Racoon:
This matter is really escalating now. It means we are back to the era of military coupists government. The tyrannical mindsets of African leaders is not helping the continent.

While I don't like military juntas, have you heard what these leaders are actually saying?

I recall Burkina Fasos leader asking why Africa was the poorest continent when we have the most resources? He said plainly this we don't understand and must change..

Right or wrong, they are overthrowing western puppets masquerading as leaders..

The BAT has shown his true colours in taking up sanctions against them.

These men could be the next Josef Sankara or perhaps Mobutu. But who knows, time will tell?

I bet you Tinubu wont do anything about Niger , he will only talk, Russia have been looking for opportunity to engage US they will do anything to get it here. If US like let them dare, na there u go see shege.

Holla911:
The fields are set. This is where government get interesting.
The way tinubu will handle this crisis determine his government durability.
Is ecowas pan African or a puppet ?
The dark czars are rising.
The tests begings.

This is getting interesting. AU and ECOWAS need to take a very severe action against this 3 countries otherwise we might as well say bye bye to democracy in Africa!

anyination:


Which small yansh... don't even joke with those countries.
They are backed up

Don't push them to their death and destruction. These are countries in the league of poorest of poor nations on earth and Niger in particular, for years, has had the lowest in the world in terms of HDI. They live on the benevolence of Nigeria . Nigeria has experience in this kind of things, having successfully done it in the past. They have no such experience and they are just too few and unequiped. Just take them off internet, electricity and create a land and air blockade

kingthreat:


stop calling me igbo.

bring me to court....

wirinet:


I agree with you. We must find a way of removing (or rather negotiating) these military regimes from power without breaking the China shop. I do not not want West Africa to the the next theatre in proxy war between Russia, China and the West.

Having said that, we also need a way to curtail the excesses of our civilian governments, particularly in terms of election manipulations and corruption.

I don't think the war will not last long with all countries intervening. They are part of the reason we are yet to eliminate Boko Haram completely.

No matter what, the coup ploters must restore democracy.

It's really funny how people think we would just finish niger..fine, we are not dier mate but on a neutral level we would deal with them but when the people of niger are in support of the coup so why are we fighting to force them to accept what dey don't want..africa will be thrown into war.kenya, ugandan, guinea, mali, Algeria , burki and more are indirectly supporting niger..wagner group have presence there and will definitely use this opportunity to for Russia.niger will get many weapons and Nigeria will be attacked from multiple side and have severe casualties..west will supply and after awhile leave us.so we will use our subsidy to fight war..if the people as for help it's a different thing but why fight for people that don't want your help

stasius:


Exactly. We have bad leaders in Democracy. That is why the people support and prefer military government.
Check all the six west African countries that have had military take over recently(Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Sudan,Chad and our neighbour Niger). T[b]heir people appear happy with the military takeover. See the jubilation and looting in Niger. Why? Because the people are not happy with the bad leaders they had.[/b]

I pray Nigeria doesn't get to the level where people loose hope in Democracy and clamour for military government because I know military regime is bad.
Abacha's regime is still fresh in most people's mind!

They are happy due to ignorant..they really don't know what they are going into..Let's see how long their jubilation lasts.

forgiveness:

and when they prefer military....??
you wan force them....

mrvitalis:

Blame leaders who can't obey simple rule of law

Coup only happens when the president is unpopular and refuse to step aside simple

U can't use coup to remove a popular president

Are you even aware that Mr Bazoum was elected? Did you hear of any popular protests in Niger asking him to step aside?

That is expected, because birds of the same evil feathers flock together.

They should please keep their flight path far away from Nigeria.

JuanDeDios:

Are you even ware the Mr Bazoum was elected? Did you hear of any popular protests in Niger asking him to step aside?

its the same thing with nigeria too....
not respectin each others opinions....

Don't push them to their death and destruction.

These are countries in the league of poorest of poor nations on earth and Niger in particular, for years, has had the lowest in the world in terms of HDI.

They live on the benevolence of Nigeria for aid to their military.

Nigeria has experience in this kind of military operation,we have successfully done it in the past, sacking impostors in power. Their military have no such experience and they are just too few and unequiped.

Just take them off internet, electricity and create a land and air blockade Check my signature for free stuffs!

You want them constantly licking the ass of the Western countries and their murderous NATO.

They've awaken and they are ready to die for it. Fvcck the West and her deranged allies.

The AU is setting Tinubu up to eventually fall flat on his face. Tinubu set the dice rolling when he made those unguarded statements recently in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This is why you need a leader who is cognizant of the times and situation around him.

