Why ECOWAS no send troops to Nigeria

Nigeria is under an Islamic rulership already.
They just need to reduce the number of Nigerians practicing other religions.

America is part of this conspiracy.

Why ECOWAS no send troops to Nigeria

There is no active coup attempt in Nigeria.

Wow so fast. Why don't govt respond these fast when villages are under attack in Nigeria

Tinubu is using Nigerias military and diplomatic assets to vigorously entrench and prolong French imperialism and neo colonialism in West Africa!
Lots of you will rush to defend him as usual, but this is not kiriji politics.

By avoiding Nigerias traditional diplomatic style of not taking sides, he is pushing this country into a confrontation with some aggrieved super powers like Russia and her allies. Some of these coups were planned, and organised outside the shores of the continent by powers with far reaching military capabilities..

Don't be fooled my people..
The Nigerian government is trying to pass these whole military intervention off as a move orchestrated to "defend democracy", but nothing can be farther from the truth.
They are not defending democracy. They're defending imperialism..

From his ill-fated attempt to attack the Sahel states of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso, to his endless hobnobbing with all the discredited tyrants in different presidential mansions all over Africa, Tinubu seems desparate to "thank" his foreign benefactors by supporting their impositions here..
That may backfire on all of us..

So David Hundeyin was right?

So nothing like respecting Benin Republic sovereignty again?

I hope ECOWAS will welcome US Army to Nigeria?

ECOWAS has become a pseudonym for France

AqualinaXYZ:
Tinubu mumu shaaa



See how fast they’re responding to coup



But bandits dey do carnival every day with human blood they no see



Cocaine dey really spoil brain

President Tinubu is no longer the Chairman of ECOWAS. You didn't know this because of your hatred for the man. What a public display of ignorance!!

COMRADES, this ECOWAS self, wetin dey worry una did Benin Republic needed una eye service troops?
Small small en go soon reach everywhere for Africa

It’s Benin that you can harass. Anyway we say no to any military takeover. Democracy must be sustained

Agbaya!!!
una no fit make move on elephants na for ant side una know how to show muscle.

David Hundeyin is wrong. The governments of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger have been in an entrenched state of disaster, weakening their armies. I support the coup if it is to remove a useless and corrupt government, but a military government should be prepared to hand over to a civilian government within 6 months.

We thought you said Tinubu contained it?

Abi na lamba?

In the same way, pursuant to the American resolve in peace and religious freedom, I support American intervention in Nigeria.

Na from the 65000 soldiers wey we dey manage we still want remove from inside send go Benin?

Is only who don't know military regime will support coup, the military always end up being corrupt than the democratical elected government. The worse democratical government is better than the best military government.

Tinubu orders deployment of troops to Be in Republic

Please always talk about what you know, so you don't fool yourself amongst others. Tinubu is not the chairman of ECOWAS & as such didn't take this decision. Learn to always focus on the subject of discussion rather than being a nuisance on nairaland.

Why and what for?
When are they doing same for other military led government

Osuman:
Is only who don't know military regime will support coup, the military always end up being corrupt than the democratical elected government. The worse democratical government is better than the best military government.

As soon as it is not your etthnic or same reliigious president in power, your opinion will change.

Who ever remembers Liberia war will know what nigeria did has part of ecomog. I don't know if we still have ecomog? If benin President request for it ecowas will answer him. Nigeria situation is different terrorism is an internal issue and is settled internally. Nigeria has an obligation to meet with ecowas. Our monster is within us and only us can tame our monster. Did we intervene in cameroun problem no cos it's an internal affairs.

Be smart.

ECOWAS currently has 12 active member states, and the President of Sierra Leone is the sitting chairman.

When a security-related directive is issued, member states are expected to respond.

Benin’s legit government called for backup, and Nigeria had no choice but to roll in. When a coup is happening, sovereignty there, it’s already shattered. Respecting Benin’s sovereignty meant protecting it like Nigeria and others did.

And the way folks keep hyping up military takeovers is insane. Yeah, corruption in Africa sucks, but wait till a junta takes charge. Then it’s whatever the general says, period. No protests, no crying to the courts, no appeals, just the military calling every shot. That’s when you’ll realize you traded one problem for a nightmare.

This Nigerian government noor really sabi wetin dem dey do again ooo. Despite all that is happening on the home front, the mofos still dey do big brother nonsense upandan

It's a sin to be weak sha u can't try this nonsense in some countries ur foreign troops will definitely return in body bags.

Africa is morphing. Interesting times

What about the Islamist coup that has taken place in Nigeria ?

you remember Tinubu is ECOWAS Chairman, see how fast he's responding to coup mater around him, but when it comes to save guarding the lives of Nigerians, he becomes a ded man, isn't that what we call unfortunate human being or a ma d man

The useless figurehead ECOWAS has been seating as a lame duck. A body that has no relevance besides its name.
