I met a schoolmate this week who is now a relief worker in northern Kenya. He told me something fascinating; something that haunts me since then. "Do you know how we measure severity of hunger in pastoral nomadic communities? We count number of mothers who have died. The more mothers dying of hunger the greater the famine. Among the pastoralists, the womenfolk are trained from infancy to repress hunger; while men are allowed to 'act on their hunger' by raiding a neighbours' cattle. There is a piece of cloth women are given before marriage for tying their stomachs to gird themselves against hunger. Girls and women are the last ones to eat - they only eat after the menfolk have finished eating. Paradoxically, it is women who are least vulnerable to hunger by death. They are accustomed to extreme hunger and have devised various mechanisms for coping." Wow !

I fear it might be too late for Nigeria. We allowed bad people to keep winning for far too long.

Nigerians have moved on We have turned bandit and insecurity to jokes and cruise ( I'm also guilty)😢 Government too no care 💔 May Nigeria never happen to you 🙏
