Shaytun:
4. Our interest is stability, which you can never have if the coup is allowed to stand.

You think if Nigerian hadn’t reacted, other countries wouldn’t?

You believe Nigeria should have taken a passive approach and let other countries dictate what happens in our backyard.

We are still reeling from the impact of Libya situation because we adopted a passive approach decades later.

[color=royalblue]Shebi Tinubu has sent delegates, and it didn't take up to 24 hours before Mr Junta kicked Abdulsalami and his team out of Niamey.

So what else do you want ECOWAS to do?[/color]

GloriousGbola:
For the last one year we heard different people cursing Buhari for being a dictator masquerading as a Democrat. Now the same people are celebrating military rule.

Lekki massacre, banning twitter are child's play in a military dictatorship. And as shaytun has pointed out, all those so called celebrations mean nothing. Those are just psy ops to give the regime a false veneer of legitimacy. Have we not lived through this and more as Nigerians? Did we not see youth earnestly asking for abacha? Do we not see rented crowds for every political persuasion?

Segedinho:
I think Mr Junta is ready for war from d beginning n maybe has a back up plan already prepared...

We have got much to loose if we invade ....the already porous and vulnerable northern part will bleed when it generates to a full blown war

How does someone not supporting military invasion in a sovereign country that has not invaded anybody signify hate for Tinubu

On the contrary your blind support for Tinubu is what we should be questioning here. Wars are expensive and the implications involve loss of lives. This is the 4th coup in quick succession. What is so special about this one that requires immediate intervention.

Shaytun:
You are celebrating the coup.

It’s not a war, it’s an intervention.

A democratically elected president, chosen by the good people of Niger to serve a Four year term rule has been taken hostage by a disgruntled head of the presidential guard.

How will you see tag when the military junta have already banned the internet?

Are you even following this development, or just feeding on what Twitter influencers have been feeding you?

There have been massive protest from the Nigerien diaspora in other countries.

Let me remind you again, maybe you keep forgetting this important fact, the first protest that broke out following the coup was an anti-coup protest, but they were shot at and have been unable to come out in Niamey since then.

That’s because I’m your tiny mind and your hate for Tinubu, you actually believe this is for ego sake.

A40:
Wetin consign us with Libya? Are we part of Arab League? I don't understand what you mean by passive approach. You're invading another man's land talmbout passive approach.

Niger had change in rule, they didn't say you should invade their country. They have not done anything that gives you right to invade and violate their territorial integrity and any negative backlash we get from this will be 100% deserved

[color=royalblue]So as a consultant, advise us on what to do.

We have tried dialogue, and the coupists kicked it out of the door.

So what should ECOWAS do?[/color]

OasisX:


....I am glad ECOWAS ain't gonna back down on military intervention if other options failed.

You guys are free to migrate to Niger and join their vigillantes to defend the Coupists. Afterall, Nigerian and Nigerien sound almost alike.

Segedinho:
Sanction them in all capacities and let them enjoy/suffers the change of gov .....

Dialogue with other democratic country to do thesame with a promise of going back "if" they return to democracy...

[color=royalblue]The image below is a proof that Majority of Nigerians love Tinubu and wanted him as president.

I hope you agree with me.[/color]

Shaytun:
Amazingly, one of the answers is in your statement.

The 4th coup in quick succession, if nothing is done expect the 5th, 6th till the whole region falls under a puppet regime of a private military company.

Nope, I have an unwaveringly support for my country, and unlike you, I understand just the implications of having an unstable regime in Niger will cause Nigeria.

The world doesn’t exist in isolation, there’s a reason why every sane country is invested in what happen to their neighbours.

Shaytun:
Nope.

Niger did not have a change of rule, their leader was kidnapped.

Shaytun:
Lol.

The francophone were never going to back down.

Ivory Coast and Senegal expecially.

That’s why I’m happy Nigeria took the bull by the horn, I’m also delighted that France is being edged out of the region.

I never really liked the hold the French hold on the region.

Segedinho:
You can't compare both....but Yes,the pic depicts people loved him as well...and it happens to be d reason he is sitting on d throne without a fierce revolution...

Shaytun:
Give me an example of where that has worked in the past 20 years.

You believe the juntas gives a shi*t what happen to their people.

A40:
The more pressing question you should be asking yourself is why are the Coups happening?

Weak and compromised leadership is the reason.

My own is for relative peace to be in existence. Cameroon have had a puppet of the west for about 40 years so I don't see the issue

Eyadema died, the son bounced the vice and took over and has been in power 18 years. Is it Deby of Chad who ruled 30 years and now his son is in charge.

You people keep supporting this peak fooling una dey call democracy.

Niger cannot be more unstable than it has been for the past 40 years. Nobody used excuse to invade us when we were going through our problems so why are you adamant on invading another country?

You're not more supportive than other Nigerians that realize the financial and physical burden a potential war can bring to the region.

I don't understand your excitement for it. You're not a troop, not a Northerner, you're not even a Nigerien. You don't really have skin in the game

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Oh, so i can't compare both?

Like...One is more original than the other, baa?[/color]

DontBullshitMe:
Are you slow??

1) It's a military government so anti-coup demonstrations will naturally be few(er) because the people who belong to this category will fear for their lives as they will be at the risk of serious persecution.

2) How exactly does "demonstrations" convey legitimacy? Why bother about elections then? Let's just see who has more people during their campaigns.

3) Since the Coup plotters feel they are popular and well loved, why can't they wait for election period to contest??

Like I said earlier, one can be against military intervention in Niger and still vehemently be against the coup plotters like myself. Stop doing this bullsheet mahn!

Shaytun:
It will be better for everyone if you read up on the coup and everything about it.

Stop giving gba Takes.

You don’t even know where you stand.

Read this, it will help you to atleast understand what is going on.
