The only serious issue to address in Nigeria is the economic hardship and bad leadership.

Russia is doing good in Africa,if you do good, good shall follow you .Why are not Africans waving the American flag?

If Nigerian govt knew how to run a country, they wouldn't have to worry about Russian flags

I am a Nigerian and have been living in Nigeria . I do not live within the areas where flags are flown but can say with assured confidence that, as it were , a hungry man is an agree man. People in the Nigerian far North think Mali and others are better off with military . In as much as Nigerian Military looks away from how we think Tinubu is faltering, to wave Russian flags is like a protest against Nigerian Military. We think Nigerian Military is not serving as conscience for the people. We have already seen that the Judiciary have sold out. The bold talk : if the civil administration can not work , let them go at once. At my Near 70 , if you can believe me , then you won't get the truth. Nobody is sponsoring any floating of foreign flag . The law enforcement and Nigerian Military should better leave the people and let the people see changes that will mean sustainable living.

Our leaders in Nigeria they don't know how to lead but they are very knowingly about how to thief's our money 😢😢

These criminal Nigerian 🇳🇬 politicians thinks this is a joke. We must take our country back. Enough is enough

tailor probably saw an opportunity to make a living as people requested for the flag, but now he is the scape goat
-
Tinubu belongs in jail. He should be arrested for all the atrocities he committed. I hear he allegedly bought all the Nigerians oil wells after he became president. Help me make sense of this.
-
Amazing. A poor tailor jailed for making Russian flag. What a democracy! Amazing!
-
You're right. The flags are just a message to the so-called Nigerian president that it's possible for Russia federation to sports Nigerians.
-
We are not saying that the government should give us money or food... Let the price of full should comedown
-
As a Nigerian am telling you now it's over 100 dead
-
I don't know what tinubu is expecting when you are sitting on a hot sit a sit that does not belong to him forgetting that is karma
-
We need military in our noble country
-
So they can fish out Russian flags tailors, but Kidnappers, Bandits and armed robbers are Unknown. Nigeria we hail thee!
-
I didn’t know it’s a crime to sew mass Russian flags in Nigeria 😂 They are even charging the tailor for treason
-
It's a shame for Nigeria military to arrest people sewing cloth because there are afraid Russia may come after them due to their failure and incapability to fight back.
