June 12: Nigerians Hit the Streets, Demand Real Democracy!
Today isn’t just Democracy Day it’s a day of bold voices, peaceful protests, and a rising demand for real change in Nigeria.
From Lagos to Abuja, Nigerians have taken to the streets, led by the fearless Take-It-Back Movement, civil society groups, and everyday citizens tired of the silence. Their message? “Enough is enough!"
Despite tight police presence, protest leaders insist they won’t be silenced. They’ve written to the police not for permission but for protection, standing on their right to peaceful assembly.
Even more powerful? Fifteen top civil society organizations have teamed up, choosing a single protest ground to make their voices louder and harder to ignore. This unity sends a clear message: the people are watching.
Meanwhile, armed security surrounds the National Assembly as President Tinubu delivers his Democracy Day speech inside, celebration; outside, agitation.
One protester put it best:
> “We’re not just celebrating democracy—we’re fighting for it.”
So, what side of history will you be on?
Drop your thoughts below. Is Nigeria truly a democracy or just playing the part?
