An elderly woman participating in the nationwide #EndHunger protests in Sango, Ogun, has criticised President Bola Tinubu for plunging millions of Nigerians into hardship and poverty, praying for deliverance.

“I came from Owode to join the protest. Is it acceptable for we elderly to be begging for alms to survive? We beg for alms to survive. I and my children are starving,” the woman lamented in a viral video recorded at the protest ground.

The woman decried unemployment among youths and bad roads.

“Our children don’t have jobs. Men and woman in Sango are unemployed. No jobs. All the roads are bad. (God) Deliver us from this government,” she stated. “Deliver us from Tinubu. What he promised to do are not what he is doing. He is suffering us. Deliver us from his government. Rice is unaffordable. Garri is unaffordable.”

Meanwhile, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has warned Mr Tinubu of a potential revolution over his security forces’ high-handedness.

“The serving of bullets where bread is pleaded is ominous retrogression, and we know what that eventually proves—a prelude to far more desperate upheavals, not excluding revolutions,” Mr Soyinka warned.

The president’s longtime ally added, “My primary concern, quite predictably, is the continuing deterioration of the state’s seizure of protest management, an area in which the presidential address fell conspicuously short.

“Such short-changing of civic deserving, regrettably, goes to arm the security forces in the exercise of impunity and condemns the nation to a seemingly unbreakable cycle of resentment and reprisals.

“Live bullets as state response to civic protest—that becomes the core issue. Even tear gas remains questionable in most circumstances, certainly an abuse in situations of clearly peaceful protest. Hunger marches constitute a universal SOS, not peculiar to the Nigerian nation.”

Tinubu is not the cause of hardship; he's just the man at the helm during a complex time. The issues of unemployment and rising prices didn't start with him. Let’s be honest, every administration faces its challenges. Instead of begging for deliverance, we should focus on constructive dialogue and hold leaders accountable while supporting initiatives that uplift the people. Change requires collective effort, not just protests!

Siléwá àbí kí lorúkō eé. I have been reading your comment for quite some while and I discovered you and chinkoalhaji are blinded by stupidity to the point of being silly.
For your information I am a farmer, a big one at that but the plague in aso rock has put me out of business an example will suffice;

During buhari, a Cote D'Ivoire cutlass-d original goes for 3500# but now it 7500#. 30 by 120 feet land clearing pre- Tilumpu is 1800 or 1500 depending on how thick the bush is but now it is 4500 or 3500. A nursery chemical called sharpshooter goes for 1800 under buhari but now it is 4500. To enter my farm from AMAS barrack where I residence during buhari cost 500# but now it is 1500.

There are so many examples but the few is enof. Sincerely you and your cahoots like legendidiots who calls himself legend hero and flee Nigeria can support whosoever you want but for you to come online and support this madman called the plague in aso rock is to spit in our face.
Before you called me IPOB my name is Adénlé kéhìndé Adéolá
