“ To live with courage is to believe in yourself, to go on regardless, to love regardless, and to start over every time. ”
― Naide P Obiang

“ La femme africaine, en particulier la femme gabonaise, ne doit jamais craindre l’échec. Malgré les oppressions qui attaquent son quotidien, elle se doit d’être intrépide afin de défendre ses droits ; aussi le faire avec classe et intégrité. ”
― Naide P Obiang
