A lot of you just yarn Rubbish. You just wake up and start building a nuclear power plant. You won't have to go through the International approval and Nuclear power plant cost peanuts I guess.

Even the cheapest and efficient Nuclear plant costs at least $8billion. Where do you think Russia would pull out $8billion from for Niger Republic?

Even Putin would dance Awilo and go on a one week Praise singing program if they got someone investing $8billion in a new plant for them.

Russia can write it off as debt na, afterall dem just forgave some african state debt of about $23billion, besides, dem fit collect some Uranium too and help Niger to sell to those european countries like france who needs it badly to power their own nuclear plants to generate energy. Russia can act as a middle man here. Cool business to generate some cool $ i tell ya. cool

Yoruba has everything it takes to stand alone

We have Lagos the 4th largest economy in Africa, Lagos economy alone is bigger than many African countries

Ondo is among the oil producing states in Nigeria. Output from Ondo alone is bigger than southeast

Lagos has natural Gas that hasn’t even started being explored

In fact, everything happens in southwest, education, entertainment, commerce, trade, import and export etc

What do you have to stand alone. Do you know how disadvantaged being landlocked is? Do you know that’s why you people always attach to south south to fight for Biafra because your leaders know you can never ever stand alone

Have you ever asked yourself why Lagos is the largest economy in Africa?

When you mention all these natural resources, how have they impacted in the lives of the ordinary individual in the region?

Is Lagos or the SW now like Stockholm or some dream destination?

As a Military Colonel or General, If you want to rule, simply resign join Politics and contest

You can't bully people to lead them as dictator.. that is long gone and unacceptable


* To the people confused on why we provide electricity to neighboring countries*

Nigeria Generates its electricity through Dams , we Dam rivers like Niger and Benue that flows in from other countries

For the water flow to have enough force to turn our turbine in places like Kanji we needed to stop other countries from building their own dam with the river

General Abacha had to sign an agreement with the neighbors, that we provide electricity and they pay but they are not going to Dam the river

* Why is it our Business ?!

Hillary Clinton, Obama and Gaddafi started a war in Libya...

Illicit arms from Europe got into Libya

Boko Haram began buying cheap illicit arms

The insurgency has lasted for over 10 years

how many years would Niger Crisis and it's insurgency last if we don't act now?!

Can we handle Niger IDP and refugee flowing in to Nigeria

.

What will happen to our own electricity should they divert or bridge the dam?

Children of hate and frustration and their enabler online will still wail.

We cut off electricity, they will wail.
We did not cut if off, they have been wailing.
You even see some of the terrorists saying the Army should take over in our Darling Country, all because they lost as election, bunch of cannibals.

Enemies of Nigeria will never end well in life.

As long as God lives.

We Rise.

the real enemy of Nigeria are the Yorubas, if not them begging to stay in this dis jointed country because they know they are finished should anything happens to the unity of this country, unity beggars for life

Some of you would just open your mouth waaaa. I would be worried if a country like Niger has a nuclear power plant just a few thousands meters away from Nigeria.

Possible but they will have to manage with candles for the next 6 or more years pending when the Nuclear power plant will be functional.

Since we don't provide Mali and guinea who are neighboring countries to niger too, mali and guinea who allies with niger can provide them with electricity so the notion that niger will be in total darkness for the long hull does not hold water.

What makes you think Niger will not dam river Niger?

If nigeria thru Tinubu can renege on an agreement, what obligation does Niger have keeping to the terms of that agreement?

Same way "You can't bully people to lead them as dictator" is the same way you can't bully another country to do what you want.

Are the people of Niger complaining that they don't want military rule?

What has the history of Libya got to.do with the Niger situation?

Which insurgency is in Niger?

So you can ask such intelligent question

1: if they Dam it, Nigeria Gas master plan would see us move fully to gas powered plant

2: Niger is Landlocked and playing with. Agreements would hurt them more

3: You can bully any country through diplomatic chanel's and engagement, US keeps bullying countries and nothing happened

4: Porous border in Libya made Boko Haram get cheap weapons, you may not understand this if you have less knowledge on Gun trade

5:. Insurgency means Uprising and revolt... That is the definition... So is there insurgency in Niger , you answe

If Nigeria split today, southeast is the only region that cannot stand alone. They will be landlocked and Nigeria will finish them with sanctions

Technically we aren't landlocked because there are water ways to the ocean that can allow ships to come in its about making good relationship with our neighbours Niger Delta cheesy



We'll stand alone.

Switzerland and Luxembourg are land locked but are doing excellently well .

It's going to take time actually but we'll definitely do well as independent country and our GDP per capita will be amongst the highest in Africa cheesy



Don't worry about us we'll do well cheesy


It is interesting how you compare yourself to Switzerland, I am really impressed

The entire southeast whey no pass Oyo state.
Landlocked in africa

Please compare yourself to chad, Niger and other landlocked African countries not a country far away in Europe

Nigerians are not very smart people.

I can see it now.

The quality of our leadership is poor.

We don't know our long or short term interests.

France is the number one enemy's of Nigerian interests.

They are responsible for many of our security woes and have undermined our economic interests in the region.

They kiled the Eco currency.

It's in Nigeria's long term interests to have less France in the region.

What I expect Nigeria to do is to shout and support bazzoum verbally for the sake of public performance, but secretly take no real action to undermine the new military leaders.

Our interest is to get the french and their allies kicked out.
Anything else is secondary.

Once the french are out, the region is now our playground and we can now carry out our own agenda.

It's in Nigeria's long term interests for West Africa to become less francophone.

Any Nigerian president that is supporting french interests is a useful idiot that has no clue about geopolitics and spheres of influence.
Re: Nigeria Commences Sanctions Against Niger, Cuts Off Electricity Supply by SeriouslySense(m): 5:20pm On Aug 02, 2023
Unfortunately, the Mr. Tinubu was seen going to France more than once, like its his second home.

France compared to Britain, treats its colonies like slaves in a greater degree.

I think they may have an agreement. Its possible, the France must have told him how to go about it.
