@sharmaG30 @Nature @DalmeetS Beautiful tool!!! Great work,

Happy to see that our lab’s open-science tool, GScholarLens has been featured by @Nature. Dalmeet Chawla (@DalmeetS) does a fantastic job highlighting how GScholarLens brings transparency to scientific metrics, helping researchers, institutions, and the community better understand research impact based on authorship. By making citation and authorship data open and traceable, the tool aims to reduce the pitfalls of metric-driven evaluation and encourage thoughtful discussion on scientific contributions.

@Outlook , I don't want future messages from blocked accounts in the junk folder, please.

Dear @Outlook , When I block an email, I do not want to see it either in the junk or anywhere else. Thank you for your attention to this matter #outlook

Nigeria’s Education Reforms Without Foresight When the Federal Ministry of Education announced that Mathematics would no longer be compulsory for Arts and Humanities students, many Nigerians cheered. For once, it seemed, the government was making life easier for thousands of students who have struggled with a subject they see as irrelevant to their chosen fields. But policy is not about what feels easy; it is about what builds capacity. A few weeks ago, the same Ministry introduced a new set of subjects into the national curriculum, just weeks before school resumption, without any serious communication about teacher training, classroom resources, or curriculum alignment. It’s a familiar pattern: headline reforms without homework. This is the problem with Nigeria’s education system and perhaps the policy making arena — anyhowness. The culture of making major decisions without research, stakeholder consultation, or implementation planning. It is how policies that sound progressive on paper often collapse in practice. Mathematics, for instance, isn’t just a subject. It is a way of thinking — teaching structure, logic, and problem-solving. Even in the arts, these skills are essential. Today’s writers, journalists, filmmakers, and designers use data to understand audiences, manage analytics, and measure impact. The future of work doesn’t divide people into “math people” and “word people.” It demands hybrid thinkers, creative professionals who are also analytically literate. So while the intention to remove barriers for arts students may sound noble, the policy should have been built on research, not sympathy. Instead of removing Mathematics, Nigeria should have redesigned it. Arts students may not need calculus, but they do need applied numeracy — logic, statistics, and digital reasoning. Those are the real-world skills that connect creativity to competitiveness. The same short-sightedness shows in the sudden introduction of new subjects just before a new term. Policymakers seem to forget that curriculum reform is a process, not a press release. Teachers must be trained, materials must be developed, and assessments must evolve. You can not just announce “new subjects” weeks before resumption and expect the system to adjust magically. Everywhere else, reforms follow a clear sequence: design, pilot, evaluate, and scale. In Nigeria, we announce, react, and adjust just as if it were a beer parlor, often at the expense of students who become guinea pigs for poorly planned ideas. This culture of anyhowness is why our education outcomes remain weak. It is not because we lack ideas; it is because we lack follow-through. The global job market is changing rapidly (automation, artificial intelligence, and data) are redefining even creative work. Yet, while other countries are integrating computational thinking into their arts and humanities curriculum, we are busy removing mathematics altogether. Policy should be visionary, not reactionary. It should ask: What skills will a Nigerian child need to thrive in 2035? not What subject can we drop to make exams easier in 2025? Nigeria needs to treat education reform as a national strategy, not a series of uncoordinated announcements. The future belongs to countries that are deliberate about learning, those that align curriculum reform with teacher development, infrastructure, and long-term planning. We must end the era of ANYHOWNESS. Without discipline in how we plan, Nigeria will keep producing citizens who are less prepared for a world that rewards precision, foresight, and adaptability. Reform and policy should not just be all vibes, it should be about doing the right thing, well.

The strength and impact of the triple helix (academics, industry and government) lies in the academic -government relationship. The government must see education as an investment not a charity. Education must be used as a solution to national development not just a budget line.

Congratulations, Dr. @olusolayemi . Here is to more wins!!!

The disconnect of science and fact based research from government policies will set back national growth and development. The longer we stray away from this, the more expensive it becomes to do the right thing.

@tunde_banjoko @admaxworld @BashorunGa_ @Dan_Momoh @akinwale_cfi @EletaValentine @KaySoyemiEsq @Okon_Eteobong ... fighting for their existence, no more interested in that path, starved of funds, or swimming in prodigality of our commonwealth. I can remember seeing a researcher "modifying" banana sucker at SHETSCO in 2007/08.

@ogunjosam @admaxworld @BashorunGa_ @Dan_Momoh @akinwale_cfi @EletaValentine @KaySoyemiEsq @Okon_Eteobong Prof finish your statement o.....

Trust your day has been very productive ..... I will be on Channels TV ( Business Morning) at 10am tomorrow morning to discuss " GMO foods in Nigeria " Kindly Tune-in @BashorunGa_ @Dan_Momoh @admaxworld @akinwale_cfi @EletaValentine @KaySoyemiEsq @Okon_Eteobong

@admaxworld @tunde_banjoko @BashorunGa_ @Dan_Momoh @akinwale_cfi @EletaValentine @KaySoyemiEsq @Okon_Eteobong We can develop our own unique varieties here in Nigeria but the researchers and institutions to do it are ....

@tunde_banjoko @BashorunGa_ @Dan_Momoh @akinwale_cfi @EletaValentine @KaySoyemiEsq @Okon_Eteobong Well done bro. Agreed that we need to hear more from our agencies and GMO produce labelling. One of my issues with GMO is the seeds subscription model and impacts of the GMO seeds on the soil - killing of local seeds. We need more research on the health impacts as well.

@tunde_banjoko How do we know "you" have money if there is no seasoning of lawlessness? That is the starting capital for wealth here, sir.

Is like the richer and more influential you are in Nigeria the more lawless you become ?

@admaxworld @bolsaid @ayenioluwaseun He is entitled to his personal opinion.

@bolsaid @ayenioluwaseun @ogunjosam ….Dem say you people are jobless 😂

@admaxworld @bolsaid You are a true Nigerian, sir.

@ogunjosam @bolsaid Na to collude with people from the accountant general’s office. Some personnel have now been elevated to “god status” 😂

I kind of support this!

@bolsaid @admaxworld You underestimate our ingenuity and creativity as a country.

@admaxworld E go dey easy to reconcile, track and monitor. EFCC and ICPC jobs go dey a bit easier 😂😂

@bolsaid I doubt if this is genuine. Terrible, if it is.

In 2025?

@bolsaid @OluyinkaAdetunj @admaxworld @dapowuyi @sanya_olumide Exactly!!!

@ogunjosam @OluyinkaAdetunj @admaxworld @dapowuyi @sanya_olumide With their spouses name as mail owner 😂😀
