YouTube, is more valuable than 6 years of studying Psychology.

Jesus should come soon: That's all i can say [/color]

donbrowser:
Schools will employ a digital marketer ahead of an educational psychologist in Nigeria

Hospitals will employ a digital marketer ahead of an educational psychologist in Nigeria

If you still don't get it, I can't help you

Emphasis: In Nigeria

[color=royalblue]That is why i want you to tell us to scrap the course naa.

Or are you scared of owning the opinion?

The course is useless. NUC should Shift + Del from our curriculum[/color]

Conner44:
What is psychology when there is carpentry, tailoring, welding, hairdressing etc etc according to some people here

lol, see them saying ‘go and learn skills’ as if it’s by mouth. Just ten short paragraphs of information that I posted here yesterday and more than half of them couldn’t read past the first three paragraphs yet they are telling you to go and carry a book of at least five hundred pages and ‘read to cram’ in order to learn a useful skill.

Nigeria and its present condition/situation is a direct mirror of our immediate society and its inhabitants. When Nigerians are ready to do good by each other is the only time we will begin to collectively witness progress.

[color=royalblue]I know this guy personally. He has a degree in Electrical engineering.

He went to UK for Masters. Invented a low cost battery blah blah blah and he won an Innovation prize.

If he was here, we would have advised him to learn employable skills; either how to install solar panels, or Facebook Ads.

The same person that is not employable because of Educational psychology, take her abroad, she would achieve great strides, and the ones with employable skills would be hyping her on social media

Nigeria? Very funny place [/color]
