By Levinus Nwabughiogu ABUJA-Nigerian youths Tuesday told President Muhammadu Buhari that they were dying of hunger and starvation. The youths also vowed to vote the president out of office if nothing was done to alleviate their plight.

This was the fallout of a town hall meeting organized by the Ministry of Information and Culture and held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday to appraise several contemporary issues in the polity.

The meeting saw the Ministers of Power, Housing and Works, Babatunde Fashola; Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun; Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbe; Labour and Productivity, Senator Chris Ngige; Budget and National Planning (State), Mrs. Zainab Ahmed; Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalong addressing the youths on the issues.

The issues ranges from the economy, power, labour, security, housing, finance, agriculture, sports and youth development amongst others. When it was time for questions and answers, a youth who gave his name as Abubakar from Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Abuja asked the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed who moderated the session to convey their thoughts to the president.

He said: “Nigerians are hungry. Minister of Information, Please, help me pass this message to him: I believe he had the youth in mind before coming to power. But it is as he got to power and changed.

If he has changed, well, we are waiting for him in 2019.” Abubakar also pleaded with the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Dalong to stop embarrassing Nigeria. He spoke on the heels of the delayed payment of the Super Falcons who recent won the African Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

“The national embarrassment is getting too much. We cannot continue to have our heroes being treated in a manner that’s not proper”, he said.

Responding, the Agric Minister who also took questions from the crowd on the delayed distribution of fertilizers during the farming season admitted that indeed, Nigerians were hungry.

“Fertilizer came late because Boko Haram was using urea to make bombs. It took over two and half month. We were caught in between two security issues: food insecurity and social insecurity. “A young man said Nigerians are hungry.

Yes, it is true. We know it. Sometimes when you see the face of our president at meetings. He’s in pain. We are all in pains. But we are driving hard to solve these problems”, Ogbeh said.

His counter-part in Ministry of Sports also corroborated Ogbeh’s position while fielding questions on the Super Falcons allowances and the shame the development brought to Nigeria.

“It’s true, Nigerians are hungry. It is unfortunate that we have to go through that situation. We will definitely have to take steps to ensure that situations that subjecting our country to national embarrassments will be resolved”, he said.

On the issue of having a controlled price of commodities, the Minister of Finance, Adeosun said it situation was majorly determined by the law of demand and supply. “When there is no enough supply, prices increase. But we don’t want prices to crash”, She said.

Buhari will give them food in 2018 and they will forget the hunger of the previous years and vote for him. If you are serious, you SHOULD have showed it in Edo and Ondo states.

Surely in 2019 Buhari will be humiliated at the Presidential Polls

I'll rather vote Mr IBU if he will contest than vote Atiku in 2019.

Those people talking abt 2019 where will the election hold? Or ar u nt aware what happend in rivers, ondo and edo while ekiti and anambra is loading? 4get it, no election come 2019

If buhari contest in 2019 he will win. U re already helping him put his men in strategic positions that will return him as president in 2019. Beside Ameachi has shown us through Rivers election how APC intent to organise future election in Nigeria

'Hungry' is an understatement... 'depressed and hopeless' is a better representation of the plights of Nigerian youths. Incompetencies and deceits are trademarks of this administration.

Then Atiku will print enough dollar to feed you people. If you know the scarifice PMB has taken to stabilize this country. You should apply for N power jobs instead of wailing

I don't believe in Nigeria again, even the greed of we the youths is even more than the so called politicians. Some have sold their souls and destinies to the devil. How do we think the country will become better. Our leaders are not the problem but we the masses.

I tell my people the issue of HUNGER IS MORE THAN REAL,EVEN WITCHS AND WIZARDS WHICH USED TO COME TO OUR DREAMS WHEN SLEEPING TO COME AND FEED US WITH FREE MEALS HAVE STOP COMING TILL FURTHER NOTICE COS THE HUNGER IS ALSO BITTING THEM HARD.
WE RE FINISHED.

Don't worry guys, Bubu is saving your 5k/month for you to collect in arrears in 2019 on the condition that YOU are going to vote for APC.

Una go wait tire.....

How long are we going to wait for Bubu and his Babu? Can any good things come from this government? I doubt it.

Crap... is it not d same youth that is campaigning for atiku, who used our common wealth to build a university up north.

Come to think of Book Haram never got close to the school & they still proclaim "No to western education"

Atiku42019 youths ll bash me soon..awon weyre.

Atiku2019:
Surely in 2019 Buhari will be humiliated at the Presidential Polls

another youth!

Buhari is mad old lazy cow TUFIAKWA

Buhaaaaaaaariii

Let's wait and see how it will unfold.

All this youth shouting Atiku. I think they need a brain check up cos if he has a better plan for this country as a vice president he would have done something meaningful then.

Is it when you get to 90 that your dream of leading this country come true Instead of us to sit ourselves down and discuss on how we move this nation forward, Some of us are busy shouting our ANCESTORS name.

When you read some comment here on Nairaland and some other social network, you will see it on HD that most of the youth of this country are confused.

Show me the heroes that the youth of your country look up to, and I will tell you the future of your country...

Those are your heroes abi? I can see where we are heading to if the youth of this country continue this way.

Awon elebi Dede.

He will win. If he doesn't,we will rig it.




He must have his second tenure.


Buhari for 2019
