In9ja.com, has gathered that residents of Ibadan, Oyo State capital, took to the streets on Monday morning to protest against the escalating cost of food items and the biting economic hardship in the country.

We learnt that the protest march, staged in the Mokola area of Ibadan, witnessed a crowd of placard-carrying youths expressing their discontent.

It was further gathered that their chants resonated through the air as the protesters conveyed their frustration, with videos of the protests quickly gaining traction on social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), under the hashtag #Enoughisenough.

Reports say some of the messages on the placards included demands such as ‘End food hike and inflation,’ ‘The poor is starving,’ and ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises,’ all reflecting the prevailing sentiments of the demonstrators.
