All you nonsense children.... Europe have been getting their gas in liquified form from Nigeria and directly from Azerbaijan and USA..... That project is to come online in next 6 to 10 years..... It hasn't even started..... And mind you Algeria is involved, so also is Morocco..... They will never allow Russia interfer with their internal matters...... Just the way Russia can't tell Azerbaijan to stop supplying Europe gas..... Just as Russia can't tell Saudi to stop supplying EU or USA oil....you guys should learn to study before running wild with half baked information

A country that gained independence in 1960 is in 2023, over 60 years after its independence, has a military that knows how to plan coup only and when it is time to fight, runs to a private company army to beg these business men to defend them. Niger don suffer.
So all the shakara is because they were banking on Wagner and Russia? To think that Russia or Wagner will go against Nigeria and Ecowas at this time Russia is seriously courting Africa shows they did not do their homework well before executing their coup.

Wagner ko, Wrangler ni. The coupists better go and remove army uniform, join or set up a political party, contest for the election and allow the citizens choose their leader.


At least I see a comment with sense... some people just do copy and paste from blogs and start arguing as if they have been to Russia...

Which country do you think Russia will want to side with ? What's the significance of Niger to the world....is as good as zero...Niger has been feeding on Nigeria for years... They think Russia is that senseless to abandon bush meat like Nigeria for a dry crab like Niger...

Who was the jury that tagged President Bazoum Government a rogue government?

Same Hypocrites that castigated President Buhari for dashing Niger Republic bullet proof SUVs, are the same Hypocrites supporting the military today?

The military that the civilians bought the weapons for to use to defend the sovereignty of their country, have now used those same weapons to attack its Oga?

Yet we have Simon Ekpa minded people supporting them?
Are the civilians that bought the guns complaining that their right were trampled by the military? Did the military kill anybody? But do you remember how many people that were killed during last election because they don't want to vote for a particular candidate? Is this military intervention not better than Nigerians last general election? You're either a hypocrite or a mere fool fooling around. In either case I won't reply again.

Well said bro. Russia won’t intervene so as not to jeopardize its relationship with the African countries it’s courting at the moment but I think France and the west do know how to meddle in elections of third world countries to have their puppet installed in power at the expense of who the electorates want. They don’t mind destroying your country and your life to preserve and safeguard their own interests

Aggrieved Obidient, your support for the Niger coup is because Peter Gringory lost election, nothing more?

Just because you lost election in Nigeria, and no state of Biafra was achieved by your god Nnamdi Kanu, you now hate the land of your birth?

No be today, please enjoy your sit @ home with Peter Judas Obi.

Like I said earlier, that which you wish on others, will without a shadow of a doubt, first visit you & your household.

Black man will always find a way to blame others for their own shortcomings, maybe it was The UK, EU & The United States, not Mahmood Yakubu of INEC that declared Bola Tinubu as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Maybe it was the same Oyibos that sponsored the coup in Niger, to remove a democratically elected government?

Please check your map of Benin again. It seems you did not take geography. The Northern part of Benin shares border with Niger and are culturally related. There are Hausa there and other Northern muslims in Benin like Northern Nigeria.

Ecowas will not fight any war with Niger. Niger can't even function without Ecowas. Ordinary sea import, electricity, banks etc, they cannot run on their own as a nation. Anyone expecting anyone to go to war with a country in abject poverty like Niger does not mean well for Niger.

There will more likely be no war yet the coupists will be sacked. Either a counter coup or arrest of the man. Niger does not have an army and in fact, Nigeria is the one that dashes them military hardwares.

Niger can't function without ECOWAS, the country is poor, Nigeria supplies the country with military hardwares, bla bla bla. Yet, you want this same country to remain in the hands of democratic criminals against the people's wish??

The EU & United States have already said it categorically, that the attempted coup in Niger must fail, Ecowas has vowed to teach Niger Republic a lesson.

No rush, just keep watching this space.

