Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has attributed the mass exodus of Nigerians to foreign countries to frustration and unemployment.
The former president expressed worries that Nigeria is losing a lot of money due to youths leaving the country for greener pastures in other countries.
He said, “I’m worried, particularly with the youth. I have said it before and I’ll say it again, we are all sitting on a keg of gunpowder if we ignore our youths.
“They are frustrated, they are hungry, they are unemployed, and they are angry.
“Now part of the lecture we had is the amount of money we are losing by the Nigerian youths that ‘japa’. I’m worried about that.”
