## Quotes

* I will continue to tell my colleagues that the welfare of the staff has something to do with their output. If a staff is satisfied, he produces more. In Nigeria, you have seen people work hard for months, they are owed salaries, they are owed promotional arrears, they are not given what is due to them, that is not the best.
* If we get it right in education, we must have have gotten it right. Education should be properly funded and we want education to stand firm. If we have good education, there will be no unemployment, there will be no kidnapping, there will be no Boko Haram.
** Adaobi Obasi speaking on workers welfare
* I came in as Acting Vice-Chancellor and, by the grace of God, was elevated as substantive Vice-Chancellor. I would not be fair to myself if I say I have not encountered challenges. We are living in a man’s world, so, no matter how hard a woman tries to showcase herself in whatever position she occupies, it may seem as if she is not proving her mettle. I have had my ups and downs, but stood as the Rock of Gibraltar because the position I occupy is built on God.
** Adaobi Obasi speaking in an exclusive interview
* Am I not a professor? I earned a PhD but there are professors who did not earn a PhD. I am stepping on toes. I am a woman and this is the first time a woman will act as VC. I understand that some people are not happy. I was mile ahead of my colleagues in the interview. Is it my fault that I am sound and that I am appreciated?
** Speaking on her challenges faced as VC
* Convocation has not been held in IMSU for nine years but I graduated 54,000 students last year. Arrears and promotion have not been attended to since 2016. I changed all that. I am stepping on toes and this is understandable. Why didn’t they say that I am corrupt? Why did not they say that I have been helping myself with the university’s fund? I travel with my own money when it is for personal matters.
** Speaking on her challenges faced as VC
* The Governing Council should have advertised for the position of a substantive vice chancellor but they could not because of the court case. Eventually the Council advertised and we all applied. My appointment as acting vice chancellor started in October last year. If people are not happy they should go to court.
** Clarifying on her entry as the VC

## Quotes

* It is through enabling the private sector that it will be possible to achieve this level of reach in terms of both job creation and broad economic impact.
* Given that the education system globally is constantly changing, this requires inclusive learning, and agile leadership for swift responses to remote learning and a digital-first curriculum, both requiring the engagement of the private sector.
* As the global economy is becoming increasingly knowledge-based, today, education and skills are more important than ever in securing a country’s future because investments in education provide a catalyst for economic growth, job creation, and increased social mobility, especially when it comes to supporting youth in vulnerable communities.
* We need to focus on education. The future of any country is heavily reliant on the output of its education system and what youth have learned to bring to the workforce.
* The reality is, in today's global environment, no country will be able to achieve long-term economic growth and development whilst neglecting the climate crisis:
* Ultimately, upskilling is essential for young people to effectively contribute to addressing global challenges, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to drive innovation, create sustainable solutions, and make a positive impact in the world.
* Entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as access to technology, lie at the heart of public-private-youth partnerships, as this is a clear path to creating impactful progress, and brings creative and new ideas to the table. That’s how one can advance anything, be it on a small scale within a company or on a larger scale in terms of the economy.
* Gender equality and climate action are two pillars that have been adopted as cross-cutting priorities that will be mainstreamed across all Shabab Balad activities. This is a key priority for many of the rising entrepreneurs in the country and us.
* To recover, a key driver in our economy is the private sector. Enabling the private sector to grow and increase public-private partnerships in development projects, as well as creating a suitable environment for entrepreneurs and innovators to thrive and grow, is of high priority to the government, as this reflects positively on the economy.

## Quotes

* To place the two Indian epics on a par with Homer or Virgil is to ignore how the Indian poems have been adored and how they have moulded the character and faith of the people.

## Quotes

* From a young age I was fascinated with biology and health sciences, and originally wanted to study medicine. When funding for my studies became an issue, I decided to study a general BSc degree with Human Physiology as my major. I have never looked back and ended up working in clinical population-based studies, general epidemiology and public health with a specific focus on hypertension (high blood pressure) and cardiovascular disease. By choosing this direction of work I am not limited to helping just one patient at a time, but instead I am able to contribute towards treating entire populations at a given time.

## Quotes

* I think that if women are not political leaders here, it is because at a certain point women were relegated to the social domain and they were not encouraged to get involved in pure politics. (Je pense que si la femme n'est pas leader politique, ici, c'est qu'à un moment donné on a relégué les femmes au domaine social et qu'elles n'ont pas été encouragées à se lancer dans la politique pure. )
** "Delphine Tsanga: Ancien Ministre des Affaires sociales et auteur de deux romans" L'Afrique Écrite au Feminin (August, 1996)
* In each party you have a women's wing and a youth wing and these ancillary bodies prevent women from participating fully. They are no longer there except to dance, to entertain, to do social work; now they are encouraged to create non-governmental organizations, simply to get rid of women on the political level (Vous avez dans chaque parti une aile féminine et une aile de jeunes et ces organes annexes empêchent la participation des femmes à part entière. Elle ne sont plus là que pour danser, pour animer, pour faire du social; maintenant on les encourage à créer des organisations non-gouvernementales, tout simplement pour se débarrasser de la femme sur le plan politique)

