One thing OBJ did that benefits us today is splitting our military command structure so that it's almost impossible for a coup to be planned and executed in Nigeria without news of it spilling out before hand..

That said, the clamor by some political actors for military takeovers, is just another attempt to gain political power on the back of someone else's effort, instead of doing the work of politics themselves..

Buhari could've tried to lead the North out of Nigeria after losing 3 elections, the last one being so badly rigged that the winner, Umar Musa Yaradua, all but admitted it...
Tinubu could've done the same with Lagos and most of the SW, instead of slug it out with PDP from a position of weakness..

Today we have riff-raff nonentities like Igboho and Ekpa trying to drive to power using the lives of young foolish people as fuel..
90% of civil society actors operating in the political advocacy space seem to have no work besides stirring up internal destabilisation, especially in the states where we have a semblance of good governance.. They camp in Lagos and Kaduna, opposing everything the governors there do, but unlook Abia, Oyo, Rivers, Taraba, Benue and all the states that are either failed, failing or run like autocracies..
Useful idiots playing their part to scatter our nation, with the daft notion that the pieces will be rearranged in a way that favors them... They could look to Libya, or Yemen to realise that the pieces of scattered nations, never come backtogether..

ENDSARS people abandoned the hard work of building a political movement to take the momentum of their protests and channel it in the only legitimate direction of obtaining power... They instead chose the easy route of insurrection, thinking they could chase away over 1000 elected officials with hashtags and emojis. Once more relying on some outside savior like JackTwitter to 'help' them gain power..

The lack of responsibility and awareness will never cease to amaze.

The latest savior is the military..
Grown men hoping that a few, misguided, corrupt soldiers will somehow lead Africa out of our shrunken, shrivelled state and into greatness..
It would be surprising if the same thing had not been attempted just a few months ago with Peetobi..
The truth is that good things take time and effort.. You cannot throw 10 blocks and 2 bags of cement into the air and hope they build themselves into a mansion as they fall down.. You need architects and builders for that, not soldiers or failed politicians promising you heaven when all they've ever built is hell.

Life can be cruel sometimes... She will watch you grow old and die in frustration if you refuse to apply wisdom in your dealings with her..

If by some magic our democracy is toppled by soldiers, very few politcians operating today will lose their jobs, relevance or access... 3 or 4 big names will be dealt with ceremoniously to fool you, but Nigeria is too big for 40 soldiers to run without help.. Politicians will politick and you will be left in the cold, again, except this time the constitution will be suspended along with yourfundamental human rights...

My advise... Go and register a company... Go in your hundreds of thousands if not millions.
Apply for these loans.. Seek advice.. Set up businesses.. GROW.. Become financially independent individuals first, then pool your new power together to build political movements, either parties or pressure groups. Use your combined resources to sponsor candidates who you direct to build a sample of the Nigeria of your dreams, using an LGA or 2 as test cases.. Demonstrate this superior governance ability that you claim to possess.. If it works you will win over converts, and your new ideology will turn into a true political movement, based on productivity and a promise of a better life, not on anger, depression, negativity and threats of violence and death..
This is the only real way to gain lasting power... Anything else is a lie.

So you rightly hate Western colonialism but you’re eagerly supporting the Russian variety, why? What is it that Russia has to offer anyone?
Tinubu doesn’t want to invade Niger but only an idiot would want Wagner operating on the Northern border. It has nothing to do with the West, it’s not in Nigeria’s own national interests to have neighbouring countries turned into Russian puppets. Russia wants African resources, but unlike the Chinese or Westerners they don’t have anything worthwhile to offer in return, so they’re backing corrupt coup plotters who’ll give the Russians a share of their natural resources in exchange for help in staying in power. Meanwhile those nations’ citizens are getting even poorer and Putin’s cronies just dey chop Africa’s wealth anyhow. You can bet that they’re already negotiating with some Nigerian generals for how they can do the same thing to us.

