At least 31.8 million Nigerians, or 16 percent of the population analyzed, are expected to face crisis acute food insecurity between June and August 2024.

This projection comes from the World Food Programme, an international award recognizing significant contributions to improving food quality, quantity, or availability globally.

The information was sourced from the organization’s latest June to October 2024 outlook posted on its X account.
The WFP also stated that nearly 1 million people in Nigeria are projected to be in a state of emergency-level acute food insecurity.

They described the five phases of food insecurity on a scale of 1 to 5, where phase 1 represents minimal food insecurity, phase 2 indicates stressed food insecurity, phase 3 is crisis food insecurity, phase 4 is emergency food insecurity, and phase 5 is catastrophic food insecurity.
The statement revealed, “Between June and August 2024, 31.8 million people (16 percent of the population analyzed) are projected to face crisis or worse (Phase 3 or above) levels of acute food insecurity, with nearly 1 million people projected to be in Emergency (Phase 4).
This represents a 3 percentage point increase in the number of acutely food insecure people compared to the same time in the previous year.
Acute malnutrition levels remain high, above 10 percent, in the northern states (Borno, Yobe, Sokoto, Katsina, and Zamfara), with 4.4 million children and 585,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women projected to be acutely malnourished in 2024.”

The WFP predicted that food insecurity would likely remain a significant concern due to a multidimensional crisis driven by weakening macroeconomic conditions, heightened insecurity, and subdued agricultural production in the northern part of the country.

God will always provide for his own. Famine or not

Oh lord where art thou?

COMRADES, we don't need anyone to tell us this, as long as apc headed by tinubu is hell bend on killing us unjustly, but we'll prove to tinubu and his cohorts that you're too small to annihilate us in Nigeria

The hunger has already started. If not how do you explain why a paint container of garri goes for 4k? Rice and beans are already going beyond the reach of many households. It hasn't been this bad in Nigeria. In fact I pity our little ones. Nigeria has failed them. No eggs, milk, fish, and other nutritious foods in their diets. How would they develop both physically and mentally?

The great Tinubulation is upon us
