β­• There has been anxiety in Nigerian communities bordering the Republic of Niger, that is in the Northern region where about seven states border the country.

β­• Nigerians of Southeast extraction who live in the Niger Republic have protested against the proposed military action against coup leaders in Niger by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) led by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.

β­•
The ECOWAS had given the Niger coup plotters led by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, seven days to return power to President Mohammed Bazoom or face military action.


ECOWAS has also imposed sanctions on Niger, including halting all financial transactions and freezing its national assets while the Nigerian government has cut off electricity supply to the country.

The one-week ultimatum expired on Sunday but the Niger military leaders have remained adamant as they have cut ties with Nigeria, France and some other countries while warning that any military action against them will amount to a full-blown war.

There has been anxiety in Nigerian communities bordering the Republic of Niger, that is in the Northern region where about seven states border the country.


Reacting to the proposed military invasion, the Southeastern Nigerians popularly known as Igbo living in Niger called on Tinubu and ECOWAS to jettison the idea of military action against Niger military junta.

In a viral video, they have good relationship with their host country and therefore, don't want any action that would affect their lives and livelihoods in Niger.

"We don't want war in the Niger Republic. We are living in peace with the people here. We will do a demonstration round. We want peace," some of them were heard speaking in Igbo in the video.


The Nigerian Senate has also rejected Tinubu's proposal for military invasion in Niger and advised him and ECOWAS to explore diplomatic means to resolve the political issue.

This is one of the reasons I love Igbo people, they always stand their ground and supports what is right.


For me, the coupe in Niger is a necessary evil

They are aware, what has your commander in chief of the Armed Forces Bola Ahmed Tinubu done to that effect?. They surrendered their sovereignty to the Nigerian state, to be governed and protected, and Tinubu who happens to be the commander in chief of Nigerian state Armed Forces, is to be questioned if he had lived up to expectation

This is what i call true patrotism to the country you live and make your daily earnings from.
Africans must stand against war dogs,international mercenaries and war merchants who make huge money in instigating wars in nations. SAY NO TO WAR,Africans deserve peace. Dailogue is the only solution.

But if they insist, let Helinues yarimo Moh247 iconicR and other Ebolians lead the war from the front. After all they have been recruited to constitute nuisance already.

It's funny to me how Tinubu is more interested in Niger than solving the pressing issues of hardship befalling his country.

Hunger and hardship has tripled since this senile man came to power and he's more focused on wasting tax payers' money on Niger.


See how d senates are sharing money for weekend while idiot supporters languish in penury, it's a pity. undecided

How do you know they are only ibo? angry

Why do the Yoruba on this forum constantly attack these people?

Seriously it makes us neutrals view you yorubas somehow . Because it is ibo today tomorrow you could turn on my people!!
angry

Tell us how you know those people are only iboz? I have been to Niger before and I met mostly Hausa there and a few ibo so how do you know these are iboz?

Did you go there and interview them one by one to check their tribes?!!!!!
Seun why is wrong with your mods?

And a mod pushed this tribalizing nonsense to front page ?

Let me tell you yoruba, this country doesn't belong to you lot alone!! Let them breath!!

Every post and thread is directed or centered around the push for anti ibo because of Peter Obi and it is getting out of hand .

If others won't speak up I will!!

Call me ibo Hausa or Efik I don't care! The yoruba tribe is getting out of hand !

Imagine this rubbish angry
