"I was very sad when I saw that the federal government was handing over the keys of houses to judges, and I asked myself, 'Under what law are we operating?' Because it's discriminatory and illegal." — Femi Falana
’I have seen ‘Olodo Uprising’ in a lot of ways, but the greatest we've experienced in this country is Professor Yemi Osinbajo agreeing to be Vice President to the late Muhammadu Buhari” —Journalist Edafe.
