This is a cry for help🤲
My neighbor got a masters scholarship in Mathematics at the university of Calabria, Italy
The scholarship covers her tuition, accommodation, meal and stipends
But she needs money for flight tickets, visa application, initial settlement cost and miscellaneous which is a total of €3,122 (4.9 million naira)
I’ve seen her toil, sacrifice so much to get here and we can’t afford to lose this opportunity 🥺

Small ideas that would quietly make the world a better place:
1. Fridges should tell you what you can cook with whatever is actually left inside them.
2. Elevators should let you cancel a floor you pressed by mistake instead of riding it out.
3. Every TV remote should beep when you clap so you stop losing it in the couch.
4. Danfos and kekes should have a "we not get change" sign before you climb in.
5. Shopping carts should have a running total so you never get surprised at checkout.

But if AI mathematics continues to progress at anything like its current rate -- which is what I expect to happen -- then we will face a crisis very soon, and mathematics departments, who owe a duty of care to their students, should be urgently preparing for it.
Of course, this raises all sorts of questions about what is going to happen to mathematical research, with the impact on PhD students being particularly urgent. I give a few thoughts on this in the blog post, but I don't have anything like complete answers.
But the tl;dr version is that the model proved a result that in my assessment would have made a perfectly reasonable chapter in a PhD thesis. It did this in a total of a couple of hours, with a few prompts from me that contained no mathematical input whatsoever.
I've recently got in on the act of getting AI to solve open problems in mathematics. More precisely, I gave some questions asked by Melvyn Nathanson to ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, to which I have been given access, and it answered them. 🧵
UPDATE:
The deal is sealed!
This afternoon, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab (@tokunbo_wahab), met with Adetokunbo Ogunnoiki (@tokunboxyz), a young innovator, who gained viral attention last Saturday for his daring proposal published on X, detailing how his startup can deploy technology to create seamless access to the newly-installed public toilets in strategic locations in Lagos.
The viral post was brought to the Commissioner’s attention, prompting him to invite the whiz kid.
Adetokunbo, in company of his startup partner, Ademola Gbadero, presented his idea to the Commissioner in about 30mins.
They duo demonstrated how they developed a tech solution to solve similar challenges on their university campus, the University of Ibadan; the platform, the said, has successfully helped students locate clean and available toilets within the school.
The Commissioner interviewed the young innovators in company of his cabinet colleague, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Electronic Geographic Information Systems (e-GIS), Dr. Olajide Babatunde, and the Director of Sanitation Services in the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Dr. Sanuth.
In their PowerPoint presentation, Adetokunbo and Ademola outlined their proposal for the development of an advanced model of their tech platform, which would enable commuters in Lagos to easily find clean and available public toilets in real-time using geo-mapping.
They explained how their platform would provide users with information about toilet availability at every location, cleanliness ratings, walking directions and estimated time to walk to toilet.
The Government team engaged the young innovators on their presentation, identifying areas for improvement and also highlighting potential limitations that could be addressed after the launch.
Fascinated by the idea, the Commissioner approved Adetokunbo’s proposal. He also requested a comprehensive budget for the project be submitted in the next meeting coming in a few days.
This project will further bolster the drive for a “Cleaner Lagos” being championed by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Adetokunbo Ogunnoiki, 24, is a fresh graduate of Mathematics from the University of Ibadan. His colleague, Ademola Gbadero, is a 24-year-old final year student of Mechanical Engineering, at the same school.

Dear Honorable Commissioner,
My name is Adetokunbo Ogunnoiki, and I am the founder of LooPoint which is a platform that helps individuals find clean and available public toilets in real-time, including availability, cleanliness ratings and walking directions.
Date cancelled. I asked her to pay for my haircut and outfit, and to send a ride to my place to take me to the location, but she declined. Biggest red flag I have ever seen. I dodged a bullet. 🚩
Secondary school days.
- Received the best Science Student Award in Secondary school.
- Received the Overall Best Student Award in Secondary school.
- Won the Cardiff Competition Award in 2019 when I was in Secondary school as the best student.
- Won the U.I Alumni Competition
Mehnnnn it’s those that know me that will understand why this degree is a big deal! The last 6-ish years have been something!
Lost one of my best friends
Lost my father
Lost my mother
Got diagnosed with MDD amongst other things.
I can’t even begin to explain in details!
Somehow I’m still here! And I did it!
I really did!🥹
