Lols....

Sentiment aside....
1)We are assumed to be too broke to take some major decisions or put forward some reasonable developments.......which country do you think would sponsor this "impeding war"


2)We have got major internal crisis that warrant some smart/aggressive handling and you think evading Niger will no add to this?

3) you have seen Nigeriens displays some level of satisfaction thru protests and "eBOLA mockery" and you think invading them all in d name of useless democracy would be ideal?

4)What is our interest in d war.....what would be the positive outcome invading a sovereign country who posed no threat whatsoever to you.....

I learnt we have got almost 300k refugees in Niger...what would be their fate ??cos

1. “Interest” that want to entrench democracy in Niger will fund the war.

2. That ship has sailed the moment the Niger Juntas forcefully remove a democratically elected president.

3. You believe all nigeriens support the military? You’ve been looking from the wrong perspectives, they have been major anti-coup protest also.

4. Our interest is stability, which you can never have if the coup is allowed to stand.

You think if Nigerian hadn’t reacted, other countries wouldn’t?

You believe Nigeria should have taken a passive approach and let other countries dictate what happens in our backyard.

We are still reeling from the impact of Libya situation because we adopted a passive approach decades later.

OasisX:




....they are roasting Okupe like Bọli on X app now.

Lmao.

It’s to be expected, some people are not emotionally mature to handle election loss.

There are some American handle I follow that wish American downfall because Trump lost his election almost 4 years ago.

OasisX:




....you know the funniest thing, had Tinubu ignored to take action on the matter, you would have seen them shouting; Tinubu has no balls. He is weak, a Puppet to Russia already.

He is protecting Buhari looted money in Niger, hence he can't dare to attack them....bla bla bla. So many nonsense would have littred this space garbaged in from X app and WhatsApp.

Lmao, ignorant people with ignorant take.

Don’t understand the concept of carrot and stick, have no knowledge of what diplomacy even means.

The context of “talking softly and waking with a big stick” will fly over their head.

They think a man who staged a coup because he was about to be sacked and having tasted power is just going to hand over power like that without threat😂

Laurent Gbagbo of ivory cost did more than this in 2012, he was bundled out of the presidential palace weeping like a kid.

Segedinho:


Yeah,I couldn't find it anymore but there was a link from the poster I lifted it from.........


I tried George weah on twitter's search and the result from numerous posts was, he made d statement in 2021 but no link though.....

If I can get d 1 with link on d said statement...I would call ur attention.

Lmao😂

Lmao, Make Nigeria fold his hand dey look as Wagner group set up shop in its neighbourhood.


Some of you should not been giving takes on foreign affairs I swear.

Emergency lovers of Niger republic, this love was not visible when Buhari was approving rail construction to maradi.

Better don’t let your hate for the president pass over to the country. You hate Tinubu doesn’t mean you should hate Nigeria.

OasisX:




I have been waiting for my good Ẹ̀gbọ́n to share the "unavailable" link, so I can counter it with verifiable fact.

Wear is sending troops, he has assured ECOWAS already and his CDS is taking part in the Meetings.

Man😂, the level of misinformation on Twitter ehn.

Pro-Russia account have suddenly abandoned their ongoing war in Ukraine to focus on Niger, I’m sure most of them could not even locate the country on the map.

I’ve been amusing my self reading their half baked submissions considering that many at of them are still confusing Niger republic with Nigeria.😂😂

Segedinho:

I am trying to get the link I got it from.......

from twitter......

Wait for some mins

Don’t stress yourself bro, it doesn’t exist.

The effect of propaganda I’m talking about.

This is an official statement from the Liberian presidency, condemning the coup and adopting the ecowas stance.

https://allafrica.com/stories/202307290261.html

Segedinho:

Shared as seen...........


Verification can be done here too....

You mean you couldn’t be bothered to even try and verify what you are sharing.

Whatever is passed to you, you pass it out like that.

Garbage in Garbage out.

Segedinho:

Lmao.

Always sharing fake news quotes.

Atleast sometime try to verify things yeah?

OasisX:


Oooin....Justice for Shetty. She's a Technocrat. PBAT is wicked, coz why removing her ffs!

Confirm depression.

