When a people fight for freedom, anyone not called "brother" is the enemy

Sultan of Sokoto and General Abdulsalam were sent in. They prefer to go to the stadium to insult Nigeria and display photoshop pictures of the Nigerian president..

As hunger they bite them now, they are already thinking hard on their actions. Where they expecting ECOWAS and the African Union to clap for them for toppling a democratically elected president?

The issue is: Niger was suffering right from the get go...
I was shocked to even recently discover that those guys are the number one exporters of Uranium to France. Yet, they remain as poor as ever.
They simply revolted because their Government was just fattening France, while the masses suffered... in such situations, if a coup did not even occur, then a revolution would have been around the corner regardless.

The first response Nigeria gave after the coup, were sanctions, an ultimatum and a military threat... How can you use extreme force on one hand and send General Abdulsalam on the other hand... is that how international relations works?

Especially in a situation when a people are literally struggling for colonial liberation.

President Tinubu and ECOWAS should bring them to their Knees. No soft landing for them. They should be made Scapegoat for others plotting and planning Coups in Countries across Africa. Pummel them with more Stricter Sanctions so they can have Sense.

I really dislike comments like this, it proves you have no idea of the state of things...

Lemme throw you a question, if the sanctions hit Niger as hard as you are illustrating, who get's hit, is it not the people of Niger?

and if the situation becomes unbearable in Niger the resulting humanitarian crisis will be handled by which country, is it not Nigeria that would have to deal with the refugee's from Niger?

just assuming there is an influx of 8 million people from Niger through the very porous northern borders, to add to the insecurity, and hardship currently in Nigeria... who will handle the situation? How many Nigerian families eat three square meals of late?

I will like to remind you that currently, Nigeria is in a very bad economic situation, and a humanitarian crisis from the North as a result of sanctions and military activity is something Nigeria should not even risk.

Infact to even let you know something vital, the people of Niger are actually struggling for their liberation from France... the same France that B.A.T is currently flirting with.

This is a situation that Nigeria should have immediately stepped in as a big brother and played high level diplomacy, using hausa elder statesmen and traditional rulers from the onset, not by using military threats and force.

War experiments at this time is something Nigeria can not afford on various levels

This B.A.T Gbajabiamila led administration is truly something...

Ikaeniyan0:
Nigerian soldiers are not dundee. A coup won't happen in Nigeria. Tinubu Gbajabiamila will rule till 2027 when he will recontest and win again.

Unfortunately Gbajabiamila won't be in power that long

MASTAkiLLAh:
I really don't blame or envy the president right now. Anyone seeing the bigger picture with the privileged information he has would most likely have done almost the same if not the same thing. Could it have been handled better ? Maybe but one thing we shouldn't forget is that there's big trouble at our northern doorsteps and we have to be ready to confront it

True, but it's quite obvious he isn't a strategic thinker. His hasty decision making so far clearly shows it.

I can point out many ways B.A.T has screwed up with how he handled this Niger matter, however like you said how can you blame him?

First of all his personal alliance with France has already made him totally distasteful to French speaking Africa as a whole (who are trying to rid themselves of France). But how can you blame a person who used dubious methods from having dubious connections?

B.A.T is a wrong person at the right place at the wrong time... but how do we blame him?

In Lagos

Ttalk:
Everyone is keying into the Tinubus government including Okonjo Iweala, an Amazon woman whom Peter Obi can't lace her shoe.

If Okonjo would accept Tinubu as the president of Nigeria, who is Peter Obi? The earlier Obi congratulate Tinubu the better for him.

The woman stated this in a recent interview; "this current administration has the potential to totally crash Nigeria's economy due to ill guided decisions"

She is trying to salvage the situation because she truly loves Nigeria, otherwise APC will damage Nigeria to a point of no redemption.

Show me a society that has high wayward tendencies and I will tell you about a society where the youth lacked father figures in the families

This is what you get when incompetence is in control

Two Questions;

1: Is the phone a second hand phone (or does anyone have your imei number)

2: Is the SIM card yours I.e registered under your name

Are you single? If yes, proceed to the next question

If the answer to the above question is yes, the follow up is Are you below thirty? If yes, proceed to the next question

Are you physically ok with doing blue collar jobs for a period of time?

If you answered YES to all three questions;
Then move along with the UK idea... go to the UK by all means.

If you answered no to any of the questions then please take the job for now. The experience from the job will build up to match other work residency/visa requirements if "japa" is on your mind.

at the end of the day it's on you...

Emeka has done it again!

Ayoola171:
Niger will feel the hit more. Make dem cage themselves inside their desert.

Allow them... they are struggling for their liberation from France, like most French speaking African countries.

At this time, Nigeria should have shown immense support for them in this struggle and even showed them diplomatic options to pull this off with a pledge to hand over to a democratic system, however B.A.T the "president" has made things worse, coupled with the fact that he is known to flirt with France and Macron... infact Nigeria is not even trusted at the moment.

If you follow current media reports, you would observe that most French speaking West African countries have rhetorically labelled Nigeria as the "Traitor".

Ikaeniyan0:
Tinubu is right

The Nigerian president argued his academic records should not be released because they fell under a 1974 privacy law for American students.

Tinubu is protected by the 1974 privacy law for students who schooled in the USA.

Chicago state university confirmed the president of Nigeria attended and graduated with distinction and he also presented his BSc to INEC as his highest qualification while obi presented a GCE result as his highest qualification.

B.A.T is the number 1 public official of Nigeria as a sitting president. So he automatically falls under one of the 12 statutory exemptions of the 1974 privacy act of 1974.

https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974#:~:text=The%20Privacy%20Act%20prohibits%20the,one%20of%20twelve%20statutory%20exceptions.

Look B.A.T will be exposed very soon, he can't keep this up for long.

Saifullah01:
I think the president was too hasty, this has really presented him in bad light in the African continent and especially the sub region.

He urgently needs his advisers and cabinet in place and under no circumstances should any foreign ambassador/ lobby/investor be left to have a one on one with the president without his kitchen cabinet.

We all no the president is no spring chicken any more less they sweet talk him into irrational decisions for their interest and and at the detriment of the president himself or the nation

Many decisions B.A.T has made of recent has shown he is not a critical thinker...

From "fuel Subsidy is gone!"
to Emefiele's arrest and now the military force threat to Niger without even properly analysing the situation... Nigerians are in for a loooooong ride

Tchai!
When Oparanozie missed I stopped watching

Hushpuppi will come back from serving his sentence and will easily run for either a reps or senate position.

England reminding the falcons they are still in this game

Jaybee3456:
Oh boy it's best not to got to penalties please we have the upper hand

At the moment I don't think there is a player who wants to take up the responsibility of scoring in open play

Even if this match enters penalties...

Chiamaka Nnadozie is in beast mode at the moment.
All her players need to do is score.

My best player so far in this game is Asleigh Plumptre

Half time in et 0-0

To be honest Oshoala is really dulling this game...
Alozie missing a nice chance

Goke7:
the English look more composed sef with 10

Brother football these days is about exploiting space...
It will be obvious that there is a player lacking for England when the game is spread out.

Regulation time finishes on 0-0

England have been handicapped

Lauren James red carded
