Residents of Lagos, Nigeria’s bustling commercial capital, have taken to the streets in a protest dubbed “WeAreHungry.”

On Wednesday, demonstrators flooded major highways of the city, voicing their frustration and anger over the escalating cost of living.

Carrying placards with various inscriptions, the protesters are making it clear that they are fed up with the current economic situation that has left many struggling to make ends meet.
