There isn’t really one Nigerian language, the country is insanely linguistically diverse. There are sixteen local languages with at least a million speakers, heaps more with fewer speakers, and then a Nigerian dialect of English and a creole called Naija (or Nigerian Pidgin) on top of that
While I personally know nothing about the Nigerian media landscape, I do know that the BBC runs a Naija news service and it has an article about these two
English is very widely spoken there, it’s the lingua franca (and one of the country’s official languages), so anyone who can read is most likely able to read English. Sadly the people Russia preys on are quite probably mostly illiterate (in any language).
