What’s driving these kinds of reactions?
Across Nigeria, political frustration often shows up in symbolic ways—like rejecting food items or palliatives linked to a political party. When people say they’re “rejecting rice,” it’s usually not about the rice itself. It’s a way of expressing:

Economic frustration — rising food prices, inflation, and hardship

Disappointment with governance — unmet expectations since the last election
