"Great is your faithfulness oh Lord!! My Redeemer, my protector, my sustainer thank you for how far you've brought me and my home, Glory to God almighty!!!"

"I was not excited, because I came here to set a pv that is what is on my mind. But I still thank God because this is my first time coming to an international competition like this. For making it to be fifth I know next year or any world championship later, I'm going to work hard. So I'm going to better my time and I'm going to work better than this..."

"For me, I was just tired of being on the sidelines of seeing plastic. I really jumped in, off a cliff without a parachute. I was building it as I was falling down but isn't that how great things are done? So act for nature."

"We decided what more can we do instead of just sitting in the sidelines and complaining. Essentially, companies have to pay to dispose the waste, so we solved their problem."

"Plastic waste is not just a Kenya problem, but it's a worldwide problem."

"I feel so proud knowing I am building something useful out of waste."

"It is absurd that we still have this problem of providing decent shelter – a basic human need,plastic is a material that is misused and misunderstood. the potential is enormous, but its after life can be disastrous."

"What if we could turn this plastic waste into something useful?"

"I was tired of being on the sidelines."

"Plastic waste is everywhere and it’s not going anywhere. The question is what we do with it. What you see as waste, I see as the foundation for something greater."

"I promise to discharge my duty diligently and not to let our youth folks down."

"I also want to express my gratitude to our indefatigable governor for the confidence he reposed in me to serve as one of his cabinet members."

"I return all glory and adoration to Almighty God, I pray for His guidance in actualising the Kwara of our dream."

"I was inaugurated as the Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development by His Excellency, @RealAARahman on Friday."

"Many young people have an aptitude for business, they have the talent, skills, ideas, and brilliance – all ingredients to build a successful business. They simply do not have the funding or the degree"

"I think the three-month window is a reasonable compromise that supports both administrative efficiency and the couple’s need for preparation"

"The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has to conduct research on the validity of the marriage. This period allows sufficient time for any necessary background checks and verifications to take place, ensuring the integrity of the marriage process"

"This budget stands as a testament to our government’s profound commitment to fostering the well-being and future prospects of the Namibian youth. By strategically allocating funds, the budget addresses critical areas directly impacting young individuals, reflecting a genuine concern for their welfare"

"The principles of GYRB transform financial planning, ensuring that allocations consider the unique needs of women and young people. This means that we look at every line of our budget through a lens that considers the diverse needs of different genders, but most importantly, those of young people"

"The DBN has provided crucial financial support to young entrepreneurs looking to start their own businesses. Additionally, the government has also introduced various training programmes and mentorship initiatives to help SMEs grow and succeed in a competitive market"

"But the potential of 5G extends beyond just sports. We're looking at education, health, and mining. We have oil and gas as a new industry because we recently discovered oil"

"Emma Theofelus on E government"

"E-government requires citizens’ trust. My takeaway is that we (first) need to win the citizens’ trust if we are going to successfully implement e-e-government programmes."

"But of course, conditions vary depending on whether we’re talking about 3G or 4G. At 4G, we're at about 79%. But with 5G coming into the picture, every single network tower needs to be upgraded"

"We were the first country in Southern Africa to launch 3G and 4G. We were on track to be the first country in Africa to launch 5G, but because of COVID-19, and because of the conspiracy theories around 5G, that was put on the back burner for a little bit"

"This year’s summit must be a high-level event where we reach a consensus on key issues"

"We know that ICT will be the cornerstone of tomorrow’s society. Therefore, it is the tool through which we can bridge gaps, create opportunities and inspire a new generation filled with hope and optimism"

"This assembly represents a unique opportunity to chart a collective course for the future of information and communication technology (ICT) in Namibia"

"The elected leadership must be protected. There are internal structures and the party's constitution that must be utilised rather than resorting to killings."

"All I do is according to the rules, that has helped me a lot to gain confidence and be able to command the council. We emphasise the importance of respect among each other and we advance democracy."

"What we get from the community is that people want the land to farm and the relationship with farmers gets worse each day."

"It's scary, but that is the nature of politics. The history of the organisation motivates us. I believe the ANC has a future and we must fight against the scourge of killings to advance democracy."

"Our municipalities have enough land for human settlement, however, without proper water and sanitation the government cannot build houses there. We understand that we can not do it all overnight but we have made progress in that regard."

"The bullying issue and gangsterism are also our issues, I have worked with the provincial government to address and intervene in those cases,”"

"We will not be intimidated by such incidents because it means there will be no leaders in future as those who kill will have it their way, which compromises democracy."

