Tinubu A Western Puppet, Plans To Establish US/French Military Base In Nigeria by Bebigiby1: 11:20pm On May 04 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oab0ynrAZfc?si=AOfiIB6bhlDTFimU Tinubu warned by northern elites to reject French & US Military Base In Nigeria….. This is another dangerous precedence to weaken Nigeria’s sovereignty…. It is time for Nigerians to rise up and take back their country before it is too late…. See details of news article below as published by Daily Trust…. Some eminent northern leaders Friday cautioned against allowing the United States and the French governments to relocate their military bases from the Sahel to Nigeria. In an open letter to President Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the National Assembly, the leaders said the federal government should not succumb to such pressure. Those who signed the letter include Professor Abubakar Siddique Mohammed of the Centre for Democratic Development, Research and Training (CEDDERT), Zaria; Professor Kabiru Sulaiman Chafe, a former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, representing the Arewa Research and Development Project (ARDP), Kaduna; Professor Attahiru Muhammadu Jega, who is a former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); Professor Jibrin Ibrahim from the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), Abuja; Auwal Musa (Rafsanjani) of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CCISLAC) Abuja; and Y. Z. Ya’u from the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD), Kano. According to the letter, the American and French governments have allegedly been aggressively lobbying Nigeria, along with other Gulf of Guinea countries, to sign new defence pacts that would allow them to redeploy their troops, expelled from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. The signatories expressed concern that Nigeria, being the most strategically located among the Gulf of Guinea countries, may succumb to this pressure, thereby jeopardising its defence and internal security. “The recent expulsion of French and American troops from Niger due to their perceived ineffective presence raises questions about the efficacy of hosting foreign military bases”, the citizens said in the open letter. They also argued that the primary goal of these bases, ostensibly to combat terrorism in the Sahel, has not been achieved, as terrorism has only escalated since those camps were established. “It is important to clearly state that there are only dangers and no gains from such military operations. “The American operations in Niger Republic, for example, were ostensibly to pre-empt and uproot terrorists from the Sahel region. The result has so far been quite unimpressive, if not a complete failure. “It is apparent that the presence of American troops and other intelligence personnel in Niger Republic is not serving any useful purpose. This is for the simple reason that terrorism, far from abating, has risen dramatically since the US began its operations in the region,” they said. They also cautioned against compromising Nigeria’s sovereignty and independence for short-term strategic alliances that may have dire long-term consequences. They added that hosting foreign troops often leads to increased prices and living costs in local areas, disproportionately affecting the lower-income population. “Environmentally, the construction and operation of military bases can lead to significant degradation of the local environment. This includes deforestation, soil erosion, water contamination, and loss of biodiversity, which are detrimental to agricultural communities and indigenous populations. The long-term environmental damage could further hinder economic opportunities and sustainable development,” they said. The presidency and the National Assembly have yet to make any public comments on the open letter. https://dailytrust.com/eminent-northerners-to-tinubu-reject-bid-to-site-us-french-bases-in-nigeria/ |

Don't be ridiculous. Where did Tinubu tell you that he wants to let US and France set up military bases in Nigeria? You kids just wake up and create useless and stupid content to post on YouTube. Why don't you do something useful with yourself? 5 Likes |

Even if it is true, US has bases in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Japan, Germany, South Korea and many more better countries and the base is not affecting the economy there ooo but African politicians will tell you something else to divert away the attention of their follow follow citizens from their embezzlement. 1 Like |

How am I lying…. seem you didn’t read the post…. Here is excerpt below “According to the letter, the American and French governments have allegedly been aggressively lobbying Nigeria, along with other Gulf of Guinea countries, to sign new defence pacts that would allow them to redeploy their troops, expelled from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.” This is a dangerous precedence and must be taken seriously…. It is not a matter of party politics or sentiments…. Nigeria’s sovereignty is at stake…. ElSudani: |

Rumour or not, we don't want their base here in Nigeria. They should keep their base in their country, they will be funding the same terrorist they are fighting. |

Chai.. 1). What has Naijay-Area become without the US/French military base? Everyday killings, untouchable Fulani herdsmen, Gboko Haramites, disguised terror banditry, and Alumajiri and staunch illiteracy in the North?? 2). Does US/French need their base in Naijay-Area to destabilize Naijay-Area? Majority of the Naijay-Arean masses lack the natural endowment of reasoning. The same fact that kept them slave on their own soil. We need such military intervention. Mode/agreement of engagement are the things the government should look at. What else can be bad than the current Naijay-Arean situaSHUN |
