A REPORT: Nigerian Month-old Babies Are Dying Of Hunger! - Why And How To Identify And Help Them


The story in question, more than anything else, reveals that many parents of newborn babies in Nigeria can no longer afford baby food. What it means is that even babies in their numbers are going hungry in the country right now. What a shame!

It also implies that breastfeeding mothers are going hungry in their numbers too. It's as a result of the economic crunch, most of which could have been avoided. Again, what a shame!

It's really a big shame but cursing the darkness is not what we need now. Instead, we need to light a candle as much and as soon as we can.

How can we reduce or eliminate extreme hunger in Nigeria as soon as now? At least, how can we ensure that babies and breastfeeding mothers are taken out of hunger levels at least?

This Is What We Are Doing


As for us at Awake Digest, we are declaring an emergency on Nigeria's food insecurity. We will do everything we can to end extreme hunger in Nigeria as soon as possible. As we do this, we also call on the Government at all levels to take a cue from this.

In the interim, we are starting here to roll out our emergency ideas to help in this regard…

We are working on the premise that there are thousands of young Nigerian parents whose businesses and careers are severely challenged by the current poor economic indices.

First comes our idea to help in providing baby food to such families that have babies but their finances are so challenged they can't feed their babies well.

Let Such Parents Sign Up For Sponsorship - Or, YOU Can Sign Up For Them


If you have a baby but you are unable to afford baby food for the baby - or you know anyone in this kind of situation - kindly send your/their details including your/their physical address and phone number to us with the subject line, “HOPEFUL BABY FOOD BENEFICIARY”.

Make sure to include your/their phone number and physical address where the package will be delivered. Your claims will be verified by our partners in your locality too. So, don't be surprised if they ask to visit your home to ascertain the situation on ground.

Your details will be given directly to your sponsor who will send the package to you. They might opt to send you money instead.

As a beneficiary, don't worry about getting shamed because it's only your location and your sponsor’s detail alongside that will be published. This is for the sake of transparency and accountability.

Then, See How And Why We Can All Help To Feed These Babies


The first step here is to get people who are willing to sponsor packages of baby food for some babies across the country. If you are willing to do this, kindly contact us with the subject line, “BLESSED BABY FOOD SPONSOR''.

In the body of your message, tell us:
1. How many baby food packages you are willing to sponsor (for now, we estimate an average baby food package to cost the sum of ₦8,000 - Eight Thousand naira, unless otherwise stated from a later market research).
2. Then, give us details that you would like us to publish for the sake of transparency, accountability, and appreciation. Otherwise, just write ‘anonymous’.

Every donation will be noted and reported on this page. We foresee a situation where we might have to dedicate a page to this list, and it will be linked up here.

If a donor permits us, we will mention their names and other fringe details that will not compromise their privacy (like business name and contacts - which can have huge marketing value for their business). One individual or business can sponsor more than one baby or family.

Please, while the Government may not be forthcoming, let us help all we can to feed these children because they are our common future. One can also sign up as a part sponsor. Even if you can't be a sponsor at all, you can direct the attention of a potential sponsor to this. At least, you can share this until potential sponsors are reached.

Dear Scam Artists! 


Any attempt to bastardize this highly inspired charitable act and workflow, will be reported to the EFCC directly because that would amount to economic sabotage of the highest order. But, even if you succeed in cheating us, YOU WILL BE CURSED WITH GENERATIONAL POVERTY. Be warned.

A More Robust Plan In The Pipeline: Suggest Potential Partners For Us


We are working on some quick partnerships with reputable faith-based charity organizations across Nigeria. Our ideal partner is a faith-based charity that has a nationwide network.

The more widespread and entrenched the network the better. For instance, a faith-based charity organization that has a branch in every church or in every mosque is a good example. They are the ones, for example, to help us in ascertaining the authenticity of each request and also midwife the sending and collection of the relief materials.

So, please, help us by suggesting any such faith-based charity organisation you know that is available in Nigeria. Clue: We are working to have a situation where, if we get a request, we can immediately contact a church or mosque close to the address where the request emanates from.

A more robust plan to help reduce or eliminate extreme hunger in Nigeria is in the pipeline. For now, what we have here is an emergency arrangement because the situation requires top-level urgency.

More Ideas Are Welcome


If you have any idea that can help us to end extreme hunger in Nigeria without delay, kindly contact us with the subject line: MY IDEA TO END HUNGER IN NIGERIA. Alternatively, you can share your idea as a comment below. Feel free to criticize the above arrangement if your criticism can help to improve the workflow. Thank you for your time and attention.

This Is The Tap Root Of Nigeria's Problems

Many people are wondering why I refused to tell you my name. Now I tell you: it is because if I tell you my name, I am 99% sure that your tribal sentiments would militate against the message I have for the country. But the message I have is far more important than to be wasted on the altar of self-importance. Indeed, the message is so important that the messenger is of zero consideration in relation to it.  So, you don't need to know my name. I am not important here. My message is what is all-important. Therefore, Nigerians, give it every attention it deserves. If not, there is a calamity of great proportions that is coming upon this people and place called Nigeria. Let the above paragraphs serve as the introduction to my current message on the tap root of Nigeria's problems.  DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU CAN'T ACT DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU CAN'T ACT BECAUSE ALL WORDS AND NO ACTION MAKES YOU LOOK SO SILLY.  I know Nigerians as a complaining people. We are mostly all words

NIGERIA: Possible Strategies President Tinubu Is Using To Pocket The Country As He Did Lagos

Image source: The Southern Examiner I visited Festac Town Lagos in 2006 when Tinubu held sway as the state governor. One thing I noticed without anyone telling me was this high austerity level in the air - which contrasted sharply with my experiences in a couple other parts of the country. When I asked, I was told that the 3D suffering levels were as a result of The Obasanjo Federal Government withholding the allocation due to the state. I couldn't understand it because I always knew Lagos as a mega state with such a humongous IGR that it could function beyond average even without any federal allocation. It took me over a decade before I realized what the man was actually doing then under the noses of millions of citizens. I remembered to revisit this issue because I see now a reenactment of what happened in Lagos in those days. The only difference I see is that then, it happened at a state level but now it is happening at the national level. Here are some of the strate
