In a surprising turn of events, protesters in Kano State, Nigeria, defied a curfew and took to the streets in large numbers, waving Russian flags and calling on President Vladimir Putin to “save us from hunger and poverty.”
The protesters, who gathered despite the government’s efforts to restrict public gatherings, expressed their frustration with the current state of affairs in Nigeria, citing widespread hunger and poverty.
By invoking President Putin’s name, the protesters are seemingly expressing their desire for a leader who can provide relief from their suffering. The move has sparked controversy and raised questions about the government’s ability to address the basic needs of its citizens.
