Treasure Okegbola developed a machine learning model that detects malaria from blood samples.
We ran a live test today, and it was amazing.
She will be training it on other diseases so that people can run quality and free tests in their homes. It can then detect even diseases people may not be aware of.
She says this will be her way of supporting poor families who can’t afford quality healthcare or are afraid to do tests because of cost.
I have always known that Treasure will make a great impact in the world.
What a start!

I met this 14-year-old boy, Okpako-Onyokoko Ovie Joel, from Graceland International School, Port Harcourt, and I have been so impressed by his exploits.
36 international awards in Mathematics at just 14 years old.
He is a star, and the world will know him.
Stefanos Tsitsipas wins a much-needed title in Gstaad, defeating Raphael Collignon 6-4, 6-7(3), 6-3 in the final.
His first title in 16 months.
Good for him as he tries to rebuild his ranking.

Since my time in Mambilla ended last month, I have been to seven cities in four countries across four continents. I enjoyed each one for different reasons, but none stimulated me the way the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba, Nigeria did. Every other city, I can put into words. Mambilla, I am still processing.
Nigeria is holding a gem, hiding in plain sight.
Thank you for making Mambilla happen @Abdulrahmanleme. When are we going back? I am available now!
More progress for Nigeria's Oluwaseun Ogunsakin!
He's a Junior Grand Slam Doubles Semifinalist, y'all!!!! 📢 📢 📢 📢
He and Botswana's Ntungamili Raguin defeat No.6 seeds Ryo Tabata and Yannick Alexandrescou 6-4, 7-6(4).
Amazing!!!

One of the reasons I chose a federal university for my PhD is because of what President Bola Tinubu has done. One of the top three reasons PhDs take forever in government owned universities in Nigeria is the recurring ASUU strikes.
I considered private universities in Nigeria and even foreign universities, but I eventually settled for a FG owned university because of how President Tinubu has, seemingly almost magically, resolved this perennial problem.
I imagine how happy thousands of Nigerian students are about this.
