Nigeria Versus Niger: War Inevitable, Says Rowland Okorie

 

 

It is no longer news that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has written to the Senate seeking its support for military intervention against the military junta in the Niger Republic.

 

 

 

 

Recall that Tinubu, who is the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), had on Sunday met with some fellow ECOWAS leaders to discuss appropriate ways to restore democracy in Niger after the military overthrew President Mohamed Bazoum.

 

 

 

 

On the backdrop of all these happenings, Equity Concepts Entertainment boss, Rowland Okorie, has expressed his anger towards ECOWAS led by the Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu the way they are turning their own region into a global crisis.

Okorie, lamented that ECOWAS members knew about the corruption allegations against Tinubu, yet they went ahead and made him the Chairman because they would benefit from his corruption.

The Equity Concepts Entertained boss, expressing his lack of confidence on the African leaders, said; “ECOWAS are not there any more for the purpose which the accord was signed but for their pockets.They knew what they were up to when they handed that leadership position to a man whose legitimacy is under investigation.”

“The corrupt Hausa and Yoruba-led government since independence is leading Nigeria to the brink of war and I am in support of the war.”

Okorie, However, explained why he said he support war in the Republic of Niger because many people may be wondering why he made such a remark.

He said; “The reason is very simple, not just because of the amount of injustice I have witnessed with our African leaders but as a payback to what our military has done to civilians in our great country. The Nigeria military has failed to arrest Asari Dokubo, who in plain view brandishes guns and calls them criminals.”

“Now they want to kill their next door neighbour, in my mind I wonder what they would do when they get into Niger Republic.”

“Nigeria has never fought war before but against their own, the Igbos’. They killed millions of them. Now is time for the Nigerian military to show why we are called the giant of Africa. War in Niger is inevitable. I think it is time for us to review the strength of our military, let’s checkmate them and know how good they are. The only thing they are good at doing, killing innocent civilians.”

“We must give them a chance so Nigerians will know how many of them will survive and see how Niger will surrender to them. They must be a victor and vanquish this time. The Tinubu-led corrupt government is asking for Senate endorsement to invade Niger because he is scared and understands that he will not get approval.”

“He is not a legit president, he has disobeyed court orders on numerous occasions and destroyed democracy in the world as Nigeria is a key player in global polity. In my opinion let there be war.”

ERA Applauds Tinubu Over Mele Kyari’s Sack, Calls for Probe Into Fake Refinery Projects

*ERA Applauds Tinubu Over Mele Kyari’s Sack, Calls for Probe Into Fake Refinery Projects

 

The Energy Reforms Advocates (ERA) have praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his decision to remove Mele Kyari as the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.

In a statement on Wednesday, Abdulkadri Isah, president of ERA, described the move as a courageous step toward reforming Nigeria’s oil sector and tackling entrenched corruption.

He said Kyari’s removal would allow a full investigation into alleged fraudulent refinery projects under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

“The dismissal of Mele Kyari signals a new dawn in our nation’s commitment to eradicating corruption in the oil and gas sector. We commend President Tinubu for demonstrating the political will to confront these challenges head-on,” Isah said.

He urged the newly appointed leadership of the NNPC to prioritise an audit of past projects and ensure accountability in the sector.

“The probe into fake refinery projects must be swift and thorough. Nigerians deserve to know how billions of dollars were allocated to non-existent or uncompleted projects while the country continued to rely on fuel imports,” he stated.

ERA called on relevant anti-corruption agencies to support the process, warning that failure to expose past mismanagement would hinder any meaningful reform.

“This investigation should not end with a change in leadership. There must be consequences for those who mismanaged funds and deceived Nigerians. The government must set a precedent that corruption will no longer be tolerated,” Isah added.

The group also expressed optimism that under fresh leadership, the NNPC could regain public trust and reposition itself as a driver of economic growth.

“With competent leadership, the NNPC can finally fulfill its mandate. We expect reforms that will boost local refining capacity, attract investment, and ultimately reduce Nigeria’s dependence on imported petroleum products,” the statement read.

Kyari’s removal was part of a broader shake-up of NNPC’s board, with former Shell executive Bashir Bayo Ojulari appointed as the new GCEO and Ahmadu Musa Kida as non-executive chairman.

The restructuring aligns with the government’s vision of revitalising the oil sector and increasing Nigeria’s crude oil production and refining capacity.
