Dramatic Quotes

Sometimes I think it is ... frustration with life as it is lived day to day that compels me to write such long letters to people who seldom reply in kind, if indeed they reply at all.

But paradoxically, it is a realization of the existence, that positive, that keeps many Nigerians and even foreign people going.
