MY DREAM

MY DREAM.
MY NIGERIAN DREAM.
Fela Durotoye, a truly
great man, dreamt a dream of a future Nigeria . It was a dream that come 12 midnight December 31st, 2025,
Nigeria will be one of the world’s most desirable nations. It was a dream that Nigeria will be so economically
buoyant, that we would be among one of the top 20 developed economies of the world . It was a dream that thegreen passport would be the most sought after the world over . 

It was a dream of foreign nationals trooping into Nigeria to be a part of the good things happening in Nigeria . It was a dream that Nigeria will be producing at least 1 million megawatts of electricity from many sources of power generation such as solar energy , nuclear reactors , and geothermal sources, not just from hydroelectric sources alone. Guess what ? One Nigerian discovered how to generate electricity from the air! I’ll save her name for later . The dream we dreamt back then
was a dream that the average Nigerian higher institution will be comparable to the Harvard ’ s and Oxford ’ s of the world .
 
Today , we have 15 Nigerian higher institutions among the global top 100. We dreamt a dream that Mushin wouldbe like Dubai, Port Harcourt like Sydney in Australia, Jos like Nevada and many more cities of ours would be so advanced, Nigeria would be a mini -heaven .
Many years have passed and today I can boldly declare that we have become that dream . Tourism has increased
so much so that we now have rock -climbing as a sport in Jos, sky - diving in Obudu and Maiduguri, and deep sea diving in Lagos. There’s even this spot called Aquatic City in Lagos. I really can’t explain it but let me just say that it’s like a big aquarium where you can go under it and see the beautiful fishes. The design came from a
Nigerian who had seen a prototype in Japan . We have also become a permanent member of the UN Security Council and we are the current head of the African Union . I have a DREAM.
