Youth joblessness, a time bomb waiting to explode in North – ACF

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has warned that Nigeria will go up in flames if Northerners decide to fight back the attacks on them in other regions.

Spokesman of ACF, Emmanuel Yawe made this known while advising Northern youths against retaliation in the face of all forms of provocations.

Yawe pleaded with youths in the North to stay calm and not set Nigeria ablaze by avenging the attacks on them.

ACF spokesman in a statement recalled how the 1960’s vengeful killings set the nation in flames.

He said, “You see, the thing about the north is that people will be provoking the north and the north will just keep quiet, but once the north retaliates, the whole country will go in flames.

“So we will continue to advise Northern youths not to take the law into their hands, they should remain calm and not set the country ablaze.”

The plea by the ACF spokesman is coming at a time some Northern groups declared the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, wanted for the destruction and killings of Northerners in the Southeast.

17 Northern groups under the aegis of the Northern Consensus Movement (NCM) had made the declaration while placing a bounty of N100 million on the IPOB leader.