"We ought to stand up and challenge the explicit and implicit biases (which may skip the mind of those in the chair) against women embedded in tax policies and to demonstrate the urgency of moving to more just alternatives which fulfil women’s rights."

"As the fountain of honour, I am by right allowed to please and displease as I wish- picks two billion and gives the tax man as thanksgiving for doing a job they are sufficiently paid to do"

"This tax amendment is a monstrosity and there is only one thing to do with it, scrap it, kill it, drive a stake through its heart, buy it, and hope it never rises again to terrorise the people."

"Women today face many threats in this country, but among the most insidiously pervasive are the human rights deprivations and disparities which arise from increasingly regressive taxation, let alone the deep cut in the chain of access to public services."

"For several months, Rugby Australia has been in possession of a transgender participation guideline developed by World Rugby in consultation with developmental biologists, medical experts and sport scientists. The World Rugby Guideline runs to 38 pages. It has a reference list of 45 scientific reports. It finds that it is neither safe nor fair for transgender players who are biologically male to play in women's rugby, demonstrating with significant rigour that a situation where a male player tackles a female creates "a minimum of 20 to 30 per cent greater risk for those female players". Rugby Australia is yet to respond to this document or release it publicly. On Thursday, Rugby Australia released its own trans inclusion guidelines. It contains no references to scientific reports and doesn't mention the World Rugby findings of significantly increased head and neck injury risk to female players. It lays out a procedure to allow biological males identifying as women to play women's rugby."

"So many women have contacted me with concerns about this issue (of trans activist claims on female sport) but they are worried that if they speak publicly, or even internally, they might face consequences at their club or at their work. How do Australians know that they are able to speak freely about women's rights. The idea that someone could lose their job or be banned from the sport they love for acknowledging that [biological] sex exists should be alarming to every fair-minded Australian."

"“And there’s so much more to the region. There’s so much history, so much culture, so many people doing incredible things in different industries. It’s nice to see those aspects being showcased now, in magazines, in TV, in film, in music. To see that actually there’s a different side to the region, which has always been there. It just hasn’t really been given the platform.”"

"I can only hope that at some point there will be a positive change and I will get to cover that as well."

"[Introducing her "Save Women's Sport Bill"] Women’s sport exists to provide separate competition for females, in acknowledgement that males have numerous physical advantages over females in the sporting arena. When the bill comes to a vote, Parliamentarians will have a simple question to answer: Do you agree that women and girls have the right to play single-sex sport?"

"This decision, however, only further highlights the dangerous absurdity of Rugby Australia, Sport Australia, the AFL and other major sports in adopting the opposite position that 'inclusiveness' is more important than women’s safety. [...] If it is not safe or fair for a professional female rugby player to have to play against biological males, then it isn’t safe or fair for Australian women playing at their local club either."

"Being summoned by a quasi-judicial body to appear and explain why I say that males shouldn't be in female change rooms or in female sporting competitions is an indictment on the state of free speech in this country. [...] It is yet another example of the assault on truth and the assault on the very meaning of the word 'woman' by activists who are determined to remove every sex-based right that women around the world have, and allow anyone who identifies as a woman into women's sports and women's spaces. I will not be silenced."

"[H]is working-class background became embroiled in a circular logic with his misogyny, where [[Russell Brand|[Russell] Brand]]'s sexism was condescendingly validated by his class credentials and vice versa. Brand can't help speaking about women that way, that's just what someone with his background is like, people seemed to shrug – neglecting to recognise that this is not a condition of working-class people. In this way, he was allowed to be openly misogynistic for years, with anyone who objected to his presence dismissed as stuffy, classist or incapable of humour."

"It is disturbing to imagine a figure of apparent dignity and autonomy, one who achieved such mastery in her field, as weak enough to indulge this sort of thinking. This sort of self-pity, this admission of dependence – not just on a man, but a man capable of abusing children and blaming it on them."

"It is, sadly, not unheard of for the mother of an abuse victim to side with a romantic partner who is the child’s abuser. Sometimes this expresses itself as blanket denial even in the face of clear evidence, sometimes it is a grim choice born of financial dependence on the abuser, and sometimes it is a consequence of being another victim of the abuser's violence. What is striking, and frankly repellent, about Munro's decision to stand by Fremlin is how lucid it appears to have been, and without any material necessity driving it. Rather it seems to have been a choice made for reasons that are sentimental in a ghastly sense – because she couldn't bear to be alone, to leave this man she loved."
