Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman, a popular social media activist, has called for a nationwide protest in Nigeria due to the country’s continued economic hardship.
On Saturday, he announced the national protest in a video on his Instagram page, urging youths to demonstrate in large numbers on July 29th and August 5th to express their dissatisfaction with the government.
The activist voiced his disapproval of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.
He criticised the present government, citing increased food, transportation, and housing prices, as well as insufficient and frequently delayed salaries.
The statement urged immediate action to demand answers from the administration, emphasising that the people could not continue to live in such conditions.
