“They—the humans, that is—seem to think that what sets them apart from other animals is their ability to love, grieve, feel guilt, think abstractly, et cetera. They are misguided. What sets them apart is their talent for masochism. Therein lies their power. To take pleasure in pain, to derive strength from deprivation, is to be human.”

“Don't use your humanity to become a humanist. Use your humanity to become sensitive to the lives around you. To know that we are all connected. We are all brothers and sisters. Use your humanity to resist any label or group that divides humanity.”

“Every Religion says humanity can’t live, share, create and evolve meaningfully without their beliefs and creeds. I say it is a very big LIE. The foundation of the lie is religion saying humanity is nothing without their respective beliefs, doctrines, and creeds. This lie has disrupted the development of humans for so many years now, that is why humanity is yet to understand how powerful they are. We have tried developing religion; can we try developing HUMANITY? When we focus and what brings us together; Humanity and understand that we don’t have any problem with Hausa, Igbo, or Yoruba, then we see our diversity and differences become one of our greatest catalysts to growth. I ask again, can we still be humans? Your Humanity is enough and my humanity is enough. Let us embrace it to the fullest.”

“Do you know that judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are. This is something we all should watch out for. What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. It's like wearing a yellow tinted spectacle and looking at a white paper. You will definitely see yellow, and you are right. However, you are "rightly wrong". The problem is not what you are looking at, but your tinted spectacle. We all need to take off our spectacles, if you must wear one ....let it be plain. We need to see our humanity and how connected we are without all these limiting beliefs that create labels and divisions around us.”
