That's a nice comparison,

I dedicate Tupac Shakur "Hit them up" to help set the drug baron up with Russian radar evading stealth bombers. grin

He will learn his political lessons soon.

We should not bother sending our beloved troops there.

Only asari dokubo and his boys is enough to capture the rebels like little children.

It is highly necessary. If action is not taken Wagner group and Russia will take over the whole Sahel region and west Africa under the guise of military coup

So, for your chicken mind, Nigerian military will just go and level Nigerien army abi?
Those guys can easily get access to very lethal weaponry via Libya and the Wagner group while your own army will still be waiting for US Congress to vet your human rights records.
Your men will just turn to barbecue for nothing.
Meanwhile some core northern Muslim soldiers in Nigeria will share sympathy for Niger just like some did for BH. Another angle is how the top echelon will milk the war by prolonging it like those before them did.
Niger is not worth it. Tinubu should quit forming Bruce Lee

And then? All these years that UK and France have been running the show, who died?
What is good for France should be good for Russia.
At least they are not being forced to ally with Russia unlike how that of France and UK came about.

The war has been going on in Sudan and Chad for Years, it never ends. If you enter am, you go just dey waste money.

It will also cause more terror in Northern Nigeria because of proliferatiom of weapons into the hand of Muslim Jihadists.
Nigeria will fight this war for many years, I swear

So because of fear of Wagner group, Nigeria should fold her alms and allowed Russia to sponsored Nigerian army to carry out coup in Nigeria after they successfully did it in four neighbouring countries

Ask your yourself Nigeria didn't take action when it happened in Mali, Chad before Niger

I pity you. This war has not gotten to our doorstep. E no concern us.

Don't fall for the trap. It's a Russia/ NATo war and you will be used. It's happening currently in Sudan, Libya and Chad

Whose door step is Niger ? Check your map very well

It happened in three neighboring countries, Nigeria didn't take action

Ask yourself why Niger?

Who is talking about Wagner group.
What is Nigeria's business with what happens in Niger, Chad or Mali? Are we the police of west Africa?
Nigeria can't even square up to Wagner group in open war so why go against them because of some barren landlocked deserts?
Nigeria and Russia are not rivals. Russia is a first world power while Nigeria is a third world country.
Except you mean Nigeria should be the new Ukraine

Tinubu cannot rig a war like he rigged this election.

It's not our business, same way Poland is not interfering with Ukraine even as Ukraine shares boundary with them. The risk of going into thr war now hugely outweighs the benefit.
It's not like we are benefiting any resources after the war, e no concern us. Let France mobilize and come and fight it

The only reason why we would want to go into this war is to flex muscles. If we win, the west will continue using us to exploit the resources in Niger and if we lose, we will fail to Russia. M
There's no benefit worthy enough for us to invest such huge resources
