It’s really interesting to see all these ignorant Nigerians on Twitter and on here talking about how Nigerian army will defeat Niger within hours. I don’t even think these people studied geography in school because if they did - they won’t make such a ludicrous statement. Niger is bigger than Nigeria. And Nigeria, a country struggling to contain ragtag Islamists, bandits and separatists shouldn’t be interfering in other countries. Heck, Nigeria struggled in a very small country like Sierra Leone and it took the intervention of British forces (they had to intervene 3 times) to bring normalcy to that country. Niger coupists have the support of the Wagner forces in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea. And Algeria has also joined the fray with support for the coupists. Nigeria needs to stay out of it. Tinubu, don’t be a western puppet - buy time and use diplomacy. Nigerian army would absolutely get wrecked and disgraced in Niger. Even the French would get wrecked if Algeria is fully committed to supporting the coupists. Stay out of it! 3 Likes

BOYS2MEN:yes of course. You need to understand that our freedom did not go willingly and that's why till today we are experiencing neo-colonialism. France still have strong hold on the French African countries and they do not want to let go. Many African nations are beginning to wake from the imperialism of the western nation. We have seen coup arriving from guinea, Mali, burkina faso and Niger, it is no more business as usual as we are also seeing some French African nations expelling French troops out of Africa. We have also seen some French African countries wanting to change their constitution so that there can be a third term in office. We have seen countries like Senegal (President Macky Sall) who tried to do this but the citizen protested against it, alpha Conde of Guinea who wanted a third term in office was remove by a coup. we have seen countries like Cote d'Voire where Alassane watara changing their constitution for a president to be in seat for up to 3rd term. Idris derby of chad, Paul Biya of cameroon and so many others... All this is because these men are puppets of the west and they have their backing from their colonial master such as France. I really hope to see a day where many African nations can look within herself and believe in its citizens and to think as a union because if we all think solo, how can a little country such as Burundi or Chad compete with France or other western nation. 2 Likes |

hammerT: My own problem with this is that scarce resources will be used to prosecute war for the US. As for the fighting itself, it's the poor people from every tribe, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani etc that will be used as cannon fodders, especially if the Russians decide to move quickly into the war. They already have Wagner on ground so it easier for them to get to their people into position than the US. The US will rely on ECOMOG while the Russians will use Wagner. ECOMOG will need training before joining the battle, while the Wagner are already battle ready. If the war last 2 weeks, Nigeria will be in trouble. A decisive victory, a knock-out blow within a week will work to Nigeria's advantage, beyond a week, doom will come. This I have seen. |

PointB: NIGERIA IS TOO DIVIDED TO FIGHT NIGER. ONCE WAGNER ARRIVE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY ENTERED THE COUNTRY FROM BUKINA FASO, SORRY IS TINUBU NAME. ANY WAR IN NIGER, ALL THE MILITIA IN NIGERIA WILL ESCALATE ATTACKS. |

Heroicvic: I dont know how old you are but the military isnt the cure for poverty and corruption, it has never bn and will never be. Infact nothing is as fulfilling as the power to remove a leader or party u dont like, every four years. Perhaps you are a Peter Obi supporter and being emotional but guess what, under military regime, Peter Obi wont even be able to gather any political momentum, both the good, bad, ugly will be in exile or quietly face their business.... The bad part of it is that their wont be an end date, it will be from one coup to another, while the developed countries use the coups to put whoever they want in power and summarily kill off those they dont want. Most of Nigeria's woes are still traceable to military regimes which we had to endure from 1966 to 1999 with only 4 years of delicate democracy in between Democracy is still the best form of govt and should be supported even if flawed |

DoxxAnon: A coup plotter doesnt need the vote of over 80 million Nigerians to get power, A coup plotter doesnt need to go round the country to campaign, plead, promise, massage ego and consult. A coup plotter only needs his friends in the military and selfish foreign powers, to thrive. And you wont even be able to protest or talk about your sufferings. Guess none of you were alive during the IBB/ Abacha regime. Democracy, even if flawed, is still the best |

Buhari said niger would defend him if people with power in abuja decide to fight him. Hence: Who knows there might be international conspiracy to drag nigeria into a meaningless war. Tinubu should use his sense. They want to destroy his effort to rebuild nigeria. They want to distract him. |
