I was just watching a foreign media analysis of the events in Benin Republic just now and you can easily see that most international commentators are very much aware that Nigeria is being used by the French to entrench the French ruthless subjugation of her former West African territories. This is alarming, although most pro APC Internet hire lings seem to think that these events are the sort to brag about. All of a sudden , under this administration, Nigeria that used to be a source of help to pro African forces across the continent, is now the country that is ready to go to war in order to keep fellow African States in check for the west.

This is not the first time that Tinubu has felt a pressing need to unleash Nigerias waining military might on fellow West African countries in order to protect very unpopular pro western governments in these places. Few weeks after he assumed office as the president of Nigeria and the head of ECOWAS, Tinubu came close to declaring war on three West African countries, namely; Mali 🇲🇱, Burkina Faso and Niger 🇳🇪. His immediate grouse being the overthrow of the government in Niamey. His increasingly belligerent utterances ultimately led the three countries to declare a military pact that requires the three to fight together against any country or group of countries that attacks them! It was a game changer..

Now Benin Republic!
A coup was announced by Benins junior militaty officers few hours ago. To all watchers, the officers were already cruising to victory as the western puppet of a president, Mr Talon, disappeared into his rat-hole hiding from his people. The people of Benin Republic who seem to have grown really tired of their French subjugators basically welcomed the coup. There were no protests even in the capital Cotonou. The young coupits were heading to victory in the mode of Captain Traore of Burkina Faso and the other military leaders in Mali and Niger when Tinubu in his messaic state, ordered The Nigerian Airforce to join the French military in subduing the coup. Almost the same way Nigeria allowed the French and the Americans to shoot their way into the Ivorian Presidential mansion to remove President Gbagbo and impose Quattarra, in clear violation of international laws..
Nigeria Airforce actually "bombed" some parts of Benin as a result.
This will surely elicit some sort of consequences for Nigeria and Nigerians internationally.. Let's look at the possibilities..

1)
Nigerians should be bracing up for a fast growing anti Nigeria feelings across the west African subregion in particular, and also across Africa and the black world in general. The reasons are very simple; these administrations across the west African region that are being removed in these series of coups are mainly regimes that were surreptitiously imposed by the imperialistic Western powers, especially the restless French. As a result, these regimes have basically pauperised the citizens of these people to favour the French. Take Niger Republic as an example. Niger exports most of her uranium to France for nothing until the military putsch. Now the country is racking in billions of dollars annually from the sales of the same product. Infact, villages around the uranium sites were left impoverished without amenities. Their only gain was being perennially exposed to radiation. Essentially the coup was like a saving grace and the people of Niger will see anyone/people trying to reverse that coup as supporters of their oppressors.

2)
Nigeria exposes herself to the possibility of having other nations getting involved in her domestic political affairs. It is very simple; if you thrive in dabbling into the domestic issues of other countries, you too will find yourself in similar realities especially with Nigerias pronounced political/religious/ethnic/regional vulnerabilities. Infact, few weeks ago, we had the Americans threatening to basically bomb Nigeria! That should have been an eye opener for policy makers in Abuja. Nigeria has peculiar realities that can easily attract other countries to choose sides. Especially in the context of our dibbilitating ethnic politics. Matters are not helped by the fact that Nigerias military struggles these days against ragtag insurgent groups. Foreign countries unhappy with Nigerias penchant for military strikes outside her shores might want to muddle the waters internally here to keep Nigerians busy..

3)
This is where it becomes very dangerous!
Most of these coups didn't just happen. I mean, what me and you see are a bunch of badly dressed military officers of a struggling West African army reading out wayward orders on national TV. But what should worry policy makers in the region is to know the real identities of the backers of these coups. I mean the powerful nations backing these regional attempts to wrestle French West Africa from the imperialistic grip of Paris. Who are they? What is/are their goals? And most importantly, how far are they willing to go to ensure the success of these operations.
These are very important/pertinent questions for obvious reasons...

You have to understand that the French are a powerful bloc in the European Union 🇪🇺 and the NATO organisation. The French solidly supports President Zelensky and Ukrains attempt to wean herself of Putin/Russians influences. The French have a significant military industrial complex. But most importantly, you have to understand that the French gets a whole lot of her raw materials and economic power from the African continent, especially her former West African colonies. This was so because of all the stooges they have planted in the different state houses post independence. If you are able to remove these fake French proxies of presidents in West Africa and support characters that are ideologically opposed to French imperialism as the new presidents, you end up massively undercutting the French abilities to threaten you in your own countries back home, because the French will ultimately lack the economic wherewithal to do so. It is only the rich that projects power..

At the same time, if any country (read Nigeria) is helping the French to maintain the status quo by supporting these West African pro French regimes, that country has inadvertently thrown herself into a global confrontation that can easily go badly. Nigeria is openly projecting herself as an "anti Russia 🇷🇺 " regional power in West Africa. Russia is not into all these alone. The Chinese will gain from a Russian win in this tussle. These two countries and her allies are enormously capable in terms of their military reach. Nigeria is not! Infact, Nigeria is like a sitting duck here.


My conclusion here is that if Nigeria under a wayward Bola Ahmed Tinubu presidency continues to harangue these super powers in a bid to pay back the French for their support to him during the elections, these powers might decide to unravel Nigeria instead. That will surely not be nice. It is even more frightening when you realise how easy it will be for say the Russians to support Boko haram or the fulani herdsmen with a couple of military drops from neighbouring countries. Nigeria is extremely vulnerable here. The French can not even help Tinubu if push comes to shove...

