In a video that has since gone viral, residents of Lagos State were captured expressing their frustrations to President Bola Tinubu, who is currently on holiday in the state. The incident unfolded as the president’s convoy passed through Idumota market in Lagos Island. The video showcases a notable lack of enthusiasm from the crowd as the president’s convoy navigated through the populated market. Instead of the expected cheers and waves, traders and bystanders could be heard expressing their grievances in Yoruba, with chants of “Ebi npa wa oo,” meaning “we are hungry.”
The residents, lining both sides of the road, took the opportunity to voice their concerns about the economic challenges they are facing. The discontent was palpable as onlookers refused to shower the president with traditional cheers, opting instead to draw attention to their struggles and hardships. As the convoy passed through the ever-busy market, people could be seen sharing their stories of economic woes. See below;
Gabriel Jesus celebrating a goal. Source: Reuters Jesus was regarded by many as the heir to legendary striker Sergio Aguero at Man City, but the Brazilian called time on his spell with the Citizens in search of regular first-team football and joined Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal for around £45m last summer. Before departing the Etihad, Jesus was the only recognized striker at Man City, but he preferred to operate out wide under Guardiola, leaving the Catalan boss without a natural focal point before the arrival of Erling Haaland. Speaking to the “Denilson Show” podcast, Gabriel Jesus said the turning point in his City career came during their home game against Paris Saint-Germain in November 2021 when he was named on the bench by Pep Guardiola. Jesus replaced Zinchenko in the second half and set up the equaliser before scoring a late winner to give City a 2-1 win. He said; “There was a Champions League game, PSG, at home, in which he put [Oleksandr] Zinchenko as a false 9. Crazy thing. The day before, he didn’t even use [Zinchenko] in training, he had put me in as a striker. … Zinchenko even joked with me: ‘that day I felt bad for you.’
