INTERESTING QUOTES FROM THE MY BOOK ‘’THE TRUTH ABOUT NIGERIA’’. “Nigeria has no leadership hero to be emulated, neither does it have purposeful leaders to be cited. The new generation must therefore be their own heroes, set their own purpose and create a generally acceptable standard of performance.” “Truly, we were born with nothing, but when we came into this world, we all need something and if we work hard enough, we shall acquire it.” ‘’Youthfulness or being a youthful person is an opportunity to make changes happen in your own life time. If you fail to effect the changes you deserve as a youth, you shall live the rest of your life hoping on others.’’ ‘’We must always strive to make others interested in the right direction and challenge them to take greater portion of their life, their work and their society.’’ ‘’For the African youth to stand a chance of restoring the negative precedence of our fathers, the new generation of leaders must set a new standard of leadership devoid of the inherited tribalism. We must embrace each other as brothers and sisters irrespective of tribe or religion and collectively set a common standard of leadership based on a common purpose with truth, sincerity, love and oneness.’’ ‘’There is no future waiting for the youths tomorrow, there is only today because in reality, there is no tomorrow. Tomorrow means forever and forever means timelessness. Therefore, we must all come to term with reality and know that the only tomorrow we have is today and today means this moment.’’ Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa; it has the largest enterprising citizens and also has the largest poverty. But despite its poverty, its citizens can still afford to provide certain alternative basic services for themselves. “If you are black, be a good black person. If you are white, be a good white person. If you are African, be a good African, if you are Arab, be a good Arab and if you are either European or American, just be good. If everyone can be good to humanity in their own little ways without being bad to any human, the world would be better for that.” “Without any doubt, Nigeria has proven to have monumental challenges confronting the country. However, none of its challenges is as a result of any natural disasters, they are artificially created by the activities of her leaders and citizens alike.” “There is no natural or spiritual intervention that can rescue Nigeria from its shaky state, unless its citizens reverse the trend with their actions.” “Change is not natural in human behaviour, though it is constant in human existence, but this doesn’t just occur out of the blue, it occurs as a result of events and actions or inactions.” Don’t write to impress, don’t write so people could praise your writing skills and style, rather, write to provoke self reflection to force change of attitude.
