Benin Market Women Protest Over Government's Removal Of Store Roofs( Photos/Vid) by Rebuker(op): 4:05pm On May 21, 2025
Breaking News:

Women traders at the New Market in Benin City staged a protest after government workers began removing the roofs of their stores without any prior notice.

According to an eyewitness, "They were suddenly asked to vacate their shops without being informed beforehand that the Edo State Government planned to ‘rebuild the market.’ The women were caught off guard when men just showed up and started dismantling their roofs under the guise of renovation."

Angered by the unexpected action, the women took to the main road, blocking it in protest.

Edo and Ibadan, I don't even know the one with the higher number of Brown roofs.

But let's tell ourselves the Truth. There is no way the state govt wouldn't inform the market women beforehand. They would have been told, but u know the attitude of some Nigerians, they wouldn't want to leave until an action is taken.

But I can't see any pictures or videos wherein a roof is been pulled off

Brown roofs are a sign of early development – at least, in the area of building. Those ungalvanized corrugated iron sheets were the first to come to West Africa and replace thatch roofs. So these are mostly houses built in those early days before galvanized sheets, asbestos, etc. became the norm.

To illustrate, if you compare major Western cities and major Chinese cities, you will see that the building patterns are not the same - because the Chinese cities were built more recently, they have a different style and look.

This thing has nothing to do with the governor, the practice is common in most markets across different states in Nigeria undecided

And the renovation of roofs will take another weeks displacing the women from their source of livelihood

Politicians enjoy suffering the masses

They know that once the renovation is done.
There is no shop for them again. Only those with Government connection will be allocated the new shops.

The "Insecurity" Governor is at it again...

With his WAEC Result that makes Buhari looks like a first class student, why won't this Governor misbehave...
