BBNaija’s Phyna Speaks Out Against Hunger Crisis in Nigeria, Calls for Unity, Action
Reality TV star and Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has expressed her deep concern over the growing hunger crisis in Nigeria, emphasizing the need for collective action and unity among Nigerians.
In an emotional video posted on her Instagram on March 20, 2025, Phyna lamented the worsening state of food insecurity, highlighting that the current hunger crisis is not just about the absence of food, but also the erosion of hope for many Nigerians.
“The issue of hardship and hunger in our nation strikes the heart of all, young and old, rich and poor. The hunger we experience now is not just the absence of food on our plate, it is the absence of hope on our heart. There are so many children who should be at school that are instead searching for food and parents who would go to bed on an empty stomach not knowing where their next meal is coming from.”
Phyna criticized the lack of collective action, questioning why Nigerians have not united to demand change from their leaders.
“Yet despite the growing crises, what do we say? Where is the collective voice? Where is the unity that should bind us together as one nation? We are unable to find together for the greater good.”
She emphasized the need for Nigerians to come together and demand accountability from their leaders.
“The truth is that hunger is not a distant problem, it’s in every home and community. We need to come together as one nation, put our differences aside and focus on our wellbeing. We must demand accountability from our leaders in words and actions.
“We need assurance that every Nigerian in the rural and urban areas have access to food security and a dignified life. It is time to ask why we are allowing hunger to persist in our country that has so many resources.”
