It's a good step. Form a strong bond against western imperialism.

rebirthkennedy:
Their confederation will be stronger & more formidable than that of ECOWAS
Believe this
Yes bro I believe this. Ecowas are just west puppet. This new block will have their own currency, do business freely that favor their interest more. They should go ahead.

And they will still have to use ECOWAS ports, fly through Ecowas countries, depend on ecowas for every aspect of their economy including electricity and education.

Must be nice to live in such grand delusion
Lol, Morocco and Algeria already reach out to do all this for this new block. They should go ahead.

You don't understand the situation

Which country will reject free money?

Will Nigeria reject the chance to earn money off shipping Niger's uranium to it's eventual destination?

I don't think so. The smart thing to do would be to increase the fee levied at the port.

We need as much revenue as possible.

They warned Nigeria last week not to fly non commercial aircraft over their country. I thought Emilokan propaganda machine would have used their stale and now weak line of blaming igbos for the woe but surprisingly he kept quiet…imagine ordinary Niger now warning Nigeria. They also stopped using Nigerian ports and have now signed agreement with Benin to use their port…smh
Na you carry igbo matter enter topic wey nobody dey talk about igbo.

I knew this would eventually happen, this is the result of ECOWAS failure to remove them

But I wonder how these landlocked countries will survive on their own without the rest of the regional block, some of them still depend heavily on their neighbors for so many things


By helping your neighbor, you are also helping yourself.

A stable Niger republic and ECOWAS will definitely benefit Nigeria
Is Nigeria itself stable or because of our level of education, civilization and orientation that is making Nigerians to exercise restraint

Military fools riding on NATIONALISM!!!

This gra gra will further push them towards Hunger.

History has taught us that African Military men know NOTHING about managing a Country.

No ideas but Guns!
You can say that again.I wonder how they intend to adequately cope,all three being landlocked countries.
Re: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger Confirm Plan To Form New Confederation by ycat: 6:26am On Feb 16, 2024
They are sovereign countries and will figure it out on their own. They no longer want to depend on their neighbors and that's why they violated the rules and will live by their decision.

Re: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger Confirm Plan To Form New Confederation by HRMK: 6:34am On Feb 16, 2024

You will not really blame people for that type of reaction. The blacks have a problem of fathoming the possibility of bravery of their kind. They may not have issues with a UK leaving EU, but can't just live with the reality of equal aggression of their kind.

Why not wait and see? Stop assuming. These children sef
Your last statement depicts exactly who you probably are....A child.

You can read about the high hopes of landlocked Mauritania pulling out of ECOWAS, banking on Isreal...just as these military juntas are banking on Russia now..and see why they have to run back to ECOWAS signing a treaty in 2017.

Countries that are landlocked cannot be flexing muscles around countries that have essential infrastructures required for trade liberalisation.

Their currency will be worse than Naira almost immediately.

It is all business. As part of ECOWAS, the amount they pay is reduced. Now, they will be billed as non-ECOWAS countries

You can't give what you do not have
Are you talking about the Epilepsy Electricity or the higher numbers of unemployment rate
Tell me what is sufficient enough in Nigeria or Ecowas at large
It been months they withdrew as a member of Ecowas
Yet they ain't as hungry as Ekiti pple

No sense in that. The 3 are land-locked countries and still their neighbour's borders.

Tinubu may be an Asshole, and leader of ECOWAS, the idea of leaving ECOWAS is what i dont buy, and for the record, its a big deal.
