#OccupyNigeria

From Occupy "W"ALL STREET"S" to Occupy Nigeria; if you watched CNN, BBC or even opened your eyes at all in 2011 you would be aware of the mass action protests that have been ongoing globally due to existent socioeconomic inequities in Nation's (developed and developing) where the poverty level continues to rise, engulfing the middle class and creating increased disparities between the have's and the have not's.



While many were still recovering from New Year's festivities, Nigerian civilians were in uproar early this week as news spread that gas prices will be subjected to a 120% increase! Although this will not be the first time Nigerians are protesting the decisions made by the government, #OccupyNigeria has already gained international attention as hope spreads for a peaceful, just and economically sound resolution.
