I would just love it if President Tinubu becomes an adhoc clergyman today mounting the pulpit and delivering a Christmas sermon titled I Have Been To The Mountain Top And Seen The Promised Land

[1] I foresee an African giant of a nation with a landmass of about 3m square kilometres. This will include about 800,000 sq kilometres of Sahara Desert

[2] I envisage a socialist secular nation with a population of 1bn people where power is devolved to the federating units

[3] I dream of a gross domestic product of about $30trn putting this mega African nation in sharp competition with China, India, the US and a United States of Europe

[4] This super power will have an annual budget of about $5trn which guarantees 99% literacy rates

[5] It will have a standing army of about 10m men. One of their main takes will be policing the Sahara Solar Farm, which will be the greatest wonder of all the wonders of the world

[6] I dream of an economy that accounts for about 20% of global industrial output

[7] I envisage a nation that accounts for about 25% of global agricultural output

[8] We will one day have a nation that generates 50% of the world’s solar power. Our solar desert will make the Pyramids of Egypt, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus, etc, look like child’s play

[9] I dream of a country that serves as the spiritual home of the negro. If blacks people are maltreated anywhere, we will organise an immediate evacuation

[10] Once every two years, we will host Festac in a 300,000 seater stadium. This is a nation that will ultimately spearhead living on the moon!
