In a landmark lecture at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna, Air Peace CEO Allen Onyema delivered a powerful call to action, urging Nigerians to embrace nationalism and unity, transcending ethnic and religious boundaries. Onyema's message resonated deeply, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and appreciating Nigeria's diversity as a strength, rather than a weakness.
With a rich cultural heritage and 378 ethnic nationalities, Nigeria is a nation blessed with diverse perspectives, skills, and experiences. However, this diversity has often been a source of conflict and division. Onyema's leadership and vision offer a beacon of hope, inspiring Nigerians to work together towards a brighter future.
The military's role in maintaining unity and stability was a key focus of Onyema's lecture. He emphasized the importance of appreciating the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces, who have tirelessly worked to keep the country safe and united. By recognizing their efforts, Nigerians can foster a sense of unity and purpose.
Onyema's call to action is a timely reminder that Nigeria's strength lies in its diversity. By embracing inclusivity and promoting national unity, Nigerians can overcome the challenges that have held the country back for so long.
