According to the lady, the areas witnessing the heightened insecurity coincide with regions rich in fertile lands and abundant mineral resources. She suggested a connection between the attacks and the agenda of individuals or groups seeking to exploit the mineral wealth of Northern Nigeria.

She said;

‘’Do you know that most of these places under attack in Northern Nigeria have some of the biggest Natural resources underneath the ground and the trading of those Natural resources are going on while people are being killed in those communities. Do you know?

Let me bring you up to speed real quick. If you realize, some of the most fertile lands in Northern lands in Nigeria are the ones being attacked. Most of our fresh, beautiful vegetables and fruits come from  Plateau state. Do you know what is underneath these fertile land? It is also solid minerals.

People are killed daily while miners are mining those lands. How can you raise down an entire village, bring it down to ashes, evacuate everybody there and go behind their backs to go and be mining their gold. How wicked can you be.

Do you know that it is not only affecting our economy but also the food supply for the common man who cannot afford to eat.

I am a farmer. The rate at which food is going to be scarce in 2024, you are not ready for it. Things that we buy for as low as N20, 000 when they are in surplus , we bought for N80, 000 when it was in surplus. You are not ready for it.”

The video highlights the deep-seated concerns among some Nigerians regarding the intersection of security challenges and resource exploitation, emphasizing the potential impact on the nation’s food production and availability in the coming year. As the situation unfolds, the lady’s insights contribute to the ongoing conversation about the multifaceted issues affecting various regions of Nigeria.
