By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Doyin David, former Big Brother Naija housemate, has reiterated the level of hunger and suffering in the country, thanking God for her own situation, saying she is now more aware of the deep hardship some people are going through.
Now a reality TV personality, Doyin recounted her first visit to the popular Ogba Market in Lagos where she made observations up close.
Her words: “I realised today for the first time how detached from reality I am … people are suffering!!!!
“If you can afford food, accommodation and your basic needs you don’t even know what God has done for you.
“Today has to be the day I’ve felt the most grateful to God for the life I have.
“Yes I visited Ogba market and a place called Sunday market. All I could say last night was just thank you Jesus. Sometimes it’s good to visit places outside your comfort zone.
“I’ve never gone to the food market to buy even something as small as pepper in my entire adult life. I must have followed my mum once or twice as a child but I don’t even remember the experience
“Yesterday was really eye opening for me.
“It’s funny how I don’t even know how much they sell pepper or tomatoes or chicken or Turkey or anything at all. There is a whole world outside what I know or what I’m used to.
“I realised I’ve been a brat for the most part of my life. I get frustrated when I don’t get my way over frivolous things when there are people that can’t even feed.
“If you really want to know how privileged you are, visit the less privileged and you learn to be more grateful.”
