Quotes by Dipo Faloyin  (?)

“Not everyone is allowed a complex identity. Throughout history, individuals and entire communities have been systematically stripped of their personhood and idiosyncrasies, often to make them easier to demean, denigrate and subjugate - and in some cases, eradicate. Being able to define yourself openly and fully is a privilege; it is a grace many take for granted.”
Dipo Faloyin, Africa Is Not a Country: Notes on a Bright Continent

“Being able to define yourself openly and fully is a privilege; it is a grace many take for granted.”
Dipo Faloyin

“Assume any mention of the actions of an ethnic group refers to the leadership of that group at that time and does not reflect the majority beliefs of the entire community.”
