All countries have the death sentence for espionage.

Diplomatic channels have been created and they would be released.
After ransome is paid.

You violate their space and can't go free na

I pity some people saying gibberish. Burkina Faso is just like a training ground for the Nigerian military.
They have Just 18000 personel all put together compared to Nigeria military might
In a matter of weeks it's over for them

I think it's a set up by Nigeria to provoke them and they mustn't fall for the trap
They really need to be careful here cos Nigeria helped to restore Democracy back to Benin Republic, they aren't afraid to do so in Bukina faso

so why was FG claiming they had been released last week? and why exactly was our plane doing in that airspace if they claim they were going to Portugal?
even Portugal is denying knowledge of them expecting our plane in their country last week. something is just not adding up on all these.

It's such a palpable pain to see Nigeria, despite her goodwill and largesse to fellow African countries over the years, always being paid back with spiteful ingratitude.

Africa has always been the centrepiece of our foreign policy but have nothing to show for it.

Nigeria/Nigerians have often been treated with contempt, ignominy and wanton disdain by fellow Africans regrettably.

Burkina Faso now has the audacity to detain not just our aircraft but eleven of its crew and personnel with impunity.

Burkina Faso is definitely being instigated by some insidious and proxy enemies who which to get at Nigeria by hook or by crook.

But, must Nigeria continue to lie low inspite of this deliberate provocation?

Nigeria may have to use one African country, like Burkina Faso, to show a lasting example to others if all diplomatic efforts fail.

Our peaceful/brotherly disposition is being mistaken for cowardice.

The President should use military force to get the officers home since diplomacy isn't working. Burkina Faso and the entire AES group cannot come close to Nigeria militarily or economically.
Any attempt of military action will put the lives of the 11 Nigerian soldiers at risk

Like Sheikh Ahmad Gumi is to Boko Haram, so you are to Biafra.

Anything to disintegrate Nigeria is all crave for.

It's in your DNA!

But, be rest assured, Nigeria is greater than any individual or ethnic nationality.

Nigeria is here to stay: no matter the circumstances!

I had to momentarily respond to your unpatriotic mischief and hatred for Nigeria in order to clarify you of your unbridled ignorance.

I may never dignify you with another response henceforth.

Good day!

You mean like they all did in 1967 but awolowo and his gang came down to East,fought for three years just to have them back?
And who wrote the aspect of the constitution that prevented any part from breaking away? Answer =Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ben Nwabueze
Who stated and threatened the north with war if they tried to beak away? Answer = Azikiwe
Who foiled the break away of Niger Delta region when Adaka Boro tried to break away from Nigeria? Answer = Aguiyi-Ironsi
Who was sent to foil the Niger Delta break away and arrest Adaka Boro? Answer = Okujwu


Stop barking up the wrong tree. Awolowo was only following what Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ben Nwabueze wrote in the constitution so the people you will blame are Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ben Nwabueze

MEGAWATCH:
So many things has been done and can also be done without the approval of his electoral officers.

Just some months ago, Tinubu sent the military to take over the government of Rivers state without the approval of his electoral officers and most of you supported it.

Just some few days ago, Tinubu sent planes to Benin Republic to bomb some political actors there without the approval of his electoral officers and most of you supported it too.

Why asking him to do what you should have asked Tinubu to do because he has already set a record of doing things without the approval of electoral officers?

Somebody may be the hypocrite here who doesn't want to be sincere to himself just for once.



🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whenever they tell you to go to school, una go talk say school na scam.

Where is it in the constitution that allow any president to divide the country?

You are a liar because Tinubu never sent the military to take over any state in Nigeria

You are a liar because Tinubu never sent any plane to Benin to Bomb any political actor

Always supporting outsiders against Nigeria.

Should our military be invading other sovereign nation airspace??

We did same in Benin, but that one no loud cos the president himself was the beneficiary

We need to learn how to live amongst Africa now, we are no longer that feared giant

Trump called it disgrace nation and Burkina Faso proved it.try attack Burkina Faso and see another set of disgrace. Ghanaians address Nigeria as head quarter of corruption of Africa, poverty capital of Africa, yet we help them to continue insulting us by behaving anyhow both domestic and neighborhoods.

You think carrying soilders from Nigeria to bukina faso is like booking uber, Abi you don’t know there are other countries in between. Any country that allows their territory to be used to attack another country becomes a legitimate target.
And you think Nigeria will go it alone?
It will go with ECOWAS mandate requiring all partner states to protect the integrity of the other.
AES is no longer in ECOWAS so Nigeria is free to deploy militarily against them. Attacking Benin or Ghana would spell their doom as those countries will gladly send in their troops.
All in all it's going to be a regional war between the AES block and Nigeria/Benin /Ghana block.
This has nothing to do with France as those AES will have their regimes cut short and civilian rule returned.
Traore and his band of misfits are playing with fire. Whatever military support they're expecting from Russia would definitely disappoint them in the end
I don't see AES retaining their military junta next year

Reference:
Does anyone know why the aircraft was overflying that country, where it was heading and for what purpose....
Or does the public not deserve to know?
On their way to Portugal according to the NAF.
