WHY I CAME BACK HOME After almost 30 years in the United States working as an Interventional Cardiologist, people still ask me why I returned to Nigeria. Every day at Tristate Hospital, Lekki, I am reminded that my return to Nigeria was not just a career decision. 1/8

Congratulations to Dr Onyinye Iweala MD PhD @onyiiwealamdphd for your promotion and confirmation of Tenure as Associate Professor of Medicine -Allergy and Immunology UNC Medical School, Chapel Hill. So so proud of you!!!

@AskMichaelTaiwo Just curious, does your wife have a PhD like you do ans is she as career driven like you?

Where is the lie here? To be clear, successful White men do date/marry Black women too but they go for the successful ones. They won't step down in class. Ketanji Brown Johnson (Supreme Court Justice), Kamala Harris, Ilhan Omar and so on. These are all Black folks with White husbands. Go to any Fortune 500 company in America and check out the Black females doing well there. You will be shocked at the percentage with White partners. But when it comes to our successful Black males, they go for the bottom barrel in the White pool. I don't know why. Go to any graduate school in the US, you will see brilliant Black PhD students dating White girls who dropped out of high school. Shame. Tiger Woods, a whole Tiger Woods, marrying a nanny who ended up leaving him btw. Same with other Black actors and athletes. Black males need to aim higher when dating Whites.

David spent years taking care of his father's sheep. He could have thought “God, what am I doing stuck with a bunch of sheep.” but David knew that God was in control, so he just kept going to work with a good attitude, grateful for where he was. You have to train your mind to be thankful and satisfied with where God has you right now. Be content whether you have a lot or not.

@ayomairoese I always look forward to your takes on What’s trending.

Thank you!

Keep going even if results aren’t evident!

Will appreciates ideas on solving this problem.

Humans tend to forget new information over time especially when it's not very important, machines should be able to forget stale information as well. Working on the concept of incorporating "forgetting" into models in VANETs so that stale training samples can be forgotten.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Is the scholar in Nigeria? Will he be able to make it to the US with the travel ban?

An MT Scholar just rejected offers from: University of Michigan University of Chicago and Duke University He now needs to choose between: Princeton University and University of California at Berkeley! These offers are coming after years of trying. I love good problems.

@cchukudebelu I love to read your thoughts on social issues.

Lee Kuan Yew described the traditional Chinese social hierarchy that Confucian society had long valued, which ranked occupations in this order: 1. First, the scholar (shi); 2. Second, the farmer (nong); 3. Third, the worker/artisan (gong); 4. Fourth, the merchant (shang) He explained that in traditional Chinese thought (dating back to the Spring–Autumn period), this ordering reflected social values — with scholars at the top because of their mind-work and moral learning, farmers next because they produced food and were essential to society, workers/artisans after them, and merchants last because they were seen as making profit from others’ labor rather than creating fundamental value. Nigerians naively think that great wealth makes you a "superior human being" and a "paragon of virtue". No merchants are often solely motivated by profit, and no serious enduring civilization has relied on their guidance.

@Fowe Interested!

If you know strong graduate students in the USA still looking for Data science or AI/ML engineering internship job for this summer please DM me. Please recommend only if you can vouch for the candidate. Thanks

@ishowspeedsui is a very smart guy! The sky is just his beginning.

@olumuyiwaayo I read the official statement that was released and it stated both non-immigrant and immigrant visas were partially suspended.

Beyond the Headlines: What the US Visa Suspension Really Means for Students and Travelers While discussing the 2026 strategic plan with one of my mentees today as part of his Global Scholarships Academy package, we touched on the recent US suspension affecting 75 countries, which begins January 21. I emphasized that this suspension does not apply to applicants seeking non-immigrant visas, including temporary tourist, business, or student visas, who make up the vast majority of visa seekers. We also discussed the importance of looking beyond headlines to avoid generalizations and clickbait, especially when making decisions about studying or traveling abroad.
