- Russia moving into Niger, Mali and the Sahel region and the U.S. proposed move to Nigeria brings us right into confrontation with each other. Despite our issues with insecurity, this move would maximise our problems rather than solve them

Remember the Imperialists never fight their wars in their own country. Is always in someone's country.
100!
U r on point. They should FIGHT ON THEIR OWN BACKYARD. U remember the Cuban missile crisis. The US would not have tolerated a soviet base in their backyard
Thereby destabilising, milking dry the resources of the host country and finally destroying the country
Some of those careless African leaders are to blame for that because they have no mind or conscience.
You spoke sense, you get exactly what they are planning.
NO TO USA & FRANCE MILITARY BASE IN NIGERIA 🇳🇬
Including Russia base
Seconded.
I'M EMBARRASSED THAT SOME AFRICAN MEDIA THINK THAT THE WEST IS THEIR FRIEND. THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR HISTORY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO? EVEN CENTURIES AGO? DO THEY REALLY KNOW THEIR HISTORY DECADES AGO? ALSO, DO THEY KNOW THEIR CURRENT HISTORY & WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES? DO THEY KNOW THAT THE WEST HAD NEVER EVER & WILL NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE A DEVELOPED & ADVANCED AFRICA? IS NIGERIA NOT SINKING BECAUSE OF THE ADVICE & POLICIES OF THE IMF & THE WEST? THE UNITED STATES, THE WEST & THE WHOLE WORLD NEED THE MOTHER CONTINENT FAR MORE THAN THE MOTHER CONTINENT NEEDS THEM. SO THE OBSESSION & BELIEVE THAT NIGERIA & AFRICA AS A WHOLE CAN'T ADVANCE, RISE, PROTECT ITSELF.... WITHOUT THE WEST IS A COLONIAL THING IMPLANTED IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS & CONSCIOUS MINDS OF MOST AFRICANS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED DURING COLONIALISM. THEIR COLONIAL MASTERS TOLD THEM TO FORGIVE & FORGET BUT THE SAME COLONIAL MASTERS NEVER EVER FORGIVE & NEVER FORGET. ONLY 6 MILLIONS OF THE IMPOSTORS CALLING THEMSELVES J**S WERE K***** BY A.H. OF GERMANY BUT WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE COLONIAL MASTERS, & THE ENTIRE WORLD RECOGNIZED, PAID & ARE STILL PAYING REPARATIONS TO ISRAEL? BILLIONS OF AFRICANS HAD BEEN K****** WORLDWIDE IS THERE ANY RECOGNITION OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT? A BIG THUMB UP TO THE INVITEE.
@@TheGospelboardDon't worry about Russia.
It has advantages, let not kid ourselves, Nigeria government can’t surmount our insecurity problem.. let not be emotional about it
The USA/FRANCE military base in sahel never solved the insurgency in the sahel and will never solve insurgency in NIGERIA.........let the USA/FRANCE relocate back to their countries of origin
they really want a militarized Africa! they say we are poor but they want to stay in Africa by force!
Real facts
Look at what they did to Haiti. Don't forget how feance destryed Haiti togheyer whit tge United States. The france and the United States are the most racist ,disrespecting to black people them even the nazi
Who set up Boko Haram and ISSIS in the first place?who did? same actors who use at a pretext to have a presence in your land so that they can loot your resources unpaid for.We all can now see why BAT was smuggled into power.It is our national task to protect our generation yet unborn from second slavery.
Thank you
Haiti is already suffering the consequences of admitting France and America.
63 years after independence, is Nigeria matching forward or backwards?
Never accept them. Yes they want resources. No no no.
Yes infuriating deed!
the day Nigeria allows usa to set up a base, that's the day the CIA will show Nigeria shege!!! nigeria will be finished in 2 years' time if that happens. the fear is not USA military the biggest fear is the CIA those people answer to no man except the interest of USA capiltalist
What's wrong with our so called leaders in AFRICA
We ( Africans) don't want any foreign military base in AFRICA
# AFRICA MUST UNITE NOW
NO FOREIGN MILITARY BASE IN AFRICA. NONE!!!!!
