Like birds, desperate hungry women, men and children are seen struggling to pick scattered grains of beans and rice from the floor.
Amid the hunger ravaging Nigeria, residents of Madara ward in Kontagora Local Government Area of Niger State, have been captured in a video struggling for food given as palliative by the government.
National Watch Tv could not ascertain the exact date of the incident, but the video seen on Thursday scores of residents of the ward including children, women, and elderly struggling to get a share in what look like two 50kg bags of rice and beans.
Amid the struggle, the bags were ripped, spilling their content on the ground as some old women were pushed to the ground.
A voice in the video narrating the unfortunate incident is heard saying: “You see what is going on, fighting everywhere. Palliative! Palliative!! Palliative!!! Palliative for Madara Ward. Them dey steal the bag. They don steal the bag and they are running with it. They don tear it, you can see the palliative on the ground. See palliative for ground.”
“You see they are still fighting for the palliative. See the bag they are dragging. Even old woman don fall. Mama, don’t kill yourself. See children for ground struggling for palliative,” the narrator said.
