[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

As someone who has worked in academia, I disagree with you. Because you do not have visibility on something does not mean it does not exist. How many of these university publications or PhD theses have you dug into before concluding they are useless?

You are deeply misunderstanding the entire purpose of a PhD. Not every research is supposed to become a commercial tech startup overnight. The core of a doctorate is to push the boundaries of human knowledge. A lot of the work happening in our labs provides theoretical frameworks and models meant for the further development of a specific field.

For example, in my field, a researcher could spend years developing a mechanistically guided machine learning model to optimize sustainable building materials. The fact that the project cannot be immediately useful for the ordinary people doesn’t mean it is useless. The thesis will create the deep blueprints that future engineers and industries will rely on to solve our infrastructure deficit. That is what it does.

Some projects are a means to a means for which another means will drive it to the end. This is when we can achieve scalability and commercialization. This doesn’t mean the upper works in the value chain are useless…

For specifics, Professor Samuel Achilefu's academic research led to the invention of cancer-seeing glasses used in global surgeries. He also relied on an existing blueprint to push the frontiers of his research. The same thing applies to Professor Oviemo Ovadje who researched and invented the Emergency Auto-Transfusion System right here to save lives across developing nations. I can count on and on…

A PhD should not be boxed into your narrow view of immediate commercial problem solving. The real problem in Nigeria is the huge disconnect between the gown and the town.

The government and private industries refuse to fund, incubate, or commercialize the brilliant solutions already sitting on our university shelves. Therefore, blaming the researchers for a lack of national development is pointing your finger at the wrong people.

Almost every woman I know personally has been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. You can't think it's okay to shut people up from speaking up about assault because some people lie. If you lie, you should face consequences - but that's not the conversation I'm having. Nor is it one I'm interested in having. How many of your male friends have they lied against? How many of your friends have actually assaulted women as vibes?? Women are terrified to go out. Women in their homes are not safe either. Ask your sisters. Ask your female friends and your girlfriends. Ask your wives. We're not all crazy. STOP RAPING WOMEN!!

2025 Lessons

1. Nobody is coming to save you.

2. Not everything that slows you down is holding you back.

3. The loudest people will get the applause, the position, the opportunities - whether or not they’re competent. If you do good work, talk about it.

4. If you decide to…

i don’t talk about this often, but with everything happening lately, I feel like it’s important to say it.

on 21/10/2020, i almost took my own life. Not because I wanted to die, but because my mind had completely worn me out. I was dealing with a mental breakdown I didn’t even know how to explain to anyone.

i felt overwhelmed, tired, and stuck in my own head, and it reached a point where living felt heavier than leaving.

at that time, my thoughts were constantly against me. every small mistake felt like proof that I was failing at life. i kept replaying things I could have done better, things I should have been stronger about, and it made me feel like I was a burden instead of a person.

on the outside, everything looked normal. i was still online, still tweeting, still laughing sometimes. but inside, I was quietly falling apart, and no one really teaches you how to ask for help when you don’t even understand what’s wrong with you.

that day, it felt like everything came crashing down at once. i remember thinking a lot about my mom and how much I loved her, and at the same time, feeling like I had disappointed her by not being “strong enough.”

in that moment, my mind convinced me that people would be better off without me. that’s how distorted things get when you’re not okay. so I tweeted, “Tell my mom I love her.” i wasn’t trying to be dramatic or get attention. in my head, that was me saying goodbye.

after I tweeted it, I didn’t feel emotional. I felt numb. and that numbness is dangerous because it feels calm, like you’ve finally stopped fighting.

i had already accepted whatever came next. But then something happened that I still think about till today. people noticed. mutuals I had never met in real life reached out. they checked in, asked if I was okay, stayed in my DMs, and refused to let me disappear quietly.

some of them didn’t have the right words. Some just kept talking. Some simply stayed present. and somehow, that human connection, imperfect as it was, pulled me back.

that night didn’t magically fix my life. I didn’t suddenly heal or become positive. I just stayed alive. and sometimes, that’s enough for that moment.

seeing the news about Lazywrita hurts because I recognize that place he was in. that deep tiredness. that silence. that feeling of carrying too much while still showing up online like everything is fine.

a lot of people don’t actually want to die; they just want the pain in their head to stop. and when you’ve been strong for too long, even breathing can start to feel like work.

i’m grateful I stayed. not because life became perfect, but because I’ve experienced moments I would have missed. laughter I didn’t think I’d feel again. growth that came slowly, quietly, over time.

if you’re reading this and you’re not okay, please know that your thoughts are not always telling you the truth. pain has a way of making you believe there’s no future, even when there is.

you don’t have to have everything figured out. you don’t have to be strong today. you just have to stay. reach out to someone. say something, even if it comes out messy. let someone interrupt the spiral.

i’m still here because a few people chose to care instead of scrolling past. i’ll never forget that.
rest in peace, Lazywrita. and to anyone silently struggling, your story is not over. please stay. 🤍

love, frey!

