Across Nigeria, soaring food prices and devastating insecurity have ignited a hunger crisis forcing many into extreme measures for survival. Videos circulating online show people lining up for bread handouts from foreign volunteers in Lagos, reflecting the desperation gripping parts of the country. Agricultural disruptions, caused by both severe flooding and violent attacks on farmers, have left food supplies scarce, raising prices and pushing families to the edge.
A recent report from Save the Children highlights how relentless farmer-targeted violence is deepening this crisis, with kidnappings and killings disrupting rural communities and stalling agricultural output. The result is a bleak situation where millions struggle to access even the basics, marking one of the country’s most pressing humanitarian crises in recent years.
Experts warn that without swift government action to restore security and support for agriculture, Nigeria risks further humanitarian fallout, as economic pressures worsen across the nation
