I have a very open line of communication with both my children.

There is only one home to the life of a river-mussel; there is only one home to the life of a tortoise; there is only one shell to the soul of man: there is only one world to the spirit of our race.

I think Nigerians got it wrong from independence as people became so conscious of the divisions because we wanted so much to satisfy the plurality of interests. I will say, we neglected the importance of real value, human value and the quality of potential in human beings and we contrived phrases like geographical spread, regional quota, etc and allowed mediocrity to reign. I think that is the problem that we are dealing with till today.

I went to the brink many times. A couple of times I thought "I'm gone, This is it. " But then you would just keep working. I think if you're close to the brink and just make sure that you work twice as hard and put twice as much effort into everything and the people around you and everything, you should come through.
This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Kids are shy and they often don't want to make eye contact or say "thank you. "