Read publicly. Read privately. Read long books. Read short stories. Read occasionally. Read constantly. Read quickly. Read slowly. Read romance. Read classics. Read nonfiction. Read to learn. Read for fun!

Read however, whatever and whenever you want! READ UNAPOLOGETICALLY!!!

People sharing how many books they read in 2025 and PhDs are just scrolling and smiling🤣

Explaining the value of reading fiction makes you (the explainer) look silly. Just keeps staring till the mumu gets uncomfortable. Why are you asking me why I like reading fiction? What is it to you anyway?

[AFO @Dr_Afo]

Let me paint a scenario for you
A lady comes to the general hospital in labour.
Labour progresses normally and she delivered a bouncing baby boy, but then it happens.
The placenta refuses to come out.
The time is 1:00AM
The medical officer on cal dons elbow length and does a manual evacuation.
He removes it successfully but upon inspection, he sees some flesh attached to the placenta.
He turns pale because he knows it's likely accreta.
Then the lady opens tap, blood gushes out uncontrollably.
He gives all the oxytocin in the world.
Nada.
Blood pressure crashes, 80/35mmhg
He is losing her.
She stops talking.
He calls for help but his senior MO has switched off his phone after working for 2 weeks straight and his consultant is 20km away.
They ask him to give the lady massive transfusion, that a locum surgeon will join him shortly.
He rushes to the blood Bank but they only have two compatible units.
He takes it and squeeze them in.
But she keeps crashing.
BP is 70/40mmhg
The MO has assisted a lot of hysterectomies so he decides to take her into the theater, at least he'll clamp the uterine arteries while waiting for the main surgeon.
On getting to theater, he learns that the person with the key to gen house isn't picking up.
20 minutes wasted.
The MO callS anaesthetist for like 30 minutes before she picks up.
By some luck, after packing uterus with 3 Foley's catheter and more than an hr of torrential bleeding, they rush her in.
BP is unrecordable.
Anaesthetist screams that it's a risky surgery and she needs three units of blood.
Husband and one nurse are donating.
The MO goes ahead with periop assisting, on getting to fascia, the patient flatlines and dies.
This is a fictional tale but the reality isn't far off.

[Sai Ishaya @Sai_Ishaya_]

I don't think people appreciate Nigeria's maternal mortality risk enough that's why this surprises them.

We account for almost 30% of all global maternal deaths despite having only about 2.6% of the world's population.

A Nigerian woman has a 1 : 25 lifetime risk of dying from pregnancy-related causes, for comparison, the risk in developed countries is 1 :4900.

This equates to approximately 205 women dying every day, or one woman every seven minutes.

If there's a high rate of maternal mortality, it almost always follows with a high rate of perinatal/under 5 mortality.

Nigeria is one of the most dangerous countries to be pregnant, give birth, or be a newborn/infant.

These are systemic issues that we can't wish away. If we like, we can continue to focus on petty tribal/ethnic conflicts instead of holding our leaders accountable.

[ADEWUYI Roseline Adebimpe @AdewuyiRoseline]

If birth control causes cancer, then wouldn’t married women who use it also face the same risks? Why is it even advised in the first place? What exactly makes it unsafe for single women but somehow acceptable for married ones? I genuinely want to understand this from a logical standpoint. Shouldn’t it be abolished for everyone, then?

[Queen • Brand Strategy & Marketing Psychology @QueenetWrites]

He’s the only child of his parents, and he’s been sitting in prison for almost three years… tortured, threatened, and moved from cell to cell like a criminal. All because he exposed what he shouldn’t have seen... What he saw and refused to stay quiet.

I spent my morning reading through his story. The details are excruciating. This story is not widespread, and that is what makes it even more painful. A young man is fighting for his life, and the country is hardly talking about it.

I’ll drop the full story tomorrow. It’s something every Nigerian should see.
