The war against Niger Republic will be swift. Their ragtag army is already ill-equipped and in addition to sanctions, The Americans and French will be assisting ECOWAS troops with intelligence and weapons to quickly overrun the junta.

So their ragtag army was intentionally ill equipped and you expect them to continue living in that condition with all the resources at their disposal?

We need Niger stability...we are building a pipeline to the west to supply gas through Niger...we cant risk it

So going to war will bring stability to Niger. Is Niger not more stable than Nigeria right now?

What is their problem with Niger, the citizens said they want military rule and ECOWAS with his corrupt west world want to impose democracy on the people, is it by force? Let Niger breathe

.

You don't understand international politics. As ECOWAS chairman, the sole mandate to protect the sub-region lies with President Tinubu. The people do not support the coup. It is Russia that is sponsoring coups in Africa so they can have their mercenaries like WAGNER take over the region and loot the rich uranium deposit of Niger for their nuclear program. Weather France or America or Russia or whoever, they are all Europeans and they have one thing in common which is to loot the resources of Niger under the guise of protecting them.
Also, if the coup is allowed, it will post a serious security threat to the sub-region especially Nigeria.

If it's before, the coupists will not be this jittery and scared. Even the head of the coupists had been holed up and away from the public out of fear of a counter coup while the legitimate President he overthrew is not perturbed.

Let me ask you a question , supposing the old president gets killed as Ecowas invade , what will be the next action > I believe you are young and have not been around when we used to have bloody coups . What Tinunu and his team are doing is leading Africa into bloody coups in future , if the old president and his team were killed you would not be discussing this invasion

Nonsense people

You guys always speak out of ignorance. Search for knowledge and always make informed takes on issues. Donot always be quick to sound like a blockhead.

Shutting down their airspace will automatically shoot up the prices of airline tickets for outbound flights to europe from nigeria due to the long haul using alternative routes.

ECOWAS could shut their airspace against Niger but that doesn't mean the region can't enter Niger by land, using the ECOWAS charter which guarantees free movement of persons and goods within the region. I think Niger did the right thing. Sokoto is just 6 hours away from Niger.

Since the majority of Nigerien supported the junta, then no country should meddle in their affairs. They're a sovereign state and can choose to leave ECOWAS and nothing would happen. What gladdens my heart was the fact that, the military junta said they'd speed up transition into a democratic rule so democracy could be restored. That's a good move which has also allayed the fears of many, of any possible military return. Nothing like democracy, even though some countries, including Nigeria has abused it.

If the military could check them by staging a coup that would jettison them , bringing up mew breeds that can move the country forward, arresting and jailing our corrupt politicians, then return to the barracks thereafter. That won't be a bad idea.

This is the situation.

Nigeria is poised to start the supply of Gas to Europe, who will pay billions in $$$ for this favour. Russia, who just cut off their Gas supply to Europe would do everything to thwat Europe's plan to get Gas from Nigeria by gaining control over countries along the path of the Gas pipeline from Warri Nigeria, supplying Europe. Niger is the perfect country for Russia to distabilize in order to jeopardize the Gas project.

For Russia, its pay back. For Nato, its survival. Winter is coming and Europe will need Nigerian Gas to power their heat systems. For Tinubu, its about making billions from the Gas deal, anything that would stand in the way of this deal, Tinubu will destroy. All of these will come at the expense of the lives and properties in Northern Nigeria. So expect a war in the scale of the Russia and Ukraine war in that region. if the war starts and is sustained for months, don't be suprised if the Gas terminal at Warri is bombed by Russian Drones. When this war begins, it will be difficult to stop....Now is the time to stop it by all means. But my thought is that the powers behind Tinubu are so strong, he cannot call the shots, he cannot stop the war even if he wants to. Europe will freeze to death during the winter if they don't get the Gas from Nigeria. When lives in Europe are threatened, NATO will flex its muscles...i just hope Nukes will not be deployed...God abeg na your hand we dey.

If the pipeline project has not started, how can we use that as a condition for this war? Won't the project take years to complete considering the distance it will cover to get to Europe?

Russia had said they won't meddle in the affairs of Niger,.neither wouid they go into war with any country that opposes the coup. Always watch the foreign news media. Our local media are so biased for fear of being sanctioned by the federal government, should they bring up clean reportage.

On the gas thing, it will take years to be completed. The coup has nothing to do with Russia involvement at all. The president had overstayed his welcome. The country didn't like his style of government. My friend and business partner in Niger said they supported the coup so, let the junta come up with programmes and events that will lead to speedy transition of government into a civil rule as they maintained last night.

See my partner's reaction in the screenshot below about the coup. Maybe Nigerians would understand better and stop politicising the coup the way their corrupt leaders have brainwashed them

Why do you think the military will not let us go on with the pipeline? With the right negotiation everything is possible after all they will still earn from the gas project Bombing them in all out war will also stall the gas project.

We have been fighting war with BH for the 13 years adding another frontier isn't a wise thing to do.

In war situations like this, real leaders don't listen to cheap emotional citizens saying we don't need war. Ecowas leaving the coupist to remain in power is more dangerous than ousting them.
