PHOTOS: Protesters Hold Sunday Service In Street Of Jos Despite Presidential Address

On August 4, 2024, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed the nation in response to the ongoing nationwide protests tagged “End Bad Governance in Nigeria.” In his speech, the president acknowledged the grievances of the Nigerian people, calling for patience and assuring them that their concerns were being addressed. Tinubu highlighted efforts to address economic reforms and emphasizing that the current hardships were necessary for long-term growth and stability.

However, the president’s assurances failed to appease many Nigerians, particularly in Jos, where protesters were seen conducting a Sunday church service in the streets. This act of defiance underscores the deep dissatisfaction with the government’s response, particularly regarding high fuel prices and perceived bad governance. Activists and social media commentators, like VeryDarkBlackMan, have criticized the president’s speech, stating it did not provide tangible solutions or hope for the average Nigerian​.

The protests, which began on August 1 and are scheduled to continue until August 10, reflect widespread frustration over the rising cost of living, forex rates, and economic policies. Despite the president’s call for calm, the protesters remain adamant, demanding immediate and significant changes to improve their living conditions and governance standards​
