“There is good and bad – they’re mirrors, reflecting each other – ying, yang, and they always fight for dominance over the other…maintaining that balance is the very fiber of the universe…THAT”S what Christians are always talking about”. – 14:29
“Most times, if a job is stressing me too much – I can’t kill myself please – I will give you what I can, I will do my best but if that’s not enough, I’ll leave that environment and go look for a better one, because there will always be good places…I will chase and find good places, because I know my worth”. – 29:01
“My church has one standard – you must be excellent in everything. There’s no ‘pressure’ to excel because you are groomed to excel through an indoctrination that’s very seamless so it’s not even seen as something to feel pressure about”. – 37:20
“I don’t know how Christianity was presented to us (in Nigeria) but most times, the love is missing – it’s very different to the life Jesus lived and showed us”. – 48:01