Right now at this time they need friendly allies I trust Russia more than China
Total NO to America and France Military Base in any Part of NIGERIA.
If that happens then Africa will be a battle ground for them to test their Amory's
Exactly
that's already happening in Sudan. It should never be allowed to happen in Nigeria.
Really but why are they not testing their weapons in other countries where they have military base. This is a matter we should use our head not our heart. One thing l know the people that have been profiting fr our insecurity issues will never support this idea
@@bobbyadams4257 it's a terrible idea. They have being in Niger for decades. If they helped them fight terrorists, Nigeriens won't want them to leave. The most notorious terrorist in Nigeria was killed by the Nigeriens troops after they asked the western forces to leave.
@@bobbyadams4257 who are the people benefiting? FYI, the West benefits more from war than any other race.
We Don't want USA 🇺🇸 And France 🇫🇷 military base in Nigeria let them go thire country
they really want a militarized Africa! they say we are poor but they want to stay in Africa by force!
U should tell us why u don’t want any of them
@@bobbyadams4257, no need to tell you bcos you won't hear anything being told ok. You are living in stone age, wake up
@@baawabaawa393 there apeople who just open their mouth to talk without thinking , u belong to that groups. Is Nigeria better then Japan . South Korea or Taiwan where America have military base
@@bobbyadams4257 you are quite daft for supporting these neocolonialism catalysts in Africa ,every where they set feet destruction ensues , they are not wanted nor needed here. All they do is dig up all resources they can have ahold up (e.g. Tons of gold stolen from Iraq.) and don't even help counter terrorists but even fund them.
USA, France go away
I could not agreed more with Professor Akinyemi and all meaningful Nigerian warnings President Tinubu not to allow the USA and others to building any military base in Nigeria It's not a good service for Nigeria but very detrimental to Nigeria security
Nigéria should unite with Aes countries and make West Africa great again. We are Sundiata Keïta !
A slave master bring nothing but pains,Nigeria should not mingle in their war,others are chasing them out for a reason
But when you need loans and military aid, you run to them for assistant.
@@TheGospelboardthey should keep their loan and stay away from Africa from now on.
@@TheGospelboardonly their puppet's which they help to rise to power go to them not independend person who wants to fight insurgency, just look how Mali and Burkina Faso is fighting insurgency and they are making progress because USA weapon manufacturer is the people selling arms to the Boko Haram and other insurgency in Africa and do you think that they want you to end the insecurity, so that they can't sell arms which is adding tax to their economy that makes them who they are today
@@TheGospelboardthey are like giving you milk 🍼 while you cry when drinking the milk but Russia is ready to give you water and you will be happy drinking the water and Russia wants you to be independent not to rely on him because he is facing a big gangster called NATO and he wants Africa to be independent so we can know how strong they are
@@TheGospelboard nah...nah bruh, our thief president goes there with propaganda
This is the only time i'm finding Arise tv being useless by even talking and discussing on this issue instead of countering it immidiatrly, i will distroy my Nigerian passport if Nigeria bring in US and French millitary base to Nigeria.
Please do not destroy your Nigerian passport. Would that change your DNA? Rather, we need Afrocentric leadership.
We don’t need them oooo Tinibu
Tinubu is their puppet!!
@@Watti77he said no !
I am so disappointed with this Arise media panel to note that they would argue in support of the establishment of American military base or any foreign military base for that matter on Nigerian soil no matter the situation in Nigeria. I would have believed that they were well versed with what has been happening around them and around the world with regard to super power military bases in African countries. American military base in Nigeria would simply mean occupying Nigeria militarily and otherwise. Nigerian military would become powerless and irrelevant and their space would become part of America which Nigeria would no more control of her territorial integrity. Why are other African countries now struggling to get them out of their own countries if they were of any benefit to them? Nigerians must be very careful what they wish for and you in the media must not be puppets of foreign interests.
