Make poor people breathe.
About 35 million Nigerians face food crisis for the 2026 lean season (Cadre Harmonisé), one of the biggest hunger crisis for the whole world.
Dem promise ₦5,000 every month to the 25 million poorest Nigerians. For 2018, e no reach 300,000 households wey dey collect am. For 2023 dem promise ₦25,000 to 15 million households. By April 2025, na only 37% don collect even one payment.
Dem talk say “make poor people breathe.” Today 35 million Nigerians no know where their next food go come from.
Eight out of ten Nigerians sleep with hunger at least one time last year. This one no be bad luck. Na bad government.
Before, na garri we dey drink when money short. Now even garri don cost.
