Why Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger Pulled-out of Ecowas

On Sunday 28 January, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, announced they were leaving the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) immediately. All three countries, which were founding members of ECOWAS in 1975, are currently led by military officials..
Now this decision by the three countries, announced in a joint statement read out on Niger national television, is a blow to ECOWAS integration efforts after it suspended the three countries following military takeovers.
Relations between Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and the regional bloc have deteriorated for months and this is the latest chapter of this story…

A BLACK POET SPEAKS Tinubu, don't ask why Niger, Mali and Bukina Faso are leaving Ecowas, rather learn from these brave, fearless and determined countries how to liberate Mama Africa from the tight clutches of no-colonialism. Young energetic new breed of Africa who uncompromisingly declined to be puppets of nemesis that oppresses the African People. The task these three small countries are shouldering should be the task for Nigeria,- the so called giant of Africa - where people are swayed by selfish desires for personal agrandisement, decadence, and curruption to the core, whre incompetent elements hijack governmental offices and hope that positive progress, - economic and social-metamorphosis would occure automatically, and not through efficiency and equiibristicall competence. It is most likely that the puppet- nations in Africa might dance to the tunes of their masters and sanction Niger, Mali and Bukina Faso to weaken them and force them to their knees, but they should stand their grounds, practice "Quid Pro Quo" amongst themselves until the storms that now loom are over. - Until the rest African Countries elevate themselves in consciousness, vision and join the crusade for the liberation of Mama Africa from the nemesis. May the Most High YAH bless and protect Mama Africa and her entire progeny and descent worldwide. Amen.

Or by being other slaves to the Russia president Vladimir Putin? What make them different from the other weak and highly corrupt leader's that has been selling Africa away to the west/America Governments, can you tell me? Russia China the West and America has turned Africa into their rivalry field and play's these weaklings that that called themselves leader's like some dice and gullible Individuals like yourself called it an achievement, do you think that Russians love Africans or that Chinese love's Africans? If you do you must be the most gullible Individual to ever live on planet earth, do you think they are different from the West?? it's disheartening that we africans never learned from our ancestoral histories and that's why we are going to repeat the worse of mistakes than theirs, these clueless fools you called heroes kept inviting the West and America, Russia and China to plant their weapon's all over Africa and you applaud them" where will you hide and how easy do you think it will be if they decided to exterminate Africans and take over Africa? Emotions erased you Individuals thinking faculties!!! Having said that, how many court do IBRAHIM TRAORÉ AND ASIMI COITA and the Niger new leader took ECOWAS to for the illegal sanctions, did they put up any fight before pulling out of the only Unity block that took true Africa visionary leaders decades to found? They pulled out simply because Vladimir Putin asked them to without these fools knowing that Putin is trying to turn Africa into a field that he will utilize to compete with the america Government or the West and these fools can't see the pictures, I have never seen a race so dull like Africans" those that our creator gave Kingships but decided to remain slaves to those they should be king's over,
