“If We See Tinubu, We Will Beat Him Up Over Hardship” – Nigerian Market Women Warn

Market women in Ogun State are calling for the resignation of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, citing the rising costs of goods and the ongoing hardships in the country.

Expressing their dissatisfaction with Tinubu’s administration, the market women went so far as to threaten a one-on-one physical confrontation with the President.

These sentiments were shared by the market women in a video interview with a news reporter, as seen by SaharaReporters on Wednesday.

They emphasized their disappointment in Tinubu, particularly in the context of the Yoruba community and the broader Nigerian population.

An elderly woman said:-

“He has disappointed us in Yoruba land, he is not behaving like a Yoruba man.”

Another one asserted that:-

“Everything is so costly to the extent that we cannot afford to buy one bowl of garri. We are tired of everything, when I started business, a carton of fish was 200 naira but now it is 20,000 naira.

“We don’t have food to eat, old people are dying. Business is not moving, and there’s nothing. We are all hungry.

“This problem is too much. If you can’t solve our problem, don’t add to it.”

Another trader appealed to the president to have mercy on Nigerians, saying, “We’re tired of Nigeria; everything is costly, everything is getting costly every day.”

“What he promised us is not what’s happening now. This is too much.”

“At this point we are tired, things are too costly. A carton of Titus is N100,000; it used to cost N17,000. Kote is going to N60,000. Shawa, which we used to sell for N70, now goes for N700.”

When asked what they would tell the president if they had the opportunity to see him, one of the traders said “We will beat the President if we have opportunity of seeing him, we will beat him. What he told us is not what he is doing.”