I hope BAT didn't hijack the 2023 election to throw us into fire. America and France are the last things we need in Nigeria. They are coming to occupy and use Nigeria as a base to completely destroy the whole Africa because their economy is already worse than the developing countries of Africa. Mother Africa wakes up before Tinubu destroys us because of his greed of 'emi lokan' slogan.

Arise media speak good grammar. they lack substance
Arise does not support the proposal of military base. They are just doing their job.
Rufa'i you should think twice.America and France military will never solve our security problem.
Maybe Rufai is being payed back doors to talk unpatriotic nonsense
@@GodwinOkthat too is possible
Rufai like other presstitudes are not to ve trusted. If the relationship was so beneficial to their host, why kick them out?

I AM BAFFLED WITH THE IQ OF THESE ARISE PEOPLE...WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN ALL THIS YEARS...
Honestly
Una dey call diswans journalist?. These are talkatives that had the opportunity Nigerians listening to them.they stand by the highest bidder
To call this clowns journalist is an insult to real journalists.
You are asking him questions that doesn't make sense we don't want any foreign military base here period
State your reasons. But if u want loans u run to them.if u want investors u be begging them to come. If u need greener pastures , u do everything to migrate to their land.
@@bobbyadams4257 Loans to political puppets? Ask ur dad if he got a kobo from this so-called loans and aides
@@GodwinOk you just expose your low thinking capacity. Do government take loans and share it to the citizens.lazy fools .l will not insult your parents it obvious u don’t respect them. You are so frustrated with your incompetent government to the extend that u can’t properly.
@@bobbyadams4257are you for real?
😂😂
"Let us STOP stealing money..." Very Apt Prof 👌
Perfectly said ❤❤❤
Well said Prof. If Nigeria could put in place a sound and robust governance, the rest of Africa would have a point of reference. Unfortnately, vices such as corruption, emblezement of public funds, tribalism and other such malefeances for too long have been the norm rather than exception! Nigerians need to put their house in order. Africa needs a prosperous, democratic and powerful Nigeria.
That would help them to recolonize Nigeria
Mumus plenty for Naija. Listen to these clueless men and woman with the Arise News !
Nwanem, we are in trouble in Naija. If they try am, allow America to build a base in Nigeria, we are coming home to **** them, you understand my brother, that I promise you from the Diaspora.
The YOuths must stand up for NAIJA; get rid of these old men and women in government. It is your future my people. These are wicked selfish people.
They have sold the Nation to our oppressors for DOLLAR my brother.
No military bases in Nigeria. A foreign military is a waiting invasion force.
Why is this even a discussion?? Is Nigerian base in their own country.
The first time this man and my humble self are on the same wavelength .
NO TO ANY FOREIGN MILITARY BASE IN AFRICA
Who will fight terrorism? BOKOHOROM is ok??
#No to America & France military base. Take it else where please
But when you need better life you run to their country
@@bobbyadams4257 now Africans want to build their countries too. The West should excuse Africa.
@@bobbyadams4257 Western bullies must leave Africa alone.
@@bobbyadams4257It's not free darling we work & pay for everything, black tax. They encourage our leaders to be there a$$leaker, so as to continue borrowing them money in exchange for free mineral resources
@@bobbyadams4257But when you need slaves, resources exploitation, abuse and dirty bloody underground nonsense. Like you are doing all over the world now. You run to open military base shit in Nigeria.
What is the problem, is it by force?? The citizen says NO.
What are your colonial motives?? Have you forgotten about slavery?? It's simple. The Nigerian citizens says no, then go away.
Why not Nigeria base in USA and France
How would a Nigerian base in the USA or France help either country? Weapons? Technology? Does Nigeria have opposing countries around those regions where they need bases there?
