....how did US Army succeed against Sadam Hussein?

Shaytun:
Lol. The president himself FB already signed off on the intervention.

He wrote a letter to the world and said he needs help, he and his family have been taking hostage by criminal gangs.

BlueRayDick:
People wey no dey reason at all. Person wey dey reason go know say it's Nigeria practically financing ECOWAS from time immemorial.

The same people preaching day and night that we bear with Tinubu and his government that the country is broke and can't continue to borrow to pay subsidy are urging the same Tinubu on to enter into an armed conflict that will cost the country billions of naira. 🤦‍♂️

GloriousGbola:
This is the only credible argument - money.

BlueRayDick:
That has always been my argument.

raumdeuter:
What of if we can use this as an opportunity to get money or some favors from Ogas at the top that are interested in neutralizing Wagner and Russia

How is Iraq today after the invasion? After 20 years, Iraq is still unstable politically.

See how this journalist wan break Bush head with shoe

.....make we deal with those Vigilantes fess. We will discuss the aftermath later. A step at a time.

BlueRayDick:
I will wait for season 2 Jàre. I'm tired of watching season 1 and then foregetting almost everything when season 2 comes out over a year after

BlueRayDick:
Make dem credit our account first instead of promissory notes.

If I see say USA give Naija money without any condition, I will gladly support the motion. No be to just dey send weapons or grants that will be converted to loans.

Those guys don't love us, if they will use us as pawns in their proxy war, then let them reward us bountifully

raumdeuter:
Which country or superpower has the interest of Africa or mean good for us?

Spy360:
Naturally no other individual or nation can show genuine interest without having their own covered too. The idea is either to ditch all of them or choose the one whose interest does not negate our own.

GloriousGbola:
This is the only credible argument - money.

[color=royalblue]In all, let's just pray that whatever decision ECOWAS take won't kill us or affect us individually.

Either way you look at it, trouble is coming.

I rest my case on this argument. [/color]

raumdeuter:
Exactly either ways it's trouble for us

Nigeria is the biggest prize in West Africa, Russia looking to grow their influence just captured a poor Niger, even if there was no West involved you think Russia will stop at Niger and turn back when there is oil rich Nigeria just below?

Because you don't go look for trouble doesn't stop trouble from looking for you. In this case trouble is already at our doorstep

GloriousGbola:
Trouble is here. It is coming all the way from central Africa.

So we have to decide if we will be a pacifist Neville chamberlain or a belligerent Winston Churchill.

What people need to understand is however bad you think the west is - China /Russia will be much worse.

Countries where the citizens don't have the semblance of human rights will certainly not even pretend to be concerned about the rights of Africans.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Are u invading niger without the approval from the parliament?

monerozi5590:
. Small history. USA invasion of Vietnam. One part either the Southern or Northern part ( can't really remember)was fighting on the side of USA but what happened?
