Reality TV star and actress Phyna has sounded the alarm on Nigeria’s growing hunger crisis, blaming rising living costs for pushing many into extreme hardship.
She blames rising living costs for pushing many citizens into extreme hardship.
In a passionate video message shared on social media, Phyna described hunger as more than just empty plates. She said it is also about lost hope and broken dreams. Many Nigerians, she noted, struggle daily to survive but remain silent instead of demanding change.
Hunger beyond empty plates
Phyna stressed that hunger is not just about missing meals. It is about children dropping out of school to search for food. It is about parents going to bed hungry, unsure of where the next meal will come from. She painted a grim picture of inequality, stating that the gap between the rich and the poor has never been wider.
“For many, hunger is not just about food scarcity,” she said. “It is about dignity, survival, and humanity itself.”
She questioned why, despite the worsening crisis, many Nigerians choose to suffer in silence. She called for a unified voice to demand change and ensure no one is left behind.
A nation divided
Phyna lamented that Nigerians remain divided by personal struggles, ideologies, and self-interest. She urged citizens to set aside their differences and work toward a common goal—ensuring the well-being of all.

“We must unite as one nation,” she said. “Hunger is not a distant problem. It is here, in our homes, our communities, and in the heartbeat of every Nigerian.”
She emphasized that the fight against hunger cannot be an individual effort. Instead, it requires collective action and accountability from leaders. She urged Nigerians to demand real solutions, not just empty promises.
A shared responsibility
Phyna also made it clear that solving the hunger crisis is not solely the government’s responsibility. Citizens, she said, must also play a role. She encouraged community-driven solutions and stronger support networks to help those in need.
Ensuring food security, she noted, requires long-term commitment from both the government and the people. By working together, she believes Nigeria can overcome this crisis and build a future where no one goes hungry.
Phyna’s message is a call to action. As the cost of living continues to rise, Nigerians must speak out, demand change, and support one another in the fight against hunger.
