Despite Three Years of Tinubu's Food Emergency, Nigeria hungriest ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.
In celebrating his supposed successful three years in office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu listed some achievements in the agricultural sector, firstly, his declaration of emergency on food security in July 2023, followed by the acquisition of 2,000 tractors and 9,000 farming implements, stated as Nigeria's largest agricultural mechanisation programme.
Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria's hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria's hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure had since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026. Consequently, Nigeria is now classified among the world's most hungry or food-insecure nations in the world, with the World Bank forecasting that 33 million Nigerians could experience severe hunger.
In fact, Nigeria has the highest number of hungry people in the world.
I have always maintained that Nigeria have no reason to be seen among the hungriest nations in the world when we have fast, uncultivated land in the north, which is our greatest asset today.
We must transparently invest in Agricultural production, which will guarantee food security, but create huge employment.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
“Under GEJ, there was only one kidnapping of school children by the terrorists, & the entire world was in protest against the govt. Under Buhari, in 8 yrs, there were 10 school abductions, & under 3 yrs of Tinubu govt, it has surpassed 10 & the world is keeping quiet”
—Peter Obi
We’ve been enduring and adjusting to this mess for over 11 years now. If we don’t stop the rot, the result of our collective cowardice will be a lost century.
Always these foolish diversions. Whilst the rest of the country is under the yoke of the Fulani Muslim Jihadist Terrorist brothers of @officialABAT and @NuhuRibadu, the east is under the yoke of their "repented" fellow terrorists in @HQNigerianArmy uniforms.
Tinubu removed the subsidy on petrol.
Tinubu removed the subsidy on electricity.
Tinubu removed the subsidy on education.
Just one question:
What exactly has he used the money saved from these subsidy removals for?
Tinubu might just be the first Nigerian ex-president to be sent to jail for embezzlement, corruption and crimes against humanity.
If Tinubu’s plan is to use the freeing of these captives for campaign, that agenda is dead on arrival. And I’m saying this because his delegates went to visit the victims with campaign buses saying “e f’okan bale”. Very evil souls! May they all feel God’s wrath! Jesus Christ!
no security, no infrastructure, the naira is basically useless, illegal mining, we still don’t have 24/7 light in 2026, bandits kidnapping people and doing TikToks w the ransom money, no healthcare, fuel is expensive & we have crude oil, no rest for a Nigerian bro.
Those children would have cried and cried and cried. Prayed, prayed and prayed! It’s haunting! This is about to be their 27th night as captives of terrorists. Rain is falling, the nights are cold. A child amongst them has died from the harsh conditions. They witnessed a beheading and a shooting. The trauma of it all! 😭😭
In continuation of my quest to deepen knowledge and impact positively on our society, yesterday June 10th, in London, I held a series of important engagements, including a fruitful meeting with Alex Vines, Director of the Africa Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
Our discussions focused on strengthening strategic relationships and fostering a deeper understanding of Africa’s evolving role in global affairs. It was emphasized that Africa must no longer be viewed merely through the prism of statistics or humanitarian concern, but as a serious and equal partner in shaping the future global order, much like India, Indonesia, and other emerging centres of influence.
During our engagement, it became increasingly clear that Africa, and Nigeria in particular, must be placed at the centre of international conversations on partnership, trade, governance, innovation, and sustainable development.
Constructive dialogue and mutual respect remain essential to building meaningful cooperation between Africa and the international community.
