We must work hard to shame those who don’t like Nigeria’s blessings– Chief of Defence Staff

 Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff, has called on
Nigerians, irrespective of tribe or religion to unite and fight Nigeria’s
common enemies.

 

Speaking at the second edition of the Unity Schools Old
Students Association (USOSA) sports carnival, in Abuja, Musa said the common
enemies of Nigeria are terrorism, banditry, and other social vices.

 

“Nigeria is challenged; so we need a united Nigeria to
confront all the challenges we are facing. Nigerians must unite and confront
the evil that is coming against us. So many people do not like the blessings we
are having as a country,” NAN quoted him as saying.

 

“We must shame them by working together as a team and
together we will continue to move forward.”

 

Musa said sport is a factor that unites people and stressed the
need for Nigerians to foster peace and promote national unity.

 

“At this sports carnival today, we are all one; we all love
Nigeria. Nigeria gave us so much while in unity schools and that is what we are
trying to bring out,” he said.

 

“This is a good opportunity and we all know how sports unite
us and teach discipline to understand oneself and to make sacrifices to know
that there will be failures in life.

 

 “What does one do
when he or she fails? He or she rises and moves forward and that is what we are
trying to preach.”

 

Musa also called on Nigerians to continue to promote the
country’s diversity for national development.

 

In his remarks, Michael Magaji, president-general of USOSA,
called on Nigerians to continue to promote teamwork and excellence within the
nation’s diversity as a way of adding value to the national common heritage.

 

“We see Nigerians in unity from all parts of the country
coming here and using sports to promote teamwork and excellence which help to
manage and understand the country’s diversity,” he said.

 

 “Unity schools were
set up more than 50 years ago primarily to promote quality education, but more
importantly to promote nation building.

 

“We must continue to work together to integrate the ideals
of this project for our common goal.”
