I'm not just a feminist - I'm a feminist plus.

As soon as I finish a book, I sell the paperback rights to different publishers and that's where I recoup my money.

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.

Men blackmailing you as a woman leads you to trivialise sex and say 'it's not important, what is important is myself as a person, no one owns me because of sex.'

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