Comments from social media users reflect a mix of disbelief and outrage over the treatment of the elderly:

• “See where they’re flogging someone’s father because of bread in Lagos Island. The same Lagos that they claim Tinubu built.”
• Nonso commented, “If your parents or you are here also hustling for bread after supporting and voting for APC, may paper look like money in your sight, and may money look like paper. Amen.”
• Chika remarked, “First of all, people shouldn’t make this about tribe. But why must they be flogging people like this in Nigeria as if they’re animals? Is Nigeria really a zoo or a jungle? They have impoverished them successfully, so why not just give them the bread without dehumanizing them?”

This incident highlights the dire economic situation faced by many Nigerians, with rising food prices and shortages prompting desperate measures. As the country grapples with these challenges, the treatment of its most vulnerable citizens continues to spark significant public outcry.
