A 2018 Global Report On Food Crises by the United Nations has listed Nigeria as one of the four countries that experienced the worst food crises.

Together with Nigeria in the list are Somalia, Yemen, and South Sudan.

According to the report, around 124 million people in 51 countries face food insecurity.

These countries require urgent humanitarian action to save lives, protect livelihoods, and reduce hunger and malnutrition.

“Around 124 million people in 51 countries face food insecurity. They require urgent humanitarian action to save lives, protect livelihoods, and reduce hunger and malnutrition.

“The worst food crises in 2017 were in north-eastern Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, and South Sudan, where nearly 32 million people were food-insecure and in need of urgent assistance. Famine was declared in two counties of South Sudan in February 2017.

"Although humanitarian assistance has thus far contributed towards preventing large-scale famines, humanitarian needs remain exceptionally high across the four countries,” the report reads partly.

The report recorded an increase in the figure from the 2017 report with an additional 16 million people in the crises food security zone.

The rise was linked to ‘intensified and protracted conflict or insecurity’.

“Last year’s Global Report on Food Crises identified 108 million people in crisis food security or worse across 48 countries.

“A comparison of the 45 countries included in both editions of the Global Report on Food Crises reveals an increase of 11 million people – an 11 percent rise – in the number of food-insecure people needing urgent humanitarian action across the world.

“This rise can largely be attributed to new or intensified and protracted conflict or insecurity in countries such as Yemen, northern Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, and Myanmar. Persistent drought has also played a major role, causing consecutive poor harvests in countries already facing high levels of food insecurity in eastern and southern Africa,” the report added.

It was predicted that the situation could further deepen if conflict and a high level of insecurity continue in the affected countries.

It stated, “Conflict and insecurity will likely remain major drivers of food security crises in 2018, affecting Afghanistan, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, north-east Nigeria, and the Lake Chad region, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen as well as Libya and the central Sahel (Mali and Niger).

“The impact of severe dry weather on crop and livestock production is likely to heighten food insecurity in pastoral areas of Somalia, south-eastern Ethiopia and eastern Kenya, and in West Africa and the Sahel in Senegal, Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, and Burkina Faso.”

The UN noted that no significant improvement in food security would be expected globally until peace is achieved and livelihoods restored while mentioning that “food security, nutrition, and livelihoods-based interventions will be vital to save lives, build resilience and contribute to sustaining peace".

The countries listed as worst-hit are Yemen, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Syria, North Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Madagascar, Haiti, Central African Republic, Malawi, Iraq, Palestine, Cameroon, Ukraine (Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts), Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Chad, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Senegal, Libya, Lesotho, Swaziland, Guatemala, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Gambia,Guinea-Bissau, Djibouti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Zambia, El Salvador, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan, Eritrea and Venezuela.

Are you afraid to mention BUHARI?

Just look at the countries that were tagged together with Nigeria...


Very useless President only cares about cows

Nnamdi kanu-the greatest prophet

God why am I a Nigerian, imagine Somali and Sudan.
We are the world poverty capital, all happened under Buhari's watch

Rampaging Fulani Herdsmen will ot allow farmers in the Middle-belt and Southern region farm in peace.

It shall never be well with those who have a hand in buhari/APC being President till their 100th generation!

By 2040 Nigeria would be worse than Somalia
The Northern Elites are not helping matters
the high Birth rate in the North is Alarming..
They Believe they have the numbers so they determing what happens in the Country and they would never allow restructing
Igbos in the North should be very careful a time would come when looting would be high
and religious crises

Of course, there would be food crisis.
When you have Fulani herdsmen rampaging without control.

We have gone from the akinwunmi adeshina days where we discuss agricultural value chain, planting seasons, and fertilizer e-wallet, to now praying that Fulani herdsmen does not destroy your small farm.

Nigeria has seriously downgraded.

Are you afraid to mention BUHARI?

I don't need to mention names. Wickedness is synonimous with Buhari's illegitimate regime.

Do you recollect those cold chills you get when BBC shows African war torn countries and children with kwashiokor?...

That is exactly what is currently happening in your country Nigeria.

BUHARI



BUHARI



NA GOD GO PUNISH U.

Sai Buhari

Na famine dey come, make una no worry

Buhari go finish us oo

They claim insecurity was worse when GEJ was president. That there is much more improvement in security now yet we did not record food scarcity in those areas unlike now. No matter the lies they formulate, the truth will always prevail.

The hunger that stretched Buhari neck before he win president, he is trying hard to make everyone get their share.
