Food Insecurity: Nigeria Struggle’s Against Western Neo-liberal Policies – Expert

Nigeria’s problems are deeply rooted in the colonial-based EU/US Foreign Policy, coupled with the undue influence of the UN, IMF, and World Bank on our financial systems. These entities have granted unrestricted access to technocratic neocolonial forces like Bill Gates, allowing them to infiltrate our nation’s affairs unchecked.

Subservient to these enslavers, Nigeria currently lacks the strength to sever the chains of this modern-day colonialism. Many of our civil servants and politicians, lacking a basic understanding of global geopolitics, have embraced our enemies as friends and misidentified our potential allies as foes. A small amount of research would reveal that after World War I and World War II, the nature of warfare shifted. World War III will likely be dispersed across various fronts—political, economic, chemical-medical, educational, mental, human-capital, and large-scale international espionage.

For example, Nigeria’s reliance on Bayer Crop Science for food, under the guise of GMOs, represents a strategic capture of our food systems. This same Bayer Crop Science, responsible for chemical warfare during both World Wars and implicated in the Holocaust, is now gaining control over our agriculture. Nigeria’s approval to import and cultivate GMOs is not just a policy decision—it’s a direct hit from a war organization, targeting our nation’s ability to sustain itself.

Furthermore, the exodus of Nigerians, commonly referred to as the “Japa syndrome,” is systematically eroding our middle class. This phenomenon is not coincidental but rather a deliberate effort to eliminate an essential social class. Exams and visa processes are strategically designed to ensure that the best and brightest of our country are shipped abroad, further weakening the nation’s intellectual and economic backbone. This brain drain represents yet another strategic loss for Nigeria, stripping the nation of its future leaders, professionals, and innovators.

Even more troubling, some UN officials have been found complicit in conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war, with reports of UN trucks transporting weapons to terrorists and smuggling gold. Yet, Nigeria continues to approach the UN for debt relief, granting these same officials unchecked access to our nation’s affairs.

The gradual awakening of nations to these hidden wars may lead to the full-blown eruption of World War III, but many will have already lost before it even begins. When Nigeria is dependent on foreign entities like Bayer Crop Science for food security, how will we fight and win in the broader geopolitical battle?

If you understand the depth of destruction facilitated by certain civil servants and politicians, you would grasp why nations like Burkina Faso have begun their bold moves toward reclaiming their sovereignty.
