Which kind of wahala is this?

Now the saved subsidy removal funds will be used to finance this war.

It's probably going to be an endless war because of too many interest involved.

it is not a war, it is a military intervention. it is not about Nigeria, it's about ecowas. It is a family affair. If one of your family members is facing crisis, the head of the family must intervene.
Get knowledge, in all thy getting, get understanding. Don't be driven by hatred.

Tinubu has finally declared war on Hausas, having heard that Hausas makes up about 50% of Niger population.

Northerners should ask themselves this question; If Niger shares common Boundary with Ogun, Osun, Oyo and Ondo would Tinubu still talk about invading Niger?

Anyway, this War will favour me and my family grin

Buhari put all Nigeria money and investment in Niger thinking he would retire there. Lol
I support this military action with all my chest. No country surrounding Nigeria must mess with us or disrespect us like Niger did… never again! The global disrespect we got before now must not reach Niger, Cameroon, Chad, Togo and Benin.

A combination of Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger cannot wage war against Kaduna and Kano state not to talk about the entire Nigeria. Russia has shown no military interest in Niger and the US would never intervene in an African hostility, after dead bodies of American soldiers were shown in TV sartions all over the world during the battle of Mogadishu.
Wars are the most unpredictable of human endeavours. Once the hostility starts, you can never predict the outcome. Numbers and weaponry alone don't necessarily determine the outcome of wars, other factors like motivation, terrain, organisational capabilities, alliances, weather and sometimes pure luck plays crucial roles, else US would not have lost to Vietnam, Russia would have taken over Ukraine within days.

US would never send in boots to fight in Niger, they would only send in weapons and help with communication and intelligence.
Russia is looking to extend its influence in Africa and the Niger crisis would present a perfect opportunity to have allies. Russia would not be directly involved, it will only send in Wagner forces - openly or clandestinely.



Bro I agree that you have deep understanding in legal proceedings, but when it comes to military history and diplomacy leave it for those who are born to analyze such.
President Tinubu also does not have a good understanding of diplomacy and history. He never consulted historians or diplomats before issuing threats and declaring ultimatums. He complicated the situation right from the beginning.


I still remembered the very first time you quoted me and you said " Britain has never lost a battle" that was some years back and I reminded you of how Britain lost the American war of independence.
Maybe you misunderstood me. What I meant to say was Britain was never conquered. Julius Ceaser and Danes conquered parts of it, but was never able to subjugate the whole island before they were driven out.

Furthermore, I view the US war of independence as war among brothers. George Washington and a bulk of his soldiers were of British roots and trained by Britain.

Anyway, this is your take home: The worst democracy is better than the best military.

If you do not understand the statement above consult an expert in economics, government, and international relations.

Shalom!!!

How have we fared after 24 years of continuous democracy? Compared that to how China fared after 24 years of continuous autocracy. I am not in anyway advocating for military rule, but democracy seems to favour only the ruling class.

Now if democracy is working, the military would not have any excuse to come in. Ask your self why ordinary people come put to celebrate military coups if they were enjoying democracy so much.

Military standby Not full action, why do nairaland always carry fake news? Standby is different from full action. The are still going about it diplomatically but military on standby. Seun, nlfpmod, mynd44. Always get the right info before hurry to post stuffs. Someone just clipped few seconds and claimed military action, haba.

The problem is that these reporters also want to sell their news and no one cares to get the full details of the new.

The option of Military was considered as the last resort when all diplomatic means have been exploited

ECOWAS decision is not final. The president needs the consent of Nigeria's legislature. That's the beauty of democracy.
In military rule, the president would have attacked Niger by now.

No be Ecowas na Tinubu because he's the chairman. The head of any government is held accountable for the actions of his ministers whether good or bad.

That's why DSS is now only charging Emefiele for illegal possession of fire arms because if they charge him over his past policies Buhari's government will be called upon.

Don't worry, by the time African Union issue a support order for Military intervention in Niger republic, the coup plotters will know whatsup.

Stupidity is when you cannot extinguish the fire in your home and you want to go and extinguish the fire in the home of your neighbor.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is being teleguided from Daura.
It is really a shame that Nigerian government has no foreign policy, therefore the President of Nigeria is not capable of addressing the implications of his ignorance of the international politics of the foreign powers manipulations of the political crisis in the Republic of Niger.

Oga keep quiet if you have nothing sensible to say..

ECOWAS countries coming together to act against Niger republic junta and likely civil war looming there is for our own benefit in Nigeria cos the fallout from whatever happens in Niger will fall right on Nigeria.

If not that you're a bad person yourself with questionable character, you'd see everything wrong with an illegitimate take over of power in Niger republic.

Military intervention would not involve Niger alone, it will also involve Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad and Guinea, and not forgeting Wagner. The whole of Nigeria's northern border will be affected. It will just become another proxy war between Russia and USA. Except the US promises to finance the war, I don't subscribe to wasting our little earnings and gains from subsidy on a senseless war.
There would never be a full blown war, Ecomog military involvement in Niger is geared towards democratic restoration and stability in Niger. Since the coupist has declined peaceful resolutions, Ecomog would match on Niemey to oust the military leader who came into power through coup.

It should be noted that a combination of Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger cannot wage war against Kaduna and Kano states not to talk of the entire Nigeria and ECOWAS at large. Russia has shown no military interest in Niger and the US would never intervene in an African hostility, after dead bodies of American soldiers were shown on TV stations around the world during the battle of Mogadishu.

I still remembered the very first time you quoted me and you said " Britain has never lost a battle" that was some years back and I reminded you of how Britain lost the American war of independence.

Bro I agree that you do have deep understanding in legal proceedings, but when it comes to military history and diplomacy leave it for those who are well abreast to make analysis and predict the outcome of eventualities. No offense directed and no offense should be taken.

In order to have peace, you must first prepare for war..

You can't live forever quite alright so you shouldn't be afraid of death cos it's inevitable..

That said, I am confident the ECOWAS troops will be professional in their conducts in Niger republic and I wish them absolute success, zero civilian casualty.

If atal I had a past life, then I'm 99 percent convinced I was in the Military line, a high ranking soldier at that cos I've had several flash backs in camouflage.
