"We need to speak up; things are not getting good, they're getting worse," said Tamara (@sologididonatus) in a video shared on X. "My regular balance diet of groundnut, garri, and sugar is my saving grace due to the current economic realities."

Nigerians took to social media to express their frustration with the rising cost of living, citing examples of how prices have skyrocketed under the APC administration. "A plate of food that cost N150-N200 with meat in 2014 now costs N2000-N5000," one user noted.
Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, who is also convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, had encouraged Nigerians to participate in the #30DayRantChallenge, saying "rant persistently and consistently until we WIN!"
Responding, Nigerian tweeps urged that revolution should start from everyone's state of origin.

"Nigerians have successfully fallen into the trap of the politicians inadvertently and it would make it absolutely inconceivable for revolution to happen because we are divided along tribal lines.
"Revolution happens when people are united not divided along tribal lines or insulting themselves
"Reading online comments many have concluded that it is NOT about Tinubu anymore because is oblivious that the hatr£d and bitterness are towards the Yoruba. Instead of insulting the President alone, the aliens will insult his tribe also. Such behaviour has galvanised the Yorubas both at home and abroad to push back against anything. These people continue doing the same thing up till these moments. Some of them are not even hiding it anymore. I can’t fathom why someone wants the whole ethnic perish because his kinsman is not the President."
The tweep cited the recent state of emergency rule in Rivers State.
"Did House of Representatives members vote in favour or against, including Labour Party lawmakers? They voted in favour of a State of emergency when they had the opportunity to vote it down now they ignored the lawmakers who voted in support and shouting Tinubu's name. Leave your sentiment aside and have critical thinking about the issue.
"Nigeria going nowhere when we are cherry-picking the issues that matter. I won’t be surprised if the 80% of people in the 30daysrantchallenge are from one particular region.
"Let revolution start from everyone's state of origin."
