A viral video circulating online serves as a poignant reminder of the dire conditions prevailing in parts of the Niger Delta region. The footage captures a rural woman, with a baby strapped to her back and balancing farm produce on her head, attempting to navigate a rickety makeshift wooden bridge. Eventually, she receives assistance from a younger woman waiting at the other end.

This distressing video vividly illustrates the neglect and decay that have engulfed the region, leaving its residents disheartened. It underscores the collective disappointment in the leadership’s inability to address pressing needs and improve the lives of those in the Niger Delta.

The video raises an important question: Should Nigerian citizens be subjected to such extreme hardship in order to sustain their lives?
