No October 1 Celebration in Warri as Youths take to the Street in protest

The youths under the aegis  of Youth Democratic Alliance (YODA) International, commenced the protest from Airport Junction in Effurun and ended it at the ever busy Enerhen-Junction, with banners and placards bearing different inscriptions.

Addressing the youths, leader of the group, Comrade Israel O. Joe, lamented the spate of unemployment in the country.

“Today, our nation celebrates Independence Day tagged "Nigeria at 54." It is a day set aside for jubilation and celebration. It is also declared a public holiday. But in any sense, we should not be happy that our nation yet celebrates pretentious freedom with mighty economic chains. The rate of unemployment, joblessness and poverty is unthinkable. The youths of this nation still wallow in the hallowed chamber of economic injustice. The economic disequilibrium has been very obvious. The youths are not independent and the nation has presented to us a cheque of hopelessness, yet fastening our legs to the iron rod of bankruptcy.
