Quotes by Leye Adenle (?)

“You really don't get it, do you? All of us worked hard for this. We trained hard, we drilled hard and we studied hard. We cut our teeth in the field. But you: someone made a call, and now you're here living out a police-and-thief fantasy. This is not a game. People lose their lives in this job. Those men going to Kogi to look for Adams - if he has been kidnapped, some of them might not come back. Do you understand? This is not a game, so stop trying to impress anyone. You're just exposing your ignorance.”
― Leye Adenle, Cell One

“I didn't know the man; the evidence was that he was a piece of shit, but he was a human being undergoing torture live on air against the rising threat of drowning.”

“Stop talking unless someone asks for your opinion. The problem with people like you is that You think you're better than locals because you studied abroad. Look, we're not stupid here. Lose that know-it-all attitude before you irritate everybody.”
