Data professionals, go and read up on the Data Protection Bill signed into Law by the Federal Government
No, it is not about 100GB for data internet😂😂

STOP WRITING "STORIES". START WRITING RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS."
Most Nigerian students treat the Statement of Purpose (SOP) like a tragic autobiography. You talk about your background, your struggles, and how much you "want" the degree.
Here’s the hard truth from an Academic

Most researchers collect data first, then wonder why nobody reads their papers.
Start with the story.
The data comes after.

I'm glad the digital economy is taking a new shift.
Not just to journalists, there is an insurmountable volume of data available but it's either inaccessible due to lack of data infrastructure or it's being fragmented.

Did you know? Around 80% of digital data is unstructured — emails, PDFs, social posts, scans, audio.
A goldmine for journalists, but impossible to analyze without cleaning. New no-code tools now make data wrangling accessible to anyone, not just coders. twp.ai/4iwRTl

Data is inaccessible because there's no unified database where data can be found when looked up.
Data infrastructure should rank top on the priority list of African leaders.

I think when it comes to Data security, China has been very particular in protecting its data and made sure that it doesn't cross the borders. They gave a lot of importance to data sovereignty. It looks like, India has missed the bus with Indian data residing in the global cloud.

Exactly. Jargon forces the reader to pay a tax before they can even evaluate the idea.
A simple fix is a one-line footnote the first time a term appears: A brief plain-language definition.
You keep precision, but you stop losing capable readers to unnecessary lookup breaks.

The part of assuming the readers know all their jargon is so relatable. Why should we always take a break off to look up all the jargon used in a paper?
What happens to stating and then going ahead to explain even in a few words?

Africa’s demographic dividend is a real thing.. if African leaders won’t do the necessary stuff to take advantage of it .. be sure that external nefarious actors will. The use of young Africans as cannon fodder in the Russia -Ukraine war is a good example of this 🤔🤔😩😩

I can’t relate, maybe because I am not in STEM.

Here we go
Impactful research doesn’t start with noise. It starts with questions that matter.
This week on Researcher Spotlight, we feature Josephine Mide-Olubi, a Clinical Researcher and Nurse whose work critically examines the quality of plant-based milk as a healthy alternative to cow’s milk.
She’ll be discussing:
✓ what led her to this line of inquiry
✓ The methodological and practical challenges involved
and...
✓ The insights shaping her research outcomes
Researcher Spotlight is our weekly space for thoughtful conversations with African researchers doing rigorous, relevant work.
🕖 7 PM
📍 X Space
📅 This Thursday
Join the conversation. Learn from the work. Support the minds advancing African research.
