Nigerian musician Eedris Abdulkareem has sparked a conversation about ethnic bias and regional tensions in Nigeria with his recent comments. Abdulkareem questioned what the reaction might have been if Russian flags, which were discovered with protesters in the northern part of the country, had instead been found with an Igbo man.

In his remarks, Abdulkareem suggested that the response from both the public and the government could have been markedly different, potentially more severe, due to the ethnic background of the individual involved. He highlighted the deep-seated ethnic and regional divides that influence perceptions and actions within Nigeria.

Abdulkareem's comments have prompted a broader discussion about the unequal treatment of different ethnic groups in Nigeria. Many have taken to social media to express their views, with some agreeing with Abdulkareem's perspective and others offering differing opinions. The incident has brought to light ongoing issues related to ethnic discrimination and regional favoritism in the country.
