Echoes from Ajijola Adebiyi: What Truly Matters in Our Shared Human Tapestry

Ajijola Adebiyi Street, an unmapped but vital pathway in Akute, Nigeria, offers a poignant glimpse into a reality often unseen by those in more privileged areas.

A Day in the Life of a PhD Researcher: The Relentless Pursuit of Knowledge

As a researcher, my days are a whirlwind of intellectual pursuit and disciplined routine. From the moment I wake, my mind is already buzzing with problems to solve and theories to refine.

Despite the occasional frustrations—dead ends in research, the weight of deadlines, and the inevitable self-doubt—I remind myself of the impact this journey holds. Each small step forward contributes to a larger tapestry of knowledge. It’s the passion to discover and the hope of making a difference that keeps me moving.

The Ikorodu Mafia

The long, early commutes to my Peninsula office were a defining feature of my early career. But those journeys were far from solitary. They were a tapestry of interactions with fellow commuters, men and women whose lives intertwined with mine.