God forbid, military base of foreigner in Nigeria when did Nigeria become a place where any countries will just come and build its military base. Nigeria open your eyes well well.
American have military base in Japan , South Korea,Taiwan and other countries , is Nigeria better then those countries
@@bobbyadams4257and how many countries did Africa have military base.
@@mustaphaalibagu2662have you secured yourselves first to go looking for where to build military bases. You think geopolitics is a clout stunt?
@@bobbyadams4257You cannot get into the house of anyone that says no
You shall face it from it citizens
Tell me why you don't accept Nigerian base in your country.
No go away, they don't want you.
@@immyammy7185 it has an advantages use your head not your heart. Nigeria that can surmount her internal insecurity issues or provide 4 hours of electricity daily for her citizen will not have the resources to have a military base in other country
The only diplomatic relationship is that those of you don't want to get a visa band because of self greediness... Nigeria don't need them here
Tinubu has no option . It is „pay back „ time. It is either he accepts their offer or he will be forced to accept it.
@@nnannanwatu4659 he has no choice, it's left for us now
@@nnannanwatu4659 Then Military govt will take over from Northern Military Elites
@@nnannanwatu4659Then hostility from Nigerian citizens towards these masters and exploiters shall go through the roof.
You just cannot make it in any country that its citizens say hail NO. Not in Nigeria.
@@nnannanwatu4659tinubu is not the owner of Nigeria
Prof should know that Tinubu will personally prefer to allow the proposed West military base in Nigeria, so as to be a "good boy" to the West, than calling for foreign policy experts for national consensus to oppose the military base.
West's military base in Nigeria is not a free lunch. Their intention coming to Nigeria is not for fighting terrorism, that is political. They are coming to assert influence in the West African region, not leaving it for Russia to occupy the region, which will be suicidal for the West. This is their reason for coming to Nigeria, not to genuinely come to assist in fighting terrorism. So no free lunch in international politics!
Fight what terrorism when us cannot even fight their problems.
No to all of them. Go home.
The only problem i have with Rufai, is his Western mindset. To him, America and the west are always right, then Russia is the bad guy. He should know better
He suffers from sever inferiority complex
America is no good and russia is not better ..
Rufai is a dummy, I never take him serious.
It's a colonial mentality, once the mind is deformed, unfortunately it's Gona take years of generation to untie
Bro if you understand Geopolitics you will know that the demons you know are better than the Angels you don't know. You see Russia and China are far far bigger bullies than Americans. Ask yourself why all Eastern European countries are running away from Russia to NATO. All these people you see embracing Russia in the sahel are retard dictators including the one I see foolish people hailing as liberator in Burkina faso. With time you guys will understand. Mind you am a Diplomat
Bob Marley has already said it :
Africans unites
Gbam! There is something wrong with Nigeria! Why is Nigerian president secretly going to France!?
Going or not going Nigerians shall be head on tell them no.
Let them try the nonsense na.
If the citizens of a country say no, you the Foreigner have no option.
They should have known better.
I cannot even understand the vacuum Rufai keeps talking about? What is the profit of USA base in the country? Are we now trying to outsource our responsibility of providing security to another state? Does this guy even understand what they call foreign policy and Nation’s Interest? I am shocked the way he talks about a vacuum that he cannot even explain.
He just proved that he is a dummy
The vacuum he is talking about is that this should have been a discussion with the president, that is why he said the news station is filling the vacuum.
@@carolines6195 maybe you should watch again, then you can edit this your post. Hopefully you will get the vacuum he is talking about
Rufai is naive about Foreign Policy.... He needs to reeducate himself
A country like Nigeria should not abdicate its responsibility of providing security for its citizens.
Rufial should shut up and stop saying that Nigeria doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to prosecute insecurity while as the humongous sums of money budgeted to defence and intelligence has been stolen by politicians and military top brass. If America and French are chased away from their former host bases, is it Nigeria that would be used to satisfy their interests? The fundamental question they supposed to ask is why is America and their French counterpart being expelled? And stop insinuating nonsense!
