    The Nigeria of my Dreams.

    I have a dream ………. Said Martin Luther King Jr.in his famous speech .
    Everybody have a dream. I also have a dream concerning this great nation of
    ours, Nigeria.

    The Nigeria of my dream is a land where respect for elders, honesty and
    accountability; cooperation, industry, courage, discipline, self-confidence
    and integrity are the core values of its people. I see a new Nigeria that its
    citizens value hard work and realise that one cannot have something for
    nothing. A Nigeria where poverty is a thing of the past. A country that its
    citizens can be proud to belong to and grateful to inhabit, a Nigeria that
    rewards hard work, protects its people and their property and offers its
    children better prospects than those they may be tempted to seek in Europe
    or the United States. A Nigeria where all its citizens knows that their loyalty
    and diligence will be rewarded. A Nigeria where the welfare, health,
    employment, education, political power, physical security and the
    development of its citizens is of paramount importance.

    How long would we (all Nigerians including me) dream and wish to be
    citizens of better land. All these dreams I had can be fulfilled, if Nigerians
    will embrace the right values such as accountability, transparency,
    participation, inclusivity and quest for societal gain among others.

    Nigeria has all it takes (human and material resources) to become the
    strongest economy in Africa and one of the leading economies in the world.
    I believe it’s a step in the right direction for us as a nation, adopting the
    Millennium Development Goals (MDGS). The goals are: Eradicate extreme
    Poverty and Hunger, Achieve Universal Primary Education, promoting
    Gender Equity and empower women, Reduce Child Mortality, improve
    maternal health care, combats HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases, ensure
    environmental sustainability and develop a global partnership for
    development.

    Our commitment and participation are among the things required to


    achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGS) by 2015. With wise
    management, Nigeria could become Africa’s largest economy and play a
    significant role in the global economy. Our country is large and diverse.
    Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources including arable land,
    natural gas, petroleum, tin, columbite, iron ore, coal, limestone, lead, zinc,
    kaolin, gold, gemstones, graphite, marble, tantalite, uranium, salt, soda and
    Sulphur. We are the sixth largest producer of oil in OPEC.

    All these dreams will remain mere daydreams, unless we embrace the right
    values; mutual respect i.e recognizing the innate dignity and worth of all
    people and the value of diversity, equity and justice, honesty and
    transparency and humility.

    Finally, I believe this dream is our dream. Everyone has a role to play. If
    everyone plays it well, Nigeria will surely be great. In my dreams, I see a
    new Nigeria in the hands of God. Let us therefore, join hands and make the
    dream come true.