## Women's Lives (Vies des Femmes) (1983)

* Work does not replace either life or the feelings that bind you to a man. (Le travail ne remplace ni la vie, ni les sentiments qui vous lient à un homme. p. 42 éd. CLE, 1983)
* No need to remind you, what a man can do, a woman can do and sometimes even better. (Nul besoin de le rappeler, ce qu’homme peut, femme peut et parfois même mieux. p. 49 éd. CLE, 1983)
* They say that love is blind, but with time lucidity comes. In general, the latter is very cruel. (On dit bien que l'amour est aveugle, mais avec le temps la lucidité survient. En général cette dernière est très cruelle. p. 78 éd. CLE, 1983)
# Once upon a Time

Once Upon A Time (1989) by Nadine Gordimer Once Upon a Time” follows many of the devices and elements of a fairy tale (hence the title, which is use of the ubiquitously in fairy tale) begins with a framing element,in which Nadine Gordimer herself is a character that is asked to write a short story for a children’s book. She does not want to, rejecting the idea because she does not view it as her duty, as the person asking her to write the story says it is, and also because she doesn’t think that an artist of any sort should be forced to create work on demand. This, she thinks, goes against the idea of artistic freedom. The night following her rejection of the story, the character Gordimer is awakened by a noise that she can’t at first identify. After realizing it isn’t a robber or someone else looking to do her harm (it’s only the floorboards, it turns out), she decides to tell herself a story in order to fall back asleep.

## Quotes

* I reply that I don’t write children’s stories; and he writes back that at a recent congress/book fair/seminar a certain novelist said every writer ought to write at least one story for children. I think of sending a postcard saying I don’t accept that I ‘ought’ to write anything.

* But I learned that I was to be neither threatened nor spared. There was no human weight pressing on the boards, the creaking was a buckling, an epicenter of stress. I was in it.

* It was not possible to insure the house, the swimming pool or the car against riot damage. There were riots, but these were outside the city, where people of another color were quartered. These people were not allowed into the suburb except as reliable housemaids and gardeners, so there was nothing to fear, the husband told the wife. Yet she was afraid that some day such people might come up the street and tear off the plaque YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED and open the gates and stream in... Nonsense, my dear, said the husband, there are police and soldiers and tear-gas and guns to keep them away.
** Narrator
* The man and his wife, talking of the latest armed robbery in the suburb, were distracted by the sight of the little boy's pet cat effortlessly arriving over the seven-foot wall, descending first with a rapid bracing of extended forepaws down on the sheer vertical surface, and then a graceful launch, landing with swishing tail within the property.

# Tree of life (Kabbalah)

The tree of life (Hebrew: עֵץ חַיִּים‎ or אִילָן‎) is a diagram used in Kabbalah and other mystical traditions derived from it. It usually consists of 10 or 11 nodes symbolizing different archetypes and 22 paths connecting the nodes.

## Quotes

* The curious symbol-system known to us as the Tree of Life is an attempt to reduce to diagrammatic form every force and factor in the manifested universe and the soul of man; to correlate them one to another and reveal them spread out as on a map so that the relative positions of each unit can be seen and the relations between them traced. In brief, the Tree of Life is a compendium of science, psychology, philosophy, and theology.
** Dion Fortune: The Mystical Qabalah, ch. 3: "The Method of the Qabalah", p. 13. Samuel Weiser, Inc. (1984). ISBN 0-87728-596-9.
* The word for Crown is Keter (כֶּתֶר‎), and Abulafia notes that when these letters reversed, they spell karet (כָּרֵת‎), which means "cut off." Thus, when an individual attempts to reach the highest level of the Crown, if he is not worthy, he can end up being "cut off" spiritually. Abulafia therefore warns in the strongest terms that one who attempts to enter these mysteries must be adequately prepared, and that one not enter unless he is thoroughly familiar with all the necessary introductions.
** Aryeh Kaplan: Meditation and Kabbalah, ch. 3, "Rabbi Abraham Abulafia", p. 80. Weiser Books (1982). ISBN 0-87728-616-7.
* The Qabalah taken in its traditional and literal form—as contained in the Sepher Yetsirah, Bes Elohim, Pardis Rimonim, and Sepher haZohar—is either mostly unintelligible or, at first sight, apparent nonsense to the ordinary "logical" person. But it contains as its ground plan that most precious jewel of human thought, that geometrical arrangement of Names, Numbers, Symbols, and Ideas called "The Tree of Life". It is called most precious, because it has been found to be the most convenient system yet discovered of classifying the phenomena of the Universe and recording their relations, whereof the proof is the limitless possibilities for analytic and synthetic thought which follow the adoption of this schema.
** Israel Regardie: A Garden of Pomegranates (Second Edition), ch. 1, "Historical Survey", pp. 18–20. Llewellyn Publications (1987). ISBN 0-87542-690-5.
* All the Sephiros, as these emanations are called, below that named the Crown are given masculine and feminine attributions, and the activity between male and female Sephiros in reconciliation is a "child," so to speak; a neutral Sephirah acting in equilibrium. Thus the Tree of Life, comprising these ten emanations, develops from the highest abstraction to the most concrete material in several triads of potencies and spiritual forces. Male, female and child; positive, negative and their resultant commingling in a third reconciling factor.
** Israel Regardie: The Tree of Life, ch. 3, p. 47. Samuel Weiser (1995). ISBN 0-87728-149-1.
