These Are The 4 Countries Facing A Terrible Water Crisis #WorldWaterDay

Every 22 March, the world celebrates World Water Day, but things are not as they seem

Right now, the United Nations says it’s facing the worst humanitarian crisis since it was created in 1945, and 4 major countries will be affected by drought, famine and ultimately starvation

1. Those countries include: Nigeria

via Guardian Nigeria

Northern Nigeria as well as the Lake Chad region is at serious risk. After suffering from terror attacks, extreme conditions may cause millions to die, including children. In some communities, all the toddlers have died, and adults are too weak to even walk.

2. Somalia

via Oxfam

Somalia has suffered from terror-related conflict just like Northern Nigeria and in 2011, it suffered severe famine. Now, more than one million children under the age of 5 may die due to malnutrition this year.

3. South Sudan

via LA Times

The World’s youngest country, South Sudan’s famine is described as ‘handmade’, because of the 3-year-long civil war the country is currently facing. 7.4 million people need aid and 270,000 children face imminent death if they don’t get assistance.

4. Yemen

via Al Jazeera

Yemen is the poorest Arab nation, but Saudi Arabia and Iraq are supporting two opposing factions that want to control the Yemeni government. The conflict has affected more than 12 million Yemenis who currently need both water and food.

Want to help?

UNHCR, Mercy Corps, Save The Children, UNICEF are some of the aid organisations helping to fight the crisis. Visit their websites for more information on how to donate.

A Message to Mum

1. How often do you tell your mom you love her?

Not often. Stop lying. Here’s the thing though; you probably should do so often. Scratch that, you DEFINITELY should — every day. Here are few reasons why:

2. You would not be here without her

3. She prays for you, even when you don’t remember her for days.

4. Because she always knows how to cheer you up.

5. She would do anything for you.

6. Remember when you broke your ankle (or was it your knee, your wrist or your skull – it’s got to be one of those) and she simply took care of you instead of getting mad? Big reason.

7. She helped you make sense of this menstrual pain business.

So … You should totes show her you love and appreciate her this mother’s day. Start by telling her you love her. Use the free Knorr #MessageToMom webapp to send a message to mom this mother’s day. It will send a text to your mom and create a video of you and your mom that you can share on Facebook and Twitter too.

8. Send a #MessageToMom Now!

So go on, send a message. Send that message, person reading these words on their phone (or is it your computer?) It’s the least you can do for a mom that has given up so much for you. Do it.

via Nigerian Lazy Chef

As with any southern soup, Ofe Onugbu(Bitter leaf soup) is basically heaven sent. You can have it with any swallow but I recommend pounded yam!

4. Let’s not forget the crispy and delicious Abacha

The first time I tried this, my taste buds literally exploded with delight. Plus it’s so light-as in, African Salad- that you can eat as much as you want.

5. We can never leave out Ukwa

via Maggi Star

Made with African Breadfruit, this meal is rich in protein and can be prepared in a plain way or in a jollof way.

If you love Ukwa, you’ll love Maggi’s #DeliciousNaija Onitsha episode
