When you are the world’s largest black nation, you simply have to think biggest, tallest, longest and fastest. Today, everything they do in China and Dubai is built with that in mind.

Nigeria’s fundamental problem is that we are not productive enough. Solve that and you will resolve 90% of our socio-economic and political woes.

After World War Two, the Soviet Union was achieving something like 28% annual economic growth, which is what we should aim for in 2025 and beyond. We do not have a choice as by 2050, we will be the third most populous nation on earth.
