If Russia is interested in Niger, there would be hell.Burkina faso, congo and mali all have hands of Russia in their affairs. I learnt Niger is an important source of uranium for france. Civil war in our border with niger is the last thing we want.
From the video, Russia is already in Niger.

Indeed. Ecowas must get the
Niger coup plotters out after linking up with Russia, U.S.A and France.

ECOWAS should exploit all peaceful and diplomatic means, the use of maximum force will only result in casualties suffered mostly by the people they are trying to defend. With th look of things it seems the electorate of Niger are with the Junta.

na dem go suffer am - now that there is no fly zone, any plane from Nigeria going to Europe flying over Niger can be shot down too by the

Nigerien army - be careful what you wish for grin

so if a plane is flying from Aminu Kano International Airport to Rome - which should be a straight journey over Niger / Algeria and the Rome. . the plane will have to detour and go fly over Burkina Faso and Mali --- If those military junta there decide to team up with their military comrades in Niger - o ti lo - it haff finish - they will not have to fly over Chad and Sudan which is extra "isrealite" journey ---- na air ticket fee go increase - masses will suffer grin
How old are you? 12?

No country in Africa have the capacity to detect a plane over 32,000 mile, let alone bring it down.

And Niger Republic is so minute in the scope of Africa map that nobody needs to pass through it borders to get anywhere.

They have zero capability for any kind of military power.

Their Total military personnel is 13,000 including paramilitaries and all. This is lower than Nigeria Navy personnel alone, Nigeria paramilitary is over 80,000.

They are what we call inconsequential.

Don't mind that novi ce saying what he don't know.

I'm sure those involved would have calculated their steps before putting them in action. They must have read what the reactions and subsequent actions of ECOWAS would be when they carry out the co up and the way out of it.

All these people ran ting here don't know jack.

If tinubu fail to go to war in Niger republic ASAP, he should be ready to pack his bag out of aso rock.





The coup plotters in Niger republic wants to use the opportunity of a non military president in Nigeria to take power by force in Niger republic especially now that Nigeria government is new to office.

Niger will see shege...

Tinubu would use Economic warfare to force them to surrender

Niger is Landlocked... No seaport
A no fly zone means nothing goes in or out

Let's give them a week when hunger bites hard, and they run out of basic supplies especially petroleum products.. they would run to Abuja to discuss as they always do

The Almighty Russians are backing the military junta. They will survive with or without the useless ECOWAS. Where was ECOWAS when other countries the region experienced military coups?
Toothless bulldogs can only bark but cannot bite. Coupled with the illegitimacy of the Tinubu's administration. The pressure of crisis at home because of the removal of subsidy visa viz the high cost of living. Nigeria better be careful, the WAGNER GROUP aren't far away

Don't be ignorant. Libya borders Niger in the North. Mali, another military led country to the west. So how will ecowas blockade which is majorly to the south be effective?
Niger is not "landlocked" like you think. They have a lot of friendly neighbours outside Ecowas.
How effective was Ecowas sanctions on Mali?
Exactly.

US military base is close to Niger Uranium ore site and I doubt US would let anyone get close

Russia and China are simply picking up Lithium ore sites, Uranium ore sites, and other strategic future energy source without making it obvious
US military base will not stop Russia if they decide to go

Niger republic should call Nigeria bluff , Nigeria is presently in worse state with uncontrollably inflation. They should use other flight routes and also impose a no fly zone over its territory by Nigeria.

There is nothing the Nigeria military can go in a battle field besides starvation, blockade and sabotage of farm land . Rally other francophone countries to your side
you're stating all this against your country..... WOW 😲. E go be soon

Here you are openly calling for coup plotters in a foreign country to act against Nigeria's interests, after you've been pretending for several weeks now to be "patriotically" fighting for Peter Obi's supposedly "stolen mandate". It's good to see you so clearly expose yourself for what any thinking person would already recognise you to be, a "fair weather patriot" who is only waving the flag to advance a tribal power-grab: illegal seizures of power obviously don't bother you, only that they might thwart your selfish tribalistic agenda.

as far as I know Abacha only killed corrupt politicians like MKO Abiola and saro wiwa. As for economy please do your research- abach brought down inflation from 27% under IBB to 8% despite numerous economic sanctions. Abacha also put the Sultan of sokotonin his place by raiding his Palace and sending him on exile. Abacha is no Saint but he is way better than the politicians we have now.

Niger borders Mall (under military junta), Algeria (Non ECOWAS state) and Libya(Another Non ECOWAS state and a war zone) How do you think this will affect them? Is BAT sending Nigerian Armies to go and die for PMB?

There nothing illegal about it. African politicians need the army to check them since they(politicians) are all corrupt. If Nigeria politicians were afraid of the army our country and economy would be way better. Nigeria and Ecowas should not interfer with another country's sovereignty. period. Sudan is currently at war. we can send soldiers there or to Somalia since those one ship terrorists to our shores.

Wow, it's breathtaking to see such astonishing ignorance on display. How much do you think it costs to transport a ton of cargo by sea compared to going overland, especially where there are no reliable rail links, and where's there's also a pesky little obstacle called the Sahara Desert to worry about?

I won't even get started on how you have been so busy agitating for your kinsman's "mandate" to rule a Nigeria you so clearly hate ...
