We grew up and realized nothing was as it seemed. The foodstuff that was so available in our houses that it almost became part of the natural landscape of the house, somebody had to spend hours of his everyday life to ensure that, but chose to shield us from knowing it. We've...

A Christian and a Lawyer analysis the longest verse in the Qur'an which primarily deals with the ethics of financial transactions, justice, accountability and the preservation of human rights.
Please listen and share.
Networking is sometimes overrated.
The yearning to network pushes you into spaces you're not liked, and therefore not respected, all in the name of a goal that may never be scored.
Learn to make your point without any preceding caveat.

Imagine the confidence, and he's not Cristiano Ronaldo.

I can't stand unsolicited marriage advice from friends. After coming back to Maid, one guy wanted to offer me advice about marriage, and he isn't even married yet. I told him it would be better to send the advice to my Opay account, sir. 😂😂😂

I have tremendous respect for both the West African postgraduate medical colleges and the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria (NPMCN). Both are reputable institutions contributing immensely to specialist training in Nigeria and across West Africa.
However, something I have observed from interactions with colleagues and recent experiences is that the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria appears to offer candidates a particularly encouraging examination experience, especially at the Part I level.
I have come to appreciate something about the NPMCN examination philosophy: it appears to reward effort, demonstrate fairness in assessment and give candidates room to earn marks across different components of the examination.
Every mark matters. Your performance in the various components contributes to your overall assessment. Even when a candidate feels that a particular section did not go well, there may still be opportunities to demonstrate competence and recover marks in other sections. So, never give up simply because one aspect of the examination seems challenging.
Another aspect worth appreciating is the assessment structure during the OSEC (Objective Structured Examination for Clinicals). Having two examiners independently assess a candidate provides an additional layer of assessment and helps reduce the influence of individual subjectivity. It reinforces the importance of structured, independent evaluation.
I have also heard encouraging accounts of the accessibility and supportive disposition of many NPMCN examiners and consultants. These are qualities that make a difference in postgraduate training and examinations.
This is not to suggest that the West African colleges are inferior or that their examinations are unfair. Both systems have their strengths, and candidates should prepare seriously for either examination. However, the NPMCN deserves recognition for an assessment approach that appears to give candidates meaningful opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge, clinical competence and effort.
My advice to residents in Nigeria is simple: If you are pursuing the West African postgraduate membership examination, seriously consider registering for the corresponding NPMCN examination as well, where eligible.
Do not put all your hopes in one examination pathway. Sometimes, having an alternative recognised postgraduate examination route can make a significant difference to your career progression.
The National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria deserves more appreciation. Beyond producing specialists, it should be recognised for the opportunities it provides residents to demonstrate their competence and progress in their chosen specialties.
Every mark matters. Every component counts. Keep pushing!

Looks like this humble paper has won 1st place at DSTU's VIII International Scientific and Practical Conference.
Alhamdulillah! 🎉
I presented a paper today at the “VII International Scientific and Practical Conference: Current State and Development Trends,” in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
The paper is "Big-Data Analytics Adoption and Direct Exporting: Evidence from 15 Countries." It asks a simple question: firms that use big-data analytics export far more often, but is that the technology, or the kind of firm that adopts it?
Using World Bank firm-level survey data on more than 18,000 establishments, I found that adopters are about 21 percentage points more likely to export. Once you account for firm size, ownership, management and digital capability, the gap shrinks to about 4 points and is no longer statistically significant. Technology adoption looks more like a marker of firm capability than an independent export effect.
Along the way, I also found and fixed a cross-country coding problem in the survey's export variable, which should help anyone else using this data.

Today, after seven years of work, The Law of the Sublime is out in the world.
When I started this book, I had an ambitious plan. I would go down the Amazon, find chimpanzees in the wilds of Africa, and cross the Gobi Desert, then write about those experiences of awe.
Then, on a hot August afternoon in 2018, I had a stroke while driving in Los Angeles. A blood clot cut off oxygen to my brain, and within seconds I lost consciousness. When I woke up in the hospital, I learned how close I had come to the point of no return. My left hand was frozen into a claw, and I could barely feel my left leg, but something strange happened.
On the ambulance ride home, I looked out at the people on the street, and for a moment I felt I could be inside their bodies and hear their thoughts. It was marvelous and weird, and I knew it was time to write this book.
I couldn't type, so I wrote every page by hand, dictated it, printed it out, and edited it all over again. I couldn't take the long hikes that had carried me through my six previous books. Then one afternoon I woke from a nap in my backyard to find a grasshopper inches from my face, and I understood that this small backyard would have to be my Amazon jungle. The lizards, the hummingbirds, the insects became my teachers.
My limits turned out to be a blessing. They forced me to find the Sublime in the simplest things, and that is what this book is about.
Most of us live inside a circle: an everyday consciousness shaped by culture, convention, and, more and more, technology. That circle keeps shrinking, and we grow bored and restless. Just outside it is the Sublime, a realm that is frightening and exciting at once, pulling us out of our comfort zones and opening us to a much wider reality. The book maps 12 points outside that circle, and each one is a different face of the Sublime.
Inside, you'll find stories of near-death encounters, astonishing discoveries, and radical changes of consciousness, along with exercises and meditations so you can feel the Sublime yourself, not just read about it.
The Sublime doesn't require travel or exotic adventures. It only requires a new pair of eyes for the reality all around you.
The Law of the Sublime is available now in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook.
Thank you for your support of my work. I hope you enjoy reading this book, and I look forward to hearing your feedback.
With gratitude,
Robert Greene