I am not a supporter of Russia especially there senseless war in Ukraine. But is an established truth that super powers stay out of each others space . When asad invited Russia to help him ...the USA gave a distance ....when usa went to Afghanistan..Russia stayed out of there space.

The same trait our nzogbu nzogbu people exhibit here.

Niger coup plotters are about to make the same mistake which made some people die like chickens in 1967

Like Niger Coup plotters like Ipob terrorists.

Their land is burning. Today is Monday, their parents will still hide under their beds but Niger affair is their concern.

They want to liberate Niger when they have not even liberated themselves from their colonial master, Ekpa.

Idiotic comment from a youth who is completely and hopelessly unlearned. If you had taken the little time you had to read wide, by now you should have a better grasp of local/international politics and power. How you think in your little mind that the coup in Niger has the faintest connection with the issue in the SE, shows that your baba so pe mentality has a passcode.

You support a needless invasion of a sovereign country, without having in your fickle mind, wondered why the same Nigerian armed forces in all these years have been able to stop the destruction either in the entire north or the SE.

Gullible people like you are easily led to your destruction. Rather than face the severe economic issues confronting your own country, your polluted mind tells you that the SE instigated the coup in Niger.

If you cannot read, why not ask learned people to tell you exactly what happened over the years in Niger, and what is presently happening there?

But have you forgotten that the same Wagner forces on the invitation of GEJ, operated in Nigeria, to keep boko haram away from the 2015 elections?

Dialogue remains the way forward. A very wrong move by ECOWAS will have the most dangerous results playing out in Nigeria, where Niger shares 1068 km border length. That much was acknowledged by our northern Senators, most of who are not able to visit their constituents without adequate security because of boko haram.

Africa has become once again a battle front for the Americans, Europeans, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel. Africa has the resources that all the countries require to keep their economies going. Controlling African resources is of prime important to all. Unfortunately we have very terrible leaders, who only think of their pockets. Foreign powers loot African resources to grow their economies, while African leaders stash it looted funds in those countries, that further help their economies.

Niger was deliberately underdeveloped by France; systematically impoverished, using their leaders. Uranium is needed for nuclear. Niger is among the leading producers of uranium. With the defective agreements enslaving them to France, their politicians just like ours always cooperated to make life harder for the citizens and impoverish their people. The rest has become history with the repeated coups in African countries that we witness.

Look at our country. Inspite of all the scream about stealing crude, we still read reports of it, with vessels aided by the navy and politicians. When will Africa wake up from the deep slumber? If care is not take, West Africa is threatened by a very ferocious war waiting to happen already.

This is the situation.

Nigeria is poised to start the supply of Gas to Europe, who will pay billions in $$$ for this favour. Russia, who just cut off their Gas supply to Europe would do everything to thwat Europe's plan to get Gas from Nigeria by gaining control over countries along the path of the Gas pipeline from Warri Nigeria, supplying Europe. Niger is the perfect country for Russia to distabilize in order to jeopardize the Gas project.

For Russia, its pay back. For Nato, its survival. Winter is coming and Europe will need Nigerian Gas to power their heat systems. For Tinubu, its about making billions from the Gas deal, anything that would stand in the way of this deal, Tinubu will destroy. All of these will come at the expense of the lives and properties in Northern Nigeria. So expect a war in the scale of the Russia and Ukraine war in that region. if the war starts and is sustained for months, don't be suprised if the Gas terminal at Warri is bombed by Russian Drones. When this war begins, it will be difficult to stop....Now is the time to stop it by all means. But my thought is that the powers behind Tinubu are so strong, he cannot call the shots, he cannot stop the war even if he wants to. Europe will freeze to death during the winter if they don't get the Gas from Nigeria. When lives in Europe are threatened, NATO will flex its muscles...i just hope Nukes will not be deployed...God abeg na your hand we dey.

Bro not only Northern Nigeria, if the North can not go to farm because of war, the South will die of hunger too. Every reasonable person must condemn this war.
