Concerns about a potential famine in Nigeria have been raised by prominent Nigerian media figure Ifedayo Olarinde, also known as Daddy Freeze. He emphasized the need for the country to boost its export of commodities to bolster its currency and avert a crisis.
In a recent social media video message, Daddy Freeze highlighted the link between the country’s depreciating currency and its insufficient export activity, stressing that both the government and citizens must collaborate to address this issue.
He urged Nigerians earning minimal wages in urban areas to consider returning to their villages and engaging in farming to counteract the looming threat of famine. Additionally, he called for a shift in focus from constructing lavish residences in villages to establishing more factories with a focus on manufacturing for export.
Daddy Freeze’s message underscored the necessity for the government to provide robust support for local manufacturers, enabling their businesses to thrive and contribute to the country’s export industry. He further emphasized the imperative nature of diversifying Nigeria’s economy beyond its heavy reliance on oil.
The celebrity’s stark warning and call to action serve as a wake-up call for both the Nigerian government and its citizens to collaborate in preventing a potential famine and bolstering the country’s economic stability.
