“There is no reason why food should be scarce” – Seun Jimoh writes Nigerian government
Nollywood actor, Seun Jimoh calls for state of emergency as he queries the government over the scarcity of food in Nigeria.
The actor said on his Instagram story that, in light of the current food crisis, it is appropriate to declare a state of emergency over food production.
Seun believes that lack of arable land or war should be the only justifiable causes of famine.
He asked the government to investigate food scarcity since Nigeria is not experiencing any of these issues.
He wrote: “DEAR NIGERIAN
GOVERNMENT, IT’S TIME TO DELARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY ON FOOD PRODUCTION! THE ONLY TIME THERE SHOULD BE FAMINE IN THE LAND IS IF THERE IS WAR OR IF THERE IS NO ARABLE LAND !! THERE IS NO REASON WHY FOOD SHOULD BE SCARCE IN NIGERIA !”
