The incident took place during Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary on Tuesday, sparking widespread reactions about the country’s growing economic hardship.

In the video, citizens are seen standing in long queues, while Nigerian Army personnel direct them in batches to receive one loaf of bread each.

The distribution was carried out by individuals wearing customized T-shirts with images of President Bola Tinubu and other APC stakeholders.

The footage, which was shared on various platforms, including Instagram, shows the masses scrambling for the bread in a tightly secured environment.

A blogger, thetattleroomng, captioned the video, “Lagosians seen queuing up amidst strong security to receive bread in celebration of Nigeria Independence Day.”

The bread distribution has raised concerns about the severe economic conditions Nigerians are facing.

Many believe the struggle for basic commodities like bread reflects the deepening poverty in the country, exacerbated by high inflation and the removal of fuel subsidies, which have worsened living standards.

A comment from a netizen on Instagram, @official_donlatino, summed up the frustration: “No be rice again them done reduce una to Agege bread e never reach 2 years e come be like this. Them even carry Army dey share Agege bread.”

Another user, @bum_bad, expressed surprise at the scene, writing, “Is it that these people can’t afford bread? Or they are just not contented with what they have?”

Similar sentiments were shared on X (formerly Twitter), with users expressing their disbelief at the sight of people queuing for bread.

One user, @iDAN, commented, “I never thought the day would come when Yorubas would be lining up for a loaf of bread.”

Recall that massive protests were recently held in August and on October 1, as frustration mounts over the government’s inability to address issues like inflation, unemployment, and the high cost of living.
