How desperate Argentina and England were to win yesterday is just a reflection of how big they dream as nation. Nigeria needs to follow suit with aspirations that look like this

[1] We want to build 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] South of the Sahara, we will build a socialist secular nation with a population of 1bn people where power is devolved to the federating units

[3] Our nation will have a gross domestic product of about $30trn putting it in sharp competition with China, India, the US and a United States of Europe

[4] This economic giant of a nation 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] This colossus of a nation will have an economy that accounts for about 20% of global industrial output

[7] At the very minimum, this nation will account for about 25% of global agricultural output

[8] After merging with some of our neighbours, this nation will generate about 50% of the world’s solar power. Our desert solar farm will make the Pyramids of Egypt, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus, etc, look like child’s play

[9] We will build 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 10 years, we will host Festac in a 300,000 seater stadium and every 20 years, we will host the Fifa World Cup. This is a nation that will ultimately spearhead living on the moon!
