LoL 😝

If ecowas forces attack Niger republic,

Niger forces should just come to Lagos to revenge

So you do not know Nigerien forces are already all over Lagos? Not just Lagos, all the states of the south west. Not just there but all over Nigeria. From east to SS.
Dont you know all those abokis you see changing money, all the abokis that dominate okada riding all over the SW, SE and SS are mostly from Niger?
On radio on Monday, during a phone in program, someone called in, spoke of the agbero and okada riders fight over money in his area, He said after the fight was settled, all the bikers were saying was that Tinubu wanted to attack their country and bring war to them. They said Nigerians will know how far when they too start their own wahala.

JOemmy:
Modern war like the one currently going on in Ukraine?

of course

Mordern war or Ancient war no one is good. All the road they will destroy, all facilities they will bomb, all economic sanctions on the country, who will bear it? can they be go to work or move as usual. Please tell me is Biafra war an ancient war? Loose is still unbearable

How many civilians dey die during Army vs Boko haram or bandits confrontation? Ordinarily in our societies, when cultists dey fight with guns, how many civilians them dey kill?

histemple:
ECOWAS leaders detest democracy and have not shown even the slightest pretention of allowing its existence. Just look at Paul Biya of Cameroon, he has been in power since 1982 and does not allow free speech or opposition. He is among those pretending to want to "restore" democracy. Isn't that laughable?

These ECOWAS civilian despots are not against the coup in Niger because they believe in democracy. It is essentially about self-preservation for them. Their knee-jerk reaction is actuated by the fear that the same fate may befall them, and NOTHING more.

Tinubu is being pushed by the west to start a war that will cripple ECOWAS, particularly Nigeria, whose economy is already on tatters.

I align myself with these protesters because any war between Nigeria and Niger Republic will have devastating consequences on the civilian population of the two countries. You must have killed over a hundred civilians before killing one of the coupists.

Any move against Nigeriens is a move against the North Tinubu should rather rely on diplomatic measures by using Northern elites and leaders including past presidents from North to further diplomatic discussions with the military junta in Niger than applying direct military force…

Make this man use em head make e no be like how he unguardedly pronounced SUBSIDY IS GONE a statement he is not suppose to make at the time.

PO is coming…

a4cube:
Northerners did not say so. Buhari did and you know but voted for him because he will treat igbos bad.

Is Buhari a southerner? And was he speaking for the South or North when he made that statement? It is always one person that exposes a gossip, and not everybody.

Chucks13:
Why going SW now? Bro I'm not from SW but I'm 100% on their side and nothing 1 million of you can do about it.

You like it or not Tinubu will spend 8 years.

By 2031 its Ribadu or Marwa.

By 2038 it Imomulen of Edo or Wike of River.

In 2046 its going back North bro.

Quote me if you are lucky to still be alive then.

U are not well.

Femiwilli:
Tinubu never see anything.

He wants to use war & finish the North

Tinubu's hands are tied he has to settle the western world or they will drag him in the media

I told someone that the major reason tinubu is pushing for this war is because he wants to gain legitimacy in the international community.

FreeStuffsNG:
There will be no war

who told you,by then we will know the Nigerian living with hypertension

optimusprime2:
What are you talking about?
Before I start my analysis, I want you to take note of three very important Highlights;
1:It was a Bloodless coup
2: It was a successful coup
3: The People of Niger were very Happy with the results of the coup

WIth that Being said;

First of all, the approach B.A.T took as the Head of ECOWAS was very wrong on various levels... His first contact with the military Junta in Niger after a successful coup, was with a threat, force sanctions and an ultimatum... Tinubu totally blewout the opportunity for a proper diplomatic resolve with his first contact-which is why Abdulsalam Abubakar's visit was in vain.

Secondly; Three coups had previously taken place in the Bloc and Nana Akufo-Addo knew better, than to respond militarily to a sucessful coup, especially in the case of Burkina-Faso that directly borders Ghana (Like Nigeria and Niger) instead he spear headed a deal with Burkina Faso that offered a timeline for the Military to return power back to civillian democracy ... Why is ECOWAS suddenly pressed hard to respond... is it because, in this case France has a direct loss (I know B.A.T literally dines with France, but who were his advisers on this issue).

