アメリカ大学院の出願締め切りが来月に迫ってきたので、今年は審査のVice Chairを務めていることもあり、公開できる範囲で選考を勝ち抜くコツをアップデートしました。AIや政策の影響で何もかも大きく変わりそうなので参考程度に

I’m recruiting PhD students to join my group through the PhD programs in Interdisciplinary Design and Media @NU_CAMD (Dec. 1) and CS @KhouryCollege (Dec. 15)!
I’m looking for students interested in developing social media algorithms that reflect societal values, with opportunities to work on this NSF-funded project and beyond. nsf.gov/awardsearch/show-awa…
Please share with students who may be interested. I’d appreciate your help spreading the word!

It's official! I defended my PhD in September and my thesis was accepted yesterday morning! Been in school for 20.5 years (13 for K-12, 3 for undergrad, 4.5 for PhD) and it's hard to believe my time as a student is finally coming to an end, but I am excited for the next chapter!

Looking back, secondary school was full of people with incredible potential. Some were brilliant academically, some could make an entire classroom laugh, others were naturally witty, outspoken, fearless or exceptionally creative. There was so much raw talent around us.

Entitlement is often why people give up so easily.
When you believe effort should guarantee outcomes, every delay feels like injustice, every difficulty like an undeserved burden and every rejection like a personal insult.
You become more concerned with what you think you deserve than with what the process demands. Patience becomes difficult when expectation has already convinced you that the reward is overdue.

Hmm God will bless Iya Hameedah for me, her very first counsel when I told her I wasn't coming back home after NYSC was a prayer and then:
“Yóò bùn mí, yóò bùn mí ni tálákà fi ń dẹrú olówó.”
“It is through the constant expectation that the wealthy will give him something that the poor man makes himself a slave to the wealthy.”
The deeper meaning is about the loss of independence that comes from perpetual expectation. When you become convinced that another person holds the answer to your circumstances, you gradually surrender your agency to them, sometimes without their knowledge or even their consent.
The bondage begins with the expectation, long before anyone makes a promise.

One thing life has taught me is, your morals in most cases, are determined by circumstance. You will absolutely find yourself in a position you once judged

“You have to provide value,” “Why should they take time out of their busy day to speak with you?” “They already hear this everyday, think outside the box,” etc.
It’s exhausting. I just wanna make friends or find common ground for a mutually beneficial relationship.
Lolsss,
The ignorance of some of you is beyond redemption.
So, it's the Oyo State government that's paying alawee now?? 😂😂😂
Find better thing do opposition abbeggii.

The sheer number of variables that must align for a good person to also be the right spouse for you is quite astonishing when you think about it.
Their Deen,temperament, upbringing, family, in-laws, parenting instincts, conversational depth, physical attraction, background, values, even the particular flaws you can live with and the ones they can tolerate in you.
And beyond all these, the timing of your lives, the circumstances of your meeting, and your capacity to keep choosing each other as you both change.
So when you find someone whose virtues suit your needs, whose imperfections you can bear, and whose presence makes the responsibilities of marriage easier to fulfil, you begin to appreciate how much of it was beyond your own planning.
A compatible spouse is one of those remarkably particular gifts from Allah, so carefully suited to you that the more you contemplate the variables that couldn't be accidental, the more your gratitude deepens.

When I got laid off from Microsoft, I got into a company in Lagos that felt paying 600k naira a month was doing me a favour. I had to take the offer to keep body and soul together.
Was there for 6 months until I fell out with the MD and started looking out. That was when I started my training outfit but couldn't quite get traction.
Anyway, after leaving this NGO, I spent another 5 months in the wilderness, literally. Ate rejections almost every other day. Was living on the goodwill of friends and relations. Basically wondering what to get out of life.
An Antler rep came knocking at the time and was in the process of fast tracking my application to the Antler cohort at Kenya. Guess what? My passport had expired. Ran to go fast track my passport, after a few days emailed the partner but was told it was too late.
I remember laying in my room laughing hysterically, mulling to myself, "who I offend?"
Thankfully at that time, I applied to Andela and the process started for another 2 months. I got into Andela and my monthly salary was my previous annual salary. This trend continued in a subsequent company. Use am run one or two that year.
But the point is, while I was enjoying this new reality, I asked myself, "why did you worry all those times?" In hindsight, there was no reason to. I should have just chilled for 5 months, enjoyed myself.
But we are human and can only understand life in hindsight. As long as you believe this it will work out for you: EVERYTHING will turn out better than you expected, just stop worrying.

don’t trade your solitude for anything.
everything in this world is temporary. sorrow, grief, love, people, everything comes and goes.but solitude is yours. It’s something you can always return to. Something that stays with you, no matter what leaves.
Never lose that.

People are typically bridges to the lessons we need to learn and places we need to get to.
Be careful the things dishonour, resentment and mediocrity can rob you off getting from the people God sends your path.

What if I told you there’s a university in Russia where students from over 160 countries come together to study, research and build their futures? 🌍🇷🇺
And guess what? I got to experience it firsthand!
DAY 2 OF MY RUSSIA EXPEDITION: RUDN UNIVERSITY, MOSCOW!
Founded in 1960, RUDN University carries a remarkable history. In 1961, it was named after Patrice Lumumba, a prominent figure in Africa’s struggle for independence. Imagine that connection between Africa and a university thousands of kilometres away!
But the history wasn’t even my favourite part.
As a Chemistry graduate from the University of Ilorin, I was particularly excited to explore the university’s academic environment.
From Medicine to Agricultural Engineering, we learned about research in biotechnology, molecular analysis, smart agriculture and sustainable ecosystems.
One presentation that caught my attention highlighted how technology is being applied to agriculture, from monitoring land resources to developing solutions for more sustainable cities.
And just when I thought the day couldn’t get more interesting, we also visited a radio studio called ‘Mic Live’🎙️.
From science and research to microphones and broadcasting, I was getting a glimpse of two worlds I am genuinely passionate about.
What stayed with me most was the idea of an institution bringing people from different countries and academic backgrounds together through education.
I came to Russia for an international journalism competition, but every stop is opening my eyes to possibilities far beyond the competition itself.
From UNILORIN to RUDN, I am learning that education can take you places you never imagined. ❤️
If you had the opportunity to study abroad, what course would you choose?
