When you start a political party, you are creating space for yourself. So many people were shocked when they realized that I was serious and had no interest in occupying any political position, so they started to fall out one by one.

It's the place to begin, always -- to return to home, literally.

One, a mass movement from within, which, as you know, is constantly being put down brutally but which, again, regroups and moves forward as is happening right now as we are speaking.

You accept whoever you are interacting with, directly, or indirectly.

It is the human potentials that interest me. I travel and everywhere I go I am amazed at the presence of Nigerians. The intelligence, integrity, productivity, initiative.

I tend to work best as a one-man Task Force, including even the roles of messenger, coffee maker and office cleaner.

The idea of having to make constant reference to politics is anathema to my calling as a writer.
