My visits to RUDN University, Ural Federal University, Kazan Federal University and Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University gave me a new perspective on education in Russia.
Beyond the beautiful campuses and academic environments, the experience exposed me to diverse learning, opportunities, international exposure and possibilities for academic growth…..As a young graduate aspiring to further my education, these visits have only strengthened my desire to become part of this academic community someday.
Russia has so much to offer in education, and I hope more young Nigerians get to discover these opportunities.
Perhaps, one of these universities will be my next academic destination….Who knows? 😊❤️

Hi Everyone, please I need your help.
I’ve battled Keloid since I was 2 as a result of the first ear piercing which was done at birth and was done wrongly.
My parents have gone through several options given to them and it keeps reoccurring.
I’ve done several surgical removal that I can’t even keep count both in general hospitals and private hospitals and they always finish up with kenalog as usual, I did cryotherapy for 2years with a popular Bumps clinic and the pain from the procedure almost paralyzed the left part of my body as it became weaker and I couldn’t use it, still it resurfaced.
Since 2015 I’ve been in and out of the hospital over this keloid, one general hospital suggested removing the whole ear which might cause another issue as it could still grow again.
I’ve been going through excruciating pains, every single day of my life I’m in pains, I’ve been popping painkillers like who’s taking candy, I barely sleep at night
Most days I’m awake till morning, once it’s night I get scared cos the pains becomes unbearable.
Sometimes I take sleeping pills just to get through the night.
I can’t go out, I can’t even show up for my business, my parents and siblings have had to give up their finances every single year because of me. Last year November, my sister single-handedly took care of the bills for the procedure I did.
At some point the Keloid started to accumulate abscess, it becomes so much that I’ve had to go through drainage process, I did one last year as well.
And all of these have made the keloid very aggressive and it grows faster by the day, the last removal procedure I did was in April of last year, the growth you’re seeing in frame 1 is just 1year and 7months growth which is unusually fast.
Since I finished my service year I’ve been at home because I couldn’t work with this condition, I even had to let go of a few job opportunities I was recommended for with the hope of getting this done before I fully commit.
A doctor I met recommended LASUTH earlier this year and since May I’ve been trying to get booked for surgery, initially I was booked for surgery but I wasn’t told everything it entailed, my first surgery date was September 11th and it was moved later on due to the strike.
I was opportuned to secure a consultation again with the Burns and Plastic unit (BPSU) yesterday in LASUTH and the consultant put me through everything I needed for the keloid to not reoccur.
He said I needed at least 2 Radiotherapy sessions of which one has to be done exactly 24hrs after the surgical removal and then another few weeks after.
After which I have to undergo chemotherapy and then post op care which includes injections, drugs,silicone creams, and any other recommended care.
The Radiotherapy is to be done in LUTH (I was given a reference letter for it) after making enquiries in LUTH, the estimate of one radiotherapy session was given at 2.5m, and I’ll be needing 2sessions which sums up to 5m. Then the surgery for the removal of the Keloid costs 1.2m and I’ve been able to come up with that. Then after the surgery I’m to undergo chemotherapy and post op care but I have not been told how much that would cost, so I am unsure of the entire cost of that but the estimation according to what I’ve researched is about 2m.
LASUTH have given me November 19th for my next and last consultation before the removal and this simply means I have to come up with the money for everything before then.
So in total what will be needed for the successful surgery and post op care is 8.2m of which I’ve already raised 1.2m and I’m left to source for 7m before the 19th of November.
This was really really hard for me to do as I have never done this before but this is my last resort as I have exhausted all my options and I have spent more than 6months alone trying to get booked with LASUTH.
Please help me get my life back together 🙏
Any amount will go a long way🙏

I'm actively looking for climate finance roles.
Remote preferably, if onsite (not Lagos) my health is a huge concern and I don't have the strength currently to be on medication everyday.
Ps: I'm begging you. My health is a huge concern before you people turn this tweet to something else but I know that you people will do as it pleases you guys.
People have asked, “Why a pageant for disability advocacy?” Or “Why a fashion runway show?”
Here’s why.
At @mistyglamcorp, @IncluNorm and the Advocacy Pageant Network, we’re taking platforms that have traditionally excluded people with disabilities and visible differences and transforming them into platforms for leadership, advocacy, representation, and empowerment.
Since we organized Nigeria’s first Albinism Advocacy Pageant, our queens and contestants have continued to create impact long after the event ended. They are leading awareness campaigns, organising empowerment initiatives, mentoring others, challenging harmful stereotypes, raising funds for important causes, advocating for disability inclusion, and using their voices to create change within the albinism community and beyond.
That’s the legacy we want to build. Not just beauty queens, but community leaders. Not just runway models, but advocates. Not one-day events, but movements that continue creating opportunities long after the cameras are gone.
Now, we’re preparing for our next chapter, the Advocacy Runway Show, a first-of-its-kind runway bringing together 100 models with disabilities and visible differences, alongside the second edition of the Albinism Advocacy Pageant.
To make this vision a reality, we’re looking for partners who believe in building a more inclusive creative industry.
We’re inviting:
- Sponsors & Corporate Partners
- Foundations & Development Organisations
- Beauty & Fashion Brands
- Makeup Artists and hairstylists
- Photographers & Videographers
- Media Houses
- Designers & Stylists
- Production Partners
- Volunteers and Changemakers
If you’d like to use your expertise, platform, products, or resources to help us create history while advancing disability inclusion in fashion, beauty, media, and modelling, we’d love to hear from you.
You can reach out to me personally in the DMs or email : [email protected], or send a WhatsApp message to the team at 0704 870 4115. Thank you for your support in advance. 🙏🏽

With this my unseriousness abi? 😂😂
Well, let me tell you what anyone looking at my application packet took away:
- Undergrad: BGS and Valedictorian from a University that uses psychometric assessments to select the best students from Africa
- During my undergraduate studies I had interned in 3 top organizations: as the first ever intern at GTB corporate bank division, KPMG, and Andersen. I also co founded an initiative that won the QYL award
- Immediately after undergrad, I resumed a full time role in an insurtech and raised/managed over $12M and impacted over 1M households across 16 countries (in the 3.6years that I worked, I left as the Business Development Lead and was the youngest manager in the No.1 insuretech in EA.)
Organizations like the FAO, BMGF, Shell Foundation, the WB had either done a profile on me, invited me to speak or published my work
I had also been seen in multiple national presidential villas (including Nigeria) as I was designing national disaster risk models
I think they saw conviction, resilience, commitment to excellence and positive change on human lives. It was a profile 8 years in the making.
It was also because I left secondary with a desire to not be held back by my background, so at 17, I wrote a 10 year plan and did everything that I demanded of myself.
Not sure what to do after your BSc?
Here are professional courses and certifications that can make you more employable.
You can always try the ones outside your field.
Before I'm 45, I want to have done enough meaningful work that when people talk about Igbo Nigerians who have impacted the world, my name is part of that conversation. A girl can dream.
@osunsinatolu@edubridge_ng Good morning Sir. Thank you so much for this opportunity, I am really grateful 🙏. I can't send a DM, but my email is [email protected] . Thank you once again
