A recent Cadre Harmonisé report, supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), has projected a looming hunger crisis in Nigeria, estimating that 133.1 million people could face severe food insecurity by the 2025 lean season.
The report, prepared with the federal government and partners like the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, highlights an alarming increase of seven million people at risk compared to last year.
The surge in food insecurity is attributed to economic hardships, record-high inflation, climate change, and ongoing violence, particularly in northeastern and northwestern states.
The number of people at emergency food insecurity levels (Phase 4) is expected to nearly double from one million in 2024 to 1.8 million in 2025.
Additionally, about 5.4 million children and 800,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women are at risk of acute malnutrition, with 1.8 million children possibly facing severe acute malnutrition and needing urgent care.
The report underscores Nigeria’s struggle with high inflation, especially in food prices, as a critical driver of this crisis.

The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has uncovered $4.7 trillion in untraceable payments within the U.S. Treasury Department.
In a statement released on Monday via its official X account, DOGE explained that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) field was previously optional for these payments, which made tracking nearly impossible.
The TAS field is a crucial identification code that links Treasury payments to specific budget line items.
DOGE mentioned that following its intervention over the weekend, the TAS field is now a mandatory requirement for Treasury payments.

The White House clarified on Monday that Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration is as a senior adviser to the president, not as an official employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
A filing from Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House’s Office of Administration, confirmed that Musk does not have decision-making power and can only offer advice or relay the president’s directives.
Fisher’s filing, part of a case against Musk filed by the State of New Mexico, emphasized that Musk is not employed by the US DOGE Service, nor does he hold the title of DOGE Service Administrator.
The filing also stressed that, like other senior White House advisors, Musk lacks the formal authority to make government decisions on his own.

A bold moment unfolded at the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach Ministry (ZPMO) when a female member publicly proposed to evangelist Ebuka Obi during the church’s Singles Conference on Sunday.
The unexpected proposal was captured in a viral video shared by the ZPMO founder on his Instagram page. In the clip, the woman revealed that she had received a prophecy years ago about marrying a prophet and later had a dream confirming the person’s identity.
“In 2022, someone prophesied that I would marry a prophet. I believed the message, and God confirmed it in my dream. I also received the person’s name, but he wasn’t someone I could just approach. So, as a Christian sister, I kept praying that God would reveal it to him,” she explained.
Curious, the Imo State-based cleric asked her to describe the person, hinting at whether she had met him before. Without hesitation, she responded, “Not just somewhere. I’m seeing the person right now. Daddy, the person is from Imo State.”
Shocked by the unexpected revelation, Ebuka Obi responded with laughter, captioning the post with laughing emojis and writing, “She proposed marriage to EVANG EBUKA OBI during the Singles Conference.”
