I have 3 master’s degrees and a PhD so trust me, I’ve tasted academic validation and I highly recommend getting academic validation.

@WithoutHistory What's your source for the claim that the World Bank and IMF are opposing Dangote's proposal to build a refinery in East Africa? I checked online, and I couldn't find anything aside from claims like this without a source.

Guess who is opposing Dangote’s proposal to build a 1.2M barrels a day refinery in east Africa (Tanzania, Kenya and Congo) World Bank and IMF. : ))) Their argument? it would give monopoly to one company over energy. 1) All the while, French refineries are in almost every oil producing countries in Africa. 2) No African countries could get a loan to build a refinery larger than 400,000 barrels per day (one of the most profitable businesses ever). So the majority are small and struggle for profitability. 3) Nigeria oil had to be exported to Europe, refined and in many cases sold back to Nigeria and ECOWAS countries, under companies like shell and total. 4) it took until a billionaire financed the refinery in Nigeria himself to change part of that production and supply pipeline. And today, after the Hormuz blockade, EU countries are now buying oil from Dangote.

I get your point, but I disagree. No course is useless. I used to be among those that threw shades at students majoring in Primary Education in the University - then when I got to the States I realized that people get paid big bucks as experts just to design and revise curriculum to keep up with time and technology and the real world - and train and retrain teachers to improve learning in the classroom. A lot of students in Nigeria are dyslexic. But they’re written off as dullards and end up dropping out of school because teachers are not trained to spot them. Our curricula are not designed by experts- most of whom would be graduates of Primary Education. This is where I agree with you, it’s not about the course it’s about the system. In Nigeria, I would’ve kept my BSc Microbiology certificate in the wardrobe and looked for a job in the bank as a teller. But with the same certificate, I could get an advanced degree and secure employment as a Scientist at Pfizer or Moderna. So yea, no course is useless.

I defended my PhD at MIT and will be joining Cornell CS as an assistant professor in January 2027, based at the Cornell Tech campus in NYC. I'll be living in Kazakhstan and Armenia this fall and would love to get connected with the local CS/tech community there!

Multiple attacks reported in two communities south of Jos last night. At least two deaths confirmed so far 💔

I've always told my PhD students that a PhD is a marathon and not a sprint. Now that Sabastian Sawe has run the London Marathon in under 2 hours, I'll need to think of something else to tell them.

@tare_abang Sorry, you didn't get what you expected. Yet, "It lacked soul" isn't very kind.

I really wanted Germany to be something else. Unfortunately, it lacked soul. There's something about it you cannot touch but you know it's missing. Maybe it's the food, the non-emotive people. I don't know why but Germany did not deliver what my heart expected.

Snub? Hell no. Stop the negativity pls. I saw him, greeted him, danced with him. pasuma is my Egbon. Pls you all should stop this evil.

How I bagged PhD at 27 and won the Outstanding Graduate Student Award at UT Dallas. School is not a scam.

A mob of Islamist students lynched Deborah Yakubu, a Nigerian Christian student, after accusing her of insulting Islam. They stoned Deborah and set her on fire in her university. The perpetrators were acquitted by the Nigerian courts after pressure from the Muslim community.

ALAAFIN OF OYO 👑🇳🇬: Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade visits Jebba in Kwara State, offering prayers for the community and calling for peace, unity and stability in the area.

It is an absolute shame that the Christian church in Nigeria has become a platform for thieves, criminals and heartless wicked politicians. This message here is long long overdue. I wish every Nigerian will see this video

A Syrian in Germany, unemployed, receives $6,000 per month from the Job Center plus his rent covered. He is suing the German government, demanding $10,000 in unemployment benefits because of the high cost of living. He says he can’t work because of the number of children and a second wife on the way. x.com/Ous_25_Sam_82_…

Bro, when I was Muslim, I used to think I was so holy by washing my feet before prayer. Islam said, clean yourself before you can stand before God. You do the work. Miss a spot? Do it again. Get dirty? Start over. Scrubbing your record, hoping maybe you’re worthy. Then I met Jesus. John 13. The Son of God, robe off, towel in hand, kneeling down to wash His disciples’ feet… right before the cross. In Wudu, I was at the sink trying to prove I was clean enough for God. In Jesus, God is on His knees saying, “Let me make you clean.” Do you understand how wild that is? This isn’t a servant trying to impress the king. This is the King becoming the servant, stepping into the mess, the dirt, the shame, and taking it all to the cross. That’s the difference. Religion says: fix yourself so God will have you. Jesus says: I’ll fix you so you can have me. One is earning. One is receiving. One ends in exhaustion. One ends in freedom. I used to wash my feet before I prayed. Now the One I pray to has already made me clean. Saturday 1pm: I have this Muslim auntie, and she’s really devout. Not just culturally, personally. She has a long history of answered prayers. Real things she asked for, and they happened. I used to wrestle with that. How do I say Jesus is the only way when her prayer life feels so real—like it saved her from mental hell? If you try to argue with that, you will lose. Because to her, it’s not a theory. It’s history. And here’s what most people miss: You can’t tear down someone’s belief system and leave them homeless. You have to show them the home in Christ. A lot of apologetics today just demolish. Win the argument, lose the soul. But here’s the truth: Those answered prayers… a lot of them were Jesus. The character of Jesus. The mercy of Jesus. The Holy Spirit moves based on heart posture, not perfect wording. A sincere heart still matters to a Father who is chasing His kids. That doesn’t make Islam true. It shows how merciful Jesus is. So yes, expose the cracks. But build Christ louder. Preach the person, not just the proof. Because my auntie doesn’t need another argument. She needs a revelation. And Jesus will meet her, even in the middle of praying to someone else. When I prayed to Allah, Jesus was the one who answered me. And I knew it, because I knew His Word, His story, His character.

My testimony is “I sought the Lord, and he heard, and he answered.” 🙌🏾🥲

There’s a God that taught a tiny bird how to sew.

Grateful to share that I’ve been promoted to Professor of Medicine @harvardmed @Harvard. I am deeply thankful for my family, mentors, collaborators, and trainees who have carried me here.

But all you all care about is giving PO a chess board or honoring a presidential invite. See, even as a PO supporter I’m telling you all to REST. ZUKWANUIKE. Allow people support who they want to support and do whatever they want. And honoring an invite doesn’t equal to supporting him. This behavior from some of us is disgusting abeg. I support PO but don’t see anything wrong with honoring an invitation from the Villa. Some of you criticizing him go honor that invite if na you them invite. REST!!
