| Several Nigerians in the northeastern state of Borno are refraining from food after their governor called for "divine intervention" over the country's grave economic and security situations. | |
| On Friday, Governor Babagana Zulum urged residents to partake in a one-day statewide fast on Monday in response to the rising cost of food and the spate of landmine explosions across its major roads. | |
| Bello Zabarmari, a resident of Borno state, told the BBC that he and many others are fasting and praying to God to solve their problems. | |
| “We woke up with a fast today and hopefully all our prayers will be answered soon, the governor did the right thing by calling on people to fast,” he said. | |
| Umar Shehu, a resident who works with the state fire service department, said he and his colleagues are also fasting, as instructed by the governor. | |
| Nigerians are going through one of the country's roughest economic periods in history - the prices of food and basic items have skyrocketed in recent months. | |