The Americans defeated the Taliban easily, so much so that those ones avoided the international troops as much as they could because those that didn’t just died like fowl. The US left because they were tired of the place and didn’t see any prospect of the place progressing, not because they lost any battles.
What you should be worried about is where the Russians plan to colonise next. If you think life in Nigeria is bad now, just wait until Putin persuades some of the more brutal military leaders to take over and let his boys in. That’s when you’ll see something.

Surprise, surprise.

Corrupt Juntas supporting other corrupt Juntas and I guarantee they wont be backing down by the end of this weeks deadline. If Nigeria just leave things as they are, it will only get worse. To be fair, Niger was already politically unstable but they will try convincing some Junta, corrupt wannabe general in Nigeria and Ghana to do the same. Thats how serious the problem is.

Nigeria along with the other sane ECOWAS members should honestly go in with the backing of NATO and take 4 birds out with one stone nor will Wagner be a problem. Russia can't afford to fight on two fronts, they have their hands full getting their ass kicked in Ukraine.

We have more than enough problems to deal with on the home front. If Nigeriens support the coupists as shown on TV, we should mind our business. US and France bases are there. Wagner is around the corner. Let's not get involved in a proxy war.

Besides, ECOWAS couldn't solve the problems in Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea. How's this going to be different?

Our insecurity issues is enough for us to deal with. We already have too many IDPs. We don't need more.

It is extremely difficult to invade a large desert country and win the locals in warfare;

False.

Deserts offer no refuge , foliage cover that will create for ideal ambush.

Gulf war 1 and 2 should have told you that flat open desert lands are like one propped up Puna waiting to be fcked.

The people of Niger republic are behind the military rulers;

And you know this ?

If the people are so much in support why is there currently martial law, curfews and clampdown on social media ?

Maybe you meant to say Okoro bingos are supporting the wave of CIA/Mossad coups across Africa and hope it extends to Nigeria.

Hausas and Fulanis see Niger as their brothers;

Then how come same Hausa and Fulani in Nigeria are not celebrating the coup in Niger like you ewus are doing and claiming Niger citizens are doing as well?
Buhari has even called for Nigeria to act accordingly to remove the junta. There is no other voice more northern than Buhari. So which northerners in Nigeria do you see supporting the coup in Niger ?


ECOWAS has been divided into two; in

Again you lie.
The only ECOWAS nations supporting the junta in Niger are those which have a military dictatorship in place and are rallying around each other (currently 4) to support their rogue regimes.

It's going to be an international war;

No it's not.

At best a proxy war between Russia/China on one side facing the real powers behind the rogue regimes - NATO.

The last thing any US president will do is send boots to Africa. No war. Just another Jewkraine in West Africa and it will only go bad for the junta group because that's were the wars will be fought and decided that's if it will be a war. Rather more like Police action using ECOMOG.

Finally, I see you ewus running around like a headless chicken getting all hot and ready for a coup to happen in Nigeria .

Not going to happen.

If you think Nigeria is weak because the corrupt military brass has left BH to thrive so as to use the conflict as their cashout season then I have another consignment of napalm bomb coming your way .

You want to judge our military on handling Fulani vermin? Well there is no more Buhari in power and the mop up has begun.

Or maybe you see the hesitation of the military not being deployed to your yeast to check your own Okoro brand of crass? Well let me just say that , it has been decided that we leave you to your own device. The FG has washed it's hands off your madness and you are even doing us a favour by relieving us of any future moral baggage in clearing your mess.

Bro, what will Niger do to Nigeria, honest question?

Niger has less personnel than the Nigerian reserves. They have two fighter jets. No battle tanks. One Attack Helicopter. Has no access to any seaport which Nigeria can cut them off from any needed suppiles and close the air spaces. Plus Niger depends on Nigeria economically. This would be over before it even began without the help of NATO. Even if they do result to Guerilla warfare which will prolong the war than it has to, the end result will more or less the same as Boko Haram. Restricted to a few villagers and no longer really rendered as a dosmetic threat.

