Hunger: Yobe Protesters Call for Increased Security and the Return of Fuel Subsidy

In the Yobe State local government area of Potiskum, hundreds of young people participated in the nationwide protest on Thursday, calling on President Bola Tinubu to revoke the policy of subsidy removal.


During their nonviolent demonstration against the nation's purportedly corrupt government and starvation, the students voiced this demand.

According to one of the demonstrators, the purpose of the protest was to draw attention to problems facing the country. "We are demanding that the federal government address national insecurity, lower inflation, and reinstate fuel subsidies."


He outlined a difficult time for citizens who are unable to afford basic needs like food, medicine, and necessities, as a result of hyperinflation brought on by the devaluation of the naira and the elimination of fuel subsidies.


"Our people are suffering, hunger, insecurity, inflation of foods and others, we want government to consider our demands," protesters continued. "We want fuel subsidy back."


Another demonstrator, identified as Musa Abubakar, also addressed journalists, saying, "We are here to show our demands and to express our position to the government to look into our demands." We need peace in our land; this is our country," he declared.

The state capital of Potiskum, Gashua, Nguru, Gaidam, and Damaturu had a nonviolent demonstration on Thursday.

TRIBUTE TO THE ONE AND ONLY HERO OF GENEROSITY WHO FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, FINISHED HIS COURSE, RECEIVED A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND FINALLY A CONQUEROR.

We sat here in our sitting  room looking at your pictures. wondering why you couldn't be a part of us for life. Uncontrollable tears stream down my face , while my heartbeat starts to race. Asking God why he took you away from us now. it was more painful than stabbing any one in the heart with a knife.  We still needed you here. You were the one to make everything so clear. You are a part of us and we are part of you. When you died, part of soo many died too. I never knew how hard it was to lose someone you love until the day you went to heaven above.
