This is yet the most celebrated speech made by Steve Jobs. It was the 114th Commencement Address to graduating students of Stanford University on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories!

It was exactly seven years ago. I remember because I was pregnant. It was the first service of the year and the Man of God had asked that anyone who wanted the Lord to do something for them in particular should come forward speak their faith. Not usually given to such public displays I was surprised to see myself got up and made my way forward.

UPON gaining independence in 1960, Nigeria made the liberation and restoration of the dignity of Africa as the centerpiece of her foreign policy and played a leading role in the fight against the apartheid regime and others.

WHEN Chinua Achebe wrote his epic novel, THINGS FALL APART, in 1958 he probably only had at the back of his mind the general situation of the Ibo communities of his time. “Things” were not what he thought they should be. No, he did not consider the cultures of other communities in Nigeria.

I HAVE never for one moment believed that Nigerians have short memories. When they appear to be so, it is only by choice in order to suit their whims, and this means they know what they are doing.
