Former CNN West Africa Correspondent, Christian Purefoy recently founded Battabox.com, the only channel live streaming the ongoing protests in Nigeria. Nigerians can tune in tomorrow to watch the live protests in Ojota. The site has been streaming the live protests since its official launch earlier this week.

According to Battabox.com:

As the international media continues to ignore the growing #OccupyNigeria protests – Nigerians are taking matters into their own hands with on-ground live video, interviews, chanting, prayers and placards with the protesters go to BattaBox.com for rolling coverage of #OccupyNigeria. Also, Nigerians are uploading their videos, photos and protests to air on www.battabox.com/upload.html. This is a Nigerian conversation – BattaBox.com.
