As a PhD student, normalise engaging with others in your field. If possible, identify a mentor or colleague or collaborator who has a PhD that can help you when you feel like you cannot go on. These little habits will get you to the finish line over your brilliance.

In all you do, be bold and confident with or without money or title. Remember, you were not born with any of it.

I enjoyed watching the flight data too. Very educative.
Whenever I am on an aircraft, rather than watch movies, all I want is for the infotainment screen to show me the flight's time data; how long since departure from destination, and how much time is left to arrive at destination. I do this on all international flights. On domestic flights, I had never gotten this service, until yesterday when I flew Ibom Air's Airbus A220-300 series from Abuja to Lagos. The screen is smaller, but since it is just for this purpose, it serves perfectly. And it works!! I continued to monitor time to destination until we touched down. The aircraft was also VERY clean. Perhaps it is one of their recently received machines, but it was a nice ride.

This is the new school fees schedule for some Faculty in ABU Zaria. It is well!
NELFUND is there to cover tuition whether fees are increased or not. Universities are going through a lot only a few would understand.

Wonderful.
New York City, wetin dey sup? It was a joy to commemorate 34 years of the Nigerian Day Parade alongside the many Nigerian New Yorkers who fill our city with life. From the entrepreneurs whose businesses strengthen our neighborhoods, to the sounds of Afrobeats pouring out of graduation parties in Southeast Queens, and the aroma of Agege bread calling out to passersby in Brooklyn — the impact of Nigerian New Yorkers is felt across the five boroughs. Our city is richer in culture, stronger in community, and more vibrant because of your contributions.

Aameen. I love this "Also, having kids means paying a debt for the same sacrifice your parents made for you decades ago. This means you have to work for them too, just like your parents did." Spot-on. Imagine if half of the people in the world dislike procreation. Every one will fill the vacuum. One of the reason countries with low birth rates always incentives child bearing and children. Humans are the world. There is no world without humans.
Having kids is one of the greatest blessings in life. Kids stand as the greatest motivation to make someone work and succeed, knowing full well that there are people totally relying on you because you brought them into this world. Also, having kids means paying a debt for the same sacrifice your parents made for you decades ago. This means you have to work for them too, just like your parents did. May Allah bless us with pious, successful kids who are memorisers of the Qur’an, and make them a means of creating a berth for us in Jannatul Firdaus.

Prospective/current PhD students. Listen. The sweet and bitter experience of the PhD is having a supervisor. You have to know how to deal with it. The name suggests that he/she will be your guide, sometimes it happens that he/ she is more an obstacle than a help. So learn not to rely completely on your him/her but to stand your ground on yourself and instead of asking always the supervisor for help, explore and exploit your network to get your things done. To do this, you need to network from day 1 of your PhD. Take every chance possible to know other PhD student from your lab, Faculty,and university. Find ways to know other professors and so on. Try to understand who is doing what and who may be a good collaborator in future and who may even help you when you will have trouble with a specific topic. Know that for genuine reasons, your supervisor may not be available all the time for your every needs. Remember, a PhD trained you to be an independent thinker and collaborators and not a 'puppet'. So, take charge of your journey.

My rent is higher than feeding cost. We live in the heart of my town.
This is valid only in Nigeria, feeding ain’t up to 50% of rent in many places abroad.

I love this detailed perspective about a wife and a mother. A smart woman you are. Please keep it up. I remember a colleague will flex by saying "I can't wake up early to cook for my kids". Same person will need to be at work by 8:30 am in Lagos. The irony is that she will come to the office and disturb those of us who had come to the office with our lunch pack. We know their types!
When I started having children, I woke up at night to attend to them and went back to sleep. When they became toddlers and started school, I was up before or at least 6am every weekday. Once I got them ready and in school, either by school bus or by taking them myself, I would get back home and sleep to my heart's content till it was time to pick them up. That a wife wakes before 7am doesn't mean she is sleep deprived or a slave. In fact, a stay-at-home mum gets more sleep than a 'career' woman. I have realised that a lot of people on Twitter take things on a surface level, with no depth in reasoning or thinking. That is why a man will say his wife wakes before 7am and they will start to throw tantrums and look for ways to insult him or his wife. Funny enough when he heaps appreciation,lavishes gifts and praises on her, they go mute. These same women wake up before 5am, jump buses, and exchange perfume smells with strangers early in the morning, drive with sleepy, swollen eyes to go and report to a man or their fellow women in their offices. A woman's life is in stages and every stage comes with a routine. I followed that routine until my last child entered boarding house. Now, I sleep till whenever I like. Sometimes, when I have some jobs, I sleep by midnight and wake around 1pm the following day. Sometimes, if my husband is home and needs to go out, I just rise to lock the door and go back to sleep. As a woman, wife, and mother, everything is in stages. A routine at a particular stage does not define the woman or her husband. Different things and strategies are required at different stages. It is not as if some of you women don't know. You do. But na una know wetin una dey fight.

This is for new PhD students. Do you know top-down study method? As a PhD student, you are expected to know a lot and in details. But, do not start researching about the topic of your PhD by using single paper. It's a waste of your precious time. Instead, do a top-down study and start from REVIEW ARTICLES. Those articles will give you a broad and updated overview of the state of the art of your field. From there, you will see relevant articles to your work through their references and citations. Doing the contrary will be stressful and frustrating. Remember, every day a lot of papers, some even redundant are published about the same topic. You can never tell who is right and who is not and if the info is relevant or not. The best way is to read different reviews and make your idea about what is going on. Also, the reviews will highlight the current challenges of your field. Ensure you are reading review articles published within the last 3 years and published in top-tier peer-reviewed journals in your field (very important). Note: For my PhD, I read multiple review articles and this enabled me to publish four review articles in top-tier journals including Fuel, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews (Elsevier), Journal of Thermal Analysis and calorimetry (Springer Nature) and Biofuels, Biorefining and Bionergy (Wiley).

South Sudanese top the list of the 'blackest' people on earth. We have them plenty here. 'Deep' black and tall. What a combo!
My last visit to Phoenix, AZ was perhaps my first time meeting someone from Sudan. I saw a whole different shade of Black that day and I was like, damn! This one is on another level. 😂😂
