The only thing concerning here is the ignorance. I doubt the flags themselves will cause much, but the ignorance? Definitely

the same thing happened in Niger when they had a coup, all of a sudden Russian flags were flown

Not surprised. I’ve heard a lot of stories from my grandfather’s ex army buddies. I think I talked about it here a while back.

So there is basically a pro Russian/Anti Tinubu split group forming within our military if I can believe what I’ve heard. Said northern army fractions got in contact with Russians via the illegal gold trade in northern Nigeria (volume is roughly 7-10 billion dollars every year).

They smuggle Nigerian gold out of the country because their leaders feel entitled to it. That’s why they use Malians all the time in mines. They are less likely to snitch. The Russians and Chinese don’t trust Nigerians too much. Yahaha Bello was a very popular figure within this movement, basically a middleman turned popular.

That being said…They view the gold as a property of the Hausa and don’t want to share it with the rest of the country. A Yoruba man shouldn’t boss them around. So they smuggle it out and sell it to the Russians at 60% of the normal market value on the black market.

They formed a bond with Nigerien/Malian/Chadian soldiers and are actively planning to stage a coup. The Russians support this idea because they don’t want Nigerian gas pipelines in 2030.

So this particular army fraction most likely paid them to promote Russian propaganda.

Probably in the Nigerian interest to close the Nigerien border even if it increases food costs.

Absolute stupidity. There was also a time l came across Nigerians supporting the idea of being saved by North Korea leader. It just goes to show how desperate people really me but acting irrationally. Russia will now to their people and show them how much love they command. They are probably looking towards what’s is happening in Niger republic, thinking they can encourage same thing here. Russia at this time cannot even take care of its own issues.

Them: We Paid

Some Nigerians in the north are funny. I thought protest was haram and you are only allowed to pray for your leaders? The problem in Nigeria isn’t religion or ethnicity, it’s mass illiteracy. You can’t understand your history,holy-book if you can’t read/comprehend what’s written.

I stand to disagree because even the educated behave this way.

Where did they get the flags from? What do they mean exactly by waving these flags? What sort of strange rubbish is this?

This also happened in Niger when they had a coup, the plot here is to make it seem like Nigerians are in support of Russia and expand Russian influence here
