US-Born Journalist and Skitmaker Dan Bello Exposes Dire Living Conditions in Northern Nigeria

Dr. Bello Galadanci, a renowned skitmaker and journalist known as Dan Bello, has shared his concerns over the dire living conditions of vulnerable families in northern Nigeria through a TikTok video.

In the TikTok video, Dr. Bello Galadanci, who is a Kano State indigene born in the US criticizes the Nigerian government’s inaction in addressing the dire living conditions faced by its citizens, urging authorities to improve the welfare of vulnerable communities.

“There are millions of vulnerable families all over northern Nigeria. They are poor, young, unhealthy, uneducated, and struggling to pay rent,” he said.

Galadanci called for local governments to use their financial autonomy to aid such families.

“Every local government should establish a structure to identify such families. This programme should cater for their basic needs and education,” he advised.

He also stressed the need for transparency in these initiatives.

“LG chairpersons and ward councillors should cooperate to ensure this program is free of corruption,” he added.

In a video he posted, a family in Kano gives a harrowing account of their situation which underscores the urgency of such measures.

“My name is Aliyu and my sister’s name is Siyama. Our dad is late, and our mother is blind. We are from the Gwamaja area of Kano State,” said the children.

Their mother added, “My husband died more than a year ago. We have not received help from LG authorities or councillors. We eat when we go out to beg.”

This testimony highlights the critical need for local governments to act decisively in supporting vulnerable families.
