 It is a very special pleasure to be here at this Gala event organized by Copy Foundation in aid of the work of State The Children Foundation in Nigeria. State The Children Foundation, as I've heard, is in just shy of two decades, is in 33 states of Nigeria and has touched the lives of close to 20 million children and their parents. The Copy Foundation, under the inspired leadership of Copy, has actively supported children, especially in the northeast of Nigeria and has also given general scholarships to disabled Nigerians for their university education. Mr. Femi Oteh-Rama first mentioned this event to me close to a year ago. I had asked him at the time to support the Northeast Children's Initiative, not for profit, chaired by Mr. Jimovia, who not only stared the Northeast Children's Fund, but has also committed the funds to providing world-class education to children who are caught in the Northeast conflict. He obliged, was extremely generous to that whole effort. Today, his own donation of five billion Naira to the State The Children Foundation for use in the northeast is probably one of the largest cash donations to a philanthropic cause in Nigeria today. I recommend him and I congratulate him. Events such as this, where we have a remarkable array of businessmen, politicians, captains of industry, top-rated professionals, icons of the arts and entertainment, permit me to ask a question that life has asked through the ages. It is a question, what will you be remembered for? What will you be remembered for? Perhaps I should help by noting what will not be remembered for. No one ever remembers the number of houses, paths or cars that anyone has, except, of course, relatives and friends who want to inherit something. Even if fate, even fate, will fade in due course. The likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Liko Dangoti and now Femi Oterola caught that revelation and pulled their resources to solve the huge problems of extreme poverty, healthcare for the poor, education for the poor across the world. Every day, millions of people all over the world receive immunization, emergency help, food and drugs, paid for by their foundations. And many will live. Many children will survive because Liko Dangoti, Bill and Melinda Gates and Femi Oterola put their resources to help people they do not know and who they probably will never meet. By their good works, they achieve something few will ever attain. That thing is called significance. Significance is neither wealth nor fame. It is the reward that history bestows on men and women who invest their wealth, their talents and even their lives to bring justice, freedom, life, livelihoods to millions of vulnerable, oppressed, the persecuted or the poor. These are individuals who, by their actual personal sacrifice and their commitment to altruism and good, affirm the highest values of mankind. It demonstrates that the misery and suffering of others diminishes our individual and collective humanity and they do all they can to end it. The reward of life, of the life of significance is that these men and women actually live forever because their stories and memories are embedded where they cannot be destroyed in the hearts of men generation after generation. The acts of kindness that she desires, the sacrifice that brings hope to the hopeless, the good that stands with the weak cannot be forgotten because they connect to the eternal God who is the meaning of compassion. So tonight as we commend the Copy Foundation and save the children, this event must also focus our minds on the tragically unfinished business of caring for the millions of vulnerable, the poor and the malnourished, especially here in our own country. In 2016, President Buhari proposed the largest social investment program of its type in Africa, budgeting 500 billion Naira close to about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Under the program, we employ 500,000 young men and women. We feed 9.3 million children every day. We give micro-credits to 2 million perpetrators and 1 million of the poorest of the poor receive conditional cash transfers. Yet we are far from where we ought to be. 1.7 million new job entrants come into the job market every year where 4 million people short of our target for school feeding even though we are feeding 9.3 million. Millions more require micro-credits. When we looked at our last estimates, we should be doing 15 million micro-credits to make the difference that we should make where 2 million. It's obvious that government cannot do it alone. So we don't need to be billionaires to start doing something. We certainly don't need to even be millionaires to start doing something. The likes of Kopi Young, a young woman, and several others like herself have started doing stuff even without the millions and the billions. And I think it is time for each and every one of us to decide that we really can make the difference and make our contribution to this cause of ensuring that the poor and the vulnerable are given a distant life and attain some dignity while they are alive. But Lee quoting what a friend before he died of a terminal illness said, he said, doing something for others and he really was talking about what you could do for others and what and why you should do it early. So he said, and I quote, he said, though none of us can go back and create a new beginning, all of us can start today to create a new ending. And I'm sure that that ending will be one that will give us all satisfaction and earn us all significance. Thank you very much. God bless you.
