Wednesday, July 24, 2024-Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has warned that if adequate attention is not paid to the needs of the youths in Africa, it will be very ugly for everyone on the continent.
Reacting to the recent protest in
Kenya, the former President said African youths have nothing to lose as many of
them are jobless, not empowered and in poverty
‘’If you have nothing to gain and you are
jobless, unempowered, in poverty and you see your leaders, some of them in
obscene affluence, What do you do? You are a human being and the resources of
your country are provided for that country by God for the benefit of all the
citizens of that country''
Obasanjo said what may happen in
Africa if the needs of the youths are not addressed as soon as possible may be
worse than the Arab Spring.
‘’It's the beginning and if no adequate
attention is paid to the needs of the youths in Africa, the autumn will turn to
winter and it will be very ugly for all of us''
