Only a very minimal percentage people in your country food secured, however it's still good having 50 per cent in moderate state. Those in severe needs help to survive.

I think that the survey is wrong and did not get it right. The percentage of Nigerian households that are food secured is not up to 15%. The only group of people that are financially secured are politicians.

The prices of all sorts here are above the neck. I can't almost believe that it's happening. The fruits I like to eat like apples, grapes, mangoes and melon are extremely expensive . I also pity the sellers they're capitalising their business, they suffer too. I bought 1 half a kilo of ginger I was shocked of the price that I got back my money . The price a kilo is horrible at $ 10 . I moved to the next seller the price is much lower at $5 a kilo. I was mad at the first seller and told them I'll report their scamming to the price council. She asked for forgiveness which I denied. I concluded that the sellers are abusing the customers.

LoL you are even helping them to reduce the surviving percentage you might be right. People are really suffering

It is the fault of your government for not giving action to people's woes and needs ,many years already.

There are a lot of people starving today. We have so many homes who have to beg others first before they can get their daily food.

This is a really sad reality I can't believe we were looking out for a better Nigeria now this?

The condition is somewhat alarming, but here in my country the food secured percentage is also moving towards downward. We are about to hit default but saved at border line.

Survey reports are at times misleading. But looking at the comments above, this one seems to indicate the sad reality of the country. We hear in Global news thsr people in Nigeria are suffering a lot because of corruption and bad politicians. It's a sad picture if so many people don't get the basic needs of food not met. Everything else needed for survival comes after your need for food is met. It's unfortunate.

Yeah this is the true picture for now. A lot of people are just going hungry as prices of things have sky rocketed

That's a very unfortunate and sad state. My heart goes out for those people who have to go empty stomach or half filled stomach. Food is the basic right and need. Some welfare steps have to be taken by Government to help these people. In our country too, malnutrition has been an issue. And it has improved a lot with some schemes like free mid day meals for children in school. But then at times, corrupt politicians and people in power don't let these welfare schemes reach to people in need. That's pathetic.

Yeah right, corrupt politicians are just our problems here. They embezzle funds that are meant for the masses