The coup d'état in Niger is a direct consequence of his front loaded submission at that summit. South Africa and pro EAC countries led by Kenya are spoiling to exploit the leadership and economic weakness currently prevailing in Nigeria, and this is just the beginning.

My hope is that this select president will engage the services of seasoned technocrats to thread the current murky waters and steer well clear of his inexperienced political lackeys.

TheOldGods:
oga just shut up. Everything is not about tribe. The Nigerian coup should have happened from the very first day buhari, APC disobeyed court order, that was the very first day the military would have removed that dictator. We are practicing democracy. Not dictatorship.

Which court order?

tsdarkside:


and when they prefer military....??
you wan force them....

Which war? Can they fight Ethiopia, Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria, Angola etc?

Even Ghana is a power house in ECOWAS. They can singlehandedly bring down Burkina Faso.

Ask Chad, they will never support Niger because they had experienced war with us.

yeah,we nigerians are happy for niger people....
they achieved something that ecowas didnt achieve in decades....

kickin france away....!!

Toooor. You are indeed painting the picture of your papa and mama se.

Tinubu gets treatment in France and Nigeri is strategic for uranium

So, because of Tinubu, Niger coup plotters decided to test the waters, right?

Smh. What an unintelligent submission.

Godwin4444:
so because Yoruba man is in power u igbos want coup again right?

When u repeat d mistake of 1960 n u are dealt with u will start tagging nfa

Igbos who once called our country a blessed country before election are now wishing us bad cos they lost election

When they were shouting “e go shock u” before election many of us didn’t know d meaning until they lost election n immediately started wishing bad on us

True true e shock me ooo

Imagine many of them saying Russia should team up with Niger n finish Nigeria

Irrespective of whoever is in power! Nigeria is not yet d country every sane patriot dreams of...

I personally don't see any difference btw military rule and d current civilian government in Nigeria. Are we truly practicing democracy? If yes, den, dis democracy could make one have a change of mind.

D corruption going on is too much, and if d military should intervene for d sole interest to salvage d country, I think it's a good move. We can't continue like dis.

This is serious
How could few undeveloped country be fighting with current economic situation of the world

Godwin4444:
see idiot

Every Igbo man is a billionaire online till it’s time for giveaway

Don’t think everyone is as hungry as u, 5k is a big deal to u n that’s y u accuse others of collecting 30k to support their candidate

That 30k b like 30 million for your eyes

Even corridon dey boast say him go dash person 1 million until them bring thread wen he talk say e chop beans with dead insects inside when he has nothing else to eat

U igbos n chestbeating

I can't believe a time will come on Nairaland that I will be accused of being Igbo

EKONGKING:
Nigeria should focus on its problems , We should not get dragged into other people problems . The world is divided between westerners and others .Niger as a country should not and must not be a proxy war between NATO and Russia .

Nigeria as a country should play larger sized role in diplomacy ,we should send Buhari for diplomatic talks and peace deals , War is not at an option for Nigeria at this critical time .

Just like Buhari made Goodluck a peace ambassador , Tinubu should think along the same lines .

Sending Buhari to go preach peace and talk diplomatically...lol
Buhari is just like those typical abokis, they don't think diplomatically when uttering words. Baba go even go put more fire there, trust me....

their is no war looming....

gambia,we only had to flex muscle and it worked....
if it doesnt work with niger,then soo be it....

go to war because of democracy is nonesense....

The game changer will be when Russia is brought into the equation in favour of the Niger coup leaders

Godwin4444:
let them try it first

Igbos did d coup n till now they never agreed they were wrong let alone apologize n u cab also go to social media platforms n see they still want d repeat of same thing

How do u forgive a man who made mistakes first he ever apologized n still want to repeat d same thing

Babangida annulled the election Abiola won, jailed him and killed him.

And beat his chest that even if He wakes up and hear the Yorubas beating the drum of war, that he would go back to sleep.

Yet Yorubas didn't do anything.

Why do Yorubas feel they are stronger than igbos, if the North decides not to side with you guys, can Yorubas alone Replicate 1960 for the igbos and invade them?

oladele00:
Bad governance and failures of democratically elected presidents to fulfill promises made during elections are the rationale behind coups that are being witnessed in some African countries. The smiles on the faces of the Niger people say it all. Military administration in Africa has brought more development to the people than the Westernized copied and paste democracy.

How has military rile better than democracy in Africa? Please buttress your point with verified example in Africa context
