My heart's desire is to be recognised in Nigeria.

I have stopped waiting on our leaders. We have been forced to fear the system. But unless we change our ways and the way we see each other, we won't move forward.

I hope that what I am today is of positive benefit to other people.

I don't want to be a big star. I just want to get my message across.

I am 100% there when I'm doing what I'm doing when I'm onstage and recording. I don't ever want to look back at any moment and say to myself that I felt uncomfortable with who I am.

I have my own way to stay focused. I work out every day. I exercise. I swim. I meditate. I breathe.

In Nigeria, if you say you're a singer, people say, 'So what? Everyone sings.' In Germany, my voice stood out more.

The cultural differences between Germany and Nigeria were extreme. The way they dress, the way they carry themselves, their religion. For two years I was overwhelmed.

What if I got hit by lightning while walking with an umbrella? Ban umbrellas! Fight the menace of lightning!

I was single long enough, and when I was, it wasn't about putting notches in the bedpost.

Thou fail to perceive mineself!

Waiting for inspiration is like standing at the airport waiting for a train.

A strategy delineates a territory in which a company seeks to be unique.

Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.

She says that beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most.

I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.

I am comforted by the assurance that there will be beautiful music in heaven, and for that I am most grateful.

For me I made it clear that I wanted to meet with both sides of the political spectrum.
