HOW HUNGER CAN BE FOUGHT AND DEFEATED IN NIGERIA

The word, ‘hunger’ is simply defined as
strong need or desire for food. The context
of this article however, is not actually
talking about how to eat when you’re
hungry or what to eat if hungry, but
rather, it’s talking about how to use your
God-given Skill(s) to continuously put food on
your table and that of your family as an
average Nigerian youth.
Today, so many Nigerians live in abject
poverty; a life of anguish and distress.
This is common because most individuals
haven’t discovered their talents. To me,
talent is a natural ability/skill, it is
something that an individual knows how to
do best and if consistency is added to it,
such person can use it to make a living.
Everybody has his/her talent but the
problem is how to discover it, but I think
it shouldn’t be a problem for you reading
this. Skill is something you acquire and
learning how to do things is one of the
ways of discovering your talent. If you’re
an average Nigerian, you must be ready to
learn for you to be successful. Those rich
people you’re hearing of today didn’t make
easily as you’re thinking, they passed
through struggles like you before
discovering what they can do best; even
those politicians, that’s what they’re good
at. I’m not talking about going to school
before you can be acquainted, there are
many skill acquisition centres where you
can learn something and be perfected in it.
It’s your interest and how fast/good you
are doing that gives you the impression of
you discovering your talent.
Now, let’s take it that you’ve successfully
discovered a skill following the above
explanation. It’s time you start monetizing
the skill so you can use it to sustain life.
Nigeria is a country that almost all the
youths of nowadays are looking for quick
money without much struggles, that’s why
some invest their little pocket money on
sport bets and other corrupt engagements
but it’s not suppose to be so. Any man
who desires to live a life that his
generation will be proud of tomorrow will
take his time to work for it despite the
struggles involved. I believe that’s what
The Dangotes and others are enjoying
today!
Youths should stop putting blames on
Government and start doing something
meaningful. The Government didn’t tell
you to be outrageous, neither did they tell
you to be involved in corrupt practices. If
as a youth you can spot out the difference
between good and bad, life will be fair
for you soon. There are so many ways to
sell your talent to people. When you’ve
discovered it, think of how you can earn a
living with it.
There are hundreds of theories on how we
can end hunger and activists debate many
of them. Some have been effective and
others haven’t. One thing is certain, and
that is we must do something – and this is
what I think should be done. I believe
hunger can fought and changes will be
made annually in the economy of Nigeria
and in our lives as youths.

Don’t go stealing, don’t defraud people
and you don’t have to trick people just to
get your daily bread. Just believe in your
creativity and strive to make it work for
people to utilize. My advice for you is
that you forget about Nigeria’s dwindling
economy and think like someone who has
goals to achieve. Every individual has
potentials to excel, you just need to
discover them. Nigeria’s economy shouldn’t
stop you as a Nigerian youth. Think of
something creative, work on it, and
succeed!
As a patriotic Nigerian youth, I think Hunger
can be Defeated if this is done!
