A tweet by American singer Beyonce's charity in solidarity with anti-police brutality protesters in Nigeria has angered some online users.
Beyonce had in a statement said she was working with organisations to support those protesting.
She said they were aiming to "provide emergency healthcare, food and shelter".
Some Nigerians said they weren't hungry and wanted change.
"We starved of justice, human rights and other social amenities not food!" Chimmy tweeted.
"Keep your help and aid to yourself, I don't need it and the dead definitely don't. All we needed was your platform to create awareness for the whole issue but you prefer to send us aid like the "poor" set of people we are. Never again. Keep your aid to yourself. We'll remember," Tomiwa tweeted.
"Who told Beyonce that we are hungry? Sis just lend your voice like Riri and co.," Papi Jay tweeted.
Some defended Beyonce saying she was offering support.
"That's stupid, and after what? She gon talk without doing anything? She's offering her money and health support and you ask for a voice?? I don't understand people!" Queen Domi tweeted.

Why was Tina Knowles,Beyonce's mom so rude to Tiwa Savage after she nicely asked Beyonce to add her voice to protest against the police brutalities in Nigeria? Saying she is an entertainer and not a political leader even. Are Rihanna,Naomi Campbell etc political leaders? What does it take for Beyonce to add her voice condemning this SARS issue? How can it be described as bullying when she is asked nicely to add her voive. Or she is only interested in increase my her fame further in her music career by being the first American artiste to do a big musical collaboration project with African music artistes? Everything else about Africa ,which is the continent for black people,and obviously where her fore father's originated from,she doesn't care? I doubt that. I think Tina Knowles went too far in her lash out or clap back at Tiwa Savage & it looked embarrassing to read. Pretty childish for an aged fifty plus mother.We in Africa love and respect Beyonce. And it would have been wonderful to have her voice added to this issue of fellow blacks being physically abused and murdered by police.
