[00:00:00]on stone.

[00:00:02]A nation rises like a tree from something buried, something unseen.

[00:00:14]What is built high must first be built low.

[00:00:21]I mean not in the word but in the human heart.

[00:00:30]We speak of systems of policies of power yet these are only voices.

[00:00:41]They voice what are people already believe.

[00:00:47]If integrity grows thinly in the mind, the grandest institution will tilt in the wind.

[00:00:58]If courage has gone shallow in the spirit, the strongest wall will no fear.

[00:01:08]Prosperity is not given.

[00:01:11]It grows from the soil of virtue, tended by ordinary hands in ordinary hours.

[00:01:22]Kindness in a market, truth on a lonely road, patience in disagreement.

[00:01:29]These are the soft bricks of a country.

[00:01:35]A nation then is not built.

[00:01:40]It is grown.

[00:01:42]It is grown from the inside out.

[00:01:46]From the low to the high.

[00:01:49]From the hidden to the unseen.

[00:01:55]By embibing these virtues, we realize the threatening revolution.

[00:02:05]By looking deeply at this virtue, we build the unshakable foundation.

[00:02:14]The unshakable foundation for the redemption of Africa, for the redemption of the African.

[00:02:29]So I want you to keep this in mind as we look at our case study.

[00:02:38]The wise one says it is popularly supposed that a greater prosperity for individuals or nations can only come through a political and social reconstruction.

[00:02:55]This cannot be true. Apart from the practice of the moral virtues in the individuals that comprise a nation.

[00:03:08]At the moment in Nigeria, we stand at a crossroads crossroads of history surrounded by blueprints for political reform, economic stimulus and social restructuring.

[00:03:28]The clamor for change is deafening, promising that a new system, a new law, a new leader will pave the road to national posterity.

[00:03:43]The prosperity that is the common good is more than dollars.

[00:03:51]See if the crisis in the middle belt of Nigeria is to be resolved, it is not a matter of the law alone.

[00:04:12]It must follow moral virtue.

[00:04:18]It must give itself to reason.

[00:04:26]If from the days of Gabriel Suswan as governor of Benway and Benway saw blood, it is not because the law is not sufficient enough to cage the headsmen who launch terrorism on innocent lives.

[00:04:53]It is a matter of the thinking of the people how they see things.

[00:05:02]In that case, the mind is the empire of the state where the crisis and the progress of the state are brewed.

[00:05:15]The mind is a refinery separating the characters of the state.

[00:05:22]In that case, it is the content of the mind that determines the development of states.

[00:05:32]That is why states that are serious about development spent billions reactivating their educational institutions in order to mentally strengthen the minds of their peoples.

[00:05:52]That is why Harvard University is tied to the advancement of the university is tied to the advancement of the United States.

[00:06:04]That's just an example.

[00:06:07]That is why advanced states create great institutions of learning because they understand that the mind is the empire of the state.

[00:06:21]If the fan, if the marauding fan believes that gun and force are the tools to achieve his aims and objective, it is the product of the mind of the fani.

[00:06:49]So the mind redeeming the mind is the threatening revolution.

[00:07:05]The lasting greatness of a nation is not forged first in the halls of legislature.

[00:07:13]It is forged in the conscience of its citizens.

[00:07:20]At the moment, you can imagine the future the present Nigerian state will build.

[00:07:31]You can determine that future by researching into the structures of its education system.

[00:07:42]The structures of the education system include the training of the teachers, the mindset of the teachers.

[00:07:55]If the teachers are imbued with the mindsets of corruption, laziness, it will influence the mindset of the peoples.

[00:08:10]The reason those who come to equity must come with clean hands.

[00:08:16]For nations to rise, the human spirit must rise.