He is a caword
Arise TV is a western puppet. Know that and know peace.
but we don't have that Chief, let's be honest enough. our corrupt institution is compromised.
Rufai's stand is a different point of view and what that led to, was the Prof.'s deeper analysis and further insight into the matter. It is to enrich the discussion. That is what journalism is about! It's not "Thank you sir, what you've said is what I believed too. Thanks for coming" Even when journalists agree with guests, it's their job to still project an alternate view so that it's a 'balanced discourse'. This is why you and I have enjoyed this interview.
Why are we so quick to unleash insults when people express viewpoints that are different from ours? Can't we just be civil, at least?
I think Rufai doesnt really know the economic capacity Nigeria has, i really like the way Prof answered You,
I think they all seem ignorant and oblivious of American politics in relation to the outside world particularly African countries by way they argued with the Professor who knows the implications far more broadly and better than they do. You can’t sit there as Nigerian journalists and support the setting up of foreign military bases on Nigerian soil. Shameful and disappointing indeed to hear that from Nigerian journalists who supposedly are well educated to know better. Would American journalists or ordinary Americans support the setting up of any foreign military base on American soil? Go figure!
Who is well educated?? Those people with godfathers and godmothers?? If he had said that in the same France and US he will be fired.
NO to America & France military base in Nigeria
Rufai displaying his lack of intelligence on African and Global Geopolitics again. Nature may abhor vacuums but there is no vacuum in Nigeria.
But he will not shut up and learn. That is the danger of praising pseudo-intellectualism in Nigeria
@@noneyourbizhe isn't any intellect, big mouth in studio is noting but what comes out of the mouth, I don't watch the so called rufai, I always skip the video.
@@baawabaawa393Nobody should ever watch these senseless people.
THANK YOU PROF
I am not comfortable with two superpowers military base, station in our country ,while wanting to have a face up with another super power like Russia ,so that our case will not be like two elephants fighting and definitely the grasses under their feet’s will surely suffer!
Are you sure this is not another form of balkanization of African continent, specifically Nigeria by the Europeans !
Whatever decision we arrived at, will show how much united we are as a country!!
Nigerian government and leaders must , be very , very careful to take a national stand against all odds!
May God bless and uphold Nigeria amen!
There could be extreme danger associated with allowing foreign military bases in Nigeria. It may wind up against Nigeria's best interest. Why are these foreign powers looking to establish bases in the first place? Definitely not to the advantage of the host nations.
Nigerians better ask questions there's a reason why the sahel countries are chasing them away
No to imperialists bases in our country!
Tell France to get lost.
If Nigeria accept it Biafra people won't accept it get the point clear
😂😂😂😂
Yes o
Bullshit “Biafra people”. Illusion? One unbreakable, united Nigeria.
@@enohknopp2433 na by force
🤣🤣🤣
Could this be the reasons while America cover all the corruption of tinubu, we are here to see the out come of this administration.😅😅😅
we are here for it
Rufai is not really well informed when it comes to French and American occupation of sahel region.i am really disappointed in rufai
He’s a boot licking American/western (colonizers) Stan.
there's a reason he went to school, to study animals. Next time don't expect too much from him.
@@saidat98😂😂😂😂 perfect answer
The Russians aren't doing any better. Those guys went for Russian mercenaries not really to fight insurgencies but to consolidate their hold on power
@@Vista_victorptolemy the topic is about the US and France. The time I checked Russia has shown any interest in having a base in Nigeria. Will you guys stop ranting about Russia? FYI, Nigerians don't want any international or multi national bases on their soil.
Why are they always looking for military bases when we need economic bases just like China is doing? Just say no. I concur with Professor Akinyemi's analysis and I hope the Tinubu administration is listening.
