00:08We want to tell the world a different story about our region than the usual media reports about oil outputs, conflicts and kidnapping.

00:24Before you get fish now, you can go inside, inside, inside, inside, before you get fish.
00:29I don't want poverty to come near me, because poverty is dangerous.

00:59I was small when my parents separated.
01:02My mom was more responsible for everything.

01:10Anything I want, I go to her, because there was no dad.

01:54I do want to make a world of my siblings to crow,
01:55where you want me to go over the edge of the liquors.
01:56I can do it.
01:57I go over the edge of my shoes and will take care of my feet.
01:58I love you, which is a great thing about it.
