The pro-democracy group OurMumuDonDo Movement has concluded arrangements to hold a nationwide topless protest rally against the deplorable living conditions of the Nigerian masses and the indifference of political leaders to the plight of the common man.

This was announced in a statement signed by Mr. Adebayo Raphael, the movement’s National Secretary. According to the group, the main protest march will hold in Lagos on June 12. The march, said the statement, will begin at 8 a.m. from the Third Mainland Bridge.

Participants, except females, are required to appear topless with inscriptions of their most harrowing predicament on their placards or chests.

Female participants are simply required to carry placards indicating what they are going through as it relates to the aim of the march.

The group said it was compelled to opt for a topless protest march because of the alarming dip in the standard of living among Nigerians.

“The quality of life of the Nigerian people has been demoted to a pitiable and decrepit state by criminal politicians and insatiable looters of the wealth of the common man. The shared humanity of the Nigerian people has been eternally ridiculed by national miscreants in positions of power. The thieving class in power has denied the Nigerian people of quality life through their endless plundering of national wealth. We know our silence has enabled corruption and impunity in governance but we will no longer sit and watch while our lives and future is looted by the sons and daughters of Jezebel in power,” said Raphael Adebayo, the movement's National Secretary.