Mali requested of the UNSC a meeting against the background of insurgents being support of France to which to-date is ignored. The US and France are permanent members of the UNSC. It's also been reported that Buka Haram is supported by France. Think clearly!
Yes' please don't allow anyone of them
France was also chassed out of Central Africa Republic. They also rejected American proposition to open mercenary and military instructors. Nigeria is mooked at accross African and particularly PanAfricanists as sellouts to Western NATO.
Look at Haiti?? Was US there. What can they do?? Nothing. What happened to the dead president of that country?? No to US no to France. Go away.
Again, this is why the west wanted a very compromised Bola Tinubu but you people in the media refused amplified during election period, and Ayo i am very much disappointed with your line question, Nothing good comes western military base in African nation.
Exactly on target!🎯
This insanity should NOT BE ALLOWED by any means. If the Nigerian government SUBJECTS the country and it's citizens to this, Nigeria don finish and the very deem light of HOPE will be totally put OUT. Some of us KNOW that Nigeria has been SOLD OUT already, but this WILL be the final NAIL IN THE COFFIN. Tinubu and Co., DON'T collect money for America and France to have military bases in NIGERIA o o.
I hope they are listening
And these two slave masters shall be not wise to accept doing any base deals in a country that its citizens from the start say hail no, go and don't return.
Tinubu is giving us headache in this country walai. Why should we be discussing this in the first place
It's not even supposed to be a question nor discussion. Nigerian citizens shall forever say NO to slave masters. They are terrorist themselves,.
God bless you sir for your honourable opinion and adding to that is the interest of America especially has never and will never be in the good interest of Africa because Nigeria holds the key to Africa stability, therefore under any condition should we allow such on our territory
I have long awaited the esteemed professor's take on this issue. I am happy I am not disappointed. Thanks Prof.
MY GOD THIS SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A DEBATE FOR ANY COUNTRIES TO HAVE MILITARY BASE IN OUR COUNTRY WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR LEADERS FOR GOD SAKE !!!
We don't want them
Allow. American base in Nigeria means recolonization of Nigeria . and wherever American base found there's always problem . American never and would never do things without creating some strategies for American interest . And we all knows American interest . Lets not be rediculus .
Which training? No, no to any base. Dey destroyed Libya hmmm
Nigeria that wants to be a member of BRICS can not have a America military base or France military base in Nigeria
Thank you Prof for cutting the mustard. #NoForeignBasesinAfrica. "The labours (and martyrdom) of our heroes past"...
Mr Rufai I am aghast. The question should be: What is RIGHT about foreign military occupation?! My people say: do not pick up the feather the hen dropped on the road.
You must get rid of foreign military bases. Nigeria 🇳🇬 protect yourself form allies and enemies.
Nigeria must never allow. You cannot have superpower ambitions as Nigeria and host another superpower's military base!
Say no to US. . France military in Nigeria, say no to one Nigeria. We want out of Nigeria, we need our independent yoruba Nation now now!!!
Yoruba nation kpai you there.
With your president Tinubu. Right??
No no no to USA military base in Nigeria
Have you lost anyone to insurgents?
The prof as a former minister is talking sense. We can see that each generation of Nigerian leaders are getting worse with the current bunch the absolute worst to even be contemplating such an abomination
If Nigerian government accepts this then Africa is finished.
I do not support Rufai on this. The Americans would do anything to bring Africa down. How come since we have been friends with America there has never been any development,yet Nigeria resources are being flown to Europe and America daily.
Rufa'i is not listening to the professor about NATIONALISM being echoed. Chauvinistic attitude should be erased unless Rufa'i is seeking for another nationality and is now doing their bedding.
Nigeria should absolutely not, have any foreign countries in their country in the capacity of any bases...
So proud of my African brothers...power to the people.
Must they have bases in other countries, what happened to their country?
😅😅😅😅😅 " of course we know that there's something wrong with Nigeria "
Well said 👏 professor
The whole of Africa is counting on the intelligence of Nigerians to denounce the presence of America and French troops. I strongly believe that Nigerians are Wise people. Please don't let the continent down.
