Lagos Youths Oppose August Hunger Protest, Cite Political Motives
Lagos Indigenous Youth Network (LIYN) has condemned the planned hunger protest from August 1 to 10, 2024, fearing it may lead to chaos similar to the #EndSARS events.
At a press conference in Ikeja, youth leaders asserted that the protest is politically driven rather than for public interest.
Mobolaji Ogunlende, speaking for LIYN, cited intelligence reports suggesting political motives behind the protest. “We are not against citizens constructively engaging their leaders.
However, when such engagement turns into a platform for tension and warmongering, aimed at settling political scores, it is time to exercise caution,” Ogunlende said.
The group urged Lagosians, especially parents, to discourage participation in the protest.
They affirmed their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the state government’s efforts to maintain peace and address grievances. “We say no to any protest disguised as supporting the people but aimed at causing destruction,” Ogunlende concluded.
Nigerian comedian Seyi Law takes to social media as he defends President Bola Tinubu. The comedian stated that the president has done a lot in his administration and claimed that Nigeria is safer and economically sound under his administration.
He then compared how things now to past years under the administration of others, and shared how things were bad. He claimed that now the economy is stabilized.
“Nigeria is safer now than 10 years ago. This government has killed more bandits than any government in Nigeria since the time of Jonathan. When last have you heard of bomb blast in Nigeria?”
It has been reported that fire occurred at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos (MMIA), Terminal 1. This fire incident occurred on Monday, 23rd of February, 2026.
Passengers at that terminal were spotted running away for safety after seeing the fire and the alarm.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) released a statement and shared that no life was lost and people were saved and avoided danger.
It has been reported that Kano State has closed down all entertainment spots across the state. This was stated to happen because of the ongoing Ramadan fast.
The federal government shared that the new law will take place from 18th of February, 10 pm, till the last day of Ramadan. This is in order for the people participating in it to truly focus on the fast.
