Hunger, hardship ravaging our beloved nation – Phyna

Reality TV star and actress Phyna has voiced her concerns about the hunger prevalent in the country, which is exacerbated by the rising cost of living.

She emphasized that the hunger Nigerians face is not merely the absence of food on their plates but also a profound lack of hope in their hearts.

In a video message shared on her social media page, Phyna stated, “The hunger and hardship affecting our beloved nation strikes deeply at the core of every Nigerian—young and old, rich and poor.

“In every corner of this great country, the hunger we are experiencing today is not just about missing a meal; it’s about interrupted lives and children who should be in school but are instead searching for food. It’s about parents going to bed with empty stomachs, unsure of where their next meal will come from.

“The lines of inequality are growing longer, and the divide between the rich and the poor has never been wider. For many of us, hunger is not just a matter of scarcity; it is an issue of dignity, survival, and our shared humanity.

“Despite this growing crisis, what do we see? Where is the collective voice that should speak for the voiceless? The silent majority struggle not only to survive but also to live with dignity. Where is the unity that should bind us together as one nation?

“Far too often, we are caught up in our individual struggles, divided by borders, ideologies, and selfish pursuits, unable to unite for the greater good.

“The truth is, hunger is not a distant problem; it is here with us. It resides in every home, every community, and within the heartbeat of every Nigerian citizen. However, we cannot fight this battle alone; we need to come together as one nation.

“We must set aside our differences and focus on what truly matters: the well-being of every Nigerian. We must demand accountability from our leaders—not just in words but in actions. We need a commitment to ensure that every Nigerian, from rural to urban areas, has access to food security and a dignified life.”

Phyna concluded that moving the country towards food security is not solely the responsibility of the government; it is a shared duty of every citizen.
