UNITED WE STAND AFRICA ( LET'S LEARN FROM THE ANTS)

I remember when l was a little boy, mama always say to me "you can never survive in an isolation". Even if you don't have to think like everybody, you have to act like everybody." This never made a lot of sense to me as a little boy. As I grew with the passage of time and gaining my conscience, I understood and came to the realisation that l can never survive in an isolation, I truly need to mingle with some people to achieve my goals in life.

As a geographer who always love to explore his environment, i try to look around to know how the environment can influence my life positively. Then i discovered that one of the things that God has created and blessed us with is the "ANTS". I try to study the Ants, the kind of love and unity they shared in their kingdom.

On a sunny afternoon, i decided to take a pie and cold coca cola for lunch. During the process, some pieces of pie dropped on the floor and 3 minutes later, i saw an Ant moving around in search of food. Fortunately, the Ant came across some of the pieces of pie which is too big for the Ant to carry.
After struggling very hard to carry the food, some Ants joined in the process to transport the food to their hole. Immediately, i remembered this saying that "United we stand, divided we fall." The Ants with the kind of love and unity they shared were able to carry the pieces of pie to their hole.

There is this Africa popular saying that "The Ants unite together to build their house." I.e you will never see one Ant trying to build a house (Ant Hill), they do it collectively.

RESPECT

Ants also show respect for one another in their kingdom and this can be seen in the kind of ruling system they pratised. I called it monarchy system of government. They have the King and Queen, Soldiers and Workers and everyone carries out their duties honourably without any complain.

PREPARATION

Ants are very wise to the extent that they gather their food in the dry season, eat some and save the rest against raining season. That is why during the raining season, you will never see any Ants moving around because they know the implication to their life.

Bringing it down to we humans, we need to learn and inculcate a lot from the Ants in terms of;
