[Starmix]

According to the report, protesters in Nigeria's north were seen waving Russian flags and chanting slogans for Russian President Vladimir Putin as anger against the Bola Tinubu government grows.

The report said that Russia distanced itself from Nigerian protesters waving Russian flags, saying it is not involved in the protests or coordinating them. Russia's embassy in Nigeria said it does not interfere in the domestic affairs of foreign states.

The report added that the Nigerian government says it will not tolerate calls for coups or protesters waving foreign flags. Nigeria's military chief also called waving Russian flags a treasonable offence

It's been many days now that the protest in Nigeria did not end. The people have not received the good response from their president about their claims. They want president Tinubo to give the the accurate answer of their demands.

These people are turning the protest into something else. I doubt they even understand the implications of what they are doing right now.

The protesters better find work or clean their surroundings, plant crops do online works rather than doing nuisance and devastations of properties

They want Russia to back the military to stage a coup just like it happend in Niger republic. You can't even blame those protesters. They are tired of the government.

I think it's high time for other nations to interrogate on the Nigerian matters that affect the people of Nigeria so long as the the government has failed to address the burning issues that cause many to die during the protests and demonstrations.

I hope that the Nigerian government hears out the needs of the protesters. Why is the Nigerian government hard-headed?

Putin must be feeling like a god now. But seriously, the Nigerian problem needs a very serious solution. Can we do a Bangladesh?

Putin dislikes the idea of the protesters and the Nigerian authorities promised Russia that it will be stopped.

 

[Stardom22]

I think that Russia is capable of helping the poor Nigerians in finding the solutions to settle down their permanent government marginalisation on the most parts of the country

Putin will not waste his time for Nigeria. He is busy planning several attacks on Ukraine and Israel.
