As Nigerians celebrate the Armed Forces Remembrance Day, the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari performed the symbolic tradition of releasing the white Pigeons as part of the activities of the day.
The Pigeons however refused to fly.
The President’s repeated effort to get the pigeons to fly, yielded no meaningful result as the Pigeons would still not fly and the few that made out of the cage only ended up perching on the cage.
Nigerians have however reacted as they gave several supposed reasons as to why the pigeons would not fly.
Some believe its a reflection of the current situation of things in the country.
Read reactions:
The pigeons failed to fly because they are hungry.

The pigeons will at least not be attacked for their effective civic disobedience.
They will also not be told by scoundrels of patriotism to relocate just because they pointed out evident facts of Bad Governance in their country.
Thank God for small mercies. ✍🏾

How dare the recalcitrant Pigeons?! Opposition parties must be held liable for this failure to launch in the spirit of peace. Apologies Mr President, don’t mind them. The pigeons must be investigated and their collaborators smoked out. Nonsense. 😡 https://t.co/FRUIjlEHI6
