Sadly, according to the United Nations, approximately 25,000 individuals succumb to food starvation worldwide daily. Shockingly, within this figure, when considering groups of 10 people, three are Nigerians who perish due to starvation. An intriguing aspect emerges when scientific studies reveal that starvation, in fact, claims fewer lives than dehydration. The absence of water can lead to a faster demise, possibly within 72 hours, compared to the up to seven days one may survive without food.
It is disheartening to note that the 25,000 daily deaths from food scarcity constitute a cumulative tragedy. Those perishing today would have initiated their tragic journey towards death about seven days prior. This alarming reality prompts a call to action. We cannot allow this to become the norm, especially in Nigeria. We must recognize our responsibility and collectively ensure that no one succumbs to hunger again.
Addressing this issue necessitates concerted efforts. One avenue could be challenging and removing ineffective leaders from office. Our plea for attention and action must not be taken lightly. Perhaps it is time for a revolution.
