20 Positive Quotes by Nigerians

A sweetheart read through my poems and quotes, and pointed out I do not promote quotes by Nigerians. "O-M-G! You are right!" I suddenly realized. So he offered to help with these quotes. :)

20 Positive Quotes by Nigerians

I love to read quotations. I’ll admit that I have a rather funny habit of keeping long lists of my favorites in my diary. I can't explain how few number of words keep my heart on.

So when Dr. Dee sent me these quotes, I was so happy. They speak of living with positivity and inspiration, which is what this blog centers upon.

People like you are unknowing transformers of things, protected by your own fairy-tale, by love."

Credits to my friend, Dr. Dee. You can find him on Twitter @Diok1. He strongly believes in Nigeria and Nigerians.

I couldn't agree more when he said; "I like to see Nigerians being celebrated. It will be nice if Nigerians and people from all over the world can read and apply our quotes too."

Have you any favorite quote by a Nigerian (or your very own quote)? It will be cool to have you share some in the comment box too. :D
