These bandits and terrorists now have safe havens in large swaths of Niger Republic .

If Nigeria decides to push into Niger Republic to bomb these terrorist camps, the hopeless junta in the capital in Naimey will be the first to scream .

Don't you recall how the junta in Mali (another meme junta) detained a Nigerian Airforce aircraft going to Europe that was forced to declare an emergency landing in a Malian aerodrome?

These guys have no clue on what they are doing.

They have bunched together because they are the only military junta in West Africa and they have come to see other West African countries calling for the reinstatement of democratic rule as their greatest enemies.

Like every military junta, the trio in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Rep are only interested in holding on to power for themselves.
At the bolded, leave that thing. Why doing half and half jobs? If Nigerian leaders can stamp their feet on the ground and do the job of eliminating banditry TOTALLY, that's Niger's business if they decide not to do the needful.

Let's take responsibility for our own territorial space.

To me, my friend in BF said Traore is trying his best, so why should I argue?

If the trio are not doing their best, you'd hear sentiments here and there on SM. If the people are happy with military rule, who am I a Nigerian to say something contrary?

If say money dey man hand, I too will love to travel there to see things for myself.

You make it seem easy.

Do you know how large the area of operation is now?

The entire SE border of Niger with Nigeria is under Jihadist control

The Tchadian warrior President used to be of immense help but since his death, his son is struggling to maintain power.

Before the junta came to power in Niger, a joint military task force by Nigeria, Chad, Niger , Cameroun and Benin was in place checking the menace.

Now Niger that shares over 1,000km land border with Nigeria is not playing ball.

Chad is not as powerful since Idris Derbie.

You guys just talk trash about what you don't know.

You don't know about Thomas Sankara evidently. Maybe you should go read about him and what he was able to accomplish in very little time.

Traore is living a bit of a lie, free media has already been curtailed in the country rightly or wrongly but free speech doesn't exist anymore in the land of the upright people
The star and stripes country are the propaganda warehouse.

If them say A, na B be the truth.

I've seen too much to be deceived at my age.

TS tried his best. Traore too tried his best too. Applause for both and a win for Africa.

Free speech exists. Use the dark web.

You are working overtime to defend the imperialists.

A round of applause.

Well, if you can tell the people you support to be responsible, then we'll not be having this conversation.

Besides, I didn't mention you.

Oh I forget, you are in their land working to send some £££ for homefolks.

No wonder.

Winter is coming.

The west lead by the usual warmongers, the colonialists will not like this, if not for pushback from black Americans and Africans some time back they probably would have grabbed him.
Great Africans such as gadaffi, that Congolese fellow, Mugabe etc were taken out, Hugo Chavez, Maduro etc who all resisted the colonialists and demanded more for their people, control of lion share of their God given resources were murdered, grabbed, jailed after being labeled drug dealers, dictators etc.
Someone like dangote should watch his back before the US looks at him as a threat to national security, sanctions him or even demands he hands over controlling shares of his refinary to chevron, mobile etc.

Walahi, ko ni da fun awon West! Everything they imported to Africa na to dominate the continent. The religion and their useless democracy na the well-styled formats to keep Africa useless and enable the leaders of Africa to keep stealing from the continent to enrich the West! West are the most corrupt and deceitful!

You guys have no clue in what you are calling for.

Military rule has never ever tolerated the slightest bit of constructive criticism.

You dare not complain


So to see idiotes in this present day abusing their democratically enshrined constitutional rights to protest for military take over only shows the level of stupidity that abounds in this millennium and Gen Z ret@rds.

Go and ask those who lived through military rule the harrowing state of existence life was before democracy returned.
Some ancient baby boomers or archaic daftsaurus - silent generation must have seen my credentials to carelessly assume I'm "millennium and Gen Z retrds". Before Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso was one of the poorest nations on earth while its resource was an all-you-can-eat buffet for European companies, making profit off the back of impoverished Africans who don't benefit from what nature blessed them with. That's not of concern for you of course but you'd rather lose sleep over their style of government.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré is leading a much needed transitional government which will depose every single relic of European liberal democracy model that has fed fat on the country's resources like leeches. If you have an issue with that, take it to the Burkinababes, they'll receive your opinion with compliments.

A leader like Tinubu who went to france to use his influence to secure a court case that won us over 3 billion usd...the Mambilla case.

Re: Burkina Faso Opens Gold Refinery by LagbajaTheBEREAN: 2:52pm On Sep 29
Zamfara and possibly Niger state government mute the group chat, anyway, both are states in Nigeria with considerable gold deposits but with nothing to write home about just death of miners, insecurity and inshallah.

Hopefully, one day we will get it right.

What was so difficult in smelting gold ores to get refined gold ?

They have been doing this for thousands of years .

No high tech required .

Just a blast furnace hot enough to melt the ore and then scrape the impurities that float to the surface .

Why were their gold ore processed outside the country ?
You should ask Dangote the same question. What’s hard about refining crude oil? After all, Niger deltans have been refining crude oil in the creeks for years.