Thirdly: Have you not noticed these coups have one thing in common, (Francophone countries) trying to break lose from imperialism? which is why the people are majorly in support of all the Military coups in Guinea, Mali, Burkina-Faso and currently Niger.
What concerns Nigeria in this unnecessary military intervention that is potentially a regional war since the people are fully behind their military Juntas? When Nigeria had it's own Military period, what did ECOWAS do?? was it not still diplomacy??

Fourthly: Don't you think West African leaders even have problems, for them not seeing this is obviously a plot?? What is the Wagner group even doing in West Africa in the first place??

Fifth: The Humanitarian crisis that will occur is something they do not even factor in... War creates refugee's currently IDP's are all over nothern Nigeria because of the insurgency issues, combining it with new refugee's and there would be chaos...

Mhan... this is not even the time to keep quiet and allow Nigeria/Niger become a weapons testing ground for some actors, because it is not going to be funny at all...

I must commend your constructive criticism which is scarce on this platform but I have a few counters .

1) being a bloodless coup does not mean that it’s not a coup and illegal .

2) that it was a successful coup does not mean that it can not be reversed.

3)that the people (groups of people) are happy with the outcome does not means that it’s the right thing to do,we’ve seen people hailing known thieves ,if they’re not happy with their president ,they have the right to vote against him at the polls.

4) people took power by force ,you don’t beg them to return the power ,you reason with them (your word must have power/force ) or else it will be dismissed weakly .

5) that previous coup was successful but the previous ECOWAS chairman was weak and could not do anything emboldened other coupists to make their love ,if the then chairman had used force against them ,others will not try such nonsense .

6) because the countries that had fallen into usurpers are francophone countries does not means that it will not spread to anglophone countries too ,that’s why it must be nip in the bud .


7) fighting against imperialism is important but you don’t fight an imperialist to run to another imperialist.

I don’t know BAT reason for wanting to invade ,it might be because he’s in bed worth France but I as a Nigerian citizen,I think it’s a right move so that other usurpers will think twice before making drastic decisions.

9) that the then chairman of ECOWAS did not do the right thing when Nigeria fell into military rule or that last chairman did not invade Mali and co when they fell to military rule does not means that the current chairman can not make the right decision. It’s not too late to do the right thing .

10) it’s the usurpers that are inviting Wagners ,can you see that they’re not thinking or just fighting for their own pocket ?

11) the humanitarian crisis that will follow if Nigeria did not intervene will be much more than if we intervene.

12) testing ground or not ,west Africa must decide their fate and ECOWAS has spoken .

grandstar:
Have you noticed his peeing problem vamoosed after he won the election? Have you noticed he hadn't made any Habu buba speech?

My relation who is a small APC cell said he might have been suggested by the some in APC to behave like an invalid so the Northerners to think he'll either die in office or stay only one term.

Suddenly the maestro seems to be in the best of health.

That's exactly what he did. That's how he decided the north to vote for him instead of their brother, Atiku.

Northerners would always choose their brother, but they prefer Shettima to Atiku because Atiku is more liberal unlike Shettima

That man Tinubu-underestimste him at your peril.

I'm not sure if Shettima got more votes in the North but he's definitely seen as more conservative than Atiku.

What if was a 2 man race- between Atiku and Obi- who do you think would win? Atiku would in my opinion. Atiku is someone politicians can make deals with unlike Obi. Wike chose Tinubu over Obi.

Was Nigeria ever a country?

HydraFeeds:
Diplomacy is important but if talk fail ,action must follow .

Coup must be tamed in west Africa else the whole region will be destabilized .

Also,it will make ECOWAS look bad if diplomacy failed but action did not follow .

Oga go and be conscripted and posted to the border at lilela in Sokoto

Between Obi and Atiku, politicians would prefer Atiku but the masses would prefer Obi, and Nigerian (abi worldwide) politics is less an affair of the masses

Artzdanielsz:
There won't be protest if it was still Buhari. That was how they protested during Goodluck time when he wanted to go full force on bk boys.

