CNN Africa recently highlighted on their official social media platform, X, that in Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, young people are organizing an “End Bad Governance” march on August 1. This demonstration is a response to mounting anger and frustration erupting in major cities across the continent over issues like corruption, the soaring cost of living, and widespread unemployment.
As discontent among the youth population rises, African cities find themselves sitting on a ‘keg of gunpowder,’ with the potential for significant social unrest. The planned protests in Nigeria are symptomatic of a broader dissatisfaction that could spark widespread upheaval if not addressed.
