On realizing the value of love, I'll tell you a little story.
There was once a country in the middle of nowhere.
The people prayed to the heavens for a million years about a better life.
The heavens whispered, "what would you have me do for you?"
The people responded "we want to feed our children and send them to school, wouldn't money do?"
The heavens said "Take this milky water, you can exchange it anytime for money. And here's love so you'll be just"
"Love?... What would we do with that? It sounds like a burden, I think only the first one will do"
"OK then, go on with your milky water. Like I said, you can give it anytime in exchange for money"
..... And so they took their milky water abroad every year to refine.
But their children were never fed nor schooled. They died every year in gross instead.
Little did they know, to build the land they first have to love it.
An analogy of Nigeria, crude oil and love