All this grammar to support balablu, bros you're not making sense atall

Sunnyski:
No matter the protests, the war must go on.

It's time the northern region see python dance and they are gonna shade some crocodile 🐊 tears 💃

And you think you will escape the judgement of God because you're living in the southwest, karma will catch up with all you vampires supporting bloodshed and anarchy

Which side in Kano ? I no even here it

Kano politics is unique indeed. Many things happened that worth protest but none protest but this one has scary aftermath that’s why. Okay oo

YouAreNobody:

The Southwest would prefer to vote Atiku rather than Peter Obi. I'm Yoruba and live in Lagos.

All Atiku has to do is pick a Yoruba candidate and the win is sealed!

shepherd316:

You not understanding it

Which ECOWAS? The ones that have all run away and closed their doors.


Tinubu is on his own. He wanted to use ECOWAS to stay in power,but they smart pass am

Maybe he will recruit 50 million youths from south west to go the war

oluwaseyi0:
for the sake of Northerners I want ECOWAS to oust out that coupist in Niger

Imagine Peter Obi winning presidential election and one military kiddo decide to perform a coup because he doesn't like the president

EyeCumInPiece:
Make dem relax - there ain't gonna be no war.
North, SS, SE not gonna fight no war.
So who go fight the war? Agbado munchers?

Note: If you wake up to hear agbado munchers beating drums of war, just go back to sleep. ~IBB

Please tell me you made that quote up. That was hilarious.

Protesters Floods Streets Of Kano Over Ecowas Planned Military Coup Invasion On Niger

adebayo987:
Is Buhari a southerner? And was he speaking for the South or North when he made that statement? It is always one person that exposes a gossip, and not everybody.

So that time tinubu said fulani and Yorubas are one, does it mean the Yorubas said fulani and yorubas are one?

adebayo987:
This northerners sef. Na wa o! Na so them say attack on Boko haram is an attack on the North... of course we knew the aftermaths. When we dey do reasonable protest like #Endsars (police brutality) them no follow us o. Buhari their brother destroy the economy, them no ask am to resign or protest against am. Na Niger crime lords (juntas) them care about... Who dey attack Niger? ECOWAS wan attack some junta criminals that hijacked Niger government from the people (democracy) to the military and restore democracy there. Which one be attack on Niger? Una dey confuse modern war with ancient war wey them dey kill both fowl and goats join. Na wa o!

Foollll....they're trying to get France out... France should leave. Whats democracy wen the president us a puppet ?

U09ce:
More reason why military intervention should not be on the table. Same way the northerners are protesting on the Niger conundrum is same way the SWers will do if Nigeria threatens to attack Benin Republican or Togo.

I highly doubt that Swers will do such.

tunjilana:
The military will never sanitize any system bro....we had them in Nigeria for almost 30 years.

It is shocking that we all see this as new. Military men chanting populist rhetorics to gain legitimacy isnt something new.

Coups cant solve our problems, only democracy can. The sad part is that we wont even be able to talk or have any hope of changing things every 4 years.

Go and check Murtala Mohammed's OAU speech when he took power, it isn't different from the coup plotter's claims. Let me tell you the playbook for coupists

1- They wait for morale to be low or democracy to be at a difficult point
2- They snatch power and chant populist rhetorics knowing well that sections of the population already hated the deposed civilian ruler and will subtly support them
3- They begin to do exactly same or worse than the deposed ruler
4- They shut out people and noone can talk
5- Their colleagues in the military will leverage the mood and engage foreign powers who aint aligned with the current military ruler, to plan a coup and send out the military ruler.
6- step 5 continues for many years
7- The masses realise their foolishness and begin to clamor for democratic rule again, amidst heavy persecution
8- The will of the masses may succeed and we revert to democracy after wastig decades under uproducive authocratic leaders


Nothing beats the power to organise yourselves and make statements via the ballot every 4 years

Democracy can only work when we have a system which can withstand corruption. An average Nigerian is unpatriotic, corrupt and selfish with all these qualities democracy becomes tribalistic.

Obi got considerable votes in the SW. Even won Lagos.
I prefer Atiku to Tinubu though, but if osibanjo was on the ballot, I'd be happy if either him or Obi
