Please, what is the needful?
I don't know, it's the job of the politicians to figure that. But one thing I know is that southeast will not be happy seeing you sell their gas to Europe when you start doing that and they will do something about it. Especially when they already feel marginalized

Add that Niger also is mainly deserted
Which is also going to be problem for Nigerian troops..
They will be a lot of traps, ambush conta attacks...

That's why Nigeria is unable to defeat Bokoharam

Is not all Ecowas and AU states that would send troops
Ghana 🇬🇭 has pulled out of the options of sending troops

Egypt, Algeria, Libya are behind Niger

So what is left

Common Boko Haram Nigeria is unable to crush...

The land mass of Niger is already a problem for Nigeria Troops...

Niger is not Liberia

Moreover most Northern states will support Niger because they are relatives they will help sabotage Nigerian troops efforts...

Again Biafra might use that as an opportunity to start another war against Nigeria...

Niger won't do head on confrontation with Nigeria

They will target 🎯 infrastructures in Nigeria like BUK Sokoto, ABU Zaria, NDA, Kanji Dam, using air missiles
There's no evidence Egypt, Algeria, Libya, are behind Niger. Only Mali, Guinea, and Burkina.

You call those countries "ONLY"?
What do you know about them?
BTW don't forget to add Guinea Bissau.
For a country with SERIOUS internal political problems, Nigeria should not be messing with these types of trouble.
Nigeria should be busy fixing her internal political contradictions.

I pray you should be deployed to Niger when the war start.

The zombidients are only reacting to UK and US backing PBAT and ECOWAS to commence action on Niger republic.. all their Wagner and Russia noise is just to console themselves.

When AU and ECOWAS jointly issue statement that they do not recognize the Military junta in Niger republic, let me see any IPOB that will go and question them.
I pray your father will be in the Frontline.

Do you thinks South-South is happy?

When the SS militancy started, the Niger-Delta people didn't hold a meeting to deliberate on it
and when it ended, their input was not sought.

Imagine someone of the mould of Uzodinma having a stake in a gas venture and one
group threatens to shut it down. Yeah, we know how it will end.

go and find out who are the most coward people in the military. The answer will be Yoruba.
Check the infantry you will only see few Yoruba people their.

Not surprised there.
You see them mostly in officer corp where they can dodge wotowoto. cheesy
A few years back, one of them, "a general" deployed against ISWAP was lamenting at the war front that his men lacked equipment.
He forgot that war is a total black swan situation ruled by uncertainty.
He displayed ZERO spine.

You need to go and read their history, particularly how they defeated Portugal to gain independence.
They were the FIRST sub-Saharan African country to gain independence through armed struggle.
They have a history that makes them stare down even the strongest of foe whenever necessary.
But they would be working in alliance with Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso this time.
They have a PROUD past.

Guinea Bissau almost had a coup in 2022, the president ran to Buhari who sent 200 soilders there still guiding their president until this day. So how can they turn against Nigeria who have their soilders in their presidential palace?

Southsouth is not as homogenous as southeast.
Southsouth has several small group that are not easy to mobilize to reach a consensus. That is not the case with southeast

If the situation in Niger is not stabilized according to the standards of the West, there will be nothing for the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline, which according to the contractor's plans was supposed to supply the 🇪🇺 EU countries with as much as 30 billion cubic meters.

I think Russia is trying to use Niger to frustrate this supply to Europe so Europe can continue to buy gas from them.
Russians are cheats, manipulators, traitors and bad friends. Green snake. No wonder the NATO kicked them out of the organization. No trust. Just like some people here in 9ja

This Niger coup is a decider between those African countries that are fed up with the looting of African resources versus those happy slaves who want to continuously do the bidding of the West so they can remain in the reigns of power to the chagrin of their rival African ethnic groups.
We already know where Southern Africans will support as West Africa is divided into two groups. Central Africa may likely support the same side that Southern Africa supports. East Africa will also be divided just like North Africa.
The time for Africa's liberation has come. Those who in cahoot with the enslavers have plundered Africa and left her in ruins are about to be phased away. Mama Africa will fight for her children.
Lmao. Just watching Nigeria keenly as she dances surugede.

How would they show face when they are being protected by ECOWAS from their own military? Wouldn't it be common sense to know that they are not fighting because they can't fight at this time and are being baby-seated by ECOWAS? So which chief of defence staff do you want them to send to the meeting?

So, you agree that the west is the one manipulating Tinubu to attack Niger?

So you agree that Tinubu is an ordinary puppet to the west?

Ok. It means Nigeria is already occupying one sovereign country yet she claims no one should interfere in her own internal affairs. We all can see where this is going. Guinea Bissau will soon be free from the Nigerian occupation force.
