Scores of demonstrators hit the streets of Abuja on Tuesday to protest against hardship and poverty rocking the country.
In the photos and videos of the protest tagged #FearlessInOctober, it was observed that the protesters chanted “We are hungry” as they marched on the roads.
Some of the banners they displayed are; “Bad Governance has ended the dreams of Nigerian youths, end it now” “Enough is Enough – Revolution Now.”
“We are buying fuel N1000 and you expect us not to come out and protest. What are we saying – we are hungry,” one of the protesters said.
Osun Defender recalls that the Human rights activist and convener of #RevolutionNow Movement, Comrade Omoyele Sowore, had invited Nigerians across the country to join him in the October 1st protest against hardships, privations, hunger, unemployment, insecurity, and poverty.

Sowore, who made the call in a post on Monday evening, vowed that he could not be silent or indifferent, in the face of the sufferings and privations that the Nigerian people are going through, noting that he will be on the streets of Nigeria to join with other Nigerians in protesting the hardships.
According to him, protests or revolts are the only tool that a people have to voice their opposition to the anti-people policies of their government, adding that it is a right that is enshrined in everyone’s gene.
