Sowore Leads FearlessinOctober Protest on Independence Day
Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has arrived at the Ikeja under bridge in Lagos to lead the EndBadGovernance protest scheduled for today, Tuesday.
The well-known human rights activist was seen with a large group of demonstrators holding placards, calling for an end to the worsening economic situation in the country.
Sowore, one of the main organizers of the protest, had previously announced plans for a nationwide demonstration on October 1.
The protest aims to pressure the government to address the severe economic crisis affecting millions of Nigerians.
The movement is expected to take place across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), coinciding with the nation’s 64th Independence Day celebrations.
The gathering is not just a call for economic reforms but also a demand for accountability and better governance.
Protesters are using the symbolic date of Independence Day to highlight the gap between Nigeria’s potential and the current struggles of its citizens.
Sowore and his fellow demonstrators hope to ignite meaningful change through peaceful advocacy, pushing for solutions to the growing economic challenges the country faces.
As the protest gains momentum, many Nigerians across the nation are joining the movement, seeking to draw attention to the pressing need for reforms and better leadership.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
