Spreading like wildfire, more states are joining in the protests against the high cost of living in the country, which is a reminiscent of the 2011 #OccupyNigeria protest against petrol subsidy removal that lasted more than a week, and 2020 #EndSARS protest against police brutality that dragged for nearly a month.
Nigerians in more states are embracing the mass protest against the President Bola Tinubu-inflicted harsh economy as traders in Kogi State on Wednesday staged a massive protest over the high costs of food items. Market women and men who protested in the streets of Lokoja, the state capital, lamented the ever increasing prices of essential commodities and how it has affected patronage of their businesses.