Imagine already celebrating being nominated.

That was cruel.

raumdeuter:


I support you on this. We dont have resources to prosecute this war, We can use sanctions for now

Unless US and the West have promised ECOWAS full support both financial, logistics and personnel to fund the war. Let the US and West put money in ECOWAS account, provide ammunition and materials then provide us personell

Maybe to help them keep Russia at bay dem fit forgive member nations who fought the war their debts and finance our budgets

Lol, the president already wrote the world and eco was that he was taken hostage and his life and that of his family is in danger.

There’s a reason the situation was labeled an hostage situation in the ecowas communique.

The junta have themselves to blame by not killing the president immediately.

OasisX:
President Tinubu's envoy, Babagana Kingibe meets Algeria's President who was represented by Minister Ahmed Ataf, conveys Tinubu's message to him.

Minister Ahmed assured Kingibe of Algeria's support against the military junta in Niger Republic.

Note: Algeria shares border with Niger.

The Algerians are in support of the intervention from ecowas.

They know the important of having a secure southern neighbour.

For the first ever in the history of fifa, players in Nigeria might received their money directly.

FIFA is doing this for all Women Team, Not just Nigeria.

Russian troll farm working on overtime.

Russian Troll farm working overtime😂😂

There’s a massive disinformation campaign going on right now.

Russian troll farms are working on overdrive in west Africa.

Chad just declared a state of emergency through out the country, and sierra leone just announced the array of some senior military officers working to destabilised the government. Things are starting to get interesting.

In all of this the greatest beneficiaries might just be the jihadist.

Joint communiqué between Burkina Faso and Mali. Pledging to defend Niger if they are attacked

https://twitter.com/actureact_/status/1686120078444552192?t=A3Md9kXMiBsjbhY3_gp75g&s=19

BAT has talked big game, let's see if he'd back it up with action.

OasisX, Dem say Dem dey wait una

A Malian army that is being spanked by AQIM and jihadist wearing flip flop, and whose leader cannot even step out of the capital Bamako without the protection of Wagner is promising to defend putschists Niger from invasion 😂😂😂.

Theflint1:
If they had portfolios I'm sure it won't be as shambolic. It's like trying to interview a person for a non-descript job, it's always going to be lame.

Lol, same thing I said.

liveLongNprospa:


So nothing

Are you anaemic to a basic internet search.

Stop waiting for people to spoon fed you information, try and research yourself.

If you have a contrary opinion to something , you disagree with fact.

Your brain is there to be used, stop loaning your thinking out to people.

Amigoss:


Ogun go kee you,agbado na your papa name? Na your papa be waste of human being...what a fool!!!

So I should be crying Niger is going through a turbulent time when the citizens are happy and celebrating with the coupist and destroying french embassies and properties of their corrupt politicians who have put them into abject poverty and penury...

Waste of space.

If you have nothing to contribute to the discussion, just end your life.

izzou:
Person never begin rule, e don ban Social Media.

Na this kind person ECOWAS wan dialogue with?

Fundamental human rights no fit dey him dictionary

Lmao.

And our people who have no knowledge of Niger, think that the Nigerien are in support of the coup.

The first protest that emerged after the coup was against the military, but they were shot at and rounded up.

Always falling for cheap propaganda, Nigerians disappointing me heavily sometimes.

BlueRayDick:


U have made so many assumptions/submissions in this post. U sound so confident as if u know everything u posted to be fact.

Please share ur source so can confirm this is also not “Western propaganda”

Unlike you, I've always been passionate about military history and have closely followed the regional politics of countries surrounding Nigeria. If you browse through my posts on this forum, you'll notice my engagement with these topics dating back six years.

Amigoss:
Algerian outlet Intel Kirby writes, about a potential ECOWAS-led invasion of Niger, that "Algeria will not sit idly while a neighboring country is being invaded"

WAHALA! WAHALA!! WAHALA!!!!

ECOWAS and Agbado Army about to set themselves up for destruction

What an idiot, everything is about Agbado to you.

Imagine being Happy that your country neighbor is going through a turbulent time because your messiah didn’t win an election.

You better move on, the election is over. What a waste of human being.