Piting Nigeria against the people of French West Africa/Russia/China is a dumb strategic move that can only benefit Tinubu politically during the next elections, but may leave him with a highly fractured nation to govern after his win... He is not supporting democracy in Benin Republic and Niger. He is defending Western imperialism with Nigerias fledgling military assets..

By fighting the French in Africa, the Russians are fighting for their lives. .. Those who stand in their way will surely receive some upper cuts...

Early morning unrepentant Wailer.

Good read..
Talking sense

The president of the Benin Republic was trying to flee the country when the coupists caught up with him. Nobody told him to go and hide. If they had finished him, maybe we won't be having this discussion.

Most of them have been wai-ling after the coup failure in Benin.

The OP and his fellow obidient and ipob were all jumping on social media calling for US to.invade and occupy Nigeria.

But here he is castigating this govt as being pro western.

So coups are the way to go?

Halting an illegitimate attempt to seize power by the barrel is now sign of pro western govt ?

You are here typing nonsense about Tinubu's govt being pro western when only a couple of weeks you and your d@ft obidients and ipob crew were celebrating and calling on Trump to come invade and recolonise us.

The analysis is too long and convoluted. The French colonialists are fighting back and they are using Nigeria as a proxy.

Few weeks ago, during the Trump Disgraced Country outburst, they claim that Tinubu has made Nigeria a pariah country to west. Today they claim that this same Tinubu is Pro-West.
This just shows how twisted and confused they have become

America planning to bomb a deluge of murderous insurgents in Nigeria that are directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians across Nigeria, is totally different from Nigeria invading a neighbouring country to bomb revolutionary agents trying to unseat a totally corrupt administration that is beholden to the whims and caprices of western imperialists.
Why is this hard for you to grasp? Dè-nsè at default mode

Two totally different scenarios. And you know. You are just trying to muddle the duscuss with all sort of base banalities. You don't even know what you are supporting here. You just have to support Tinubu no matter where the wind swings things. To you , it is the duty of an ethnic henchman to do so. Essentially, the topic is way above your pay grade. We are talking of the global repercussions of this kind of actions and you are trying hard to hobble us down with all sorts of putrid kiriji outbursts...

We won't entertain you..

Just read the nonsense you posted again.

You were part of the mob demanding US recolonise us and help declare your Biafra with SS annexed to it.

You hack back to Biafra on every thread. Biafra must be your nightmare.. , it's as if you have a say in such topics..
Countries are formed based on consensus. If the Biafrans feel they want noting to do with you and your teibalistic ways, you should be happy. Afterall you are on of the people that have been happy over the demolition of their houses in the South West.

I don't know what your fixation on them is all about. Allow the South South to speak for themselves too. No body made you their spokesman. Stop drooling over their oil and gas. Go back to your cocoa pyramids. Or stick with your oil and gas deposits to build up your United States of Yorubaland ala Sanwo Olu. You said you have more oil than the east..

You are the one that said the east does not have more than "a bottle of oil in her five plots of land"! So what are you aggrieved about if they want to go especially when they are not asking you to go with them?
I don't understand!

Pls, this thread is about Benin Republic and Nigeria.
Face the topic and stop deviating...

You are all frustrated in that your SE over a Yoruba man beating your Agulu fraud at the polls which you interpreted as rejection by majority Nigerians


You know you can never produce the President which you so covet either through the ballot or by way of military coup.

So you spend your days spewing trash and praying for Nigeria's balkanization.

It won't work.

You are only getting more frustrated by the day.

Peter Obi gave Tinubu supporters a bloody nose by winning their Messiah in their strong base Lagos.

Nnamdi KANU wants to leave Nigeria with his people leaving the south west with their northern brothers ( just imagine what will be their fate).

How do expect them to love this people?

They cannot do that..... period!


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What Nigeria and Ecowas did in Benin Republic was excellent

Soldiers would now have to think twice before trying to overthrow Democratic Govts

This is the most laughable analysis I have ever read. So Tinubu is fighting for the French and not the people of Benin?

What a twisted logic!

Oh please. The French narrative is trite. Sometimes you can't escape these narratives. Yes, there is much to be said about the fatigue of France in its former colonies, still I don't think military rule is the solution. The people should make that discontent known and their voices heard through democracy. So far, those military officers who have seized power are yet to transition to democracy. The President of Benin asked for assistance, what should President Tinubu have done? Look away? Does Tinubu want a coup in Nigeria? I don't want military rule in Nigeria, so should such attempt be made, I welcome such foreign help, if sought.

This is a conspiracy theory. The French are not funding Boko Haram or Fulani herdsmen. The French are not even our main problem. The French are not even funding the coupists in Niger.

Niger is funded by China and Russia and the Chinese and Russians are not even our main problems.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Read below...
France openly admitting that she got some regional powers to act...

France helped the authorities in Benin thwart a coup attempt at the weekend, an aide to President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday, revealing a French role in a regional effort that foiled the latest bid to stage a putsch in West Africa.

Macron led a “coordination effort” by speaking with key regional leaders, the aide, asking not to be named, told reporters two days after Sunday’s failed coup bid.

France — at the request of the Beninese authorities — provided assistance “in terms of surveillance, observation and logistical support” to the Benin armed forces, the aide added.

Further details on the nature of the assistance were not immediately available.

It's one or more of these 3 scenarios:
1. You don't know the meaning of integrity.
2. You lack self-awareness.
3. The meaning of the word "integrity" has been changed in the dictionary.

It's absolutely hilarious for someone that exposed a governor as being incompetent and a fraud, then changed and started telling people that that same governor was the messiah the whole country needed, to be talking about his "hard-earned integrity". Lolz.
