Recent happenings around the world proves that the survival and development of the nations of the earth lies within the capacity of the youths of the world. Developmental activities cuts and transcend beyond geographical limitations and boundaries, hence the need to effectively network with likeminded youths the world over to synergize in order to bring about the long awaited change.

In line with the United Nations' MDGs, I am making this wake up call to you all not to be comfortable with your present state and rise up to the challenge of national and international development. Most especially, youths in underdeveloped and developing nations of the world.

Would you just fold your arms and look at your motherland/fatherland get utterly destroyed by power hungry individuals? Remember, home sweet home, there's no place like home come what may!

I am calling unto you all to take up the challenge and network with the youths at home who have not intermeddled with the evil geniuses of our present day.

This is a clarion call to you all...remember the vision and mission of TakingITGlobal! We are networking to make impact and not to encumber the network.

A word is enough for the wise.

Today, like what happened on 28 August 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C when Martin Luther King Jnr addressed a 250,000 capacity crowd to declare his dream for the American nation and people, I present to you today the declaration of my dream, passion and commitment to the emergence of THE NEW NIGERIA.

Almost forty-seven years ago, every individual living in Nigeria, both citizens and non-citizens, had great expectations concerning the future of Nigeria when they woke up very early on October 1st 1960 with everyone proudly waving the Nigerian National Flag on the streets, valleys and mountaintops of all the states in the country.

The period between 1954 to 1960 was characterized by the struggles for independence, intellectual breakthrough, economic boom and great discoveries (among such discoveries is the discovery of petroleum in Oloibiri, present day Bayelsa State). The joy of the day would be short lived after a brief period of enjoyment, and that would be the beginning of the downward slope of the nation's economy due to the neglect of the sector that serves as the backbone of the Nigerian economy (agricultural sector), infrastructural neglect and also due to neglect of the development of the human resources.

The period between 1960 to 1966 was characterized by political instability and power tussle between various individuals which led to tribal sentiments and bitterness, thereby making it difficult for Nigerians from different geographical and ethnic variations to relate freely without prejudice.

The economy of the country was dealt a major blow between 1966 to 1979, when General Yakubu Gowon (the then military head of state between July 29th, 1966 to July 25th, 1975) publicly declared that 'The problem of Nigeria is not insufficient money but how to spend the money the country was making from petroleum exportation'. This encouraged greed and strengthened corruption at all cadres of government. This statement also killed the latent drive in an average Nigerian to embrace hardwork and everyone started looking for easy ways to make more money, hence the rush for 'white collar jobs' and the neglect of other sectors of the economy. This period was characterized by mass influx of people from the rural areas to urban centers for 'the so-called white collar jobs'.

The period led to citizens loosing focus of 'what they can do for themselves' and the emphasis shifted to 'what the government can do for the citizens'. Therefore, every individual citizen believes the government should be able to provide them with employment in an economy where our major focus is on importation from food items to industrial materials.

Today, we are being made to believe that our great nation is so poor that we cannot even afford to service the loans that were sourced for developmental purposes from foreign institutions. In history, successive administration had always transferred debt upon debt to succeeding administrations and the volume of unserviced loans kept increasing which keeps putting the performance of the economy at the mercy of foreign countries and investors. But we refuse to believe that Nigeria is poor and bankrupt because we have an overwhelmingly vast wealth that we are yet to tap into, which all efforts must be channeled towards tapping fully into. We refuse that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunities of this great and promising nation.

It is based on the understanding of the aforementioned that I decided to stand against 'the status quo' and raise a counter force in order to aid the birthing of a new order that will influence decision-making in matters that affects our nation and the future of our children.

I am mindful of the fact that most of my brothers and sisters are still held in the world of 'Journey Of the Broke' employment where they do not have a distinct voice of their own to oppose 'the politically hungry and destructive agents' of our days who had plundered and are still plundering the resources of our great country, despite the level of skills and expertise possessed by a vast majority of the youths in the country.

BUT I say to you that in spite of all the challenges, frustrations and difficulties of the past and at the moment, I still have a dream. It is the dream that is deeply rooted in the Nigerian Dream (National Anthem).
-I have a dream that one day Nigeria will be set free from the grip of the wicked.
-I have a dream that one day Nigeria will rise up and live up to her rating as THE GIANT OF AFRICA.
-I have a dream that the geopolitical zones will no longer fight for political power but jointly work for national growth and development.
-I have a dream that the massive gap between the rich and the poor will be reduced and the middle class will emerge again.
-I have a dream that the common man will be free from oppression.
-I have a dream of empowering Nigerian youths to rise up and take responsibility for themselves and the nation at large
-I have a dream that every tribal barriers will be broken down and peace and tranquility will reign supreme in Nigeria.
-I have a dream of training and equipping at least 6000 youths on entrepreneurship by 2012 whose businesses will grow to become big multinationals.
-I have a dream of setting the stage for the alleviation of poverty and aid the process of wealth creation, which will lead to change of status.
-I have a dream of spearheading a major shift in the paradigm of Nigerian youths.
-I have a dream that there shall be the emergence of THE NEW NIGERIA where justice prevails and corruption is reduced to nothing in public offices.
-I have a dream that the economy of Nigeria will boom and flourish again through the exploits of the youths and godliness.
This is the confidence with which I commit all my time, energy and resources for the development and equipping of the youths in our great country towards the birthing of THE NEW NIGERIA.
This will be the day when all Nigerians will be able to freely and proudly sing again with one voice;
'O God of creation,
direct our noble cause,
guide our leaders right,
help the youths the truth to know,
in love and honesty to grow,
and living just and true,
great lofty heights attain,
to build a nation where peace
and justice shall reign'

Let freedom ring from every corner of the thirty-six states of the federation and the federal capital territory. Nigeria will flourish again! "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
