HOW AREWA YOUTHS HAVE INSULTED YORUBA PEOPLE

Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that the Arewa Youth have not only threatened the Igbos, they have also insulted the Yoruba people and "accuse us of trying to impose Osinbajo."

In a series of tweets published on his page Wednesday, Fani-Kayode reworked figures that showed the level of poverty in the North, insisting that the break would be to his disadvantage.

He said that of the 12 million children who do not attend school in Nigeria, 10 million come from the North.

He also stated that Kano only has 3 million beggars and 90% of young people suffering from VVF are from the North.

Fani-Kayode wrote: “12 million children are out of school in Nigeria. Out of the 12 million, 10 million are from the north. Kano alone has 3 million beggars.

“Nigeria has the highest number of young girls suffering from VVF in the world. And 90 per cent of those young girls are from the north.

“UNICEF have said that if Nigeria were to ever break up the core north would be the poorest and most barren place on the African continent.

“All this yet Arewa Youth not only threaten the Igbo but today they have also insulted the Yoruba and accused us of trying to impose Osinbajo.”
