BIAFRA: We Are Brothers, Lets Live In Peace! Northern Youths Tell MASSOB

At a press conference yesterday, the Northern youth under the aegis of the Arewa Triumphant Youth Foundation, (ATYF) urged South- Easterners, especially Biafra agitators, to lay down their arms and embrace peace. According to the National President of the group, Ibrahim Yusuf, Northerners will not be happy to see South-Easterners pull out of Nigeria. He begged them to embrace peace irrespective of tribe or religion and also asked the government to come to their aide. Hear him;

“We are brothers. We should be able to live together as one big family. Nothing should separate us. MASSOB should lay down their arms, and allow us to stay together for the betterment of this great country. 

“There is no doubt that 99 per cent of these people that are into these various crises are young persons, and this is because they are jobless, and to stop them from being violent, government at all levels must provide jobs and the enabling environment for the youth.

“President Buhari should fulfill his promise paying N5,000 to unemployed persons in the country, even though I don’t support the idea of sharing money because it may cause crisis, and make people lazy.

“I will rather support government giving the people nets to catch fish than giving them fish to eat, and rebuild the country of one nation, one vision and one   goal.

“Government should realise that as one Nigeria, until it brings everybody together, the country will continue to have crisis.”
