Living In An Ivory Tower

“You can’t live in an ivory tower in New York and think the rest of the world can burn and it won’t affect you,” says Nwanze, 66. “The world has become a global village. When you look back at what happened during the food-price crisis in 2007 and 2008, it was a wake-up call. It resulted in food riots in 40 cities across the world. It brought down governments. When people are hungry and angry in rural areas, it results in political instability.”