Russia has no military bases in Africa.
So be it. #NoforeignbasesinAfrica

Stupidity is a deadly problem to some people in African social media
Is Nigeria still at that low level of considering a foreign military base in the country.
It is insulting to all Nigerians.
How has foreign military base improve the security of other African countries that hosted them over the years?
Nigeria Dont attempt to accept that
Well if they try let kidnappers deal with them.
😂😂😂
Kikikikikiki. This person def.
can Nigeria also have her military base in America and France? if yes, they are welcome. if NO, they should carry their problems to their country and don't draw international terrorist to our beloved country.
Also, is there a Nigerian base in Russia?
Shame on Nigeria if it allows this. The people must take this to their hands!
We need to strengthen our collective military and security forces throughout the continent, which is our responsibility and not that of any foreign agency, be it UK, Russia, or the US.
We don't want them period
its simple...dr rufai we don't need them, its pays us more to be strategically independent than to lean towards one side,thier presence in the sahel didn't bring any reasonable achievement to these countries....no to foreign military , we can get their assistance , training and so on...not a military base from anyone , whether the french, americans and the russians..
For 15 years you have been fighting insurgency and it has been on the rise. Your own leaders want you consumed by the terrorists.
Tell them make them send it to Israel 🇮🇱 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 they need help
Our naija lives without their helps
naija we are peacefully
Make them no come and scatter our great naija we like our country ley that
We are not longer interested
Long life great naija better days are ahead
Go and ask what happened in Libya and Sudan and iraq 🇮🇶 we done lean from them
Great Nigeria 🇳🇬 up up our great country
This should be a NO NO to this request from the Nigerian government. America will never mean well for any country in Africa
The end will be biafra etc if such happens. It means Nigeria has taken sides and thr opposition will aid Nigeria break up. That simple
What will Biafra eat. No resources. SS cannot and shall never join. SS produces Nigerian resources and they belong to Nigeria and never Biafra.
No any added support but more problem
Awwwwww Am a Ghanaian but Nigeria disappoints me in everything. A giant of African but can't solve your own insurgency problems Jesus Christ.
What is more disappointing than an African president struggling with a "sell out" tag? Thanks for your observation but you might, perhaps, want to look inward.
It will be a big mistake to allow any super power to have base in Nigeria. We already having internal problems.
Not a good idea at all.
I hope they will not cause the types of conflicts that occurred in Asia, e.g, North vs. South Korea, North vs. South Vietnam, etc.
How about Haiti??
All Nigerians say no to
recolonization, resource exploiters and slave masters.
I've have always considered Nigeria to be the most progressive country on the cocontinent of AFRICA, AND THAT INCLUDES EGYPT, DON,T blow it!!! No European MILITARY bases!!!
God bless you both that said no to that military base. Capital NO ,no matter which country wants the base.Lets face the bokoharam only 😂. Thanks
Tinubu would be finished should he allow a foreign military base anywhere in the country.
Why do Niger want Russia military base in his country? Is Russia military not foreigners? Let us welcome America to fight Terrorist that is givings us sleepless night.
The citizens must strongly resist. Not to
Tinubu. Any country that it citizens says no , we don't want you here and they stubbornly push shall blame themselves.
Shame shame shame if you recolonize yourselves from France and US.
First time am be disappointed by Rufai I swear Tochukwu, Olorun, walahi
So what are you suggesting, should all super powers of planet Earth are entitled to have military bases anywhere in Africa as they desire ???
I don't understand Rufai's own. What is his problem with Wagner? Is Wagner threatening Nigeria?
Olohun o ni je. Nigerians please speak up. We don’t have any of these people you’re mentioning. Our problem is our corruption government.
Tinubu is their puppet. FBI file gate loading.
Noooooooooo!!!!!
Yeeeeessssss!!!!!
