“Gone are the days when roads are built for show off and political cheap points. All our infrastructural development will be targeted at economic revitalisation.”
Seyi Makinde

“Urban Americans lost the tactile experience of raising food. They neither heard the squeals, nor smelled he offal, nor saw the blood, nor tasted the rage when predators swallowed a cherished investment.”
Jon T. Coleman, Vicious: Wolves and Men in America
