The Defence Flag, The Presidential Standard And The Russian Flag by JohnBullMySon: 10:45am On Aug 06
It's baffling how many Nigerians do not understand State Symbols.

The first picture is the Defense flag. It is the flag of the Nigerian Armed Forces. It is displayed in functions that involve the entire armed forces. Secondly it serves as the flag of the defence chief, used to mark where the defense chief exercises command

The second picture is called the Presidential Standard or the Flag of the President. It is used to mark a physical location where the president exercises authority and command. It flies at Aso villa and also wherever the president may be present physically. Often when the president is out of the villa. The flag is taken down and replaced with a regular Nigerian flag. By protocol the flag should not fly where the president is not around.

The third is a regular Russian Federation flag

I know the flags but because the person who recorded the president's speech used a poor background capture, it looked like the Russian flag.

Tinubu's first move should be to resolve the hunger issue and see how many ordinary Nigerians will be careless about how he runs his government.

Lol... Una go explain taya sha! tongue

A friend of mine will always say:

"Don't blame them if you failed to train them"


In any case, no one is really mistaking National Security flag for that of Russia... Let's quit glossing over the real issue.

The Russian flag is SYMBOLIC!

They are simply calling for REVOLUTION!

A bloody revolution that will directly involve the intervention of world powers like Russia.


The time bomb is just ticking away...!


No one is even talking about the fact that suddenly Bandits and terrorists have suddenly taken a break in the same North.

President Tinubu can't even unite a nation that he claims voted massively for him... Shame!!!

There is a revolution looming... The people are angry, Tinubu should rise to the occasion and do something significant.

Someone said "if they explain Nigeria to you and you understand, they did not explain Nigeria to you very well." 🤔

Nnamdi Kanu once said that revolution that will disintegrate Nigeria will start from the North

That Man called Nnamdi Kanu seems to Prophet o.

Who would ever belief a day like this will come whenthe Northerns will led a rebellion against their very own despite the fact that the President and His Vice are all Muslims

Somethong deep is happening in the North than mere protest. Hausa people dont do this kind of a thing.

If it is Igbos we would have say they are 5 and 6 with protest but this one is not a rocket science
