“Content is not mere facts, drummed into tender little minds under the relentless pounding of rote learning. Content--even the date of the Quebec Act, Confederation, or the Battle of Vimy Ridge, or the name of the first prime minister-- is cultural capital, a basic requirement of life that every Canadian needs to comprehend the daily newspaper, to watch the TV news or a documentary, or to argue about politics and cast a reasonably informed vote. In an increasingly complex and immediate world, cultural capital must also include some knowledge of Europe, Africa, and Asia, too. Without some factual basis, some understanding of why Afghanis, Bosnians, or Congolese act as they do, Canadians will never make sense of what is happening around them. A knowledge of fact and an understanding of trends form the critical elements of our society's public discourse, and if Canadians do not have cultural capital in common, the fragmentation of our society is inevitable.”

“He always crosses her mind in the oddest moments of her life A dream of him is good enough for her In a simple dream she saw his face and heard his voice At this moment it's clear All the feelings for him are very much real and alive If only he knew If only he was hers If only he felt the same She has no idea If only there were together Emotions like these weren't made to be unrequited”

“As Africans, we need to support each other, but we cannot support each other in doing wrong or bad things. We cannot support each other in committing crimes and breaking the law. We need to support each other in doing what is right. We should support each other's businesses, talents, skills, investments, and ideas. We should also offer each other moral support”

“People who judge you will usually never support you. They never put their money where their mouth is. They just like seeing you being miserable. They want you to feel bad which makes them feel good about themselves. Especially if you do something they can never try or are afraid to pull off. When you have something, they can never acquire. They can just wish and dream about it.”

“To lovers out there... It is so sad that people would stage drama in their relationships. They would start a fight for no reason. So, they can be relevant on social media. They want to look the same as other couples who are having bad times in relationships. People who are going through a lot, suffering and being abused in relationships. Being a victim pays off these days and it gives you all the attention, exposure, platform, and sympathy in the world. So many people are sad fishing to gain relevancy, boost or start their career, get publicity, promote their work or themselves, get money for reactions or engagement, or get revenge.”

“To lovers out there …. Life has proven that if you want to be good at something, you must practice. You must train yourself to do what you want to do. Most of the time, you struggle, and you don’t get it right, but if you keep on practicing, eventually, you get it right. This is the problem with a lot of marriages or relationships. People have been single forever. Not only are they single, but they stay alone and forever distancing themselves from other people. They never had partners, and some don’t even have friends. They had never tried living with someone. They don’t know how to please their partners. How to put their partner’s needs first. How to sacrifice for someone, how to become selfless or supportive. How to be humble, submissive, romantic. How to communicate or apologize. How to give pleasure or how to care. Sometimes they marry at a late age when their bodies don’t allow certain things. Certain activities. Certain talks. They don’t have the energy or excitement. The body is no longer fresh. They think of themselves as perfect because they have preserved themselves, but that makes their marriage and relationship fail because they have never practiced. They become difficult to deal with in a relationship or marriage because of their theory about love and most of their thinking is unrealistic or practical.”
