It's Ecowas mission, not Nigerias mission

When Nigerian soldiers even police men go on peace keeping mission with UN

Do they need Senate approval?

This is ECOWAS intervention, it's not about Nigerian Army
Mumu, there is difference between peace keeping mission and full blown out war. Illiterate, even at that the senate of any country has the final say in the deployment of any of their armed forces to peace keeping or to wars.

Tinubu should be impeached for going to war against the decision of the Senate

According to Section 143 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
(as amended), here are the steps to impeach the President:


Step 1
There must be a notice of any allegation in writing alleging gross misconduct on the part of the President. This notice must be signed by not less than one-third of the members of the National Assembly (both the Senate and House of Representatives) and it is presented to the Senate President.

*Gross misconduct is defined by the Constitution as ‘a grave violation or breach of the provisions of this Constitution or a misconduct of such nature as amounts in the opinion of the National Assembly to gross misconduct.’

Step 2
The Senate President must within 7 days, serve the President and each member of the National Assembly with a copy of the notice of allegation.

Step 3
The President has a right of reply (he/she does not have to reply however), and any such statement in reply to the allegation must be served on each member of the National Assembly.

Step 4
Within 14 days of the presentation of the notice to the Senate President, each chamber of the National Assembly shall resolve by motion without any debate whether or not the allegation shall be investigated. This motion needs to be passed by at least two-thirds majority of all members of each chamber of the National Assembly.

Step 5
If the motion fails to reach the two-thirds majority, the process immediately stops, and no further action will be taken. However, if the two-thirds majority is obtained and the motion is passed, then the Senate President will within 7 days of the passing of the motion, request the Chief Justice of Nigeria to appoint a Panel of seven persons who in his opinion are of unquestionable integrity to investigate the allegations. The members of the Panel cannot be members of any public service, legislative house or political party.

Step 6
The President whose conduct is being investigated under this section shall have the right to defend himself in person and be represented before the Panel by legal practitioners of his own choice.

Step 7
A Panel shall be appointed which shall;
(a) Have such powers and exercise its functions in accordance with such procedure as may be prescribed by the National Assembly; and
(b) Within three months of its appointment report its findings to each House of the National Assembly.

Step 8
Where the Panel reports that the allegation has not been proven, there will be no further action. However, if the report is that the allegation against the President has been proven, then the National Assembly will consider the report, and a resolution for the adoption of the report shall
be moved.

Step 9
For the resolution to be adopted, it must be supported by not less than two-thirds majority of all the members of each House. Once adopted, the President shall stand removed from office as from the date of the adoption of the report.
Tinubu can never been impeached
he is backed by the UK, US and Nato

Is Nigeria a sovereign nation or a colony of the West? . Rule of law is a legal maxim that suggests that no one is above the law and governmental decisions must be made only by applying known legal and moral principles. The Rule of Law limits the powers of Government by judicial defense of laws and the Constitution which is based on recognized basic legal values, established in international law. The Rule of Law is meant to prevent dictatorship and to protect the rights of the people. The law is the highest reference point in every situation.

You can’t send any military personnel without the approval of president and senate. It most be approved.
This is not a war, that's where you got it wrong

Does Ecowas fight wars?

It's an intervention to flush out coupists

Ecowas is not fighting Niger, just want to arrest or decimate the coupists and restore democracy

Then it will turn into a war. People have the misconception that the Niger Military will keep Bazoum locked inside the presidential palace.
The Niger Military are not dumb; they know that ECOWAS soldiers will try to come to the presidential palace, so by now Bazoum may have been moved and locked anywhere in the 1,267,000 square kilometers of Niger, so it going to be a cat and mouse game war. And they might just kill Bazoum if they want. And restore democracy?, just look at the condition of Libya today after the "restoration of democracy"

This is the problem with the world in general, you see people dying instead of you to help you pick up your phone start recording, so the Senate want to debate on military activities that needs urgent action.

They thank God say no be OBJ dey power or IBB.
That is democracy, you id1ot. You want to restore democracy in Niger yet your comment portrays authoritarian mentality. You sick hypocrite. In democracy, urgent or not, the constitution must be strictly adhere to, else you are in for treason. You can't send our soldiers to die in senseless proxy war without nass approval, deal with it. You all stup1d self proclaimed democracy champions have authoritarian tendency deep down.

These ones just woke up after ecowas has come out and said they are not going to war.

I thought they are being killed in the middle belt? And rather than take up placards and block the streets to demand for autonomy to better protect themselves now that they have a lightning rod president, they too have jumped on the bandwagon to chase shadow just because they see a low hanging fruit.

Niger right now is more peaceful than Middle Belt and this is what they use their energy on.

The United States of America is using Tinubu's dark past records to cajole him into sending troops into Niger.

And when that happens, things will escalate and blow out of proportion.

That way, our resources like crude and that of Niger's Uranium will be bought at a give away price, in return they will supply ammunition.

I am not a supporter of Tinubu or APC, but he should tread carefully

Which military personnel will be the largest among them?

Mali and Burkina Faso also have military leadership. Have you asked yourself why ECOWAS isn't interested in invading those countries? Why did they suddenly become interested when military took over in Niger?

Yes, why the special interest in Niger?

Is it because Niger is where France's Natural resource is deposited?

Re: It’s Treasonable To Deploy Nigerian Army To Niger Without Senate Approval — MBF by MetaPhysical: 5:17am On Aug 13, 2023
MBF is correct, but also wrong.

Correct in the sense that Constitution is specific in saying "except with prior approval of Senate, no member of the AFN shall be deployed on combat duty outside Nigeria".

Wrong in the sense that, this is not Nigeria vs Niger, but Ecowas vs Niger. They also fail to imagine the narrative of peace mission to Niger. The President could declare he is sending a peace contingent, and thus side step Senate. It is not war, it is not combat....it is a peace mission. They are very wrong, and I might say deliberately mischievious in stating that failure to obtain Senate approval is treasonable. The word "treasonable" has become a buzz word lately and everyone is just throwing it, ineffectively, to cower their opponent.

When Constitution use the term " SHALL", it carries force and compliance is not negotiable. It removes all permissible instances under which the restriction could be then waived. So the offense of treason is not even possible, period! So it beats my mind to understand how MBF has found it convenient to attach treason to that statute to begin with. No where in constitution does it make it treasonable if the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces deploys his men and women to combat a foreign threat.
