In Abuja, the group Women Against Hunger held a notable rally outside the National Stadium, spotlighting widespread hunger and economic distress. Singing in unison, the women implored the government to recognize the suffering of Nigerians. Their chants in pidgin English resonated with growing discontent: “If you see Tinubu, tell him hunger dey; if you see Akpabio, tell him we dey for Stadium, hunger dey; if you see Shettima, tell him hunger dey.”

In Oyo State, a poignant moment occurred when a woman over 70 years old joined the one-million-man march, voicing her concerns over the country’s economic challenges. In a video shared online, the elderly woman appealed to President Tinubu, asking for compassion and better governance. “We are not violent protesters. Help us to beg President Bola Tinubu to pity us. We are hungry. His government has turned many into beggars. We are protesting peacefully,” she said.

The video, which has gone viral, was accompanied by a social media post on X: “Grand Finale #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria, the elders are out, hear their grievances #IbadanProtest. We are not backing down on the struggle for total liberation. The aged are involved in protesting against #Hardship in the land.
