It's a national disgrace, Peter Obi says after Ukraine donated grains to Nigeria
After Ukraine reportedly donated 25,000 tons of wheat to the Northeastern part of Nigeria, Peter Obi took to X, to appreciate the Ukrainian government, while at the same time, calling it a shame on Nigeria. He believes it is a disgrace for a country like Nigeria to be in such a state of need, despite all the human and national resources we've got.
Ukraine being a war-torn nation was able to put humanity first by donating such an amount of food to Nigeria. "It is disheartening that our once economically confident nation, blessed with vast arable land and abundant natural resources, now relies on a war-torn Ukraine for food assistance. This national disgrace stems from years of leadership failure, necessitating urgent reflection and a reordering of our national priorities and resource management and allocation. Instructively, Ukraine, with a population of 43 million on 603,728 km2, outshines Northern Nigeria, covering 744,249 km2 with a young, energetic population exceeding 100 million."
