I like the idea of readers feeling a familiarity, whether its with Africa or childhood.

Every human being has a bit of gangster in him.

I, Binyavanga Wainaina, quite honestly swear I have known I am a homosexual since I was five.

I’m extremely optimistic about rapid transformation and change of things in Africa in general.

There is no country in the world with the diversity, confidence and talent and black pride like Nigeria.

Africa is to be pitied, worshipped or dominated

All people have dignity. Theres nobody who was born without a soul and a spirit.
