#Russia has expressed its support and solidarity with the Federal Government in its fight against insurgency and associated security challenges.

The Russian Ambassador to #Nigeria, Mr Nikolay Udovichenko, said this in his address on the National Day of the Russian Federation, Thursday.

``We know from our own experience, how important it is to stand together in the fight against terrorism.

``Our country is ready as it has always been, to lend a hand to Nigeria in this struggle,'' Udovichenko said.

Udovichenko said that the Russian Federation had maintained close and friendly relations with Nigeria since its independence.

``These relations have always been based on mutual respect and mutually beneficial cooperation,'' the ambassador said.

He also said that Russia would continue to encourage and support Nigeria's strides in economic and social development.

Since we are not sitting at the tables with the U.S on security matters, arms et al, we naturally are going to attract all her adversaries. Soon we would be getting support from the Arabs to fight the insurgents. What a mess of a nation.

And is that a bad thing? Do you believe the U.S. are saints?
