A Nation Divided by Hardship: How hunger protests exposed Nigeria’s growing divisions
Early Morning Tension in Abuja On Thursday, Abuja awoke to a city steeped in tension. At the MKO Abiola National Stadium, hundreds of anti-government protesters gathered, their voices rising against a backdrop of severe economic hardship and corruption. Prominent activists like VeryDarkMan, Deji Adeyanju, and Barr. Kingdom Okere led the charge, with chants of “End Bad Government” and “Bring Back Subsidy” reverberating through the air. Their placards bore stark messages: “We are hungry” and “Tinubu, where is the change?” Among the protesters was 32-year-old Jane Hingir, who shared her emotional struggle to make ends meet. “I’ve been struggling to make ends meet, but it’s getting harder every day,” she said, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and determination. Jane’s personal story mirrored the broader national struggle, highlighting the everyday challenges faced by many Nigerians.

Jane’s personal story mirrored the broader national struggle, highlighting the everyday challenges faced by many Nigerians. Pro-Government Rally: A Contrast Meanwhile, in stark contrast, a pro-government rally took place at the Tinubu/Shettima campaign office same day. Organized by the Tinubu Support Group, the demonstration was marked by a calm and orderly atmosphere. Participants in this rally were given branded T-shirts and faze caps, displaying their support for President Tinubu. Led by Minister of State for Police Affairs, Hajia Iman Sulaiman-Ibrahim, the rally showcased a divided political landscape. The Dynamics of Hired Protesters A parallel demonstration involving hired protesters emerged. These individuals, recruited to oppose the anti-government protests, carried placards reading “No Protest.” Organized by a man who identified himself as Blessing Joel, they said that they were paid N5,000 each to participate. Many of these hired protesters came from the suburbs, highlighting how financial desperation influenced political demonstrations. Gabriel, an unemployed man from the capital, admitted that he joined the pro-government rally for the N5,000 offered. “I know things are bad in the country and the economy is not working, but the money was a big reason why I joined them,” he revealed. This highlighted how economic hardship often sways political participation. The March and Its ConsequencesBack to the story: at 12:02 pm on Friday, the anti-government protesters began their march towards Eagle Square. A heavy police presence, including FCT Commissioner of Police Bennett Igweh and security personnel from the Army Headquarters Garrison Command, NSCDC, and DSS, added to the tension. A helicopter hovered overhead, intensifying the atmosphere. By 12:39 pm, the protesters faced a harsh response at the Central Business District junction near the United Nations building. Security forces deployed tear gas, and reports emerged of a protester being feared shot dead while trying to escape. Despite this, the protesters regrouped at the MKO Abiola National Stadium by 1:50 pm, their determination undeterred. A Moment of Solace: Friday Juma’at Prayers In a poignant display of resilience, the Muslim faithful among the protesters observed Friday Juma’at prayers amidst the turmoil. This moment of solemnity stood in stark contrast to the earlier chaos, symbolizing their unity and unwavering commitment to their cause. We pray for peace, but we also pray for justice,” said Shehu Ibrahim, who led the prayers. The prayers not only provided spiritual solace but also renewed their resolve.Contrasting Responses: Anti-Government vs. Pro-GovernmentThe treatment of different protests revealed stark discrepancies. Anti-government protests faced severe crackdowns, while pro-government rallies proceeded with relative ease. This discrepancy drew criticism and highlighted perceived double standards in the government’s approach to dissent. The contrast became a focal point for critics, raising concerns about fairness and justice. Voices from the Government Amid the turmoil, government officials weighed in on the situation. The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, addressed the nation on Wednesday, warning that the protests could lead to further violence and setbacks. His speech aimed to quell the unrest but failed to appease many. Read the full article

While acknowledging the motherly role of the first lady, Mrs Tinubu prayed for good health and divine intervention in the affairs of the firstlady.

The House of Representatives has rejected a bill seeking to amend the Nigerian Constitution to provide for a six-year single term for the offices of President, state governors, and local government chairpersons. The bill, sponsored by Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, also proposed a rotational presidency among Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones and a single-day election for all political offices. Despite these proposals, the majority of lawmakers voted against the bill during its second reading. History of Similar Proposals This is not the first time such a bill has faced rejection. 2019: A similar bill sponsored by John Dyegh from Benue State proposed a six-year term for the President, governors, and members of the National Assembly. It also failed to pass the second reading. Dyegh argued that a longer single term would reduce the cost and violence associated with re-election campaigns. Senate Approves Tinubu’s ₦1.77 Trillion Loan Request Prominent Supporters: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar once advocated for a six-year single term as part of broader electoral reforms, including electronic voting and stricter candidate verification processes. Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State also expressed support for the idea in June, highlighting the distractions caused by re-election campaigns. ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Gallant, Hamas Leader Deif Debate and Arguments Proponents of the bill argue that a single term would: Curb irregularities and violence during re-election campaigns. Reduce election costs, which are often triple that of initial campaigns. Allow officeholders to focus on governance without the pressure of seeking re-election. Breaking: Simon Ekpa, Four Others Arrested in Finland Over Terror-Related Activities However, critics contend that a six-year term might not guarantee improved governance and could limit citizens' ability to hold leaders accountable within a shorter period.
