Read some of the comments from concerned Nigerians:
"This goes to show how hunger has ravaged our country while a few politicians are busy stealing from the commonwealth of the nation.
With the billions looted by them put into the economy, Nigeria has no reason to be experiencing this kind of hardship."
"This is a big shame and a disgrace to Nigeria and its leaders who have over the years wrecked havoc on the country by stealing the money meant for the masses. This is so disappointing."
