A man who lived on the banks of the Niger should not wash his hands with spittle. -- Chinua Achebe
The Niger Delta is an occupied territory. Citizens raise their hands in the creeks each time they see the military -- Nnimmo Bassey
Niger is not an isolated island of desperation. It lies within a sea of problems across Africa - particularly the 'forgotten emergencies' in poor countries or regions with little strategic or material appeal. -- Desmond Tutu
None of this is to deny that the Niger Delta has made mistakes. It has, and a good number at that. But then, mistakes are made to make wiser and therefore help in better decision making. -- Emi Iyalla
If you're able to grow up in Nigeria and go through certain things, you're able to tackle anything around the world because you're able to live wherever, if you can survive in a city like Lagos or Warri or Niger Delta, as far as I'm concerned. -- Nneka
I think more of the little kids from a school in a little village in Niger who get teaching two hours a day, sharing one chair for three of them, and who are very keen to get an education. I have them in my mind all the time. Because I think they need even more help than the people in Athens. -- Christine Lagarde
