“Hungry and Fed Up” – Nigerians Protest Hardship on Democracy Day

As Nigerians commemorated Democracy Day on June 12, the streets of several cities were filled with aggrieved citizens expressing their discontent with the country’s economic situation. The protests, held on Wednesday, highlighted widespread frustration with the current state of affairs under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In Lagos State, a significant number of demonstrators gathered in Ikeja, voicing their demands for the removal of President Tinubu from power. The protesters decried the escalating hunger and economic hardship, which they attribute to the government’s policies and actions.

One of the key slogans of the protest, “Nigerians can’t feed their families comfortably under Tinubu,” encapsulated the widespread sentiment among the demonstrators. They emphasized the urgent need for change, arguing that the current administration’s economic strategies have failed to alleviate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.

The protests on Democracy Day, a date meant to celebrate the nation’s progress and democratic achievements, underscore the deep-seated grievances among the populace regarding economic management and governance. As the situation unfolds, the calls for President Tinubu’s resignation reflect a broader demand for solutions to the pervasive economic challenges facing the country.
