Is there a Nigerian Dream? Join us as we explore this provocative question with the insightful Reverend Prosper Isiche and developmental economist Victor Alikor. These esteemed guests bring unique perspectives from their work in youth development, leadership, and economic growth. We question the existence of a unified national vision and examine what it would take to foster such a collective dream for Nigeria's diverse population. Reverend Prosper and Victor share their experiences and insights, challenging us to think about the transformative power of a shared national aspiration.

Leadership and integrity are at the heart of our discussions on Nigeria's economic and social development. Reflecting on the president's Independence Day speech, we uncover the pressing issues of corruption, poverty, and infrastructural inadequacies. By drawing comparisons with South Korea's development journey, we highlight the crucial role of effective leadership in setting an example for the nation and inspiring hope for a brighter future. Reverend Prosper and Victor emphasize the need for a national reorientation to tackle socio-economic challenges and instill a renewed sense of purpose among Nigerians.

We turn our focus to Nigeria's youth, exploring the potential demographic dividends of a rapidly growing population. Reverend Prosper and Victor discuss strategies for harnessing this demographic advantage to drive economic growth, much like the successes seen in the US, China, and India. By engaging with the Sustainable Development Goals and fostering an investment-friendly environment, we envision a future where young Nigerians take ownership of their country's development. Our conversation underscores the urgency of nurturing this youthful population to navigate Nigeria's challenges and collectively work towards prosperity.
