Nigerians Protest in Lagos on Democracy Day Due of Hardship
During the 2025 Democracy Day celebration, many Nigerians took to the streets of Lagos to express their frustration over the economic struggles under President Bola Tinubu’s government. The protest, which began at the Ikeja Underbridge, saw citizens calling for a reversal of several government policies they believe are worsening their situation.
Despite a strong security presence, the demonstrators held up signs with messages like “Reverse Electricity Tariff Hike” and “No one deserves a death sentence for protesting against hunger.”
Lagos State Police PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, acknowledged the protest and assured the public that everything is under control. He said there’s enough security in place for both those celebrating and those protesting, adding that the safety of everyone remains a top priority.
It has been recorded that UNICEF has noted that Nigeria is the country with the highest number of children who have not received vaccines.
The organisation shared that especially children in urban areas are not accessible to vaccines, and this affects the numbers in Nigeria and the health of children.
“Today’s event is more than a launch. It is a shared political and moral commitment to the right of every Nigerian child to life-saving vaccines, regardless of where they are born or live.”
They shared the importance of the vaccine.
A Boko Haram video goes viral and sparks reactions and concern from Nigerians.
It has been noted that the terrorists made a video stating that their goal is either to convert or be killed. They are basing their actions on the teachings of Prophet Mohammed’s Jihad.
The terrorists also shared that Nigerians should expect more attacks, especially in Borno.
Question/Thought: How do we save ourselves and stop this in Nigeria?
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
