Hello greetings and good day everyone regarding to all my fellow steemians colleagues and friends around the world, how are you all doing today? I hope you are all fine and healthy as well as having fun and enjoying this beautiful moments of August, by the way I'm @john247 from #Nigeria, it's my pleasure having you in this New: Contest: Week-10 – "Ten photographs of your village/town" organized by @steem-for-future here in this tremendous #Italy-community.
Sharing with people most especially your colleagues the photos of your town or village is such an amazing idea because this will enhance awareness of new places, things and people living in different geographical areas of the world, so Ten photographs of your village/town contest, is an opportunity to do that, which I will be glad to share with you all the photos of some areas in my town.
The pictures above and below is the photos of my town which was taken during the time of protest against bad government in Nigeria that was earlier this month between 1st to 10th of August, the reason behind this protest is to end bad government and stop the inflation of petroleum and others valuable items and goods in the country.
As a result of this protest there was some hold up in many roads, many buildings such as banks, companies, traffic lights and many other government properties was vandalized and destroyed by the angry citizens of the country, but truth be told the citizens has endured alot imagine living in a country where the cost of living is higher than what you earn in a month, the economic is so hard that even the rich ones are feeling it left alone the poor and jobless ones who don't have anything to provide their needs, one can't feed properly not to talk of savings, unemployment low salaries has become a diseases that is fighting the citizens, citizens are now living like and outcast.
During the period of this protest it was a kind of risky and dangerous to step your foot in the protest ground because someone can be hit and shot by a flying bullet or injured while running for his or her safety, arrested by the police or other security agency for vandalizing and destroying government properties, but despite all this the citizens still came out boldly to protest which I myself followed without checking out the risk involved in it, the main reason am sharing this picture is because the people in my town were not left out but instead partakes in the protest, all this actually took place in Abakpa Nike, Enugu Nigeria which is stated at the watermark of the photos I shared.
I have come to the end of this contest which I will like to invite my fellow steemians @dipi2024 @ukagod @ahmneska to take part in contest thanks.
