Controversy regarding Nigeria's Ozoro fertility festival
Oliver Kirui, agricultural policy expert on food security, and Ejiro Umokoro, gender-based violence activist from Delta State, discuss viral footage from the Ozoro fertility festival and allegations of organised harassment. They cover the festival’s traditions, reported security failures, victims’ trauma and calls for accountability. They also examine how Middle East conflict is driving up fertilizer costs and the risk to African food supplies.
