"I have a dream not only for the North but for the entire nation. I have a dream that Nigeria will be truly united one day. I have a dream that Nigeria will have a buoyant, a strong economy. I have a dream that Nigeria will have the political cloud that will enable her to lead rest of the Africa and the blacks all over the world. I have a dream that Nigerians will come to regard one another as their brothers keepers. I have a dream that Nigeria will take her proper place in the committee of nations and will be one of the leading nations of the world. I have that dream, God's willing.. And all these ugliest things that are happening today will come to an end. Only God has no beginning nor end. Everything that you see good or bad has a beginning and it will have an end. By the grace of God we will see the end of all the crisis in Nigeria. By the grace of God we will come to know peace and stability in Nigeria. By the grace of God we will be our brothers keepers. Unfortunately today it is not so, and that is why I'm worried and that is why we are working for it.. Today Nigeria is not what it was. Nigeria was a decent country, morally sound, yes. But today, even the institutions of public is breaking down today. Respect for elders and constituted authority could used to be the cardinal principle in our society is now in it's lowest aim. Honesty where it does not pay has become meaningless. In short, there is meaninglessness in philosophy, insecurity in politics, chaos in politics, immoralities in society, corruption in economy, frustration in art, lack of creativity in literature."
