NIGERIA is building a 13 billion dollar gas pipeline to Europe that passes through Niger and Algeria. When completed, it could triple Nigeria's annual income.. Putin is against the project because it will reduce European dependence on Russian gas. The coupists are backed by the Kremlin, so will sabotage/stall the pipeline project if allowed in power.

That's why NIGERIA is pushing to invade Niger.

Niger Coup Threatens Nigeria-Morocco 30bcm Gas Pipeline Project

Intellinews.com

A $13bn project to build a gas pipeline connecting giant gas fields in Nigeria to Europe is threatened by the recent coup d'état in Niger.

The long discussed 5,600-kilometre pipeline could fuel 11 countries along the African coast on its way to Morocco and then be connected to the energy system of Spain or Italy was given fresh impetus after Russian gas supplies to the EU were cut off last year.

At a meeting held in the Nigerian capital of Abuja last June, energy ministers from Algeria, Nigeria and Niger agreed to accelerate the work on the mooted Trans-Saharan gas pipeline (TSGP), which could carry 30bn cubic metres per year of gas exports from the three countries to Europe.

The idea of the trans-Saharan pipeline was first proposed in the 1970s, but revived in 2002, when the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Algerian national oil and gas company Sonatrach signed the Memorandum of Understanding for preparations of the project. A feasibility study was completed in September 2006, and it found the pipeline to be technically and economically feasible and reliable, however, little progress on the project has been made since then until a new MoU was signed in 2022 revived hopes for a fresh start.

With a length of 4,128 km, the pipeline would link Warri in Nigeria to the major Hassi R'Mel gas hub in Algeria, passing through Niger and initial agreements with the old regime were already reached. However, the new authorities that took over last week do not share their predecessors' enthusiasm for relations with Europe.

The coup in Niger has become a tussle for influence between East and West rivals in Africa. The ousted President Mohamed Bazoum was pro-Europe and close to France, which was a major supplier of commodities to France, including uranium. However, the new leader General Abdourahmane Tchiani, the former head of the presidential guard, is aligned with Russia and has already cut exports of commodities to France.

The EU is already heavily involved in the dispute and trying to maintain its commercial ties with Niger, while Russia has also been very active in promoting its relations with African leaders offering them free grain and discounted funding for nuclear power stations amongst other things.

The pipeline presents a win-win outcome for a number of African countries. Anyone who argues to the contrary is uninformed or has knowingly/unknowingly bought into Russian propaganda without restraint

Now it of course needs to be said that Europe and the USA benefit even more, since gas will be procured on the cheap once the pipeline is completed; and Russia can be brought to heel by the deluded hawks in Washington.

Lest my intervention here be mischaracterised by the usual suspects, I have no issue with Russia's demand for a greater level of respect on the world stage. It just so happens than I am a Pan-Africanist first.

...The Trans-Saharan Natural Gas Pipeline is being developed through a partnership between Nigeria’s national oil company (NOC), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and Algeria’s NOC, Sonatrach – holding a combined share value of 90% – and the Government of the Republic of the Niger – which will hold the remaining 10%. With much of the estimated $13 billion investment being spent in The Republic of the Niger, and through which 841km will be constructed, the pipeline is expected to boost the energy sector of the landlocked, west African country, enabling it to monetize its vast natural gas resources and drive economic development.

So, if you don't to transport it to Europe for sale, how will it be useful to you in Niger Delta? Will you be sniffing it or drinking it? Illiteracy is a big disease.

We will make use of it when the country splits or goes back to regionalism. Other regions should go and generate their own wealth.

The kremlin was also building similar project to Europe biggest economy through Germany and the European Union stopped it.

Now,the real politics has started...Europe will definitely suffer.

Napata77:


The 'research' was staring you in the face.

''At a meeting held in the Nigerian capital of Abuja last JUNE, energy ministers from Algeria, Nigeria and Niger AGREED TO ACCELERATE the work on the mooted Trans-Saharan gas pipeline (TSGP), which could carry 30bn cubic metres per year of gas exports from the three countries to Europe.''

OLODO.

I will keep on educating you while you insult. Mooted ...yes due to issue between France and Algeria as i stated earlier. That is Trans Sahara. The meeting was to resuscitation the project. WAPCo is different from that. WAPCo is the pipeline referred as Nigeria Morocco pipeline. Again research well.

Abeg we get Air defense system for Nigeria at all?

Niger will also benefit from the pipeline has the coup plotters announced that they will stop the pipeline project?

