COUNTRY FIRST V.

"The worth of a state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it."- John Stuart Mill 1806-73.

I have unwavering confidence that someday this nation shall overcome the dichotomy of creed and clan and congregate at the parlour of brotherhood where parlous loyalty to tribe and religion will diminish.

I have doubtless confidence that this union will someday become a veritable reference of inter-tribal harmony and shall someday pave the highway to the long sought inter-religious global family.

My unyielding confidence in the strength of this union devolves on the faith that this regime shall employ commensurate verve in etching a new national orientation paradigm as it does our foreign policy. We must rebuild confidence and trust at home as we do overseas.

As our 55th Anniversary approaches, we must deepen all that epitomizes our ability to soar. We must repudiate sleaze and corruption, and redefine our moral margins. We must remove from strict partisanship and walk the talk of patriotism. We must re-ignite our faith in the GREEN WHITE GREEN and pull down all walls of nepotism and regional prejudice. And we must arise as compatriots knowing that though tongues and tribes differ in brotherhood, we stand.

Countrymen and women, if and when leadership teaches us to think and put COUNTRY FIRST, our union shall foster, we shall discover how fleeting our differences are. And then shall the Eagle soar yet again.

God Bless Nigeria.
