Moscow's Clout in Africa Grows: Nigerian Protesters Wave Russian Flags

Russia's clout in Africa is mainly due to the Soviet Union help to African liberation during the western colonial period in Africa

[@rozaliamajores4798]

Russia never colonized nor used people as slaves as the Western countries did, today there are working child slaves in the USA, some brought in from Ukraine!

[@Thor.Jorgensen]

Did you pick up a history book this or the last century? Nigeria was granted its independence peacefully. Not due to the violent overthrow of any government. However during the cold war, China shipped millions of cheap Type 56 rifles, that looked like AK47s, all over Africa, arming primarily ethnic militants. A new form of colonization. One where money could be gained from conflicts and the weapons trade. Russia would begin arming the other side with their later-developed AKMs, to gain a slice of the weapons trade money.

Good analysis; right conclusion. Keep it up, ma!

[@mokotjolegodi9753]

As an African, one can tell you that you cannot separate our people from Russia because for us it(Russia) resembles freedom

[@eyepain4992]

No wonder africa is so behind. A terrorist entity that occupies others is freedom To you

[@muhammadbadri739]

Congratulations you have done good job.

[@willemnatangwehaipinge5199]

Russia is God's right hand......

[@denengbaka7210]

Yes we preferred Russia

[@gallantvibes]

Why is firstpost not talking about the Biafran people of eastern nigeria that not part to this protest, demanding break away from Nigeria,why, investigate about it so the world should be aware because we are coming with a fire on 2nd December in Nigeria, northern nigeria protest with Russia flag is just a childs play to what is to come.

Africans need to boost their economy

[@felixodian7697]

Useless army

[@pahzman]

True they are fighting against their own people just to help a few corrupted politicians, who are working for foreign companies interests in Nigeria.

[@tomatala]

Africa NEEDS BRICS

[@julunorman1924]

I think we Africans should protest without waving another country's flag otherwise. It makes the protest meaningless.

[@delphinmagbakolikoa9006]

Why not if they (Russian's) are honest people to help us ?

[@Megaliberator-mt4dc]

Grow up. In geopolitics you need powerful trusted alliance. America and Europe are trusted allies against everyone. Russia China has proven to be trust worthy based on our history. China's win win policy towards Africa is good. Russia is like tower of refuge and strength when it comes to defending our freedom and resources against imperialist theft

[@robertjoaseus-fo3nh]

Let Russia's flag be flown everywhere in Africa.

[@ConfusedBobsleigh-to9lv]

I really admire this lady ❤

[@Cadet528]

Dont ever compare Nigeria to Mali Such disrespect

[@Cadet528]

What happened in Mali can never happen in Nigeria At least not anymore

[@MountH212]

Shut up. Each case is unique

[@TimelyInspiration-qp7yi]

Nigerians full of pride when the country is same as any other shit show on the continent.

[@Wallstreetartistry-POD]

If it was South Africa said this, You'll be calling us Xenophobic.

[@soumi1984]

You will soon look up to mali, niger and Burkina because for the first time in African history, they really stood up and chased away the westerners, something the so-called giant of Africa can't do lol.

[@OlaoluwaEric-v9g]

Very good

[@David-io9lp]

I'm no fan of the current government, as a matter of fact I hate the current government. However, waving the flag of a foreign nation, in my view, is treason. It's totally unacceptable.

[@kabakoailu8770]

And now I ask, does Africa need "democracy"?. Haven't Nigerians elected a new president just of recent? Long live Uganda!!!!!
