 Morehouse defends students, faculty who turned their backs during Biden speech: ‘We are proud’ Morehouse College is praising its students and faculty after at least seven graduates and one faculty member sat with their backs turned to President Biden as he delivered his commencement address at the Atlanta school earlier Sunday. Morehouse said "peaceful assembly is core" to the school’s "social justice tradition," and its administration "fully supports and defends the right to peacefully protest and the expression of one’s views openly."  Given its most famous alumni, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Morehouse said it was "fitting that a moment of organized, peaceful, activism would occur on our campus while the world is watching to continue a critical conversation."  "We are proud of the resilient class of 2024’s unity in silent protest, showing their intentionality in strategy, communication, and coordination as a 412-person unit," Morehou

 CDS: We must work hard to shame those who don’t like Nigeria’s blessings


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, 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.”
