@mrajiabdulwasiu Woah? Is cooking the only metric?

No matter what she has become, a woman will cook for you if she genuinely loves you. In fact, she will not like you eating out regularly. A man will comfortably foot his family bills if he can afford it irrespective of where he lives with his family.

@kunmigbenga Complaining even creates room for more issues. Resist the urge to complain and channel that energy into thinking of solutions instead.

Complaining doesn’t change anything. Action does.

@Eze_Wilberforce Yes, the problem is the leaders themselves. Abians has seen development they haven't seen in years. Other leaders should emulate.

It is important to note that Abia is a state in Nigeria. If Abia can be transformed like this within four years, then the greatest problem of Nigeria is leadership. END.

@LandLordNXT77 I feel it isn't about the education but limited access to farm mechanisation. I bet believe if you meet an 'uneducated' farmer per se with applications and modern agricultural tools, clearly stating the benefits to him/her, it will be embraced.

NIGERIAN FARMERS ARE NOT LAZY. They are undereducated on modern techniques. A farmer using drip irrigation produces 3x more than one using rain alone. A farmer tracking soil pH harvests more per plot. The knowledge gap is. Educate a Nigerian farmer. Feed a nation. 🌿

@flygodT For real, behind the results is a Strata of inputs when no one was clapping. I doff my hat.

The amount of practice and discipline it takes to be great at something isn’t easy, if you see someone very good at what they do give them high respect.

@Chinny2222222 @DannyP1333 In an era of digital economy, he who holds data wields so much power. We must understand this.

@DannyP1333 Data privacy concerns in social platforms highlight the importance of transparent consent control and user owned data systems in modern digital ecosystems

1/8 YOUR DATA WAS THE PRODUCT: THE $87 MILLION LIE In 2018, we learned Facebook allowed Cambridge Analytica to harvest data from 87 million users to manipulate elections. But the scandal wasn’t the bug; it was the feature. Today, Big Tech still operates on surveillance capitalism tracking your every click, private message, and even your offline location to sell to advertisers. According to recent reports, Facebook continues to share your contact info (phone numbers, emails) with advertisers via hidden backend functions . They aren’t just hosting your photos; they are packaging your identity. Government can also use them to censor/silence you because you have no control of your profile they do. This is a sad sad state today's social media. You can stop all this today with @mewe #

@lin_naingwai AI is a tool to be harnessed but my problem is those allowing AI to replace cognitive load.

Data risks: • Privacy breaches • Ownership confusion • Cybersecurity threats Healthcare data = high-value target

AI in Medicine — What Clinicians Actually Need to Know AI is not hype anymore. It’s already inside healthcare systems.

@sijlalhussain I totally agree. Data infrastructure should be the most focus especially in Africa. Data is available, but there's no infrastructure to manage it. What's the point?

📍 Data sovereignty is no longer a legal checkbox. It is becoming an infrastructure design decision. Cloud adoption, geopolitical risk, and AI workloads are pushing organizations to rethink where data resides, how it moves, and who actually controls access. 1️⃣ Data control is shifting from compliance teams to architecture decisions about network paths, cloud security layers, and where AI workloads run. 2️⃣ Many organizations still assume storing data “in country” solves sovereignty requirements, while access routes, security infrastructure, and cloud dependencies often remain outside jurisdictional control. 3️⃣ As AI workloads move to edge deployments and agentic systems generate multidirectional traffic, existing cloud security architectures risk creating sovereignty gaps across jurisdictions. Data sovereignty is no longer just about where data sits. It is about who controls the infrastructure that touches it. Are you designing architectures for regulatory compliance, or for real jurisdictional control? via Forbes forbes.com/sites/tonybrad… @corixpartners @Transform_Sec @Corix_JC @ILoveBooks786 @COSTESLionelEr @ramonvidall @RLDI_Lamy @FrRonconi @timo_vi @Nicochan33 @NathaliaLeHen @TCyberCast @arigatou163 @VivMilanoFSL @bulbi59 @BulbiT3ch @sonu_monika @MathildaLoco @faryus88 @bbailey39 @BindIdeas971 @FmFrancoise @quepasachico @sustainrach @iamtunslaw @Grzebalski86888 @EduFirst @rameshambastha @DonaldGavis @ricardo_ik_ahau @sulefati7 @ALouiseLavalett @ozsilverfox @i_gestio13730 @BCAgroup @kkruse @9SManagement @O_Berard

@Dammi_Esq Studying education might be a path to bring that gift to your notice and equip you. But, teaching (imparting knowledge) is mostly an inherent ability.

