Taiwo gave the advice in Nsukka on Tuesday during the investiture of their patrons organised by the Man O’ War Nigeria Eagle Unit in Nsukka Area Command.
He said that youths should not allow negative influences in society and in their immediate environments to determine their future, stressing that the organisation aims to instill discipline, and good values, as well as ensure physical and mental fitness that will help youths achieve their aim in the future.
“Discipline, good value, and mental fitness will go a long way in helping youths to achieve their aims in the future as well as being patriotic citizens.
“It is better to catch them young because being in an organisation like Man O’ War will mould their character and prevent them from committing crimes and being influenced by social vices.
