Having endured the dire consequences of the toxic effects of the IMF/World Bank induced experimentation in the last one year, the Nigerian people have decided to draw the attention of their leaders to their unbearable plight by embarking on protests. Tagged “end bad governance,” the organic, amorphous and unorganised protest by Nigerians from all divides that have been united by hunger have been on the streets of Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, Benin, Jos, Maiduguri, etc.
Having realised this basic linkage between high cost of energy and inflation, the people enthusiastically demanded an address from the president in the hopes that like former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, President Tinubu will see reason and reduce the cost of petrol by restoring petrol subsidy as a way of fundamentally rolling back the current precarious socio-economic conditions of the people.
And to overcome this state of hopeless helplessness, the theme of the protest may shift gear from “end bad governance” to “end bad government,” with calls for President Tinubu and his government to step down. Already, the protests and social unrests have resurged after his address and is now taking a revolutionary dimension with some protesters brandishing the Russian flag and calling on the military to intervene.
