Point of correction, the three countries do not necessarily need the water ways of ecowas to become economically strong.

ECOWAS members should just swallow their pride and join the confederation as the reality is that the military leaders are for the rest of the African continent's aspirations of total self rule , determination in both political and economic independence. If the rest of ECOWAS are not seeing the broader picture of where the world is going , which is the multipolar world and fail to see the future through the lences of these young leaders then there won't be any other opportune time to utilize the only chance probably left to be part of the economic freedom movement in Africa , they are certainly going to miss the train and their youths will engage in a revolution just like what is happening in Kenya . Truth being told those that are not willing to move with time because they are puppets , shall realize and regret as the youths of today shall never ever tolerate puppets in Africa , their space is fast getting squeezed out . The global power now lies in BRICS or the global South that's the world's future . The hegemonic empire is slowly but sure bleeding to death and it is collapsing before our very own eyes . More are more countries are dumping and moving away from the weaponized dollar and the rest of the world is isolating them . They made a big mistake of waving big stick threatening the military leaders as that was not enough imposed sanctions on them and now they want to lure them back . It will never happen and it is way too late .

Ecowas acted impetuously, obsequiously, and inimically to its own interests. Furthermore, it has lost its standing even among its own people, for in a time the nations of the world are closing ranks along consanguineous lines, you can not but stick out like a sore thumb - to put it charitably - serving foreign imperial ends. Then again, it is to be expected of a class of leadership with no sense of history, much less their place in it!

‘Recalcitrant’ is the adjective you use when talking about wayward children. This gentleman examplifies on precise terms what is wrong with the Nigerian elites. His basic assumption that ‘anti imperialism’ is what drives the decision making of the AES countries is the biggest flaw in his analysis. This leads him to draw wrong conclusions. These leaders are motivated by the lack of independence & sovereignty. The consequences are that they do not control their own state, it’s territory, their natural resources & decision making about their own future. It’s from this that all other challenges such as extreme levels of poverty, unemployment, insecurity, etc, emerge. Adopting an anti imperialist stance is thus a by product of reclaiming their independence & sovereignty.

Especially as Tinubu's history is unclear and unverifiable. This is why I am so sad that Africa's future will be ruined by the same incompetent people that ruined their past.

[@stepheniwundi9159]

Ask Rwanda or Ruanda how it's done without a SEA PORT 😂 Tinubu thought that these countries are like the Nigerian political Parties he can shove around at will. VERY INTERESTING AND ILLUMINATING. Dey talk grammar.

[@josephihedoro8729]

Maybe he is still thinking he is in Bourdillon Lagos State where baba some reigns.Where he has captured the resources of Lagos state since 1999.Using Oluomo to frightened and whipped everybody into line.

I always admire Professor Jibrin Ibrahim’s indept analysis of current events. His analysis on the situation between the three Sahel States and ECOWAS is well broken down. Because that’s the way it is.

HELLO ARISE NEWS FAMILY. WOULD IT BE FACTUAL TO ADMIT THAT 3 COUNTRIES ARE FIGHTING TO REMAIN OUTSIDE OF THE COLONIAL CRAB BASKET? WHY WOULD SANE PEOPLE CHOOSE TO RETURN TO THE CRAB BASKET WITH THE OTHER 12 CRABS?

[@shepsuneteru4740]

WECOWAS should be disbanded totally. Let who go ? They can't control AES.

[@juwe9516]

Typical western condescending tone and language.. Poor narratives....thumb down

[@Patrickmordi-dx1bu]

Excellent analysis and prescription for peace and progress in Nigeria.

[@festusaka157]

Nigeria cut electricity to AES!!

[@godwinmichael5848]

Absolutely you said it all Sir it's a shame for Nigeria

[@jimmyandtheresurrection7247]

As long as you accept lgbt like the Nigerian leader,you're in the good books of the western masters. But this strategy will fail in the end. And he will be bought to shame in front of Africans and God.

[@user-cb1vm3fm2u]

Tinubu is busy creating his own political bandits, can any responsible foreign investors invest in Abuja with this attitude of Wike?the answer is capital NO ,talkless of Nigerian conditions. Very laughable!

[@jahloveredeemer4093]

Look at those lost old men who never learnt anything since they are this earth.

[@Ms_Kymm]

Seems the youth are waking up to the arrogance of the misguided elders of old days 👉🏾it's finally time for a change 🤷🏾

As a student of history, let's look at these military boys. Are they performing or not. Are slaves to the European masters or they are for the good of their people. Do we need to go to Europe to borrow and later put the burdens on the citizens. They are sovereign states. Give them time and let's see their developments. Let ECOWAS visit them one on one.
