Nigeria is facing a critical hunger level as it ranks 98 out of 107 countries in the 2020 Global Hunger Index. The country also has the proportion of undernourished in the population rising from 7.6 per cent in 2012 to 12.6 per cent in 2020. According to a consulting firm focused on Africa geopolitical research and strategic communications, SBM Intel’s report, the country’s food crisis is a result of insecurity from Boko Haram terrorists, bandits and killer herders that have forced farmers to abandon their farmlands. Other factors, however, are the lack of proper storage facilities, volatile oil prices, climate change, rising cost of energy and logistics, stifling government policies, natural disasters, the Coronavirus pandemic, and currency devaluation. According to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS) report as published by SBM, food inflation has seen a 48.94% rise (from 15.04% to 22.95%). SBM gathered reports from major food markets across the country and noted how people lamented devastating rising prices of food which have altered their normal daily living. The prices of most staple food items in a typical Nigerian home, including rice, beans, egg, garri, plantain, yam, beef, palm oil, fish, pepper, tomatoes, onions, bread and groundnut oil, have all surged. In Lagos, a housewife disclosed to SBM that the food allowance her husband provides could no longer sustain the family. She precisely complained about her failure to buy monthly food items, which now occurs every two weeks or save from the allowances while expenses keep increasing. A trader in Lagos’s Balogun Market was very specific as to fish, saying that the border closure affected his ability to supplement his fish stock, forcing him to raise prices for the increasingly scarce stock he has. Most of those interviewed in the low socio-economic echelons admitted they could no longer afford three square meals but had one whole meal daily supplemented with snacks. Mrs Christiana, a Lagos housewife and entrepreneur disclosed she chose two-square meals daily, as allowances received can no longer afford her family decent three-meal days. Another respondent who is a wife and mother of two at Sango-Ota, Ogun State, lamented the rapid escalation of prices of commodities in the market at Sango-Ota. She explained how she last went to the market and ended up confused about what exactly to buy since “what N20,000 can but a few months back, today, N40,000 cannot afford the same.” The price of beans and garri in Sango-Ota rose by a significant 97.9%, which almost doubled within the period under review. Beans rose from N1,457 to N2,883 per four-litre paint rubber and garri saw a price rise from N869 to N1,856 per paint rubber. According to her, the price increases of these two staple foods were the highest in the last one year. In Port Harcourt, a four-litre paint bucket of garri, which sold for N1,200 at the end of March, rose to N1,500 by June 2021, an increase of 25%. In the same period, a paint bucket of beans, which sold for N1,500, now sells for N1600. Visits to various markets revealed that in all the markets except in Onitsha, Port Harcourt and Calabar Municipal markets, the cost of making a pot of Jollof rice has skyrocketed. The decline in Anambra, Rivers and Cross River states was as a result of a slight reduction in the cost of beef, onions and tomatoes. http://saharareporters.com/2021/07/16/nigeria-ranks-98-among-107-countries-global-hunger-index Mynd44 Lalasticlala |

That's not a bad grade considering how hard working our President, Buhari is. Before he leaves office in 2023, we will be the overall best. At least since we claim the Poverty capital of the world, no nation has challenged us. We lead others follow. |

Why wont there be hunger in Nigeria when...... No one wants to stay in the villages where there lands to farm All school graduates and leavers are now worshippers of politicians for political gains The ladies want to live the highest flasy lifestyle without source of income or family financial fortune All the youths in Youruba lands see agberro work as a lucrative jobs All igbo boys want to migrate to the overseas to amase wealth through hook and crook ways The Northers are after Military jobs to keep intimidation the civilians INSECURITY is hindering the productivity of the willing populace of farmers, Yahoo boys are praised and virtues and morals thrown to the dogs politicians embezzle the loans meant for farmers and other incentives that will make farming attracting and lucrative All the religious leaders teach us how to be super rich over night by just tithing with faith not work Finally, when the Nigerians hate leaders of integrity like Buhari and prefer those that will share the money and allow open corruption to thrive so they will be happy without any infrastructure on ground. |

 We should be 107 and not 98 What kind of cheating is this, must all these global organization cheat us on everything. How can they deny us our real position, we should be be ranked 107 and not 98th position. Is there any other country where people eat grass to survive apart from Nigeria. I hereby call on Global Hunger Index to reveal the result and give us our correct position because failure to do so we will sue them to ICC. What Buhari cannot destroy does not exist. 1 Like |

greatiyk4u:I concur, couldn’t have delivered the message any better, the President should come & go to the farm for them, this is Africa & we are talking of no food, not technology? Bandits will come to their villages of the ancestors, they will runaway & start shouting President? Tomorrow they will shout they want Country? People that can’t defend their state, how will they defend their Utopia Republic? In the new continue they will automatically summon courage to defend theirselves by any means necessary, they are waiting for the president to tell them that? They prefer chest beating & playing to the gallery. How many tribes from the South of Nigeria & go North of The River Niger & disturb even an 18 year old boy? Yet they will come down south, a whole village will run away shouting help? |

system21: The president is not the problem in this situation the people are illiterate. Nigerians will only vote for an idiot wherever they are. Look at United States of America Nigeria's went to vote for three senators from the second worst city in the world to live in. Nigerians in America went to vote for three senators from a country which is number 9 in Hunger in the world. Our illiteracy and coconut water head cannot do anything right. |
