Nigeria hit severe hunger levels that have experts freaking out about the country needing major system overhauls to fix food production. About 50 million people are starving while the global average sits way lower, and the north is getting destroyed with rates pushing 50 percent. Some foundation called IRF ran an event at the University of Lagos, where speakers blamed broken government policies instead of parents for the crisis, and they want food to be treated as a basic right rather than something you buy.
Professors pointed out that Nigeria wastes half its food every year, even though millions can't eat, and climate damage, plus outdated farming methods, keep making things worse. Security problems have farmers too scared to work their land because kidnappings have become so common that entire villages live in fear. Schools stopped teaching practical agriculture, which one panelist said needs to come back because kids should learn survival skills instead of just planting decorative plants that nobody can eat.
