[PICTURES] Democracy Day: Protest begins in Lagos amid tight security

Protesters, on Wednesday morning, stormed the Ikeja Underbridge in Lagos as the country marks the 2024 Democracy Day.

There is, however, a heavy security presence, as policemen and officials of the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps are sighted at the venue.

The protesters, in their number, chanted solidarity songs as they wielded placards and banners.

Some of the placards had inscriptions like: ‘President Tinubu, let the poor breathe’, ‘For another general strike with mass protest now’, ‘Payment of living wage to all Nigerian workers now.”

PUNCH Online reports that some civil society groups, including the Take It Back Movement, the Education Rights Campaign, the Coalition for Revolution and the Socialist Workers League, are spearheading the protest.

Be ashamed for once my guy.
A cup of Beans was sold #120 just February last year, Today it's #400. It's what those people are protesting for, not your gods in Aso rock in person.

For how long would you continue to sing the praises of these people that do not care about you. For your information, you don't love Nigeria more than the people you attack here on NL, they just want a better Nation for everyone, yourself inclusive. Stop this, Posterity may judge you badly for what you represent

Ebi bayin, ni awon enyan pariwo, Nlfpmod!

So like this Buhari was a survivor..... The educated and highly sophisticated tribe have nothing to offer as a president?

Nawa

Starting from the Lagos he built?
Now have you not learned the hard way? Where's MC Oluomo and all those riffraff who bullied people who came to vote against APC? All of a sudden most of you are not interested in teaching a certain tribe Politics 101.

See how life happens so fast.

When the opportunity to get it right comes knocking again, will we answer wisely or will we still let tribalism and peanut cloud our sense of reasoning ?

What are they protesting for please?


Yoruba people should stop deceiving Nigerians with all these yeye protests to save face.


You wanted your tribesman to become President at all cost despite knowing fully well that if we are to consider justice, equity and fairness, 2023 was simposed to have gone to Igbos to produce President.


Please enjoy your Tinubu in peace as he has been busy enriching Yorubas by appointing Yorubas in virtually all available appointments under Federal government jurisdiction which made Goodluck Jonathan an ex President to come out today to plead with Tinubu indirectly to stop leading a tribal democracy of thinking that as he has become President, it is winner takes it all for himself and his Yoruba tribesmen.



Please enjoy your stolen mandate in peace, nature have a way of balancing things, time will tell

Any protest with banner in Nigeria just know it's sponsored. The day Nigerians really ready to enter streets, there won't be time for banner printing. Dem print banner for Endsars before e start?

That they are tired of standing on his manhood.

Majority of these nuisance voted for the calamity in Asorock

I don't want to see any Ipodic Obeydients amongst those protesters.
Let the ronu guys seek ability from their mandate giver. At the end of the day, nothing would get achieved.
The best way to achieve salvation for the masses is through strategic abduction of those in power. Take them to a classified location. Feed them corn and cassava crumbs for at least 30 days....

Ikeja under bridge is computer village...then just won steal phones nothing else

All I see are Tinubu's ers speaking big grammar.
This man is the only true Nigerian among them. He represent what Nigeria is going through

Abba I no see you o

I don't know why Nigerians prefer to vote for politicians with history of deception that knows how to package lies than a saint or honest person that has clear and good intentions.
I don't know why we like to vote for a radical and questionable politician backed up by violent thugs than someone who is sincere and approachable.
