@DrJoeAbah @Drjoeabah, these people are not ready for data. They know what they are doing. They will still say this report is fake and it's AI. They just want to cry about problems. Thank you for your service to the nation.

They believed they kidnapped Adelabu’s sister and the twins, but they didn’t believe the rescue video because they are allergic to positive news

@iyanuiyanuiyanu @bigwale4naija @FolushoxFolarin Stop trying to be intelligent. The fact speaks for itself. They gave you macro data, you shift goal post to micro. If they give you micro now, you will turn to another beer parlour talk. You guys should learn and use your brain.

@HappyBoomTips @Profkadeleke We need to learn how to take responsibility. The Nigerian government provides one of the most affordable education. It is cheaper to study medicine in Nigeria than in most places. If you what it takes, apply for admission.There is also a student loan for you to take advantage.

🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as Artemis II pilot Victor Glover shares the Gospel mere MOMENTS before reaching the back side of the Moon, losing communication with Earth

"Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are." 🙏🏻

"And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself."

"And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on earth and around earth, we love you from the moon." ❤️

The same country Nigeria sacrificed for now, the same people pay back with hate.

@ubifranklin1 @Omojuwa The issue is not about the job. It's the renumeration. Some young girls will date a Danfor or okada driver who earns well and shame a graduate in Nigeria. A doctor who earns well will shame a plumber or cleaner. In the UK, the minimum wage is decent, hence, the respect.

@MikeysFinances Rare-Breed Men Tribe is a charity supporting men through mental wellbeing, brotherhood, and community programmes. This would help us expand safe spaces like Brothers on the Pitch and our hangouts, reducing isolation and strengthening families. A little support, big ripple.

Advice for Anyone Holding a Humanities Degree

When I began my PhD in the US, I felt a kind of aloneness I wasn’t prepared for. Being in the humanities at a STEM-dominated institution made me feel small, almost invisible. Events didn’t speak to me, conversations around me felt foreign, and I often wondered if I had misunderstood what it meant to belong here. I reached out on social media because I had nowhere else to turn, and the kindness of strangers, tiny pieces of advice, affirmations, and reminders, helped me breathe again.

The US is structured to privilege STEM. That is the environment we walk into, but that reality does not cancel your possibility. It does not mean you cannot thrive, build, or rise as someone in the humanities. If anything, it sharpens your resilience. I sometimes joke that if I weren’t in the humanities, I might not have learned this depth of grit or pushed myself to be as visible as I am. Being in the “minority” forced me to stretch, to speak up, and to believe in my work even when the environment didn’t know what to do with it.

If you are just starting out and the policies feel discouraging, I understand. That fear is real. OPT is one year. Lawyers may look at your field and tell you you’re “not strong enough” for EB-1. People will speak with an authority they haven’t earned, but their assessments don’t have to become your identity.

Choosing the humanities was not a misstep. Your field teaches you to think deeply, write with clarity, and understand people with precision. These abilities hold teams together, nurture communities, and keep institutions humane. Even if the world doesn’t applaud it loudly, it depends on it quietly.

Find people who see you. Even one person can feel like sunlight. Join communities of humanities scholars. I did this much later than I should have. If I could rewrite my graduate journey, I would have opened up sooner, collaborated sooner, and allowed myself to take up space sooner.

Your path will look different from your STEM peers, and that difference is not a deficiency. It’s simply a different architecture. The system wasn’t built with us in mind, especially when immigration is involved, but that doesn’t mean you cannot build within it. It just means you must be intentional.

You will hear discouraging words:
“Your field isn’t practical.”
“You can’t stay.”
“What will you do with this degree?”

Most of these comments are rooted in fear, not truth. Protect your confidence. Be proud of what you are creating. Do not let another person’s doubt become your compass.

EB-1 may be harder for the humanities which is subjective but harder isn’t the same as closed. People qualify through impact, visibility, publications, cultural work, teaching excellence, leadership, and community influence. Your path won’t resemble a STEM checklist, and that is perfectly fine.

Document everything: talks, awards, conferences, essays, media features, teaching milestones, leadership roles, community work. Humanities careers grow slowly, layer by layer. Those layers will matter more than you think when it is time to show the world what you have built.

If you feel the need to pivot, honor that instinct. Moving into UX, strategy, nonprofits, policy, communications, ed-tech, cultural organizations, or international work doesn’t diminish your identity. It expands your arc. Extracurriculars matter. Community work matters. Be proactive, your future roles may draw from these experiences more than you expect.

Above all, protect your mind. Being abroad, being alone, and navigating systems not designed for you can drain even the strongest hearts. Give yourself rest. Allow joy to interrupt your days. Ask for help. Lean on the people who love you.

You are not behind. You are not lost. You are building quietly, steadily, beautifully, and patiently. Nothing about your journey is a mistake. If you need to pivot, do it with power. It is more than fine.
