DREAMS DO COME TRUE

By Jide Akintude.

In my early teens in the early 1980s, growing up in Idoani, a remote village in Ondo State, I decided that I was going to study at the University of Lagos, the best and the most cosmopolitan Nigerian university. From where I was coming from, that was a very tall dream.

But that was what I wanted and I was unfazed. I wanted, and dreamt of, the best. Period.

I realised the dream. My only slight disappointment later was that I didn't know about Harvard University at the time I was dreaming about where I would acquire my higher education. If I knew about Harvard then, it was what I would have wanted and worked towards.

I simply like the best things, people and values. That is the reason I am crazy about Prof. Kingsley Moghalu. Everybody knows that he is the best aspirant to the Office of the Nigerian President in 2019.

Dreams do come true. People and nations do realise their wishes.

There is nothing of value that we can have and keep without first desiring, wishing or dreaming of it. I am sure that you have realised a lot of the dreams you had. So it is completely in order to dream. When you back your dream with the required actions, you will realise it. That is how, and why, you have come this far.
