Some youths have trooped to the streets of Niger State to protest the ongoing cost of living crisis in Nigeria.

They wielded placards such as ‘Enough is Enough’; ‘Stop Anti-Masses Policies’; ‘We Are Not Slaves In Our Country’; ‘Hardship Is Unbearable’, ‘Fuel Subsidy Must Be Back’, among others.

The protesters marched on the streets as they chanted anti-government songs.

Our correspondent saw some of the protesters on Abuja-Kaduna expressway and attempted to speak with them but they declined.

The Federal and State governments had made several efforts to stop the protest, saying it could be hijacked by hoodlums and enemies of democracy.

Last week, Governor Mohammed Bago had wooed residents of Niger with welfare packages to prevent the protest.

He had announced a N20,000 wage allowance for state and local government civil servants, ordered the immediate release of 50,000 metric tonnes of assorted grains to be sold at subsidised rates to mitigate the current economic hardship.

“We have over 100,000 metric tonnes of food in our reserves, out of which we will be releasing 50,000 metric tonnes to be sold at 50% of its present price. Before the end of the year, we will slash food prices by 90%,” he had said at a townhall meeting.

To show appreciation for their efforts in combating banditry, insurgency, and other criminal activities, the governor announced a gift of one Prado Jeep to each head of security agency in the state.

Hunger protest in Niger State? This is just another avenue for chaos.

When will we learn that protesting without a solid plan only leads to more suffering? Instead of channeling energy into destructive demonstrations, why not engage with the government and demand real change? Protests that turn violent only exacerbate the problem and put innocent lives at risk.

Nigerians should be wise enough to see that protests without purpose are a waste of time. Hunger isn't solved in the streets; it's solved in the boardrooms and through policies that uplift the people. Let's focus on constructive dialogue rather than chaos.

30k per month media propaganda allowee no go reach u buy 1/2 sack of rice and u no need clothing and housing, since u are a mad person walking naked and exposed to weather outside

Stock up your homes people , it's surely gonna be a long protest

This protest will definitely start from the north...

If I were tinubu I'll be more concerned in that region

Hunger protests in Niger State? This is just another distraction from the real issues plaguing the country. When did protests ever solve hunger? Instead of burning tires and blocking roads, why not focus on finding real solutions? It's the same old story—people taking to the streets while the politicians sit back and laugh. If only they knew that their actions only give the government more excuses to crack down. The real fight should be against the corrupt systems that put them in this situation, not against each other. Protests won’t fill empty stomachs; they need to think smarter, not louder.

The only people against this protest are people getting free money from this government. There is hunger in the land beyond human understanding.

Nigerians should come out to protest peacefully against hunger and hardship like VDM.
VDM didn't commit a crime. Protesting peacefully is never a crime.

And it is the job of the police to ensure the rights of peaceful protesters is not infringed upon.

Emi lo kan to collect wotowoto

Na tinibu turn to collect


Hehehehe

The guy n his goons are dumb, the main protest that can end his career will come from the north

Niger State, where hunger protests are becoming a trend.

This is just another show without real change.

Those protesting should ask themselves if their actions will bring the food to their tables or just more noise in the streets. Hunger will not listen to mere chants; it requires real solutions, not just protests.

Let’s be realistic...

Muslim muslim ticket is the ultimate. Emilokan yenyen! Now this is where is has landed everyone and the nation.

How many of those people get money left over to buy the food? After spending much of what they have buying at the ridiculously high prices, how much is left over?

I was thinking that all the measures government has put in place to frustrate the protest was yielding fruit,but it seems,that despite all the tactics,the protest would still go ahead.
The annoying thing about all these government action is that nothing concrete is being done to address the cause of the upcoming protest,severe hardship and hunger,instead same old tactics by the government:sponsor pro government protest,arrest assumed instigators,deny access to venues and all manner of rubbish.
I bet Tinubu would finally go on the air tomorrow to try one last attempt to stop the protest
