@iam_daniiell @iam_Uchenna @starboy_abefe If you’re within an academic environment, go to different departments and advertise your analysis skill to final students doing project. It’s a good place to start. I started my journey analyzing academic project data. You’ll make money and gain experience.

I’ve said this before. There is no way you’ll have time to write TECH content every day if you’re engaged with work.

[Bọrọkini Rogers 🇳🇬 @Femi_OfMainland]

As a rule of thumb:

If he/she has so much time to create tech-related content every day about how to make money in Tech, they PROBABLY don't have the experience or skill to guide you.

Men are endangered species.

I have a brutal annual reminder of this when reviewing MT Scholarships application. The number of students who say they have lost their father is alarmingly high. It qualifies as an epidemic.

I’ve lost count of those I personally know who are below 30 and yet have already lost their dad.

Men, please, prioritize yourself.

To be fair, nature did not design us to live that long. If you keep heading out to hunt for food, it’s only a matter of time before you encounter a saber-toothed tiger.

Back in the day, and even now in some places, it’s the men that get killed during wars. The women and children get to live. And what is history if not one da*ned war after another.

While you are alive, help other men. While you are still breathing, burn hot, burn bright, let your fire light the way for others and keep them warm.

If a woman is stressed, she has a 1,001 words to express her feelings. A man will just sit there, in silence, rotting inside. Or worse, go out there and do something risky/stupid. So, men, learn to talk to others about what’s up.

We all pray for a long life. But, let’s face it, that’s not in our control.

But we all can have impactful lives.

No Nigerian can visit Ajaokuta Steel Company (ASC), see investments of more than $8 billion rotting in the African sun, and not cry. I went there, I cried. What exactly is the problem? I have written several articles on this topic, but today, let me write a comprehensive post.

Ajaokuta Steel Company is massive; she has a 68km road network and 24 housing estates on the project. Some estates have over 1,000 homes, a seaport, and a 110mw power generation plant; there are 43 separate plants in Ajaokuta alone. It is estimated that if Ajaokuta becomes operational, it will create 500,000 jobs.

There is no industrialised nation on earth that does not have a steel sector. It’s that simple. A Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) report shows that Nigeria currently imports steel, aluminium products, and associated derivatives of approximately 25 metric tonnes per annum, estimated at $4.5 billion. This figure will continue to rise, and the Nigerian economy will continue to expand. Ajaokuta is an integrated steel company; it was designed by the Russians to be self-sufficient, get all its input from Nigeria, and make steel. Ajaokuta's strength is its weakness; Ajaokuta can only work with all available inputs.

This will be a slightly technical post, but please try and follow.

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, amongst other things; iron is the base metal in steel, and to make steel, you need Iron Ore, Coke from Coal, and Limestone as the main components. These components are mixed in a blast furnace to produce liquid steel, which can be long steel for rail lines, flat steel for automobile making, etc.

For example, look at steel as making jollof rice, iron ore as the rice, limestone and coke as the pepper and salt, and the pot as the blast furnace. The blast furnace is ONLY turned on at a steel plane when the company is ready to make steel. Blast furnaces operate continuously and are never shut down. The raw material fed into the furnace is divided into several small charges introduced at 10 to 15-minute intervals. This means everything must be in place BEFORE the blast furnace is turned on: the iron ore, the coal, the limestone, everything; why? You do not switch off a blast furnace for another ten years, no matter how long it's campaign life.

Nigeria is blessed with all the primary raw materials needed to produce steel, including iron ore in Kogi, coal, and limestone in Enugu.

Nigerian iron has a deficient iron concentration. Agbaja has the largest iron ore deposit in Nigeria, with about 2 billion tonnes, but the Agbaja iron ore has a high phosphate content. Phosphate can cause brittleness in steel, making it fracture. Thus, Agbaja was abandoned for Itakpe. Itakpe iron ore has no issues with phosphate but has low iron content; therefore, to make steel with Nigeria iron ore, a process called “beneficiation” has to be done to process the Itakpe ores to raise its iron content to meet the required standard for steel production.

Coal? Most of the coal found in Nigeria is non-coking and, thus, unsuitable for steel production. Coal deposits in Enugu have no impurities but are non-coking. The good news? Nigeria has an abundant deposit of limestone, and we have natural gas to provide power

So, back to Ajaokuta, what happened? Why can Nigeria not make steel anytime soon? Let’s link up the elements.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Your response is so inspiring and comforting, Dr! Congratulations to the person. Go and get it🎉

Congratulations on securing your F1 visa. I can tell the implications of all this is now dawning on you. The exams, applications, decisions, interview and now the visa is in your hand. And for the first time, it feels so real.

This is what you have prayed for. So don’t be scared. You need that measure of discomfort to propel your growth. Life is in phases. You are about to enter into a period of transformation that will bring out - and refine - who you truly are.

Stay connected with your close friends and family. But be open to the new experiences awaiting you. With time, you will find the U.S. “super comfortable” too.

A ship in the harbor is safe but that’s not what ships are built for. You are about to sail away. I have no doubt that you will reap innumerable benefits on this journey. Bon voyage!

Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) isn't just another higher institution in Nigeria. its more than just that, It's a place where brilliant minds are transformed into tech leaders.

Founded in 1962, OAU has a long history of academic excellence. But OAU goes beyond textbooks. It encourages students to be creative, challenge ideas, and turn their ideas into businesses.
