The way Tinubu is going about this is not right. Everything is all about dialogue, especially when it's a matter that doesn't concern you.

Even the matter that concerns you, e.g. someone owes you money, and refuses to pay back, you will still dialogue.

Buhari was chairman of ECOWAS when there was coup in Mali and the other country. He didn't do anything. Buhari is military general and he was quiet about it. Why? Because he knows the extent military officers go when provoked.

Now Tinubu is provoking Niger's military officers in their own matter. Please he should calm down o, because the entire West Africa would be on shutdown.

May God bless us all. Amen!
are you not aware tinubu sent sultan of sokoto and abdusalami abubakar and they were denied entry into Niamey. How else would a dialogue occur?

Dialague is the way out no matter how long it takes,
Even if it takes one year or 2years.
Let no one talk about war anymore.
Here in Nigeria, a lot of coups were executed by d military in d past.Some of d coupists include: Buhari, aguiyi ironsi,babangida,Abacha, etc. But with time, the land was healed back to democracy but not by war

What is happening?
Anyway, I'm glad it's happening now.
Let me adjust my December travel budget because the cost of tickets will surely increase significantly.
I'm adjusting to x2.5.
Any excess will be a bonus for vodka in January when I return.
They should please let international travellers breathe!!

Last I checked the airspace is closed to flights below FL270.

Can Niger even police their airspace ?

Do they have total radar coverage or the resources to enforce a total airspace lockdown?

They've only two rusty SU-25s and zero SAMs.

The junta is a joke.

Trust me Pal, there are many people with all sorts of weapons in that SAHEL region who can bring down MIGs talk less of passenger air craft. Remember your BOKO HARAM folk shot down a Nigerian military jet.

Dialogue don't work with military juntas, the only language they understand is war. Dialogue from now till 10 years time, it will not produce any result. Gowon tried dialogue with Ojukwu, it never yielded any result. Tinubu has already sent envoy which were not even granted access but attended to at the airport. Dialogue don't work with military coup. If there is no show of force, there is no way Niger Military junta is backing down, that's the bitter truth.

That affects Nigeria seriously.
Retaliation is the name. Very dangerous for passenger aircrafts to fly through.
Next, do not forget that the gas pipeline passes through Niger.
How BAT manages to take hasty decisions beats one’s imagination .

It can't bring down a commercial airplane because it flies too high. Those Nigeria jet if it is true they were brought down by bokoharam probably flew too low within the range of shoulder launched missiles

Hand held missile systems can not reach , track and take out high cruising aircrafts


That's why the junta limited their fly zone to low flying aircrafts

Niger is dirt poor and having one of the largest land mass on the continent to police


They have zero capabilities in enforcing a total airspace lockdown.

The only force on ground that can enforce this lockdown are the several covet US bases located in Niger.

A false flag is brewing.

Russia is not involved.

Wagner has since been cut off from the Kremlin

Wagner is now on team USA.

How you guys can not see the hand of the US in all this when the US has over 5 covet bases in Niger shows how most of you guys don't really know what's going on .
