Niger's Coup Threatens $2 Billion Gas Pipeline Vital for Europe, While Nigeria's Strategic Moves Reveal Complex Power Play

So guys, concerning the Niger war and where Nigeria stands in it.

I did a little research as usual and noticed a staggering $2bn worth of oil investment is at risk here and this may explain the West's interest in reinstating a democratic rule.

A quick Google search will show you that there is this MAJOR TRANS-SAHARAN GAS PIPELINE (about 48" wide) that runs all the way from Egbokodo-Omadino, Warri & goes all the way from Nigeria through Niger to Algeria, Morocco and Europe (Lisbon, Spain & Italy)


It's a $2bn investment and has the capacity of transporting 12 - 30billion cubic metre (bcm) of oil/yr.

This used to amount to about 14% of Europe's gas supply pre-Russia-Ukarine war.... before the Nordstream pipeline was blown up by the US.

Now that percentage has shot up to about 20 - 25% of Europe's gas supply annually due to the ongoing conflict in Ukarine

I guess the West never anticipated this military overtake in Niger because if they did they wouldn't have blown up the Nordstream pipeline... it's like shooting themselves in the foot!

Now guess what, the current Niger coup threatens to shut down that stream of supply that runs through their country to Europe 🤔

What this means is that apart from Uranium, Europe also stands the chance to lose out on about 30bcm of oil per year.

So it is safe to say ECOWAS gearing up for a tactical offensive on the military 'junta' in Niger in other to restore democratic rule is nothing but a smokescreen to cover up the fact that they have huge business interests to protect.

With Russia lending a shoulder to African leaders with[b] more than 15 African countries signing an MOU with the Russian army[/b] it's a losing battle for Europe.

Okay .. now that we have this cleared up I want u to think back to the last time you heard of a pipeline explosion or vandalism by militants in the Niger-Delta.

Anyone?!
Crickets 🦗
No idea right?

That's because it's been a long-ass while... since 2016 or 18 I think. Those guys are being settled per day.

In fact, the pipeline security contract given to Tompolo, a former Nigerian militant commander of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta and the chief priest of the Egbesu deity, which is the Niger-Deltan god of war runs into billions per month.

Oh wow! 🤔

Now I'll give you a chance to guess how much the security contract is worth...

It's a freaking 48bn Naira/yr worth of contract.
Or 4.15bn/month. and this was given to an ex-criminal.

Lol let me break this down for you ..

You know, numbers could be confusing.

4 billion Naira at an exchange rate of 870 Naira to the dollar (online rate) is approximately $4,597,701.15

Tompolo gets $4.6milla in USD monthly

I laugh in Mandarin

No wonder Asari Dokubo is now playing to the gallery for BAT to give him 1 new contract because it's obvos a winner takes it all game.

So if you think Nigeria won't be heavily influenced by the West to push a military offensive ops in Niger using ECOWAS then think again!


Now if you go back to my last post here on NL (https://www.nairaland.com/7763859/anyone-else-noticed-current-online)

...about how the current Media War is playing out in Nigeria against the Igbos since the last presidential elections you'll see a description of how the oil giants (all affiliated to Rockefellers Shell Oil Company) are running the game with sheer impudence.

And the only way this is possible and has been going on is simple -- they install their puppeteers as public office holders to do their dirty bidding for them.

Which is why I insist that the only way IPOB or any other separatist group can gain government attention is by targeting pipelines, Uranium mines or any other international siphoning medium... You know... maybe blowing them up & owning up to it just the same way Tompolo and co did.

This web of intrigue peaks in a plea for unity beyond tribal divisions amongst us.

Unmasking the covert ops by foreign powers, it's time for Africa to reclaim independence, while recognizing that internal strife only advances external agendas.

It's a complex dance of power, and only by standing united can Africa break free from the chains of exploitation


In conclusion, the way Nigeria and Africa can regain her independence & grow is ONLY if the unitedly boot US, FRANCE, PORTUGAL, SPAIN, GERMANS and other blood sucking criminal warlords the heck out of Africa!

So this Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba fight is nothing but a distraction tactics that has worked over time for the colonial Lords and should be swept aside and unity embraced.

But naah!! You guys are in love with bloodstained foreign currencies. Monies soiled with the blood of your brothers and unborn kids.

Ever wondered why Buhari kept on constructing business structures linking Niger and Nigeria?? This is why!

Not because he from Niger but because his masters has business interests in both countries and would do anything in the world to keep business running smoothly even if it means killing you and I.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 👍

...know that the more you hate on Igbos or any other tribe the more the enemy (the West) gains more advantage over you

Funny thing is, the West doesn't even have to pull the trigger anymore to kill us. They simply instigate tribal violence and let us kill ourselves by ourselves.

Coup d'grace! The ultimate sucker punch! SMH for Nigeria.

There's no problem

I guess you meant- this regime will favor me and my family abi? 🤡

Just went tru your other posts mehn... Both Bubu, BAT, GEJ et al na bast.rds

I really don't see Nigeria doing what Niger did with or without Russian affiliation bruh

And why can't I upload pics here?? Its not just Niger, Morocco and Algeria but that particular pipeline supplies gas to the Gulf of Guinea of the Atlantic Ocean- Cape Lopez in Gabon, north and west to Cape Palmas in Liberia. It's a global interconnected pipleline

Waooh.. You nailed it!!


1. So anytime igbo, Yoruba and Hausa are fighting each other.. The foreign micromanagers of Nigeria GAINS.
2. Nigeria is ALL ABOUT OIL & GAS, not Democracy or Humanity.
3. Africa is all about mineral Resources, not humanity..

Unfortunately, 90% of Africans are gullible, myopic and parochial. We hardly stand for something.

Former Petroleum minister of Nigeria said.. He is for nobody. His for everybody. Meaning, he is for nothing.

Hope it wouldn't be too late before we regain Consciousness in Africa and Nigeria.

Imagine country wey give ex criminal 4 Billy per month to protect what he would have formerly put some C4s on and blown to pieces.

How much Mbappe dey collect ?? Chai Nigeria!!

Where did we got it wrong?
If it continues in this direction... i pity the generation yet unborn

This is to show you that they are not fighting for anything democracy. Africans remember what happened in Libya.

Nah.. Biochemistry and Brewing but I have peeps in the oil sector with Chevron and ExxonMobil.

So we know how shit goes down. It's not even hidden anymore it's done in broad daylight.

As we speak all soldiers in Ojo barracks are being drafted to the Niger-Nigeria border taking preps and mission briefings under ECOWAS in a joint task force comprising of W.A soldiers and US. Lots of military gears and camps have been set up already as we speak.

It's serious shit
