So you have not heard them complain that sometimes they come face to face with insurgents and when they try to engage the terrorists, President Bazoum will ask them to seek the permission of the French forces first?

The terrorists don’t need permission to kill them but they needed permission both from the president and French forces before they can engage the terrorists.

They were dying in battlefield. In a war that seemed to be sponsored by the imperialists who are not sincere about ending it. That’s their major grouse.
Many Africans are still blind to what is happening. Many doo't know that their colonial masters control them and steal alot of their resources. This why Africa is poor. They also control their politicians. For Africans to take back their wealth they need to stop their colonial masters from controlling them. This will soon happen all over Africa. The mother is in travail. It is time for the children to be free. By blood or peace!

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?!

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.
Baba,the northern politicians will gain from the war with Niger.
You think politicians care about the masses being massacred,if there's money to be made politicians will let Nigeria burn without a second thought.

You're right... There's no proof for that but how about Mali that offers to present facts and proofs at the UN summit that the French government is the sponsor of terrorism in their country but the UN did not allow them to present their proof.

Dude no sane Nigerian is in support of this war(its just crazy thinking Nigeria and war,its sickening).
The economy is basically on its death throes,lagos roads are basically empty. The country is dying then you want to fund a war. Lets even say its affect us why the use of force please - it doesn't add up.
The west are trying to stage another proxy war here in sub sahara Africa.

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?

I have argued this with several people.... In Africa, military rule is the best and records are there to prove this.

Africa is poor and democracy is expensive to run. I can even argue that democracy is a tool by the west to keep Africa in perpetual poverty.

It creates room for mass looting of resources. From the central government to local ... There's just too many hands inside the pot of soup. Then you have to pay the military too. That's double cost when the military could just rule and collect the same salary they collect under democratic government.

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.

It will be easier and encouraging for military at home to finish him. You would not be surprised that nigeriens who are the operating banditry and illegally NIGERIA Nigeriens who lead the couple against Tinubu.
I pray not for this, but this is what may happen.

Which military? the one that could not stand Boko Haram, Bandits and Herdsmen? Nigeria army is worse than a rag tag army full of corruption, religion and tribalism, Tinubu is not even a legitimate president yet until the tribunal is done with the case at hand, why going to stick your neck where you are not invited? with the baggage of problems to fix in Nigeria you left all to go and prosecute a needless war. can somebody tell Tinubu and those urging him on that war cost real money and we don't have that kind of real money right now, or is he going to borrow again to fight war? because that is what African leaders are known for, borrow borrow make me fine.

Shehu Sanni is only afraid that this war will affect the north where he comes from. But this is the joker to stop Boko Haram finally. We need to take advantage of this opportunity and move to Niger. Thenafter move into Chad and stop Boko Haram once and for all.

Yes, the war can enter some Nigerian states, but it is better to have a military takeover. May God never allow bad things. Bola Tinjbu must go fight this war, and he needs to not delay.

After, we must not leave Niger, but make sure we keep our boys there to check Boko Haram. This excuse is why we will stay there for like 10 years to stop Boko Haram finally. Then, we move to Chad and do the same. This way, we will kill Boko Haram forever.
Seriously what didbyou smoke when you typed this? Or is it too much tour of duty games you play on PS4? Dude the reason why we have not been overrun by BH and ISWAP is because of Niger. They have been the stop gap preventing the extremists and insurgents from moving south deep into Nigeria. Hope you know there is a multi National task force handling BH of which Chad and Niger are part of. During the offensive against BH these guys chased a detachment of BH insurgents deep into Borno state to finish them off. Now imagine now we want to send soldiers into Niger, know that these same guys would give free pass to BH and Bandits and know this Lagos and Abuja are their prime targets, and be rest assured we would be fighting a difficult war of attrition in our soil. Make we dey wise, even if we win against Niger, the cost of that victory will haunt us for the next 20 or 30 years, because we will see more extremists activities on our northern borders very well.

You do not know anything about military tactics and strategy. Only one statement is what I will push here that will turn over all the assumptions you have written above. Here is it: We move to Niger and Chad and go after the source. Simple.

Listen, you don't win a war on the battleground...you win it outside. We cannot involve ourselves in the affairs of Chad and Niger as of now, but we can if we use this war as an excuse. What is our goal...to stop where weapons are dropped. Niger and Chad are where Boko Haram Haram members get their weapons. We move in and interfere and stop it permanently.

All your talk about their army chasing some bla bla bla is "trash". Niger has 10,000 army capacity...what can such do to Boko Haram? Maybe cos of one incidence, you dey talk. Do you know the number of weapons entering Nigeria via Niger? What can 10,000 soldiers do in a nation bigger than Nigeria? Yes, Niger is bigger than Nigeria.

We can't win Boko Haram fighting them cos so many hideouts and routes to Nigeria. This is the opportunity to move into Niger and Chad and destroy the Boko Haram network there. The Wagner group will have no base again. That it.

As soon as we crush these, the rest are child's play. We crush them all.

And if it turns to Russia Vs Ukraine...so be it. It is far better than to allow these people to enter. Believe me...if we don't act now, Boko Haram will spread. We are fighting the real Boko Haram people by going to this war... and this is what you guys don't understand. It is a good opportunity for us.

If we slack...forget it. Nigeria is gone. The extreme Islamists will take over. Go check out...most of these military coup plotters are extremists. The same will happen here...and they will Islamatize Nigeria. This is what you guys are not seeing.

Bola Tinubu is not a Christian so, it is good for us. I think this is a perfect plan and the hand of God. Let a Muslim move this forward...if it was Peter Obi, he wouldn't go cos he would be careful because he is a Christian. And believe me...if Naija doesn't make a move now, we are dead in the hands of the Muslim extremists.

Your theory that Boko Haram will flourish because Niger will back off is false. Why? They aren't even checking 0.0000001% of the activities of terrorists. Why? Their army capacity is extremely low. They do not have the military capacity. And we cannot go inside cos it is a sovereign nation. Now, we can go in.

Listen...Niger is bigger than Nigeria...like 30% bigger, but its population is just 20 million people. Lagos's population is even more than this. So, the hideouts there are massive.

So, I support President Bola Tinubu to move now and kick out the military in Niger. After, he needs to kove to Chad. Set our boys there. And then, Cameroon and the rest will join us... and we remove those military guys in Mali, Burkina Faso...and the rest. But Naija must go after Niger now...and then Chad.

You don't get it.
Northern Nigeria is more connected to Niger than the rest of Nigeria. They won't allow any border wall or sanction as they feel Niger is also like them.
Buhari pamper them gave them cars , rail way even oil.
Military intervention in Niger will break Nigeria I can assure you that.
It takes a very wise leader to lead Nigeria.
Let Nigeria break, this is overdue. Let the states bordering Niger go with them. If Tinubu did not deal, strategically (causing instability for Niger junta) or straightforwardly (ECOWAS military intervention); the same Niger will energise or influence Nigerian -Northern soldiers to overthrow Tinubu.
