Attacks by armed groups, high food prices and natural disasters are pushing Nigeria’s most vulnerable to the brink of starvation.
The World Food Programme says cases of severe acute malnutrition in children have quadrupled in less than a year.
Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria.

So what?
Abuja
Nothing to do with food prices or natural disasters. The problem is the explosive population growth, fuelled by the Islamic fertility rate of 8(!). The population of Nigeria is set to increase to 263 million in 2030, 400 million in 2050, and 732 million in 2100. Today it stands at 210. It will quadruple within a century.
Exactly. A half century ago, their population stood at about 50M. This is a manmade problem.
@krnpowr your right hunger and poverty are man made.. The cost of living is too high people can’t afford they used to grow their own crops.. But some came with money and greed and made restrictions on people to sustain themselves but to depend on the system
They believe allah will provide for them
@Stacha Stochmol Funny how it’s non-muslim countries that are providing most of the aid to keep them alive.
Malnutrition in northern Nigeria
Even in developed countries people who have 5 children would have a hard time getting by
They only think oww..thats ok..other country can donate their money to support them !! Those rats not wrong…country who donate those rats who most we blame !!
Sorry the donation only for palestine !! African muslim not worthed then arab muslim !!
Too much breeding. Wayyyy too many children that they can’t afford to feed.
Please stop the propaganda. Nigeria does not have a population problem, nor do they have a hunger proplem. Instead of reporting about Nigeria booming tech sector, Nigerian made vehicles including electric and self driving cars, you report this BS. People need to read the Henry Kissinger report and the west desire to depopulate the continent. The news make you think Africa is poor, when they are not. I have seen more poverty in American, than I have seen in Africa 🤦🤦🤦
