A Bishop of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Sunday Ndukwo
Onuoha has warned the government at levels and political class that the growing
hunger in the land is capable of causing major crises across the country.
The Bishop who said this in a message he titled “Listen to
the cries of the poor now to avert anarchy”, said many Nigerians are starving
without the hope of having anything to eat.
He advised the federal and state governments to go beyond
rhetorics by introducing good economic policies to save the dying masses.
He decried that most families in Nigeria battle to feed once
a day while some who manage to eat are not sure of where the next meal will
come from, stating that it has become a matter of urgency that government at
all levels hasten up, come up with policies to check rising prices in food
commodities and other essentials.
According to the Bishop, the faces of hungry Nigerians now
look scary and unfriendly because of sustained hunger in them.
“The look on people’s faces daily, portrays anger, vexation,
hunger among others. Nigerians are passing through a whole lot in meeting up
with daily demands of their families. Interactions I have had with people over
the last couple of months have further prompted me to believe that Nigerians
need a lifeline, quickly too”.
He further told the political class in the country that
hungry Nigerians are unhappy with them.
