"I also dismiss critics who say that Rwanda, which still has a considerable percentage of people living in poverty, has the resources to sustain refugees from other parts of the continent."

"I dismiss reports that Rwanda will in return receive money from Europe for taking in the refugees."

"Rwanda has not taken any money to honour the commitment to host African refugees from Libya. It was our proposal and we are committed to it. We believe in African solutions to African problems. We don’t have to wait for someone from outside to help us."

"Rwanda made the humanitarian commitment to bring in the refugees as part of an African solution to an African problem."

"It will no longer be the case that residents receive monophase electricity. It is not good that a citizen wants to have an activity and then fail because lack of electricity."

"The Sonotube-Gahanga-Akagera bridge road is among nine roads to be completed before CHOGM."

"The Eastern province was not left out."

"Rwanda will by the end of this year be in full control of its airspace that is currently partially managed in Tanzania"

"Don’t let people project their ignorance about your abilities onto you. If you are going to do it, make absolutely sure that it is something you cannot live without and that it is authentic to who you are and not about personal vanity. And then knife fight your way through the bullshit and never give up."

"Don’t let others distract you. You know what you want; don’t waste time not doing it."

"You don't know why someone is in a certain circumstance and why they chose to be there. Sometimes it's just about having an experience and learning. I don't think you can begrudge someone that."

"....I was so happy about what I did for myself with the role I played. For me as a brand, I don’t run away from challenges and hard work."

"I can’t rule that out of my life anyway because that is also part of the build up for me. You can’t become a star in a day; I enjoy the process as it makes me more professional and diligent as this will further motivate me to always give my best at every point in time."

"Do not ever forget what you are made of, life would be hard but you have to find inner strength to go on. Everything you need to make it in life is in you and God’s hands; it’s been deposited by God. It’s okay to be you but know one thing that you are destined to be great and you will be great and nothing anybody will do or say that will drag you back and I will just whisper to her that, Omowunmi Dada just know that you are a star and you are going to change the world."

"If I don’t believe in the story, if I don’t like the script itself and don’t believe in what it is preaching, I will turn it down. This is not a shade to any producer or director but I know that day by day, we are getting better and telling better stories."

"I’m very passionate about the kind of scripts that I take on, the kind of stories that I’m part of. I turn down a lot of scripts but the truth is when you don’t know where you are going to, everywhere will look like the way, but when you know where you are going to, from the beginning of your career, you channel your path and you are very mindful about it. Sometimes, it looks like, ‘what are you doing’, but if you have a bigger picture in mind, you will definitely get there. Nothing good comes easy."

"The fact that I didn’t get to say anything throughout the film, knowing that my character is a catalyst to many happenstances, was quite challenging because if you are not present, you will miss out."

"Seeing so many veterans and acclaimed acts on the same set was surreal for me. It was a very amazing experience. My character didn’t have lines in the film which made it more challenging. I am glad I was able to have the presence to evoke the emotions expected of the bride."

"The Bride is a symbol of sensuality, excitement and lust, especially for the Horseman who though bound by tradition to leave earth for the land of his ancestors, is distracted by his sensual desires and consequently, brings doom on his people. The film is true to its roots and a must-watch for all."

"I pray that Nollywood gets better and that we have more international collaborations. I hope that actors become better paid and better appreciated. I also pray that we would have better scripts."

"I am hungry for more. I am not satisfied but I am fulfilled."

"There are different contents for different audiences. The techniques are also different. One cannot shoot a TV series and expect that when it goes to the cinema, it would be fantastic. It is advisable that from the moment one starts shooting a film, one should know exactly where one wants to take it to."

"The major things that drive me are passion, love for humanity and wanting to always put smiles on the faces of people. Love for God also keeps me going and the fact that I know that no matter what happens, God got my back. No matter what happens everything would end in joy. Also the big picture keeps me going and the quest to see things around me becoming better.""

".... I love Genevieve and how she has strategically positioned herself. She also lives a quiet and modest life. I love Mo Abudu, how she comes from the media and has changed the narrative for arts and film. How she is tenacious in pushing the African narrative to the world."

"I remember an experience. Sometime in 2008, when we were doing seasons of Wole Soyinka at Terra Culture and I played Iya Loja directed by Segun Adefila and the guy who was to play Eleshin Oba forgot his lines and it now looked liked it was me that forgot my lines . So, the onus was on me as Iya Loja to do something and I started thinking. An idea came into my head and I said Eleshin Oba, if you come back to the world, you must never do this (to ba tun aye wa, o o gbodo se ru e mo) and I continued. Somehow, that line just made him remember his own line and brought back....""

