    The World Bank and IMF advised that removing petrol subsidies and devaluing the naira would solve Nigeria's economic problems. Nigerians are enjoying the benefits of the advice in hyperinflation and the cost of food crisis. The deaths of citizens in stampedes are but a few examples of how ordinary Nigerians are paying a heavy price for the deceitful advice of predatory organisations using compromised politicians.

    It’s a failure of logistics (likely rooted in lack of empathy). With decades of experience of distributing charity, surely those people responsible for logistics should know better. It would be easy to judge the desperation of others while sitting in a place of comfort; I don’t blame the horde of the hungry poor.

      Plenty of people survive through donations from food banks in the UK. Plenty of people in the USA getting food stamps. Plenty of tent cities in the USA because people cannot afford rent.. Things are getting hard everywhere because we have allowed as the world for a few ultra rich businesses to put up prices of food, oil, gas & electricity as they please. Governments do nothing because these rich businesses fund their political parties and therefore call the shots.