BlueRayDick:


So u support ECOWAS going heads-on with Russia-backed coupists ? It will only end in disaster for all concerned except RUSSIA and the US who will be financing the proxy war.

We have a lot to lose if violence erupts in Niger because ECOWAS wants to stamp its feet on a sovereign nation’s internal issues.

Lol, they are not Russian backed anything.

This is an ethnic coup, the president was from a minority tribe, they tried something similar in the beginning of the administration.

Wagner group is just being an opportunist, and the Coupist are trying to whip up anti west sentiment. Hence sponsoring protest and distributing Russian flags.

The Niger Military in the diffa region, the region the president comes from are not in support of the coup.

liveLongNprospa:


The problem is people in the country support them.. That's 1
2) they are also a buffer between us and Sudan and our intervention can also lead to civil war in Niger.

The border between us and them is porous as Bleep and we are already spread thin. THIS FOR ME IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE.

3) we don't know the number of international interests in Niger.


Point is which ever way we choose to act, it's still going to present issues.
Which is why I said it's another angle. Whether it makes sense or not is still a possible reality sadly.

And who told you Niger people support this coup?

Stop falling for cheap propaganda, there was an anti-coup protest this morning by bozoum people.

It’s foolhardy to think that the Majority of Niger support a foolhardy coup, when the first reaction to the coup was an Anti coup protest in the capital hours to the coup announcement.

But the coupist have activated their propaganda, distributing Russia flag to their tribe member.

There’s a reason they just announced a ban of social media , you think if they are enjoying people support they will ban social media.

OasisX:


Jez look at the below map and tell me Nigeria shouldn't consider any measure to restore Democracy in Niger.

I really don't understand why some folks think its none of our business. Niger's budget is built on grants, and the Donors are beginning to take action.

What next? Hunger sets in and refugees start moving to Northern Nigeria in drove. Is that what we really want?

Asari Dokubo Militants can handle Niger Military.

People are shortsighted.

If they know how much the Libya situation is responsible for the mess in northern Nigeria, they won’t advised us to fold our hands and look.

Already the President ethnic group and the Tuareg are already beginning to make moves, as this coup was done by the southern ethnic group military loyal to Tchiani.

Bazoum people are already calling for demonstration, a shape of what could potentially be civil war is taking form.

The propaganda machine of Wagner is working on overdrive 😂

OasisX:


ECOWAS not Nigeria. It must be stopped NOW! Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and now Niger.

If we don't act fast, more will happen. Do you wanna see more nations fall to coupists in West Africa?

People don’t understand that it’s an existential crises right now.

A new player is in the block already, Wagner a private military group.

If that coup in Niger is allowed to stand, expect more coups in west Africa in the next two years.

Then the region is done for, we are regressing back to the 1970’s.

Spy360:

Lol.

The issue of party membership is an internal affair of the party. Neither the constitution nor the EA decides who is a member of a political party.

That aside, the part where the EA requests for a list of party membership does not rule out acceptance of new members. The most important thing is that whoever emerges must emerge through a primary and the names submitted to INEC.

The case of the Delta LP candidate that was sacked was a case of him not resigning his public office before contesting. Personally I am against such rascality if it is proven.

As for Peter Obi that is giving you guys headache, the federal high court has already determined that case.

The statement you quoted did you see me mention Peter obi?

I don’t really like venturing into argument where I have limited knowledge, that’s why I ask to see the Court judgement.

Android17:
BAT was supposed to be more progressive and with-the-times than PMB. So far, he is flattering to deceive. The list does not inspire as much as I hoped and by not including the portfolio, regardless of the constitution, he is coming off as no different.

Nevertheless, the essence of the screening is for discovery. If someone had forged certificates etc. It should be brought to light during the screening so that such a person is never confirmed.

Those types of screening that will expose forgers and the like would have been done by the DSS and EFCC, I think they have been some cases in the past where some nominee didn’t pass the security clearance, I’m not sure.

What I would like to see on the senate floor is scrutinising the nominee to test their knowledge of the ministry they are going to head.

raumdeuter:


What then is the fate of Peter Obi

Peter obi has no mandate to begin with.

You can’t lose what you don’t have.
