Speaking first about Nigeria, and how he feels about the current state of the nation Norbert Young said:

NORBERT YOUNG: If there is no hope then there is no reason to be alive. I have hope and I will never give up on Nigeria. Nigeria is only 63 years old as a nation and for the first six years of nationhood, Nigeria had its first coup and many were killed. In the seventh year of our nationhood, we went into war and that lasted for three years — we are still trying to get out of the trauma of that war. Nigeria has not been a fortunate country in terms of nationhood. Many people do not believe in Project Nigeria, they steal because they think Nigeria will scatter so that they will have enough money to feather their nest.

We are not giving ourselves a chance to grow, to be a nation. Those who are in the position of power have looted our resources because they did not believe Nigeria would survive as a nation, but Nigeria has endured. Many things will go wrong, we really do not need to reinvent the wheel but we must give ourselves the chance to grow and to learn. For 23 years now we have had steady democracy and we are making progress, very painfully slow but we are making progress and we are going to get there. I have hope in Nigeria. Things are really rough now but Nigerians are tougher than this situation. Just let the people who are in the position of leadership know exactly what they are doing, let them also know that people are really suffering. But I have hope.

Speaking on how he's been able to stay faithful to his wife for over two decades of marriage, Norbert cited 'discipline' as the only reason saying:

NORBERT YOUNG: In every profession, if you are not a disciplined person, you will fall easily into temptations. There is temptation everywhere but your commitment to your job, to your marriage, and to your partner will help you to see it through. You will be exposed to a lot of people in your everyday life but if you are committed to your relationship, then you will know how to handle yourself. I do not see it as a big deal.
