In the context the president used the word merge, I agree with him.

As usual very few read the body.

It is only postings like the NYSC, Police, Army etc that will make a southern born kid to ever visit a place like Gereng, Gubio, Michika, potiskum, Pasham etc

If not for NYSC, what will make you an Easterner go to igboora, and live there with the people, interacting, eating their food and even bedding their women.

So Mr. President isn't wrong

Since he right, that means he himself isn't included in d unity enhancing activities

Oya make we divide kpatakpata.

chiommy123:
Are you sure our beloved President reads the news coming from his dear country cos if he does he will know how the police and soldiers intimidate the civilians and then tell if that brings unity and thank God he knows he himself is far from uniting Nigeria

He's the GCFR, a military office so he's also part of the military.

What about oil?

The same armed forces that you have used to terrorise the citizens of this country,

please go and rest we are not fools !!

Go back to igboland na, you and your people will be crying to the UN

I blame Tinubu

The only tested & trusted Unity in Nigeria is via NYSC....

Pamatips:
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the National Youth Service Corps, the Armed Forces and the Police are the only bodies uniting Nigeria, saying this is why corps members in particular, should re-dedicate themselves to uniting Nigeria.

He called on corps members to use their education “to live up to the expectation of the founding fathers” to keep Nigeria together.



Buhari spoke in his Daura country home, Katsina State, on Sunday when corps members paid him Sallah homage.

The President had received the corps members in company with the visiting President of Republic of Guinea, Prof. lfa Conde.

He specifically mentioned the NYSC, the police and soldiers as the “only” bodies keeping Nigeria united.

“From Lagos, Port Harcourt and other parts of the country, you are at the end of the country. This posting will make you know this place, Daura, and you can disabuse the minds of those who are not educated about the other side of the country.

“It is only the NYSC that is merging (uniting) us together and of course, the police and soldiers,” a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, quoted the President as telling the NYSC members.

Buhari told his guests that at every opportunity he had meeting with a former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), who initiated the NYSC in 1973, he would always express his appreciation for introducing the scheme.

He told the corps members to guard the scheme jealously and to see the unity of Nigeria a priority.

“The President said they should always emphasise the common values of peaceful co-existence, kindness and hospitality that cut across all cultures and religions in Nigeria.



“President Buhari said the entire nation depends on past and serving youth corps members to bridge the country, since they have the first-hand experience of living with different ethnic groups in various parts of the country, studying their cultures and traditions, and enjoying hospitality, which underpins every community in Nigeria,” the Presidency added.

Buhari donated two cows, 10 bags of rice to the visitors and an undisclosed amount of money.

Conde, who also made a remark at the event, identified Nigeria’s diversity as its greatest strength.

He noted, “First, you are Nigerians before you are from any other part of the country. So, promote the unity of the country regardless of your ethnic group.”

The corps members were led on the visit by the Chief Liaison Officer of NYSC in Daura, Aliyu Abdullahi.

He told the President that it was a privilege to serve in his home town and also to “meet with him and the Eid el-Kabir special guest, President Conde.”

Abdullahi urged Buhari to step up the war against corruption and insecurity.

funmisticism... sorry feminism na scam too

In4matic:
The media is a big contributor to the problems of this country.

Imagine the president said NYSC 'MERGES' Nigeria but the reporter replaced merge with unite.

Buhari doesn't know English so well.
There's no way you can merge a people...it makes no sense.
The idea he tried to pass is the message of unity

Taaaaa Dillard president,,,,every Nigeria is uniting Nigeria,,,its only Buhari and his Fulani brothers that are setting it asunder

How not to be a president.

Baba doesn't know that poverty, fear, Hunger are the main things uniting us. Baba try de read nairaland

Topsic70:
NYSC maybe, but police/military? A big no! Even tribalism, ethnitism and bigotry has crept in. Many of those guys are purely carrying guns for their daily bread. No patriotism whatsoever, and I pity their innocent colleagues.



What would make d bigotic soldier below work with the people he so much hates if not survival/salary?

What are d chances dt ds soldier will not use d opportunity of a gun battle with the nation's enemy to shoot his tribal enemy?

Hmmm...

Exactly. Thats what it was planned to be. It now seems abused and purpose is divergent.

..of ideals and actualisation.