Plus, the US military was never militarily defeated by the North Vietnamese. US won every single major engagement they were in, they only lost on the domestic politics back in their home country and South Vietnam not wanting to really fight America decided enough was enough. If America wanted to, they could easily come here in full force and wipe out Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Niger along with Wagner with ease. French, Foreign Legion could easily do the same as well. Your Russian masters wouldn't be able to do shit as they are currently getting their ass handed to them in Ukraine.

Its like saying US lost to the Taliban when American soldiers infact kicked their Taliban ass into hiding into the mountains and caves and ran the country for 20 years no problem until dosmetic politics got in the way again.

Nigeria should mind it's business if they don't want war with Malu and Burkina Faso.

Okoro, open deserts are advantageous to the invaders.

All of western Russia is open flat lands akin to a desert and that's why German troops blazed easily through it and why NATO wants Ukraine as an ally towards staging a future invasion through it.

Comparing the undulating heavy jungles of Vietnam and the rugged high grounds of Afghanistan to flat open deserts of Niger shows you know jack shit about geography of these places.
America had geography to contend with in Vietnam (an undulating hilly jungle landscape with flooded plains ) and Afghanistan( a rugged highly landscape where you can never hold the high ground position against the defenders).

As for everything you wrote it all comes from your mkpiri mind.

The North Vietnamese communist nor the Taliban didn't defeat US military in any battle. I bet you think Wagner were the ones to push United States out of Syria too, right? When in reality 40 Americans killed hundreds of Wagner soldiers with just 1 wounded US Marine during the Battle of Khasham. Now Russian Wagner soldiers are getting slaugthered by the thousands in Ukraine. Russia has lost all of their best soldiers and generals and now they are having to recruit poorly trained conscripts using Soviet era technology. Thousands of Russians are are defecting and the Russian military is losing ground.

Also, you are implying as if the two other fodder armies like Mali and Burkina Faso would make any difference against Nigeria and ECOWAS. These countries barely have a functional military other than a shitload of AK47s. Let me break it down for you.

Niger - 2 Special Mission crafts, 0 UAVs, 0 Tanks, 0 Tank Fleets, 0 Mobile rocket projectors, 0 Trainers, 0 Self-Propelled Artillery, 0 Towed Artillery, 0 Fighters, 7 Helicopters, 1 Attack Helicopter, 5 Transports, 2 Attacker Crafts, 728 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 12,000 active Personnel, 0 Reserves, Military expenditure $287 million, 4.9 million Fit-For-Service

Mali - 0 UAVs, 50 Tanks, 0 Tanker Fleets, 1 Special Mission, 9 Fighters, 6 Attacker Crafts, 12 Helicopters, 9 Attack Helicopters, 4 Trainers, 1,294 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 0 Self Propelled Artillery, 15 Twoed Artillery, 45 Rocket Artillery, 19,000 active Personnel, $591 million Military expenditure, 4 million Fit-For-Service

Burikna Faso - 1 Special Mission crafts, 4 Trainers, 0 Tanks, 0 Tanker Fleet, 0 Self-Propelled Artillery, 0 UAVs, 5 Mobile rocket projectors, 12 Towed Artillery, 0 Fighters, 3 Attacker Crafts, 10 Helicopters, 2 Attack Helicopters, 12,000 active personnel, 4,500 Reserves, $434 million Military expenditure, 7.6 million Fit-For-Service.

This is just Nigeria alone without combined forces of the rest of the ECOWAS nations.

16 UVAs (another 8 on order), 6 Special Mission Craft, 14 Fighters, 24 Attacker Crafts, 20 Transport Craft , 28 Trainers, 52 Helicopters, 15 Attack Helicopters, 0 Tanker Fleets, 376 Tanks, 339 Towed Artillery, 47 Mobile rocket projectors, 30 Self-Propelled Artillery, 15,748 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 230,000 Personnel, 0 Reserves, Military expenditure $5.5 billion, 85.9 million Fit-For-Service. Nigeria also has access to the ports for resupplies and resources like oil.

I pity any delusional fool that actually thinks Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso alone or together even stands a chance in hell in defeating the combined forces of ECOWAS.
