France President Emmanuel Macron pose like the legendary Nigerian icon Fela Kuti after the world cup victory.

The picture has sparked debates online as regards his controversial hand victory sign, which bares a resemblance to the legendary Fela Kuti.

"The raised fist, or the clenched fist, is a symbol of solidarity and support. It is also used as a salute to express unity, strength, defiance, or resistance."

I think Macron "subconciously" raised his 2 fists as a symbol of Fela
The 2 raised fists are associated mainly with Fela Anikulapo-Kuti
as a symbol of victory/resistance!

"Raising the arms in a victory salute to mark a gold medal winning performance and slumping the shoulders in defeat come naturally, according to a study published today."

Fela was indeed a legend and a visionary. He referred to Buhari as a "Craze Man" in "Beast of No Nation". And truly the craziness of the Buhari era cannot be explained.

Why are they covering Putin with umbrella but not Macron?

Because Putin is a Nigerian related to Buhari.
