Father Tico on the Murder of a Pious Wife

"Those who may feel that the problems of the oil producing areas are not in their backyard, and feel a safe distance from the oil communities, should be reminded that Nigeria is an entity within one environment; a decay in one part will ultimately affect the rest of the nation. The fate of the mineral producing communities should be a concern for all".

yeah!

Eyes Alike

Roy: if only you could see what I've seen with your eyes!

Roy: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.

Issey: I was there, and only 7 years old. When I close my eyes, I still see things no one should ever experience: a bright red light, the black cloud soon after, people running in every direction trying desperately to escape — I remember it all.

Issey: I tried never to be defined by my past.
