Nigerians have once again taken to the streets of Abuja for the 10th consecutive day in a massive one-million man march, protesting against the severe hunger, hardship, and poor governance under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. The march is part of a larger nationwide protest, tagged #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, where citizens express their frustrations over the country’s economic difficulties.

On Saturday morning, protesters were seen carrying banners and placards with messages like “End Bad Governance in Nigeria” and “Nigerians are tired of bad leaders.” The peaceful protests have turned violent in some instances, as security forces, including the police, have attempted to suppress the movement by dispersing crowds with tear gas and arresting participants, including journalists covering the events.

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, who is also the convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, confirmed reports of police violence, including the tragic killing of a teenage boy in the Kubwa area of Abuja.

Despite these challenges, the protesters remain resilient, continuing to demand relief from inflation, food scarcity, and the rising cost of living. The government, while claiming the protests are sponsored, has yet to provide evidence to support this accusation.

The march symbolizes the growing frustration among Nigerians as they call for better leadership and economic policies that address the urgent needs of the people.
