Nigerian resilience and sound mind.
"And you've learnt over time and embraced the stutter because you realise it was a gift. It was a gift that sharpened your listening, and deepened your empathy and deepened your sensitivity and deepened your humanity and ensured your humility". 'Learn from the lame goat and lead the herd home'.
