In the end all that matters is does Nigeria want to fight this war or not. They're the ones that'll be paying for it in blood and treasure. France is a sidenote. They're not going to die over this.
Nigeria was the country that threatened to lead the military intervention against Niger.
Nigeria is, by far, the biggest country in ECOWAS. If ECOWAS militarily intervenes in Niger, it'll be Nigeria that is able to supply the bulk of the money, equipment, and manpower
