These ideas stretch the imagination and stretch the human spirit to what is really possible to help each other, to eliminate poverty, and leave ourselves with something better to worry about.

As much as I personally love Nigeria, and as much as I've committed of my own life to making life better for all Nigerians, I respectfully request that Nigerians not forget that our society is far from alone in the world in enduring poverty and hard times -- and Nigeria's future now holds considerably more hope and promise than does that of many of our brothers and sisters in very, very desperate locations of our world.

In the push to Nigerian development, I am certain that we will succeed, and that our dear country will fulfil her destiny as a strong, prosperous, and wealthy and united nation. To my view, that is inevitable! That is, however, not a given for many other people in this world. I am hopeful that, as Nigeria's fortunes increase and Nigerians become more prosperous, Nigeria as a nation of compassionate citizens will remember those less fortunate and, as soon as possible, reach out to help them as much as many of us are now absolutely committed to helping the millions of Nigerians who still languish and suffer from poverty and hunger.

Jeffery Sachs did a great work and has considerably told the world the truth about poverty and prosperity in a strange world. Let us listen to his voice!
