PROTEST BEGINS! After Wike Issued Dangerous Threat, FEARLESS Youth Storms Abuja, Starts #EndHunger Protest At Wuse 2
In the bustling district of Wuse 2, Abuja, a young Nigerian has taken to the streets alone, holding a sign that read ” Hunger dey! ” (” There is hunger! ” ). This protest is a precursor to the larger #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests set to take place from August 1 to 10.
In a video shared by SaharaReporters, the passionate youth calls for immediate action against the current state of affairs. ” Enough is enough, we must protest, ” he declared fervently. ” Tell the federal capital territory (FCT) Commissioner of Police Nigerians are suffering. We must protest! ”
This solo demonstration underscores the increasing dissatisfaction among Nigerians, particularly the youth, with the country’ s governance. The protester’ s actions set the stage for the upcoming larger protests, aimed at addressing systemic issues of poor governance and widespread poverty.
In contrast, Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged Nigerians to focus on finding constructive solutions to the country’ s challenges instead of protesting.
Speaking at the launch of the Grand Challenges Nigeria (GCNg) Project— a global health initiative to combat malnutrition and food insecurity— Shettima acknowledged the hardships faced by Nigerians. However, he emphasized the importance of diplomacy, engagement, and patience.
Shettima also touched on the contentious issue of oil subsidy, describing it as a long- standing burden on the nation’ s economy. Despite the challenges, he expressed optimism that the forthcoming harvests would positively impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
As the country grapples with economic difficulties and ongoing protests, the Vice President’ s appeal is for unity and collaborative efforts to overcome these challenges.
With the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests on the horizon, the nation watches closely, anticipating the potential outcomes of these demonstrations and the government’ s response.
