“Traditionally, education was restricted to Muslim women, so If those housewives had any children to nurture, guess how their futures had been determined? The issue became more complicated when they had set a seal upon their hearings! The illiterate and ear sealed women, only heard what their husbands had injected deep into them, but today their literate and fully veiled girls do not hear well in the classroom, but they clearly hear the under veil wireless voice during the exams.”

“I had no control over where I went, who I spoke to or could speak with. I was veiled, unable to even look someone in the eye if they were allowed to speak with me. I didn't get to choose what I ate, when I left my chambers, or who was allowed to even touch me. But he was the first thing I'd ever truly chosen for myself.”

“As Africans our leaders failed us and they keep on failing us daily, by trying to keep us poor, uneducated, unskilled, slaves, undeveloped. We are failing ourselves on how we behave, think and how we talk. We are failing ourselves by undermining each other, humiliating one another. Killing each other. Committing crime, misbehaving, and breaking the law . Making fun of each other’s suffering, problems, living and lifestyles. Our enemy is poverty, crime, unemployment, and inequality . We should be ashamed of ourselves for thinking that the people we are hurting and committing crime to deserve it.”

“Choose to fix your heart and mind before attempting to fix the world. Many of us are broken, yet we seek to correct others and improve our city, town, country, or the world. Focus on fixing yourself first. If your mind and heart are in the wrong place or filled with negativity, only bad things will result, leading to destruction rather than creation. Conversely, if your mind and heart are in a good place, only good things will come from you, leading to building rather than destroying.”
