You can choose to fear what’s coming or prepare to capitalize on it. Either way, nothing changes the fact that Super El Niño could bring a world changing crisis.
Just In: El Niño to cause 31,400 additional de@ths in Nigeria within the next 6 months
Nigeria could record 31,400 additional heat-related deaths over the next six months as El Niño intensifies, according to a report by the Climate Impact Lab.
The report projects 66,800 additional de@ths across Africa’s Sahel region, with nearly half expected in Nigeria.
The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) have warned that an unusually powerful El Niño could worsen extreme heat, droughts and flooding.
WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo said the phenomenon could peak towards the end of 2026, disrupting temperatures and rainfall patterns worldwide.
She urged governments and humanitarian organisations to use forecasts and early-warning systems to protect vulnerable communities.
UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher warned that about 50 million people could face increased hunger as the crisis worsens food insecurity.
He said the African Development Bank estimates that the crisis could cost African countries between $10 billion and $20 billion and reduce their GDP by one to two per cent.
The Climate Impact Lab projects that El Niño could cause 451,000 additional heat-related de@ths globally during its first nine months, from June to February, with countries in the Global South expected to bear a disproportionate burden.
In Nigeria, temperatures have recently reached 41°C in Nguru, Yobe State, and 34°C in Lagos, according to the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet).
Prolonged extreme heat could increase heat-related illnesses, strain water and electricity supplies, and threaten farming and outdoor livelihoods.
The report recommends early-warning systems, cooling centres and protection for outdoor workers to reduce de@ths.
Although El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon, human-induced climate change is worsening the risks associated with rising temperatures.
Saulo said its effects could not be prevented entirely, but the worst consequences could be reduced through timely action and coordinated preparedness.
The problem with Pumpfun will always be KOLs abandoning the obvious winner out of greed, choosing to keep shilling the coin they got into early even when they know it shouldn’t be the main runner.
In a decentralized system, coins should run because they’re good, not because your favorite clueless KOL bought early and keeps shilling them.
That said, $Pill is the better coin with a stronger narrative than $Baton. It should be the main runner, with $Pumpcat following closely behind.
