#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria: A review of what Nigerians are demanding from the ongoing protest

Prior to the commencement of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest, the prices of commodities have skyrocketed in the marketplace making it tedious for the common people to acquire basic goods. The average Nigerian who resides in a modest neighborhood witnessed how inflation disallowed him to get some necessities such as food, home accessories, etc.

Further, the common man struggles to make ends meet while he drowns in debt and battles inflation on a daily basis. The protest was inevitable, it has been looming, the brokenness in the hearts of Nigerians cannot be explained in text, it experienced; first, it is exhausting, then it is even more infuriating when the leaders of the nation are apathetic towards the wellness of her citizens. They have maintained indifference and sent threats, demeaning the relevance of the people who voted them into power.

Insensitive Leaders…

On Tuesday, July 30, the senate president, Godswill Akpabio, prior to the commencement of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest made a derogatory statement at the Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities, Youths and Women Group Sensitisation Conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

“All of us feel the impact of what is happening now. But we are aware it will be for a short while,” he said, apparently referring to the current economic hardship in the country.

The senate president then corroborated Mr Ogbuku’s comments that the people of the Niger Delta were not interested in a change of government in Nigeria.

“Managing Director, I want to thank you for what you said. You said we are not interested in regime change; let us own this government.

Those who want to protest can protest, but let us be here eating,” Mr Akpabio remarked.

Mr Akpabio, a former governor of Akwa Ibom State, is known for often making controversial remarks over serious national issues.

Expectedly, Nigerians were furious at the senate president’s remark and asked for him to be more reverent in issues affecting the common people of Nigeria.

Go ahead and protest while we are here eating," said Senate President Godswill Akpabio, mocking Nigerians.

That statement alone is a catalyst for revolution if Nigerians are serious about real change.#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, #EndBadGovernanceProtest,… pic.twitter.com/wGZAvzu8lY
