I think you don't understand

You can't off your actual revolutionary leader in the 60s
Throw support behind a genocidal lunatic in the 70s and 80s
Act as a rest haven for the genocidal lunatic's people in the 90s

Then start the story in the 2010s when folks (Kagame) are out for blood especially when Kinshasha isn't even close to Eastern Congo and the people out for blood have been deep in number in said province for 100s of years because its a few steps away from Rwanda.

The Pan African narrative doesn't even make sense when the UN and EU are the ones putting out the "Congo genocide" narrative. Tshisekedi reached out to Trump. The reason DRC can't govern Eastern Congo is because the leadership has been getting fat off foreign money and not building actual institutions so how are you governing a province thats not close to the capital if your armed forces are all bandits who do as they please?
I see I get where you’re coming from now. I didn’t realize this was something spanning back decades

what makes you say that, because they threatened Niger and air stuck Benin, their neighbors?

how have they surrendered to France and what exactly would Macron have on Nigeria to be pressured into doing obliging to France?

Yes. Also -

In working to support French geopolitical interests in France, for Tinubu repeatedly seeking medical assistance in France and giving the French government intelligence access to his physical well being etc.

Traditionally, Nigeria’s geopolitical thinkers correctly recognized that France was the main obstacle to Pax Nigeriana. Francafrique’s existence prevents the weight of power in West Africa from fully shifting to Nigeria. In fact, threatened to bomb Kano if Nigeria didn’t give the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon. That’s why France supported Biafra. Weakening Nigeria prevents Francophone African nationalists in West Africa from seeking aid and support from Nigeria which, despite its problems, has a lot of resources.

Now, by acting as France’s hired gun in West Africa, Nigeria has surrendered its goal of being West Africa’s true regional hegemon.

so why has Tinubu taken action on Benin and threaten Niger, but didn't do the same to Mali and Burkina Faso?

I don't know, i just think this is a case of Tinubu trying to impose himself as the head of Ecowas, there is no leverage that France has on Nigeria what so ever. He can't just sit there like a sitting duck and and have all his neighbors being coup't up while Nigeria being dubbed as the head of ecowas not show some posture

Because Benin and Niger border Nigeria and the Nigerian military has logistical limitations with respect to countries that it does not directly border.

And France obviously has leverage on Nigeria - Tinubu seeks medical treatment in France for his ailments and has access to his health records. If Donald Trump repeatedly sought medical treatment with China, you wouldn't think China would have leverage over the United States?

Anyway, who cares about Nigeria. This thread is about DR Congo.
