"I take friendship very seriously." — Wole Soyinka

Each time I think I've created time for myself, along comes a throwback to disrupt my private space.

Power is domination, control, and therefore a very selective form of truth which is a lie.

I don't know any other way to live but to wake up every day armed with my convictions, not yielding them to the threat of danger and to the power and force of people who might despise me.

Politics, I believe, is a full-time occupation.
