« If the whole of Africa is a hell for homosexuals, Nigeria is its ninth circle. There is the law, which threatens them with fourteen years in prison, there is the police, who chase them and extort money from them, there is a whole population that rejects them, with reluctance and dislike, watered with hatred and rumours by bishops and priests evangelical in the south, and in the north by Muslims who apply Sharia law. Not a day goes by without young people being murdered, lynched, not a day without a singer, an actor, a sportsman, terror in his voice, against being gay. »

« Since my father died more than thirty years ago, I've always kept a briquette in my pocket. It was neither a fetish nor a lucky charm. Just a few grams of memory, almost a habit. I was given back the one that the Victor kept who committed suicide, and there are now two of them. I forgot which one is, and I united them. I cannot say what they symbolize, but I feel like I have more choice, to be freer than ever. Still, I don't like the word "destiny" too much. It is only a target that is drawn after the fact at the spot where the arrow was posted. »
