The United Nations has cautioned youths not to work against the country's interests, warning that if Nigeria collapses, the world will be unable to welcome 240 million Nigerians as migrants.

Mrs. Amina Mohammed, the UN's Deputy Secretary-General, said this in a statement signed by Oluseyi Soremekun, the UN's National Information Officer for Nigeria.



She warned Nigerian youths to start constructing the country with their God-given abilities and talents rather than glamouring for division that is capable of igniting a war.

She spoke against the backdrop of the role of youths in the #EndSARS protests, which turned violent after being hijacked by hoodlums, as well as young Nigerians' social media attacks on the country.

Her statement, titled “Be proud of Nigeria, don’t condemn her, don’t lose hope”, read;

“You have got education, you have the tools, and you have a huge future ahead of you, and you are condemning yourself before you start on that journey.

“Do not do that! Be proud of Nigeria your country; do not condemn her and do not lose hope.

“If you think Nigeria is worse than better, then how are you going to turn it around? If you do not want to build this nation, I do not know where you want to go.

Another Otellectual has displayed her otellectuality. Nigeria has jaggared. We will live here in our separate countries. We don't want asylum, we want to be citizens of Biafra and Oduduwa nations. Be warned!

Mtcheeew , I thought it was a real UN that said something. I don't know is one quota system product fulani woman who needs Nigeria to continue existing so that her fulani people will conquer Nigerians and takeover lands belonging to indigenous people.

Madam a call for self determination is not a call for war. Am Sure if the Fulanis had indigenous land they will not allow a foreigner to come and take over their land and rule them . But that's exactly what the Fulanis are currently doing to the Hausas and plan to do the rest of Nigerians...that's why they need Nigeria to continue existing.

Finally, madam, we will gladly accept and fight that war and even die than to live in the same country with you blood thirsty fulani people.

Stay on your own, and I stay on my own... is there anything wrong with that ?

China will.

She no lie, if the country falls into war, u will understand what xenophobia really is

The dot Nationals will suffer most because they don't like staying in their region.

That's why Buhari appointed Amina Mohammed as UN deputy secretary to be saying nonsense...

Are you Northerners not ashamed of yourself the kind of nonsense you say...

Which youth is she talking about, Nigeria future is filled with old people who are older than the country...

Someone Should tell me what Buhari and Tinibu should be doing in government, this People are old enough to be taking care of by their kids...

So what is this person saying , that we should allow ourselves to be killed, raped and ravaged because we want to be one. Haven't you heard of stay your own I stay my own? Must we fight war, even couples divorce without fights how much more a country of people who have little in common trying to live together.

The world should know that Nigeria's matter is an issue of "pikin we no want him mama sleep, him self no go sleep".

We are tired of being a shame to the world, we want restructuring, or worse off peaceful division or last last division by war

I will rather die fighting for yorubaland than to become a refugee in another another country
