@omemiserum Don’t worry love, I’m inside the Universities that wrote the main dictionaries we use in the world.
Whatever I say, I’m right. That’s my own academic “Nepo” privilege.

Stop pulling out your hair needlessly.

@Amyuuz I certainly won’t be the last. My siblings after me are doing amazing. I’m a great role model and pace setter.

@ZimbabweMake Lolz You’re still where you are because you think about your life in terms of “wasted years”.

I enjoyed the time I spent studying. And oh I created a healthtech startup in the middle of all that.

You that did not “waste time”, care to elaborate what you achieved?

[Naija Geneticist @MkpoutoPius]

@Theophilusiga @OdilonJimmy You’re even bothering to answer him? If he was that smart he should have gotten admitted to Oxford or Cambridge. But what do I know.

In this wave of my feminism, my current response to patriarchy is to create systems that prioritise women.

Therefore, I am extremely pleased to announce the launch of the WomanUp Scholarship Programme.

The WomanUp Programme intends to raise a crop of excellent women who will excel in their academics and subsequent career, and move us significantly towards achieving gender equality.

I got into the UK recently and it made me remember that in 2023, I was denied a UK visa and the Home Office asked me to leave the UK immediately or I would be deported back to Nigeria through Ethiopia.

I had already been the UK for 5 years prior to this time and I had been on different student visas, and then a startup visa.

I was nearing the end of my valid startup visa, so I applied to renew my visa. The application for renewal was delayed for weeks until my current visa had expired, then I was told I was not eligible for the visa I applied for, and that I had overstayed and should leave immediately or risk being deported.

Below are the steps I took to fix that immigration issue. Someone might find it useful.
