That this man has been seeing the same pr0stitute for 20 years, becoming her only client at some point. This is Chester Brown, the award winning Canadian Cartoonist. He enjoyed carrying olóṣó so much that he started preaching for them, claiming that the Bible supports it.

1/ A day after Ms. Rachel told her audience she didn’t care if they opposed her “Pride” post, her sidekick — a “they/them” named Jules — performed at the “Queer Fam Pride Jam.” The event was advertised as family friendly. It wasn’t. @SpencerLndqst captured for @realDailyWire

The single biggest argument about statistics: is probability frequentist or Bayesian? It's neither, and I'll explain why. Buckle up. Deep-dive explanation incoming.

@NaijaFlyingDr It is important to understand that author stated that the child penalty is as a result of women changing job and career path.

I remember in elementary school, the teacher promised the class extra recess outside, if we were good during 'quiet time'. One of the students couldn't keep quiet, for whatever reason, and so the entire class was punished with no extra recess time. I remember thinking to myself, even then, why does the 1 person get to ruin things for the 24 other people?

I believe this is to motivate people and it comes from a good place. However, you should also know that a lot of people struggle in the US despite graduating with distinction from schools like UI, OAU, LAUTECH, et al. Some drop out and others have to change course.
Samuel Ajayi, PhD@SamdGreat01

You can have 2.2 in Nigeria and come to the US and end with 4.0/4.0 CGPA One major factor that makes students fail in Nigeria is the lecturer factor "A is for God, B is for me, C is for the best student, D is for good students, the rest is for others" Some lecturers need to repent

I am thrilled to share that I will join the University of Virginia @UVA (@UVASARC) as a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow this Fall, followed by an appointment at the Ohio State University @OhioState as an Assistant Professor in the Anthropology department (@OSUanthro). I have also been awarded the @WennerGrenOrg Foundation Post-PhD Research Grant to support my research on the materiality of cultural astronomy and social memory among the Yoruba. : : : : : : I have a story to tell, I will add it to the thread shortly!

I have a question, how does the NBS operationalise these variables and what informed the old (during your dispensation) and the new development. In addition, how are these data collected.
Dr Yemi Kale@sgyemikale

@ljinad @Mario9jaa I dislike with a passion anybody/anything that politicizes data because i understand how important it is & how dangerous it is to do so in a country I love & have served for over 16 years with everything in my mind body and soul. So you guys need to stop playing games with data

I am not a writer. But I practise writing because you don't need a license to write. You just write and gbam! you are a writer. I hate to brag; The Washington Post published me once. 100 words. I think it was less, after they'd edited my fantastic tales. I was over the moon. Literally. And figuratively. I shall explain. Every Sunday, the Post would invite the reader to write something personal and if it suits the Post's fancy, it would get published on a Sunday along with a picture (yes, a Post photographer actually comes to you, takes a billion pictures out of which the one you hate the most is used). For the picture, I wore a wretched tie dye shirt that reeked of Africa and suffering, and held on to my kids, an African grateful to America for saving me from a war that was Africa. Truth is, when I left Africa, I left heaven and came to a former haven that had been paved into hell (that is not original, do not applaud me please!). Many African writers, me included, should be hauled before a Truth Commission and made to apologize profusely to Africa for all the lies we have told against her, for fame and fortune. We are ingrates. Well, truth is, I knew once I started writing that I would be published. Why? I started my fable thusly: "Many moons ago..," and ended with a weepy expression of gratitude to America for what, I don't remember. Africa as the exotic other, America as the savior of the cute African. The Washington Post loved it. And I became a published writer. I have since written a few other pieces to great and enthusiastic reception by Western editors enthralled by my "enthusiastic" prose. There are days I hate writing, it is so phony, many times. Many American publishers seem fascinated by the bullshit of immigrants, "aliens" who come from places where the natives measure time in moons, go to the river to bathe and shit, etc. I write about moons a lot. I don't know why moons appear a lot in my narrative, in real life the moon holds no special fascination for me, except for a brief stint in my ancestral village, during the Nigerian civil war, I lived in the cities of Nigeria most of my life there and I don't remember the moon much, the cities are very civilized, hehehe, there's a lot of smog and so I am proud to say that I did not see any pristine moon. About wild animals, I have an uncle we call. Elephant and there was this other uncle who lived in the forests of a place called Omolege, who used to bring us meat he claimed was from an elephant. Our mother Izuma would cook the hide for hours, and offer it to us kids. The hide was thick and as tender as a stone, you could chew that sucker for months and we did. I digress, excuse me. I believe I did see an elephant in a zoo in Ibadan or Benin City in the early 70's. There are unreliable reports that the elephant was converted to dinner by irate zookeepers who had not been paid for months. Or maybe that was the Zoo in Washington DC, they have had issues with being paid over there on occasion, the almost annual federal government shutdown and whatnot, dunno jor. Why do we write these things? Well, every African writer will deny this in public but will tell you privately that his or her dream is to be published by a Western outfit, journal, newspaper, publishing house, etc,, etc. - Guernica, Eclectica, The New Yorker, The New York Times, etc. etc. Our elders say you have not arrived until you have been published by Guernica. An email acceptance is usually cause for raucous joy.

@NaijaFlyingDr For transparency, the data for this kind of study should de-identified and made available to the general public on the state website. How sure are we that this study was conducted? What was the duration of the study? There are so many questions. I will stop here.

@NaijaFlyingDr This is a self-report data. As good as the initiative sound, there are inherent risk of running with this kind of data. First, there is no validity check baked into it design to ensure the respondents are being truthful. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
