I urge the Iraqi leadership for sake of its own people... to seize this opportunity and thereby begin to end the isolation and suffering of the Iraqi people.

To meet the expectations of the majority of our people and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

It is the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity and the responsibility of individuals to contribute.

Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.

Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed.

If a window of opportunity appears don't pull down the shade.

Historic changes and challenges. Breakthroughs in human knowledge and opportunity. And yet for vast numbers across the globe the daily realities have not altered.

The knowledge and understanding of the world which science gives us and the magnificent opportunity which it extends to us to control and use the world for the extension of our pleasure in it has never been greater than it now is.

Anything that gives us new knowledge gives us an opportunity to be more rational.

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
