Some Nigerians have been having a wrong notion of the Flag on the left side of the President to be that of the Russian Flag during his last broadcast to the nation on Sunday. A Nigerian Influencer in his explanation, on his X page, tries to educate the masses on the subject matter. :
Read Below:
For the avoidance of doubt , President Tinubu did not fly a Russian flag yesterday during his broadcast to the nation.
The flag you see to his left , which enemies of the country purport to be Russian flag , actually represents the combined colours of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
The colours Red, Navy Blue and light Sky Blue represent the different forces : the Army , the Navy and the Air Force.
The Russian Flag is similar to our armed forces flag. However, It is almost the reverse of our flag in that, whereas , our armed Forces Flag is Red, Navy Blue and light Sky Blue , the Flag of the Russian Federation begins with a white colour , then a Blue and ends with a Red.
Another difference between the Nigerian Armed Forces Flag and the Russian Flag is that whereas, the third colour of the Nigerian Armed Forces flag is light Sky Blue, the first colour on the Russian Federation Flag is white.
Please note the difference , and do not let anyone gaslight you into hoisting and waving Russian Flags on the mistaken belief that it is the same flag flown by our President and Commander-in Chief of the Armed Forces during his speech yesterday.
