EndBadGovernment Protesters Hold Russian Flag.
The nationwide #EndBadGovernment protests across Nigeria have taken another turn as demonstrators in some northern parts of the country are seen carrying Russian flags during their demonstrations. This development has raised concerns among stakeholders in Nigeria, leading to widespread speculation.
According to various sources, it is alleged that the desperate Nigerian protesters are calling on the Russian government to intervene in their protests. This unexpected plea for international support has added a new dimension to the already complex situation.

The primary reasons behind the protests include hunger, a harsh economy, a high cost of living, and anti-people policies. What began as peaceful demonstrations by the youth has now escalated into violence, with reports of looting and killings by security agencies. The presence of the Russian flag has particularly stirred controversy, as it contrasts with the historical ties between Nigeria and Britain, the country’s former colonial ruler.

Observers find it surprising that the protesters would appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin for help instead of seeking assistance from Britain, given Nigeria’s historical connection to the UK. This development follows a recent nationwide address by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging protesters to embrace dialogue. However, many Nigerians criticized the President’s speech, arguing that it failed to address their core demands, which include the reversal of the fuel subsidy, devaluation of the Nigerian currency, and reduction in the cost of governance.
