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.

We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen.

High expectations are the key to everything.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Here class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes which they are tested on. What is missing it seems to me is the use of knowledge the practical training.

You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple but nourishing to the imagination.

As an actor I think sometimes producers need a little bit of encouragement to see you in a particular role they may not have as much imagination as you would expect.

The script was just the best I'd read in a long time and I love the humor which I wasn't expecting and I like the fact that my six year old daughter can see the show without being you know protected from it.

We're starting to push the envelope in terms of the expectations and you can also have your own style personality and sense of humor because now we're allowed to.

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope.
