A report by The Guardian indicates that the food crisis is spreading like wildfire across the country, forcing many into begging for alms to have a meal.
The situation has seen the standard of living of Nigerians plummet, with many opting to migrate in search of greener pastures, now known locally as japa syndrome, while those still chiselling life out in the country keep wondering if the government is aware of their conditions. “Over 24.8 million people are projected to be acutely food insecure between June and August 2023, including 1.1 million people in emergency , Niger Republic and Burkina Faso .”
A farmer and founder of Menitos Farm Depot, Lagos, Toluwalope Daramola, who expressed grief over the development, said the food crisis is seriously affecting Nigerians, especially low-income earners and the vulnerable, who could no longer afford the high cost of foodstuff and other agro commodities. “Prices of foodstuffs and other commodities have practically gone beyond our reach, and we don’t even have any money to buy them. Stimulus packages promised by the government have not reached us despite the noise. This is a very terrible situation.
