A mild drama played out on Friday as residents of Lagos Island and traders of the popular Idumota market expressed dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu, shouting in Yoruba, “Ebi npa wa oo” meaning- we are hungry.
As the president’s convoy passed through the always bustling market, the traders lined up on both sides of the road and refused to wave him down. Instead, they continued to discuss their suffering, which they felt was brought on by the government.
Residents were heard grumbling that the president knew the people’s plans, which is why there was so much security, beneath the disgruntled voices in the video. But the supposed original plan remained a secret.
The President is in Lagos to celebrate both Christmas and New Year.
It was gathered that Nigerians are currently celebrating the Yuletide under a series of economic challenges ranging from the shortage of cash to the skyrocketing price of the premium motor spirit commonly called petrol.
