MEDITATION BY PLATOON 8- NYSC BATCH A STREAM II OGUN STATE SHAGAMU

PLATOON 8

Unity

Unity is synonymous to oneness, together in harmony. A united country has one goal and the citizens strive to achieve that goal with dedication and are even ready to pay the supreme sacrifice in the course.

A united people obey those in authority. Unity thus encompasses love, patriotism, selflessness, dedication, team work, loyalty, and sacrifice among other virtues.

A country that is not united cannot make reasonable progress in terms of development and peaceful cohabitation. Moreover, people that are not united cannot work together as a term. Religious difference should not be a factor of disunity.

That is only the NYSC scheme has succeeded in building bridges across tribes, languages, ethnic and cultural background. Building a strong and formidable youth force that is serving as a positive agent of change nationwide and is building a greater and better Nigeria of our dreams.

Fellow corps members, the necessity of unity cannot be over-emphasised. No wonder the Holy Book states “How pleasant and wonderful it is for brethren to dwell together in unity”

I therefore enjoin you all to be united in words and indeed here in the NYSC camp and hereafter to achieve the common goal of our dear country which peace, unity and progress

Long live Nigeria! Long live platoon 8!.
