Volunteering is difficult.

I know it's meant to benefit the community and mostly unpaid, but it's still difficult.

Having to give up hours of your schedule researching, cleaning up waste, educating young kids or mentoring, conducting and coordinating outreaches, designing flyersvor graphics or web, managing the social media websites etc etc are not easy endeavours.

I appreciate and acknowledge people giving to their communities, showing up consistently in these not so little ways. You guys are the realest.

One thing my journey at Helix Biogen Institute has given me is the ability to explain science more clearly and confidently.

This growth didn’t happen in isolation — it came from:

📘Engaging lectures where staff broke complex ideas into relatable stories.

📘Seminars and classes with the Director of Science Dr. Oladipo Elijah Kolawole (Ph.D) who made me realize clarity isn’t about “dumbing things down” but about building bridges of understanding.

📘Conversations with colleagues that showed me there’s more than one way to explain the same concept, and sometimes the simplest analogy wins.

For me, theose moments were ecognizing that explaining science isn’t just about what you know, but about how you can connect it to the realities of others.

If I can explain antibiotic resistance to my colleague in the laboratory as well as to my aunt in the market without losing the essence, then I’ve truly understood it.

That’s what makes science powerful: when it travels beyond journals and conferences and actually sparks awareness, action, and change.

Your Project is not Complete until You have Evaluated it...

That home-baker that asks you to give feedback of the flaky meat pies you ordered and gulped down with icy cold coke does so for a reason, in the same way that the Uber driver pleads with you with pitiful eyes to give them a 5 star rating, even if the drive was like that of Hausa riders on bike. 😶

It's all for the purpose of monitoring and evaluation, the same way we project managers do after organizing a project. .

Many people think a project is “done” once the planning and organization are complete. But in reality, that’s only the beginning.

🌸Monitoring and Evaluation (M\&E) is just as important as planning, because it tells us whether all that effort actually made a difference.

🌸 Monitoring tracks progress in real-time — Are activities happening on schedule? Are resources being used properly?

🌸 Evaluation looks deeper; Did the project achieve its goals? What worked, what didn’t, and what lessons can be carried forward into the next project?

🌸 Without M\&E, projects risk becoming busy activities with no clear results. With it, organizations can learn, improve, and ensure accountability to stakeholders.

🌸 My experience at Herbode has shown me that projects are not just about delivering outputs, but about measuring impact. And impact can only be seen when we take M\&E seriously.

These days I have been like "who is stealing my money because what do you mean I spent 500 in a week?" Only to calculate my expenses and for everything to add up.

Tfare and food, you do this one 😔

Dear exemplified fictionfam, you read any fiction this Saturday?

I read PURPLE HISBICUS. Yea, the book I recommended for this weekend.

I knew I would discover the nuances i had missed while reading initially. It's always a thing of joy gor me to re-read books, it gives me the realization and opportunity to appreciate the authors.

How can it be that a person is like Eugene, one who can donate to charities without expectations, or give freely to community while his relatives are lacking?

It's not like the Bible mentions punishing people for refusing to conform with religion.
I felt it deeper when Aunty Ifeoma told Mama that how could Eugene be the judge? He should let God do his judging.

I hope nobody meets anyone like Eugene. Over religiosity is never a good thing.

Adichie is so bright, how could she write that at just 26? She's super intelligent.

I like flowers for their aesthetics and serenity.
But I don't understand what people smell in them, like what are you trying to pick up?

Innovation isn’t only about technology or tools — sometimes, it’s about reimagining structures.

At Helix Biogen Institute, one innovative idea that stood out to me is the potential for development of capacity-building research organizations in Ogbomoso.

Why does it matters:

📘Strengthening local research institutes creates a hub that attracts scientists and early-career researchers, turning Ogbomoso into a growing research destination.

📘It eases the strain on the few existing organizations concentrated in mega cities like Lagos and Ibadan, creating a more balanced distribution of opportunities.

📘 Beyond science, this shift would drive local economic development and position Ogbomoso as a contributor to Nigeria’s scientific landscape, not just a spectator.

📘For me, the exciting part of this idea is how it blends science with community development. Research shouldn’t just advance knowledge; it should spark regional growth, empower young researchers, and bridge the gap between innovation and society.

What if more towns became mini research hubs instead of everything clustering in mega cities? Would we see faster, more inclusive progress?

Have you planned your weekend yet?

Are you the party/owanbe geng for today? Or you are visiting family/acquaintance?
Then the geng with their favourites, their phones😌 They can't go unnoticed 😌

If you are like me that'll be staying home, here's a book recommendation to keep your brain active and engaged aside from scrolling; "Purple Hisbicus"
Drop that self-help book and immerse yourself in this coming of age story, a blend of sweet citrus and lemony melancholy by Adichie.

Don't tell me you've read it, re-read it and see the nuances you missed while you read it initially.

From me to you, have a wonderful Saturday 🌸🌸🌸💚

Dirty Data – A Data Analyst’s Nightmare

Today I want to talk about how dirty data is a real pain in the ass of data analysts.

Inconsistencies in data, especially differences in formatting, can be such a pain. Imagine trying to merge two datasets, only to find one has dates in MM/DD/YYYY and the other in DD/MM/YYYY.

Or names in one file are all caps, while in another they’re lowercase. These small issues can cost hours of cleaning before you even start analyzing.

But formatting is just the start. Dirty data shows up in so many ways:

📘Missing values: Blank cells that throw off averages, models, or dashboards.

📘Duplicates: The same record showing up twice (or ten times).

📘Typos & inconsistencies: "Abuja" vs. “abuja,” “USD” vs. “US\$” 🤥 the system treats them as different when they’re really the same.

📘Outdated or irrelevant data: Old entries that no longer reflect reality but still sit in the system.

📘Poor data entry practices: This is especially common if the data was imputed by humans. Humans make mistakes, and they ripple into reports, decisions, and even strategy.

At the end of the day, analysts often spend 70–80% of their time cleaning data instead of actually analyzing it. E shock you?😵

📘The lesson? Good data governance and consistent data entry rules are not “nice to have;" they’re the backbone of reliable analysis.

For my fellow data people: what’s the worst dirty data issue you’ve ever faced?
