Nigeria is currently witnessing massive peaceful protests as thousands of citizens have taken to the streets starting today, August 1, 2024. These protests are expected to continue until August 10, 2024, with the aim of protesting against rising inflation and the poor governance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The protesters are complaining about the increase in prices of essential goods such as food, water, and clothing. In many parts of the country, the cost of living has risen rapidly, while the salaries of many people have remained stagnant. This situation has made it difficult for many citizens to afford basic necessities, prompting them to take to the streets.
Among the major grievances of the protesters is the rise in prices of basic foods such as rice, flour, and cooking oil, as well as access to clean water and clothing. This increase in prices has posed a significant challenge for low-income families, who have been struggling to cope with the difficult economic situation.

The leaders of the protests have criticized President Tinubu’s administration, blaming it for the lack of effective plans to address inflation and the country’s poor economic conditions. Citizens are calling for the government to take immediate action to reduce the cost of living and improve the country’s economic situation.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been in power for a long time, but critics argue that his administration has failed to address the economic challenges facing the citizens. People are demanding changes in policies and strategies that will help lower the prices of essential goods and improve their living conditions.
