Kayode Fayemi Quotations

Looting from the people is not a new thing; we are used to that. But for people who claim to be representatives of their own people to commit this bare-faced robbery is shameful. Where is the rule of law?

If I put on my academic hat, I would have nothing to tell you to explain this. The only thing keeping people going is hope and optimism about the future that is unknown. The hope is the evidence of things not seen. I think that is the only way to explain optimism, because you can't base it on any analysis of our current condition.

Even the incurable optimists, as some of us are, are deeply worried. Six years down the line in the attempt to build democracy this is what we get: violence in the land, and a government in breach. The only thing happening is politics. It is motion without movement.

At the end of the day, it is all politics. Everything else is just pretext.
