A hungry man is an angry one.

Being a woman writer, I would be deceiving myself if I said I write completely through the eye of a man. There's nothing bad in it, but that does not make me a feminist writer. I hate that name. The tag is from the Western world - like we are called the Third World.

Few things are as bad as a guilty conscience.

I like to be called a Nigerian rather than somebody from the Third World or the developing or whatever.

Black women all over the world should re-unite and re-examine the way history has portrayed us.

I was a threat to a lot of women and to a lot of men. The women cannot forgive me if I remain single and also have a family. But I have a family as well and am raising them. A lot of women only stay in their marriages because of the children so seeing me on my own annoys them.

I work toward the liberation of women, but I'm not feminist. I'm just a woman.
