Nigeria: Millionaires accused of having pizzas taken in London by plane

In
Nigeria more than 110 million
people live in poverty. They have nothing to eat or where to sleep. They must search daily for ways to survive. They represent nearly 60% of the population. And yet, there are others who have more. That when they want, they give themselves even odd tastes. Order a pizza in a corner at 4674 kilometers is one.

Last week, the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, denounced the fact that in the country where the majority of the population is hungry, some are asking for pizza.

London

they order the airline British Airways to bring it to them.

"Do you know that there are Nigerians who use their cell phones to order a pizza in London, they report it to British Airways and that they pick it up the next morning at the airport, the situation is very painful and we must act much faster to reduce things, "said the official.

He was not the only one to have referred to this topic. Amara Nwankpa, director of the Yar & Adua Foundation, which fights for social justice and good governance, ironically replied on Twitter: "Dear @British_Airways, why do not you tell us that you have a delivery service of pizzas in Nigeria? Is there an application for this? "

The badertion, addressed to the billionaires, was not only an ethical reproach, but also one of the problems that this practice could pose to local farmers, who are ravaged by capitalism and who were once protected by a government that has launched initiatives to reduce imports of foreign products, as published by the newspaper El País.

Nigeria is a nation of extreme contrast. In front of the millions of people living in extreme poverty, there are overwhelming examples of minorities who earn fortunes and do not suffer. According to estimates, the five richest people in the country could put an end to the suffering of the rest of their compatriots.
