A group of religious Nigerians gathered in a rally to celebrate Donald Trump’s re-election as President of the United States, holding banners and singing songs in support of the American leader.
Enthusiastic chants and banners with messages like “Jesus Christ for President Donald Trump” filled the event, though some attendees appeared to be using older banners from previous campaigns, including ones reading “Trump-Pence,” in spite of Trump’s current running mate being JD Vance. 
This display of support for a foreign leader has sparked mixed reactions.
While some view the celebration as a remarkable show of solidarity and hope, others have questioned its relevance given the significant challenges Nigeria itself is currently facing.
However, for the attendees, the rally appears to be a symbol of shared beliefs and aspirations, potentially giving them a sense of optimism amid challenging times at home.
