While many Nigerians are dissatisfied with the country’s economic situation, a video of several Igbo men cheering President Tinubu’s current administration has sparked much discussion online.
In the mocking video circulating on social media, the Igbo guys said that they were not protesting because they enjoyed the hardships imposed on Nigeria by the Tinubu administration.
Recall that during the 2023 General Elections, the Igbo were widely recognised for their support for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, who lost to Tinubu.
Citizens of the country, particularly Yoruba and Hausa, are complaining about the Tinubu government, claiming that it is becoming unpleasant with an increase in abduction, rising gas prices, and rising prices of products and services as a result of the Naira-to-dollar exchange rate.
The Igbo guys in the latest video raise their eyebrows as they protest in diverse ways.
This time, Igbo men were photographed gathered in their neighbourhood enjoying economic hardship rather than taking to the streets.
The Igbo guys were seen drinking alcoholic beverages before writing songs to commemorate the country’s current progress.
They added that Tinubu must spend 8 years as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and later beamed with smiles on their faces as they dished out popular Tinubu’s lyrics; “On your mandate, we shall stand.”

Another clip also surfaced online where Igbo men gathered themselves at a bar drinking as their way of protesting.
