[@gaspar7160]

"Once beaten twice shy!". Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger should never go back to the ECOWAS. The sin of betrayal by ECOWAS has eroded their credibility not only to SAHEL STATES but also to the Pan-African cause. They have lost values and norms promulgated by their founders. They should be allowed to break up like the previous East African Community, and reformulate anew!

Normalizing military dictatorships. The AES lost billions of USD that banks withdrew. Much needed capital for investment. Jihadi attacks are now more rampant than ever. If yiu do not believe, check the acled website yourself. No, the ASS looks like a nice story for youtube, but aside of a few symbolic ‘victories’ it is going down. In Mali people face the most serious power cuts they ever had, they are protesting in the streets for ‘power’. Mopti and Segou are almost completely controlled by JNIM and they are now launching attacks in Koulikoro near Bamako. Who will come to their aid? Russians?

[@alikanji5900]

This is hurting Ecowas economically. There is two blocks now in west Africa. And the new block is stronger and growing fast. The best part is Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali. Are no nonsense lets get our nations developed. People already accepted us now we get to deliver. On the other hand Nigeria has to please their voters and corrupt its people to vote and accept them. The new block is going to out grow ecowas rapidly as long as they can maintain security. God Bless Africa. Mungu ibariki Afrika.

I blame Christianity. As a Nigerian I've noticed the only ones of us that aren't mentally colonized and glorifying our conquerors are those who practice Islam. Christian Nigerians are spineless and stand for nothing but bribery, corruption, being docile and wishing they were white which is why they bleach their skin. I come from a Christian background but I'd be lying if I said Islam didn't intrigue me because I see nothing fruitful of Christianity in Africa. Why wouldn't they praise the white man when they think their God is white?
