Nigerian Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (from Bornu South) has lamented the widespread corruption, hunger and hypocrisy in Nigeria. He expressed his disappointment that several politicians engage in corrupt practices without facing consequences.
Ndume said: “In Nigeria, it seems one can steal money, walk free, and be hailed.” He cited those who previously seemed financially unstable but suddenly acquired wealth and made lavish purchases, like luxury cars and jets.
Senator Ndume also raised concern regarding the issue of food insecurity in Nigeria. He warned that less than five percent of the country’s arable land is currently cultivated, despite Nigeria’s significant agricultural potential. “There is hunger in the land,” he reminded the leaders of the country.
