An X post by @turkishcentury has sparked serious online gbas-gbos after the account shared a collage of flags from mostly Muslim-majority countries, boldly declaring:
”Unity will make us unstoppable! ☪️🪖💹”
Among the flags? Nigeria. And that’s where peace officially ended 😭.
The post appeared to promote pan-Islamic unity across religion, military strength, and economic power, aligning with broader narratives around Turkish regional influence. But Nigerians saw their green-white-green flag and immediately said: “No be us.”
Why Nigerians Said “Count Us Out”
Nigerians wasted no time reminding everyone that Nigeria is not a mono-religious country. With an almost even split between Muslims and Christians, many felt the inclusion was misleading, provocative, and dangerously oversimplified.
Some pointed out that Nigeria is one of the few countries on earth ranked among the top five globally for both Muslim and Christian populations a delicate balance that already comes with enough internal tension. Adding Nigeria to a pan-Islamic political collage?
For many, that was doing too much.
Online Reactions: Sarcasm, Anger, and Premium Nigerian Humor
The replies quickly turned into a full-blown Nigerian intervention session. While some reactions were serious and emotional warning against religious extremism and forced identity, others came armed with sarcasm, jokes, and classic Nigerian bluntness.
Many users demanded Nigeria’s immediate removal from the image, with some suggesting that if anyone must be included, it should be clearly defined regions, not the entire country. Others joked about not signing up for foreign religious agendas, while a louder group rejected the post outright, calling it divisive and dangerous.
In short, Nigerians collectively agreed on one thing:
“You didn’t ask us first.”
You can unite economies, armies, and ideologies all you want—but once you casually drag Nigeria into a religious group chat expect chaos 😭.
