Reality TV star and actress, Phyna has decried the rate of inflation in Nigeria, raising concern over the rising cost of living.
Phyna lamented that beyond the lack of food on the table of Nigerians, they also lack hope for a better nation.
Shocked by the silence of Nigerians despite the hardship, Phyna urged them to demand positive change from public officers.
Speaking in a video message shared via her social media page, Phyna said, “The hunger, the hardship ravaging our beloved nation is an issue that strikes deep into 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 the absence of food on our plates. It’s the absence of hope in our hearts.
“For many of us, the story of hunger is not just about a meal that is missed but about a life that’s interrupted, about children who should be in school but are instead searching for food. It’s about parents who go to bed with empty stomachs unsure of where their next meal will come from.
“The lines of inequality grow longer and divide between the rich and the poor as never seen wider. For so many of us, hunger is not only just an issue of scarcity. But one of dignity, survival and humanity itself.
“Despite this growing crisis, what do we see? Where is the collective voice that should speak for the voiceless? The silent majority who are battling not only to survive but to live with dignity, where is the unity that should bind us together as one nation?
“It seems far too often where we are caught in our individual struggles divided by borders, ideologies and selfish pursuits unable to come together for the greater good just for once.
“The truth is, hunger is not a distant problem. It’s right here with us. It’s in every home, community and every heartbeat of a Nigerian citizen. But we cannot fight this battle individually. We need to come together as one nation.
“We need to put aside our differences and focus on what truly matters; the wellbeing of every Nigerian. We must demand accountability from our leaders. Not just in words but in action. We need a commitment to ensure that every Nigerian from the rural areas to the urban areas have access to food security and a dignified life.”
