Nigerians have taken to the streets to demand better governance and an end to economic hardship in the country.

The demonstration took place today, June 12, being Democracy Day in Nigeria.

The demonstrators, made up of civil society organisations and pro-democracy activists, assembled at the Ikeja Under Bridge in Lagos.

In Akure, Ondo State, protesters also gathered to make similar demands.

Videos from the protest grounds were shared by Take It Back Movement, one of the groups organising the demonstration.

The protesters carried banners and placards with their demands printed on them.


In Lagos, a large number of police officers, including personnel from the Nigeria Police Force’s Area F Division, were deployed on Thursday morning as protesters began to gather at the Ikeja Underbridge in Lagos to commemorate June 12 Democracy Day.

Nobody is stopping u from protesting cos it is your right but don't block roads b don't destroy properties


And if u think a rethink of endsars propaganda will happen to paint the government bad then you will have yourself to blame

It is well, it is your right to protest with sense. If you want to be violent or disruptive please go to your village and start there.

Majority of us still love our peaceful country.

Happy democracy day to my fellow Nigerians

This is indeed a welcome development let us in whatever we can

Na wetin una dey protest sef?

Small time now hoodlums go hijack the thing begin attack innocent by standers

I have a little fault I planned to go resolve at my mechanic workshop today but on second thought I decided to postpone it and stay at home just in case some of these idle people start their stupid protests...make person no come use bad belle break my windscreen for nothing

Are these protesters or jesters.

These are jobless youths helping Sowore get foreign aid while they remain hungry

Why is Atiku and Obi wasting their money

Nairaland is no longer for the emoji posters

Unproductive people

Still on bed when I made the first transaction today. If they had something doing, they won't be wasting their time and energy protesting

How would government policies favour those who are not interested in being useful to themselves?

They are well within their rights to protest. But the question is….after the protest, what next??

A welcomed development. Because the Government of the Day needs to sit up and do the needful.

Every since Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, most protests in Nigeria have peaceful.

If protesters are blocking roads, it's because they are very many. That's an indication that the government is very bad.

You're free to gather and protest but don't infringe on others rights during the course of your protest.

We will back you up with prayers because if things go south now una go blame a particular people

My Advice To Nigerians On Tinubu / APC Calamity, is " Never interrupt Your Enemies When They're Making a Mistake"

Nairaland has brought out the best of you

mushroom crowd not enough to pull any strings

Protest is an avenue to remind a terrible govt as Tinubu's of its 'terribleness'. Tinubu is a terrible president.

i swear no more booking space, but that was one of the fun of this forum

Every successive government in Nigeria is worse than the previous.

That is: Nigerians waiting to steal from the common wealth of the nation are more than those already stealing from it. Which way my people

Please take a moment to write a quality post with at least 40 characters.
This will make the forum more interesting for everyone.

What nonsense is going on on Nairaland?

Hunger seriously wiping people's ass!

Not everybody is hungry...

But people are hungry...

Lucky aiyedatiwa abandoned Akure/Owo/ Ose

People to die of hunger...and insecurity..

#End Greedy bad Government now!

When Tinubu was using them for June 12 protest year in year out they were not jobless youths then oo

If no other state protest, Ondo people should protest. As of today, Ondo State governor is the most useless and the worst performing governor in Nigeria.

So i cannot express myself in one word on this forum

Probably fun for the posters but not for the readers. There might be a very small percentage of times short posts are necessary, but mostly between private chats
