Everyone has one. A list of things they'll do in a heartbeat if they won the million dollar lottery.
It's a selfish list. It's not the what-i-would-do-to-change-the-world-if-i-had-a-million-dollars list. That's another list entirely and I have one of those. This is a purely avaricious list. It's the what-indulgent-impracticable-and-unneccessary-thing-would-i-do-if-i-had-a-million-dollars list. It's just that I'll need much more than 10 million.
So, here goes my list:
1. I would record and distribute a song written by Dianne Warren
2. I would buy that bad-ass Ducati
3. I would buy a sustainable farm in a genteel country with a helicopter for my city-farm commute
4. I would buy a significant stake in a media empire. I wouldn't want to own it; just control it
5.I would go on a shopping spree that will make Paris Hilton jealous
6. I would finally take that Europe yacht tour and that American road trip.
Now, seeing that I really don't have much more to add to the selfish list, let me present my what-i-would-do-to-change-the-world-list.
1. Endow a foundation solely focused on developing and implementing strategies for Teacher Training and Supply in Nigeria
2. Endow a foundation solely focused on developing, empowering, sponsoring and sustaining Politicians, Technocrats and Political Parties with values, ideas and clear agenda
3. Endow a foundation solely focused on helping the 'forgotten' - those people that are left for dead on bridges and street corners
4. Endow a foundation solely focused on promoting and distributing the best, most creative, values based media content there is
5. Endow a foundation solely focused on creative social enterprise
6. Endow a foundation solely dedicated to cultural & religious understanding, inter-tribal marriage and inter-tribal/faith dialogue
7. Endow a foundation solely dedicated to infrastructural development and support in Nigerian States

LOL @ number 4: ..." just control it"
I so agree with number 7 on your change the world section.
Interesting list...I'm already thinking up my list
May your wishlist come true! Humanity will be better off for it. Started reading your book NoBullshit. Am still amazed such amazing piece of literature can be available for free download.
Dont stop blogging please.
