Hmmmm I think this should be done using the means of social media. Every concerned Nigerians to do this at home with a short clip of 1-2min video ranting seriously then bombard the internet. Also tagging this those govt officials.

we are already plate are empty pot are empty plsss no money in bank account dey are shouting we are giving out billions we did not see anything
This is the most wicked government I have ever seen! Despite the amount of money that is been donated in the fight against this pandemic some wicked people in government are still playing politics with people lives.
God is watching you people. No money no food and you call yourself a responsible government.
WeWant the lockdown to be over, buhari and his cabinets should allow the poor masses to start their daily activities, this is hunget virus with pure wickedness in the highest order. No go gree ooh for another affliction to rise again no no no.
What is wrong with this government, some Countries gave between 300,000 to 500,000 to their citizens. Why can’t Nigeria give its citizens 100,000 naira and we are asking people to stay at home. Government should do the needful, Even the 20,000 naira government promised is too small.
Animal politican very greediness evils people they’re don’t even fear judgment of god
A revolution with social distancing will be ok. I am not rich but I stand to speak for the less privileged Nigeria. we are hungry.#ppp.
200% ready,hunger kills faster Dan covid-19
I can’t wait for the protest, am equally ready
Infact this is a welcome idea. This our political leader are nothing but an animal. Buhari lockdown the generale while the political idiot are enjoying withing themselves but masses are suffering. Kudos to our leader OMOYELE SOWORE who brought this protest method. Maybe if they hear this there may be a changes.
Motherfucker to APC party and their leaders. Masses will surely fight for thereselves. Revolution now
Buhari cabinets are nothing, they are only deceiving Nigerians. Masses will surely fight for themselves. Masses are tired of this stay indoor, masses are hungry. I will rather suggest that we should all troupe out in mass and fight for the freedom
