Breaking News: Igbo Youths Block Seyi Tinubu’s Convoy, Reject Rice Donations, Demand Jobs
A massive protest erupted at the Enugu-Kogi border as a group of Igbo youths blocked the convoy of Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s President, preventing him from entering the Southeast with six trailers full of rice meant for donation.
Chanting slogans such as “Take it back! We are not hungry! We need jobs, not rice!”, the protesters expressed frustration over what they described as misplaced priorities, insisting that sustainable employment opportunities were more critical than food aid.
