The economic policies of Bola Tinubu’s government, according to a group of Yoruba market women in Ogun State, have left them and other Nigerians feeling hopelessly miserable. They have expressed their rage and despair over these policies.
Speaking to a reporter from Sugarlink Concepts in their own tongue, the women expressed their disappointment in Mr. Tinubu, accusing him of forsaking the Yoruba people and humiliating them in front of the Igbo people.
Social media users have been sharing the interview video nonstop since Somto Okonkwo, an X user, uploaded it online on Monday.
One of the women said: “He didn’t act like a real Yoruba, he embarrassed all of us in Yoruba land and in front of the igbos.”
Another woman declared that she had no interest in politics since she believed that they were aggressors and had made matters worse in the nation. She threatened to summon thunder’s wrath for anyone who came to ask for her vote.
She said: “I have never been in politics because politicians are destroyers and making the country worse. No one should come and meet me to vote, they should call all their generations that are enjoying their money to vote for them. If anyone come out for election na thunder go strike am.”
The women expressed dissatisfaction with the exorbitant prices of commodities, particularly fish, claiming that it had become unaffordable for them and their clientele.
A fish seller said: “I sell different types of fish but I can’t eat out of it because it is too expensive. If I cook a derica of rice at home and I hear someone greeting me ‘good morning’ or ‘good afternoon’ I will quickly hide the food before they get close.
“Things are expensive. We used to buy carton of titus 17k before now na 100k. Cote fish is 60k, shawa we use to buy 70 naira per one is 700 naira now.”
The women said Mr. Tinubu had not lived up to his promises and had made their lives more difficult, and they threatened to beat him up if they ever saw him.
