Woah Vicky’s Visit to Nigeria: Shedding Light on Hunger and Poverty Issues
American social media influencer Woah Vicky recently visited Lagos, Nigeria, and shared her observations on the prevalent hunger and poverty in the country.
She expressed heartbreak over the struggles faced by many Nigerians, emphasizing the need for more than just tourism focused on entertainment. Vicky stated that Nigeria requires prayers and tangible support to address these pressing issues.
Her sentiments align with recent reports highlighting Nigeria’s deepening hunger crisis. Projections indicate that over 33 million people will face food insecurity by next year, a significant increase from the 24.8 million expected by the end of this year.
This situation has been exacerbated by economic hardships following austerity reforms, including the devaluation of the naira and the removal of a long-standing petrol subsidy, leading to high inflation and soaring food prices.
Additionally, flooding and insecurity in northern regions have disrupted agriculture, further elevating food prices beyond the reach of many.
