“When they are done attacking trucks, they will start with warehouses and shops then estates and houses.”
Nigeria is teetering on the edge. Recent incidents, like the looting of a food truck in Abuja, have exposed the deep-seated frustrations and hardships simmering beneath the surface. This isn’t just about stolen food; it’s a symptom of a nation grappling with a potent cocktail of economic woes, social disillusionment, and a pervasive sense of neglect.

Social activist Aisha Yesufu has sounded the alarm, proclaiming a “revolution of conscience” is needed. But what does that mean? It’s not a call to arms, but a call to address the root causes of discontent before they metastasize into something far more destructive.
Yesufu, in a post via her X handle, said the people will start with warehouses and shops then estates and houses when they are done attacking trucks.
“When they are done attacking trucks, they will start with warehouses and shops then estates and houses.
“The revolution has started,” she wrote.
For the government, the message is clear: band-aid solutions won’t suffice. Cracking down on looters is merely chasing symptoms. The real fight lies in tackling issues like corruption, creating economic opportunities for all, and upholding the rule of law. Only then can the government regain the trust and legitimacy it needs to navigate the storm.
But the responsibility doesn’t solely lie with the government. Yesufu’s call is also a clarion for society. This is about uniting against the forces of division and inequality. It’s about citizens taking ownership of their future and working together to build a more equitable Nigeria.
