It’s a good thing Devin Nunes is not taking my course on national security decision making. I expect my students’ written work to be compelling, accurate, and unbiased. By those standards, I would have to give him an F. Let’s hope his constituents do the same in November.

@rubyhamad @theage @devex Apparently Nelly Yoa dismissed all similarities as "coincidental." I will let you decide for yourself...either way our psychic/intellectual connection appears to be on point😂

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@rubyhamad @theage @devex Here you go: https://t.co/XwySkw2n21 unfortunately it's behind a paywall though!

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@susanamet @NYoa88 Thank you! Wouldn't have been able to write it without the great insight of real youth experts and activists who were really kind to share true field experience. Those are the ones who should be getting media attention :)!

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@susanamet Looks like @NYoa88 is in my head then 😂Maybe he's some long-lost twin brother with whom I share a special psychic connection? I will let everyone judge for themselves whether what happened was simply "coincidental." See some examples of 'coincidences' below!

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@Buds_Oneski Rightly so! How can some random guy be widely interviewed by Australian media outlets without ever having his credentials checked? Yet another sad day for journalism...

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

.@NYoa88 Didn't your mom ever tell you not to steal? Interesting how the suggestions you share in an piece for @theage on how to integrate Sudanese youth happen to be EXACTLY the same as the best practices I discuss in a story I wrote back in March 2015 https://t.co/XwySkw2n21

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@theage @devex On second thought, being plagiarized is not flattering at all. @theage I expect Nelly Yoa's piece https://t.co/LAxYrA4ZRX to be taken down ASAP! I can send you the full article I wrote so you can see just how shady this guy is!

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

Well, considering that the 'constructive solutions' to help South Sudanese youth that he puts forward in his recent opinion piece for @theage are basically word-for-word copied from my March 2015 article published on @devex, I'd dare say he does have some inspiration issues...

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

Turns out the guy is a famous South Sudanese commentator in Australia, and there are now questions being raised around his credibility. No joke.

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

One of my stories just got plagiarized. Perhaps I should be flattered?

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@ChemicalThanker @ChelseaFC @QPRFC @theage @devex Thanks for flagging @ChemicalThanker! Confirming that Nelly Yoa's recent opinion piece for @theage is pure plagiarism of a story I wrote back in March 2015 on ways to engage youth in peace-building https://t.co/XwySkw2n21

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@AnthColangelo @susanamet In case you are still wondering, Nelly Yoa did indeed plagiarize an article I wrote back in March 2015 published on @devex. The 'core, constructive solutions' to help Sudanese youth that he cites as his own are word-for-word copied from here: https://t.co/XwySkw2n21

[Manola De Vos @Manonow]

@patstokes @theage @patstokes thanks for flagging! @theage Nelly Yoa's 'five core, constructive solutions' to help South Sudanese youth are word-for-word plagiarism from my March 2015 story published on Devex https://t.co/XwySkw2n21. Pls take down the article.
