- Daddy Freeze stated that the Naira would continue to fall as long as Nigeria isn’t exporting enough commodities to gain foreign currencies in return.
- He added that fixing the country is in the hands of the government and it’s citizen
- He advised Nigerians who are earning poorly to go back to their villages and venture into farming in a bid to combat the looming famine.
Controversial Nigerian broadcaster, Daddy Freeze, has taken to social media to express his concerns about the looming famine crisis in Nigeria.
With the country facing economic instability and rising food prices, Daddy Freeze warns that without urgent intervention, millions of Nigerians could be left without access to basic necessities.
He predicted that as long as Nigeria doesn’t export enough commodities to earn hard currency in return, the Naira will keep losing value.
He advised Nigerians who are working in the metropolis for meager pay to go back to their villages and start farming in an effort to stave off the impending famine.
In a recent video message released on his social media page, Daddy Freeze stated:
“We will continue to see the decline in our currency because we are not selling anything and getting hard currencies in return. That needs to be fixed by two sets of people: the government and the citizenry.
“Citizens, if you’re working in Lagos and you’re earning N50,000 monthly, I think it is high time you went back to your village, got some land and started farming. There’s a looming possibility of a famine in this country. There’s not enough food to go around.
“From my understanding of the situation, here is my advice: My Igbo brothers and sisters building mansions to compete with each other in the village…I’m not saying it’s wrong, but instead of building mansions, build more factories.
You need to build more factories and the government needs to support you. The government needs to do whatever it takes so that your businesses can succeed.
“And by business, I mean businesses with export targets. Whatever you are producing should be exported. We import milk from France and Denmark. We cannot rely only on oil. The government needs to support local manufacturers.”