Let Nigeria supply first to African countries b4 going to Europe. Nigeria projects benefit individuals in power not the country as a whole.

Thought Europe placed embargo on Russian gas?

The little money we make... They will steal it... Is it when our revenue is doubled that they will not still steal.. Any how

There is a pipeline from Nigeria to ghana existing already. With plans to build it to Morocco. Make we face that one first:

I replied to someone's comment but here you are ...
I have not too much to entertain you Agbado-+ rian.

Bigkoko:
The same way the Brits sabotaged Soviet built Steel Plant in Ajaokuta till date. Tell me why Karma is called a bitch?

Russia has since planned for this war, and has plans to stop it and will do anything to stop it. That is why they started supporting coups in other Franco Phone countries before Niger.
Russia through its foreign Ministry has issued a warning and mobilization private citizens for Wagner is ongoing for full confrontation with Nigeria & ECOWAS forces. Russian soldiers wont be here but Wagner PLC taking orders from Kremlin.

Iran will gladly supply Shahed drones that is terrorizing Kiev as we speak. This will be their payback for the 2000+ Shites massacred by Nigerian Army led by Buratai, and subsequent humiliation of Sheik Zakazaky. Make una get sense small before they use una test new weapons systems..


Ukraine has the best air defense NATO can boast off, but with drones, your oil & gas installations will go up in flames within one week. Oil Companies will declare Force Majeure, by agreement they are immune. You that depends on salary will be the hardest hit..... That small community slot you dey take hold body for Escravos or Eket go stop first. mo say we no bring una update.

If Asiwaju wants to fight, he should use his ronu brothers and hope Lagos bears the flights of drones...

The West will also supply us super air defense systems

Very true.

Thomthom:
The little money we make... They will steal it... Is it when our revenue is doubled that they will not still steal.. Any how

Abeg stop talking rubbish.

The more money the country makes, the more money is available for public services even after corruption.

This was why things were better for everyone during Jonathan's era despite them being extremely corrupt.

The country was earning a LOT of money from high oil prices.

There is huge corruption in America. But it's not an issue because they have an annual budget of 8 trillion dollars!

Even if all the politicians steal 1 billion dollars each, it would hardly make a dent on the budget.

Same in Saudi Arabia.

They have a population of 25 million or so, with 3 times Nigeria's oll deposits and daily output.

So they make huge money for their small population. The result? Their Sheikhs own luxury mansions in Beverley Hills and Monaco, with billions of dollars in their private accounts, but the population are well fed and happy with every infrastructure they need.

Because there is excess money, nobody notices the massive corruption that makes whatever Nigerian leaders steal CHICKEN CHANGE in comparison.

So you can cry about corruption all you like. Makes no difference.

You yourself if you are elected to high office you will enrich yourself, so spare us your self-righteous bollocks.

The key is to RAISE NATIONAL INCOME so that the living standards are improved DESPITE corruption.

Pierocash:
The project can pass through Morocco oga. Lagos to Morocco by road is less than 62hrs,so the project can bypass Niger through Morocco

Please list the countries it will pass through from Lagos to Morocco.

But the line from Nigeria must pass through Niger.

You can see why Vladimir Putin is very jittery about this line.

And if a Kremlin-backed military regime is in power in Niamey, Nigeria can kiss goodbye to the project.

The first thing they will do is sabotage the whole thing.

And we've already paid billions of dollars for it!

Habaaa!

So you honestly think the junta will cancel the contract because of Putin? Wow!

Don’t you know how much Niger stand to benefit over the years from the contract?

Do you think they will choose handouts from putin over a solid investment and steady income like that?

There are loads of reasons Nigeria wants to invade Niger. But they are all negligible.

The major reason for the the planned invasion is to avoid the trend of military takeovers in the rest of west Africa especially Nigeria. It makes it easier given the fragile and flawed democratic system we practice here.

In other words, the junta is not there for Putin’s sole interests. Tinubu is not also invading Niger because of the so called pressure from west or any gas pipeline.

Deemas:


Did I hear you say Mali?

Exactly!

The countries the pipeline have to pass through are being taken over by Kremlin-backed coupists!

This is why Abuja is desperate to get rid of these juntas in the Sahel.

It has nothing to do with pleasing France or America and all this nonsense people are saying.

You don’t know Vladimir Putin.

He can dash the junta 3 billion dollars to ride through the sanctions, and send his Wagner boys to sabotage the pipeline and blame the French.

The junta will keep quiet for a long time and delay/frustrate the project.

Yes