"Linda represents the strength of every woman. Linda represents every first born girl. Linda represents that woman that is ever willing to do anything to support her family and to make sure that her family gets the best in life or the better life than they have right now. Linda represents that woman that is very determined, dogged, very hard working, very resilient and goal oriented. In the true sense of it, Linda represents that girl looking for greener pastures and has just seen how crucial and how difficult the society is......."

"She is all-encompassing, very accommodating. She has this welcoming aura when you see her, you want to greet her and strike a conversation with her. She is a wonderful person and every time I get to act with her, I get to learn many things from her. She is so good, so versatile.""

"I am still the real Omowunmi dada, I don’t know how to form. I am just a simple girl doing what she loves to do and I am so grateful that the world accepts what I am doing and appreciate my crafts so fame has not really taken anything away, I am still me so it is a thing of honour. I really don’t see myself as a celebrity,...."

"I stand strongly for professionalism, quality, discipline, integrity and consistency because at every particular time; keep working as nobody wants to work with a lazy actor."

"There are lots of dream roles but the most important for me at the moment is getting an action role call in a Hollywood movie."

"The thing with music is that it reaches us emotionally in a way that words alone cannot. Music is a uniting force that people from all walks of life can have in common; some have even called it the strongest form of magic. It is for these reasons and many more that finding quality music events both great and small should be an occasion of joy. Because not only do you get to bask in beautiful sounds, but you also get to meet some beautiful people who share the love of music with you."

"“This journey called LIFE, learn to enjoy all your trials and victories.”Yemi Alade's quote"

"“In defeat, we learn more about ourselves and the people around us”"

"Criticism always come from people that haven’t even done half of what you have done while encouragement seems to always come from people that have done more than you have."

"Being self-made is a mindset and belief that you can turn everything you have into something better and greater for yourself.Sometimes, all that you have is nothing, so you have to change that by having a vision for what you want for yourself and turn that vision into your reality. The perfect definition of being self-made is being able to realize that you have everything you need right in your hands, no matter how small it may seem. You have to know that you already have the power to change the world and make it a better place for yourself, your family and for the people around you"

""Consistency …… you will get your results ….BELIEVE”"

"Keep working......the world is watching! Your Time will come. Prepare Yourself"

"Missing the message and losing the goal is a huge subtraction!"

"To achieve full perfection, you must keep working at your dream.”"

"“Growing up in Nigeria I have known malaria forever and experienced the disease countless times, so I understand how this disease robs so many children of their ability to go to school and why malaria is a major cause of school absenteeism. I have also lost many loved ones to malaria and that’s why I’m here – because we can end one of the biggest, preventable killer diseases of all time.”"

"The hope now is that fiscal and monetary policy are at least both retrenching, if policymakers truly want to wrestle inflation back down. Remember, this isn't about soaring (or collapsing) lumber prices anymore. It's about a labor market running so hot it's short of millions and millions of workers, which will make everything from childcare to elder care more inflationary in the long run"

"The oil and gas industry was decimated by the shale bubble bursting last decade, and that reticence plus labor and supply shortages are keeping it from more quickly adding to capacity now. The possibility of an external hit like a windfall tax, export ban, or other such political measures risk keeping potential suppliers on the sidelines"

"The possibility of an external hit like a windfall tax, export ban, or other such political measures risk keeping potential suppliers on the sidelines"

"If public officials want to keep their credibility, they need to acknowledge this fact. No one believes that this is a great economy, or is impressed by hearing dazzling stats about job creation. People want to be reassured that our leaders see the problem, understand how they caused it, and are genuinely trying to fix it"

"There are too many job openings, a problem compounded by too much "phantom demand" caused by all the stimulus, and also by the lack of normal immigrant workers for political and pandemic reasons."

"Keep your eyes on the prize, focus on your focus through all the distractions and disappointments that will come. And they will come. Stop wasting prayers on asking for an easy ride through life because that doesn’t exist. Stay focused on your goal and if you have to pause, pause."

"Drug abuse is a very big problem for us here in Nigeria. If you look at the numbers that are affected by drug abuse, it’s staggering!”"

"I’ve received a fair amount of recognition professionally this year and it has been a humbling and exciting thing for me. Thank you to the many listeners and watchers and readers out there who have always supported me, and to those who have come on board in the past year, thank you. I do not take your time or support for granted."

"“I used to be bothered about my small stature when I started acting. It was a big challenge for me to get roles at that time because some producers complained about my look. They used to tell me that I did not look the path. However, over the years, that has stopped. The latest job I got was because of my stature. I am now comfortable in my skin and it is my selling point. Thankfully, my self esteem was never affected.”"

"“My toughest role was playing Esther from Jenifa’s Diary. It was tough because the character is violent and I am not a violent person. I had to break bottles and attack people physically."
