This was #OccupyNigeria 2012, @MBuhari led a protest against hike in fuel price when it was just 65 Naira. Today @MBuhari is increasing fuel price to 212 Naira

Let’s Match to Ojota
Let’s resume at OjotaThere’s no point sitting at home and complaining how things will get expensive.
Let’s match. This concerns everyone. N212 for fuel in a country were they are reluctant to pay N30k minimum wage is much. Let’s head to Ojota #FuelPriceHike— Lola Okunrin (@lollypeezle) March 12, 2021

Let it be known today that PDP is not the opposition party. We the MASSES are the opposition. We oppose the Fuel price Hike and other Anti-Human philosophies under this administration. Buhari is incompetent, let’s match this March against this #FuelPriceHike 💪🏾

An increase in Fuel Price is also an increase in price of Transportation, Food, Clothes , House rent, Hospital bill, Hair cut … It affects everyone! Not just car owners or Generator users 😢 #FuelPriceHike
