The Federal Government of Nigeria has firmly dismissed claims made by Niger Republic’s military leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, in a viral video accusing Nigeria and France of plotting to destabilize Niger.

According to the Nigerian government, these allegations are purely fictional and lack any factual basis.

Nigeria has never collaborated with France or any other nation to support terrorist activities or undermine the peace and stability of Niger, even amid the political upheaval in the country.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his capacity as ECOWAS Chairman, has continued to advocate for peaceful engagement with Niger despite the current political tensions.

The Nigerian Armed Forces, working alongside the Multinational Joint Task Force, have made significant progress in combating terrorism in the Lake Chad Basin and beyond.

Therefore, accusations of Nigeria conspiring to destabilize Niger appear not only baseless but also contradictory to its proven efforts toward regional peace.

The Nigerian government also refuted claims of ceding any part of its territory to foreign powers for subversive activities against Niger.

Nigeria has consistently upheld its sovereignty, rejecting the establishment of foreign military bases on its soil and demonstrating independence in its foreign policy.

Initiatives such as the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline and the Kano-Maradi Railway Project highlight Nigeria’s long-standing support for Niger’s economic growth.

Suggesting sabotage of such joint efforts undermines logic and disregards Nigeria’s active role in promoting regional development.

Nigeria has invested heavily in combating terrorism, as evidenced by recent military operations such as Operation Forest Sanity III and the newly launched Operation Chase Lakurawa Out, aimed at addressing terrorist threats in the region.

The Nigerian government has urged the public to disregard these unfounded allegations, emphasizing that General Tchiani must provide credible evidence to back his claims.

Such accusations appear to be an attempt to deflect attention from internal challenges in Niger and undermine ECOWAS’s stance against unconstitutional power seizures in the region.

Famous Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has advised young women to be intentional when choosing who they marry.

Speaking at the Dream Count event, Adichie pointed out how much a life partner can influence a woman’s journey. She urged women not to rush into marriage out of pressure or desperation, adding that choosing the wrong person can affect one’s life for years.

She also encouraged women to find fulfilment in themselves, no matter their passion or path. “It’s really important for a woman to have her own thing, something that brings her fulfilment, no matter what it is,” Adichie said.

She continued, “Be careful who you choose. Sometimes, deep down, you know the person you’re with isn’t good for you, but because you’re eager to settle down, you ignore the signs. Don’t settle. The person you marry plays a huge role in how your life turns out. If you choose someone who is kind and supportive, it changes everything. There are good men out there.”

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.

The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.

Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.

He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”

Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
