Somehow, disheartening and tragic happenings have become our daily companions as a people. In yet another very sad development, I am disheartened by the reports of the death of some students from Nasarawa State University (NSUK) in a stampede while struggling for food palliative from the state government. Just a month ago, about 7 Nigerians, in a similar sad situation, lost their lives while trying to buy rice cheaper from a customs warehouse in Lagos. The very worsening level of hunger in our nation has continued to claim the lives of innocent citizens.

Earlier in the month, a report by UNICEF indicated that about 31.5 million Nigerians will face acute hunger and severe food crisis between June and August this year. This is, unfortunately, happening in a country that is richly blessed in human and natural resources, with vast arable lands for agriculture. Nigeria should have no business with hunger and poverty if we the leaders were caring enough. It is unimaginable how we have sadly descended to a level where people now take unthinkable risks in order to survive.

Now again, our children who were sent to study in a university, challenged by hunger, have lost their lives because of our national unproductivity. I do hope that these ugly incidents will nudge our government into taking urgent measures to end the current food insecurity, by moving the nation from consumption to production. We cannot be accepting food aids from war-torn Ukraine, when we have the energetic population and vast uncultivated lands to feed our nation and the rest of Africa.

Time has come for Nigerians to unite in purpose and solve the challenges facing us. Hunger, as I have maintained, knows no tribe or religion.

I commiserate with the bereaved families of the deceased students, the entire Nasarawa State University and the government of Nasarawa State over this painful incident.

May God give all of us the fortitude to bear this loss and grant them eternal rest. -PO

Peter Obi

Pls permit me to laugh in Swahili first.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂



FTC for the first time after wasting my data on Nairaland for 34 and a half years.


My shout-out goes to Tinubu for updating the sufferings of Nigerians from Version 2.0 to 80.6

We must get common sense by force

Anyway I laugh in Swahili 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Suffer not for a witch to survive

Nigerians take back your country,we are too blessed to be reduced to this.
Stop praying and hoping,poverty does not have an expiring date,if u don't take steps to eliminate all barriers hindering your progress u will remain poor till eternity

Nigeria is too blessed abeg
It's a pity

The bastard below me is fallen demon don't take him serious with the fake likes on his comment,poverty is a lifestyle to them,progress is far from them and it's not even in their dictionary,they only steal,kill and destroy progress because progress rejected them

For university?
RIP to the dead. Our so called human coordination failed them.

May God help us

Avoidable incident


These useless leaders are always good advisers and observant outside of office but once they're out of elective position dem go dey form saint


I was shocked when obi condemned strike, someone health workers had the longest strike under his nose, a cold hearted man

baba chemical reaction. twale
Jokes apart, why cant government be so organised in sharing something for once?

Why can't blacks coordinate themselves... Must everything in life RUSH?
Rip to the young damsel.. na greed cause this nonsense ie just want to March on someone body to get your own

Our brains is just so badd

When Palliative self turn to bandits and gunmen

People were killed in Anambra, Peter Obi didn't say pim. But in the North, he's found his voice.

Igbo lives mean nothing to this one. I don't actually blame him. When he was Governor, he was using Awkuzu SARS to hunt Igbo youths like wild pigs.

This f00lish Pandora man will never react to the killing in his state
It seems they swear for him

May the soul of the departed rest well in Aljanah Firdaus.

Why can't black people especially Nigerians be patient and orderly? People queue in line for food in many parts of the world without this disorderliness.
This is not about food but about people's inability to stay orderly in line. This would have happened if you did any other giveaway.

Pandora as usual is always looking for any opportunity to seek cheap attention.

The price I am paying for living is hearing this sister called obi speak

Okay Mr Reactor. A lesson for people to coordinate themselves like the Chinese and Whites.

100 percent.

Enough of this please. All land borders should be open for importation of food.

Peter girigory Obi is suffering from chronic bitterness, depression and grieves, the hypocrite also had to mention Lagos in his folly, the man is filled with anguish

No any other way to handle this distributing palliative of a thin that can't cost people's lives

RecentHistory:
The 4 people kidnapped in Anambra, this Agulu nonentity has become deaf and dumb to them.

Realtor

Hunger, as I have maintained, knows no tribe or religion

FULL STOP

Students shouldn't have to struggle for food in the first place. The government should take responsibility

okoro:
Ojukwu did not kill Ibos as much as Peter Pandora Obituary when he was the Governor

Awkuzu Sars under Peter Obi used corpses of Igbo youths to sandfill a flowing river. He sabi kill Igbos wella.

One thing about Igbos is that they worship those who get them killed.

Ojukwu
Peter Obi
Kanu
Ekpa

Even the Obasanjo they love most, that one got a medal for killing their fathers.

We need to separate from northern Nigeria immediately fr
Because of ordinary rice people die for stampede

And majority that went to buy the rice na to go resell for Lagos o

RecentHistory:

But na Northerner, he dey roll for ground with him black uniform. Igbo lives no mean anything to am.

According to Peter Obi,
3 Dangote is one equal to 1 Erimus.

15 Igbos are equal to 1 Northerner

Must you bring your lack of basic intelligence to the market square?

One thing an average Nigerian lacks is patience and fear of losing out of free things. This could've been avoided if they were organized.

This is very sad. May their souls find eternal rest.

May all the headslamming terrorists that killed Deborah be deprived of their 72 virgins. Amen.
