My son even if you want to fall, at least fall where your bones can be gathered

It is not quite true to say that I am not an advocate of writing in African languages. What I think is, one has to think about what is practicable.

I grew up recognizing that there was nobody to give me any advice and that you do your best and if it's not good enough, someday you will come to terms with that.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.

In my definition I am a protest writer, with restraint.

A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.

People go to Africa and confirm what they already have in their heads and so they fail to see what is there in front of them.