Is it possible for someone who didn't study education to be a good teacher?

@RetsonTedheke01 That's a whole lot in m², ooo! I love posts like this!

I am A Farmer in Nigeria! I am Planting Grapes and We Intend to Complete 20hectares of Grapes in 2026. I am Planting These Grapes at The Nigeria Farmers Group & Cooperative Society Grapevine Orchard in Ga'ate, Kokona LGA, Nasarawa State! I am All About Agbado Revolution Because Nigeria Must Farm Locally For Nigeria to Work! @agbadovolution @Agbatoken @NIGFarmersFOND

Wishing you a new month filled with clarity, discipline and high-impact wins, the kind that move you closer to the future you’re building, one deliberate decision at a time.

When communities shape the questions, the answers become clearer. When they shape the data, the solutions become stronger. This is the future of research on the continent: collaborative, contextual and community-driven. And it’s already happening.

The most powerful shifts in public health aren’t happening in boardrooms. They’re happening in communities. Across Africa, researchers are collecting data with people, not on people turning local experience into evidence that actually works.

@RichardMunang They are complementary of each other not direct substitutes.

Data without action is just noise. Action without data is just guessing. Combine both.

@FirstDoctor Thanks for the reminder, doc.

You are not sleeping enough. And it is slowly destroying your health.

@wakawaka_doctor Stay kinesis! 😂😂

Movement / migration is a quality or characteristic of every living thing Even trees move. Move!

@Africanized3 We need to return history to school curriculum in Africa.

To effectively decolonize the African mind, we need to eradicate foreign religious studies from our schools.

@Naija_farmers All I see is innovation. 😂 Using readily available materials for irrigation. However, it's not a smart system, how does it get to regulate the amount of water so it doesn't increase soil acidity, or affect the plant?

This ideas looks great as a picture only! Don't try it on your farm

@mrajiabdulwasiu Little wonder a wise man said and I paraphrase, "If you commit to honing your craft, it won't be long and men (those you know and don't know) will find your doorstep."

If you are good at what you do. People who know your worth will gladly recommend you for jobs and opportunities. I have enjoined people goodwill and have payed it forward to others. 1. My Undergrad project supervisor in ABU Zaria gave me an unsolicited letter to the Dean of School of Technology in YABATECH. That letter aided my acceptance as a youth corper in YABATECH 15 years ago. 2. My brother recommended me to his friend who was a unit head in Mutual Benefits Assurance Ltd, Lagos. With that, I was interviewed and employed as a marketing executive. I had a good time working there. The field experience (marketing) remain useful for me till this day. 3. 2 years after the completion of my youth service in YABATECH. My HOD wrote a recommendation letter (in my absence) to the institution CEO that the department needs my service. 3 months later, I was called from the Registry to pick my temporary appointment letter. 1 year later, I and others were interviewed by a team of academic and industry experts. I aced the interview and got a permanent offer letter. Had an amazing years at YABATECH and it provided a solid foundation for where I am today. 4. My childhood friend recommended Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 🇲🇾 to me for my Masters. At that time, he was a student there. Upon my arrival in Malaysia, he had graduated but he handed me over to Dr. Fasisi (a Nigerian). He was very good to me. Coincidently, I met one of my junior at ABU Zaria in Malaysia. She spoke highly of me to her PhD supervisor. She gladly accepted to be my MSc supervisor. I had a wonderful experience working under her tutelage. This contributed to me graduating for a record 16 months for a 24 months program. At my convocation in Malaysia, I won the best masters student for my cohort. 5. Again, one of my junior at ABU Zaria submitted my CV to his PhD supervisor here 🇫🇷 . He spoke highly of me to him. I was interviewed and weeks later, he gladly accepted me as his PhD student. I have had an amazing research experience working with him in France. Summary of giving back. 1. Today, my friend who recommended Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 🇲🇾 to me is a PhD student at Penn State University. I was instrumental to him getting the offer both during the application stage, interview stage and visa application stage. 2. My friend who recommended me to my lab in France is also in the US. We were together here at a time. I was instrumental to the job offer that took him from France to the US. He remain appreciative till this day. 3. Same applies to the person who recommended me to my supervisor at UTM. She is Dr. Jemilah, a senior lecturer at the ABU Zaria. We remain good friend and professional colleagues. We constantly exchange ideas and opportunities for career growth. There are many more of such.... That's me for you. Be good to me and I will go out of my way to support your growth. Have you been recommended for opportunity and by who?
