No. I think this might be different.

I was just discussing this with a friend. I told him that the Senate might not approve Tinubu’s request and there’s nothing Rubber Stamp Akpabio can do to help him.

The calculation is simple.

APC has 59 senators or thereabout.

The opposition has 50 senators.

The northern senators in APC after meeting with northern stakeholders will never support military action in Niger because they will suffer it most.

Any war in Niger will see people of Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, etc, becoming displaced because those states will be the flashpoint.

Now, add about 20 northern senators in APC to 50 opposition senators, you will get 70.

Any bill with 70 senators against it is dead on arrival.
Funny enough, you don't understand Nigerian politicians.
You think they care about the Masses.

This Neejay state should be handled with iron hand. Those criminals from there sneaking into our country would no longer have access.

Niger is about to feel the wrath of Nigeria. Too much familiarity breeds contempt.
Buhari squandered our resources on them, pampered them and fraternized with them too much. They're about to know what time it is.

I diss the Nigerien military HUNTA with “Hit 'Em Up” by TuPac.

The Senate should quickly approve it. The war would be between Yoluba people vs Niger!!!! I can bet my balls that Niger republic will trash the Yolubas before 7am on the day of Battle
seems your brain works like a whirlpool. What’s the connection of yoruba people to Niger? Geographically, culturally we are wide apart. You are just a mental patient roaming freely

Regional security is key

When Hillary Clinton and Obama started in Libya with Gaddafi nobody thought the mess would escalate

Now without A leader like Ghadafi Libya became major route for Drugs, Gun and Human trafficking

Northern Nigeria still suffers for the instability of Libya, with Boko Haram and ISwap getting weapons

Right now

Niger Coupist claim they staged coup because of lack of Economic growth

Can a Soldier trained for battle guarantee Economic growth?!



.
Gadaffi and Thomas Sankara were soldiers, till date no African leader has archived what they did in Their countries.
Read about gadaffi's achievement in Libya from reliable sources, then you will know it's not a matter of being an economist or whatever, but it's about a leader who has the best interest of the people in heart.

What points do the pro-war faction make to support their position?
I am American so I'm not really familiar with Nigerian politics. The American media is drumming up suport against the junta in Niger by characterizing them as pro-Russia. What are they saying in Nigeria?
As usual, Nigeria is divided o er the issue. The Northern part of the country don't want a war with their neighbour.
But we won't fold our hands and watch others being oppressed would we.
Nigeria will invade. We have to play big brother. Would look good in our résumé someday. cool

Unfortunately on this I'm not going to support Tinubu despite I'm his staunch political supporter it is a needless confrontation Niger is different from Nigeria let the people of Niger sort their political issues out themselves.

However, that does not mean some people should go far into insulting Tinubu and be ridiculing Nigeria simply their party lost general election. I understand he hate anything millitary rule due to his past experience but Niger issue should not be our headache moreso Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso overthrew democratic govt in power and no millitary action why are West and Russia suddenly making Niger issue a top priority with different interest?

Pls Mr Tinubu we don't need a fight with Niger, we have stopped subsidy and they can't steal our oil again that is all that maters and should be matters to us and not a coup.

Tinubu did not seek for senate approval. He is only asking for their support. Tinubu has already taken a decision. I think we will only hear about Nigerian army fighting in Niger.

Tinubu should not lead Nigeria into a West African regional war. US, France and Russia back opposing states in the region. The whole country should reject this misadventure. We did not vote him to start war. Imagine, he is not even three months on that seat. I am a Yoruba, but won't support his misadventure. We have enough problems here in Nigeria already

The only thing Nigeria should do is shut our borders. That way it appears we are appeasing our western masters, since we are all slaves of the west. But we should also take part in the struggle of the developing world, you know Africa, the black race, BRICS, and other developing nations that the West and other imperialist organizations like NATO and the G7 benefit off of. We should still unofficially establish trade with them until Tinubu is toppled and replaced by a patriot and not a white man house boy. Any foolish low IQ idiot Nigerian that is backing this conflict is most likely as poor as dirt seeing as they don't have the mental capacity to see 5 feet in front of them much less envision the future. I'm not going to tell you the implications of Nigeria getting involved in this conflict because if you have the data to troll online, you might as well do a bit of research, if your low IQ brain will allow such a thing.

Any well meaning Nigerian would respect NIGER, not because it is the right thing to do, as the military junta is currently the will of the people, but because they are black like us, and this is exactly what is going on. The people are fighting France from continually exploiting them and their resources

Sheu is entitled to his opinion and I will not be surprised if he eventually succeeds in convincing his bigots brother in the north in allowing another West Africa country to be successfully enslaved.
However I think Niger deserves another slavery like Mali their brother cos those countries have remained dogmatic in underdevelopment and so they even deserve to be invaded by the whites so that there can be an overhaul reorientation for such 4th world countries t

Hausa and Fulani politicians will not allow Tinubu to kill their tribesmen in Niger because they said they are tired of France and America exploiting them and keeping them illiterate and poor with puppet leaders called democracy.
Meanwhile we are compiling names of Ronu brigade to go and fight in Niger on behalf of Yoruba Muslims

Some people are urging Tinubu on, to invade Niger Republic. They call themselves patriots. And accuse every voice of reason that is telling them to abort mission as being unpatriotic.

They are so sure that Nigeria will obliterate Niger in few hours.

But these same people were so sure that Russia would finish off Ukraine in 72 hours but one year after, and Russia can’t point at one thing it has achieved in Ukraine. I’m sure the only reason Russia is still in Ukraine is because of pride.

Those opposing invasion of Niger are not being unpatriotic, we are actually the patriots. We have more pressing issues at home front as already enunciated by Chief Bode George. Let’s face those issues and leave Niger alone. If anything, the people seem to be happy. Let’s leave them to their destiny.

A word is enough for the wise.
