“There’s no investment on youths and young people . God has blessed us with everything we can give to anybody.
We have oil, gas, gold and diamond. We have beans, rice, cocoa,cassava, everything you need.
“Nigeria can be a major world power if it has the right leaders. The worst people are the leaders of this country since independence to now. And that is why they come back two thousand miles
