Reality TV star and actress Phyna has sounded the alarm over the worsening economic hardship in Nigeria, declaring that hunger is no longer just the absence of food but the absence of hope.
Expressing frustration in a heartfelt video on her social media page, the Big Brother Naija winner lamented the growing inequality and the silence of Nigerians in the face of escalating poverty. She criticized the lack of collective action, emphasizing that millions are battling not just for survival but for dignity.
“The hunger and hardship ravaging our beloved nation is an issue that strikes deep into the core of every Nigerian—young and old, rich and poor,” Phyna stated. “It’s not just about missing a meal; it’s about children dropping out of school to search for food, about parents going to bed uncertain of their next meal.”
She challenged Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable beyond mere rhetoric, insisting that food security should be a national priority. According to her, while the government must take responsibility, citizens must also play their part in demanding change.
Phyna’s message resonated with thousands online, sparking debates on the rising cost of living and the failure of leadership to address economic woes. As inflation continues to push basic necessities out of reach, voices like hers amplify the urgency of action before the crisis deepens further.
