“I am a black man inside and outside and you are white men on the outsi...” — Olusegun Obasanjo Quote

I am a black man inside and outside and you are white men on the outside, but inside, you are Africans like me.

Let me make a solemn pledge before all of you, before the whole world and before God, that I will devote all my energy and all I possess in my power to serve the people of Nigeria and humanity.

The givers of most of the corruption in Africa are from outside Africa.

Nigeria has no business with poverty. With our human and material resources, we shall strive to eradicate poverty from our country.

We regard America and Europe as old friends. We keep old friends, but we make new friends in Japan, India, and China.

There's an African proverb that I always quote as I think it's incredible which is, 'if the children are not initiated into the village, then they'll burn it down just to feel its warmth.'

I'd like to state that Spike Lee is not saying that African American culture is just for black people alone to enjoy and cherish. Culture is for everybody.

Groups like the NAACP, The Anti-Defamation League, NOW and GLAAD, will respond to derisive language directed at their constituents. The price paid by those who cavalierly chose to verbally disrespect the dignity of African Americans, Jews, women and homosexuals is steep.

We still have to create things for African American women. Just like Tyler Perry is doing it, we can't wait for things to happen; you have to go and make and create roles and go to people.
