Na only struggle to afford food dem still dey talk about, what about many people who couldn't afford to pay rent. Homelessness is on the high. Imagine up to 10 people in a 2bdrm apartment.

Obama should go and sit down somewhere, 47 million Americans are not struggling for food because for less than $20 you can walk into a buffet and eat 10 plates of food and the food are wasted massively ending up in the trash bin, so stop with the crying wolf, there is a government shutdown and food stamps recipients are impacted but that will be sorted out soon


I think you know more than he does.

Taming the insurgency should be the priority of a sincere Nigerian now and not hunger in the US.

It is high time the FG take decisive action against the perpetual killings of the Christian in the north.

The insurrection of Jihadists in the form of Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandits and Kidnappers are out on one mission to destroy anyone who doesn't practice their faith and take their land.

Their targets are

The Christians

The indigene either Christians or Muslims who doesn't allow them perpetuate their evil agenda

The Muslim individual or community who is perceived to disagree with their doctrine and actions

Every other faith who doesn't agree with them.


Have you ever seen Sultan publicly condemn any attack?
Have you seen any Muslim political leader condemn their actions publicly?
How many BH, Bandit have the Sharia law caught and prosecuted?

It is high time the world intervene and expose al the people who directly and inderectly support these terrorist.

Killing must stop or outright dissolution of Nigeria through referendum should take place.

The blood of millions of innocent lives including Deborah is crying for justice.

There is no excuse from the government. Enough
If your interest is to protect the Christians from Jihadists, outright dissolution of Nigeria won't help you do that but will only leave the minority Christians in the north more vulnerable.

I agree with you that we need to rid Nigeria of Fulani herdmen, and jihadist bandits terrorism.

Their targets might be initially christians in the 2000s, but for the past 10 years, they have been targeting both Christians, Muslims, and traditionalists. They are fighting for territory and their intention is to get Nigeria territories for themselves to govern.

That’s what they’ve been trying to do across the Sahel.

If Trump support the government with ammunition, funding, and etc; na me go first happy because ridding Nigeria of these bandits and terrorists will solve 50% of our problem.
Trump is not interested in fighting anything.
He is not just happy that Tinubu is not his puppet

The guy that created this thread has been crying all over nairaland since Trump announced christian genocide in Nigeria. It is just a post to discredit America for trying to come to the aid of Nigeria Christians.

Tinubu supporters aka Christian genocide deniers, have been instructed to look for and publish every single thing they find on the US as a way of embarrassing the country and blackmailing them into keeping their hands off Nigeria, so that the genocide can continue. This is what the government is spending your oil money and taxes on.

Re: More Than 47M Americans Struggle To Afford Food — Obama Raise Alarm by Chucks13: 6:46am On Nov 02, 2025
And Trump and his gang are busy about fake genocide in Nigeria?

As at today same US have one of the highest homeless people in the world pls go to Florida, ho to New York, Texas etc and see how thousands of US citizen sleeping rough on the street everyday with no hope of shelter yet Trump and his gang not bothered but so bothers about Nigeria internal problems.

Go to US and see shocking things yourself than sitting here supporting already failed country glorifying herself as supremacist. Anything Trump na opposite to me, seriously I'm not interested in anything Trump.

I love the courage of Frm. Pre. Obama for speaking out. This is what some Nigerians don't understand. Nigerians in foreign countries knows what they are really facing there except the ones who feeds on crime vices over there to cover up that they are living fine over there.

Just like the foreigners here in Nation who are taking advantage of us directly and indirectly due to our greediness, dishonest, disunity, lack of understanding, and other immoral values, allowing them to use us in modernised slavery.

God have mercy on us.

Where will the $20 come from for a poor, maybe jobless, person? And $20 times three square meals equals $60 daily.
Re: More Than 47M Americans Struggle To Afford Food — Obama Raise Alarm by Honestey: 6:50am On Nov 02, 2025
So Nigeria is not the only country of particular concern after all. Nothing is more concerning than hunger isn't it?

It’s inflation. It keeps getting worse daily. What I spend on groceries don almost 30-45% more when you check On a 5month by 5month basis.

Trump no send anybody, he go just come online dey call statistics wey e want.

E don tariff anything tarrifable
Is it worse than the situation in Nigeria since 2015? Are less Nigerians doing japa to America because of this situation? Are Nigerians doing japada from America because of the situation?

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Re: More Than 47M Americans Struggle To Afford Food — Obama Raise Alarm by MadamExcellency: 6:54am On Nov 02, 2025
Abi no be free food they are talking about here for the majority of jobless, disabled and single mothers? How does that concern Nigerians that has no hope from the Nigerian Government?

Please the topic is about free food for the jobless, disabled and single mothers. We have no such provision in Nigeria and it's a total shame to our government. Even the people in IDPs are fed by international communities' donations from the US and Western countries.

The US government are busy financing wars why over 47 million Americans are going to bed with an empty stomach grin

Trump should leave Palestine, Iran, China and Venezuela and face his primary assignment.

Meanwhile, Obama is a devil, after putting millions of Syrians and Libyans in pains, agony, hunger he is walking free just like Bush who turned Iraq upside down.
Dont mind that St..id America jare, u dey finance Israel with weapons while ur people no c food chop. Dis life no balance o. Stupid set of prople.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children - don't have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Republicans need to act now to make sure those benefits are available to people who depend on them. If they don't, millions of children, seniors, and low-income Americans will go hungry ahead of the holidays.
according to Obama a man who opened American border to Islamic terrorists from all over the world.

Those millions started from mere 20 pounds after the war.
They're not asking for your help.
They will then use those 20 pounds again to start new businesses in Igboland and build it to millions. Let us see how easy it would be.

Kicking away sharia is equal to stopping smuggling of weapons to Nigeria which eventually stops terrorism. Read on.

Your narrative is wrong. Stop spreading lies. America has just hit the nail in the head. Sharia is their main tool. All the terrorism is tending towards Islamatize Nigeria and turn it to a Taliban state. But how can they when Christians are always praying. Now that the US has voiced it out what we have been saying, this is the end for them. And you better say the story as it is so the rod of the Lord doesn't break your jaw ad fingers. Sharia is forceful. You don't follow sharia, they kill you. That's sharia. The are still preventing cos they don't have the full power. That power, they will never get it in Jesus' name. Do you know how many Christians have been killed in the name of sharia in Nigeria?

Those sharia people are the one funding importation of arms and guns to Nigeria. As soon as they are removed, terrorism will stop in Nigeria. Some of the gun is they imported just found their ways into the hands of some kidnappers not affiliated with them. So, remove the source of weapons struggling to Nigeria, we have successfully removed terrorism. Removing sharia is equal to stopping weapons smuggling to Nigeria.
