In a surprising turn of events, some Nigerians were seen waving Russian flags amidst the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests in Kano.
The protests, which have been marred by violence, looting, and destruction of public and private properties, have taken a peculiar turn with the flag of the Eastern Europe giant.
Russia has openly supported major military coups in Africa as a contest against America and the West Europe, like the coup in Mali, Burkinafaso, and Niger.
Some Nigerians have taken to their twitter handle to react to this.
@L0nnewolf: “Russia needs to Take Nigeria away from UK, the US, and FRANCE.”
@YakubTijani2: The real agenda is coming out gradually. The hungry ones have money to buy Russian 🇷🇺 flags
@Drdhareef14: “We prefer military to take over than this irresponsible politicians”
@ABUSUMAYYAH39: “I believe with Russia Nigeria will move forward”
