Activist Aisha Yesufu is expressing frustration that the National Assembly is prioritizing trivial matters, such as Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan, over critical issues like Nigeria’s sinking economy and climate change. Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, is actually one of the 11 cities worldwide predicted to disappear by 2100 due to rising sea levels.
This is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention and action from the government.
The National Assembly should focus on addressing the country’s pressing problems, such as the impact of climate change, economic instability, and infrastructure development. Instead, they’re wasting time on non-essential issues that don’t contribute to the nation’s progress.
Aisha Yesufu’s statement highlights the need for accountability and responsible governance in Nigeria.
It’s worth noting that climate change-induced sea-level rise poses a significant threat to international peace and security, as warned by the United Nations Secretary-General.
The phenomenon can lead to mass migration, competition for resources, and loss of territory, ultimately affecting global stability. Nigeria, being one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, should take proactive measures to mitigate its effects.
Aisha Yesufu’s call to action emphasizes the importance of prioritizing critical issues over trivial ones. The National Assembly must recognize the urgency of addressing Nigeria’s challenges and work towards creating a better future for its citizens.
