I Am Not African Because I Was Born In Africa But Because Africa Was Born In Me.

Revolutions Are Brought About By Men, By Men Who Think As Men Of Action And Act As Men Of Thought.

The Result Of Neo-colonialism Is That Foreign Capital Is Used For The Exploitation Rather Than For The Development Of The Less Developed Parts Of The World. Investment Under Neo-colonialism Increases Rather Than Decreases The Gap Between The Rich And Poor Countries Of The World.

Socialism Is Not Spontaneous. It Does Not Arise Of Itself. It Has Abiding Principles According To Which The Major Means Of Production And Distribution Ought To Be Socialised If Exploitation Of The Many By The Few Is To Be Prevented; If, That Is To Say, Egalitarianism In The Economy Is To Be Protected.

I Believe Strongly And Sincerely That With The Deep-rooted Wisdom And Dignity, The Innate Respect For Human Lives, The Intense Humanity That Is Our Heritage, The African Race, United Under One Federal Government, Will Emerge Not As Just Another World Bloc To Flaunt Its Wealth And Strength, But As A Great Power Whose Greatness Is Indestructible Because It Is Built Not On Fear, Envy And Suspicion, Nor Won At The Expense Of Others, But Founded On Hope, Trust, Friendship And Directed To The Good Of All Mankind.
