-Kiss the truth!

Agba didirin!!
You keep shouting kiss the truth while you're an enemy of the truth.

EreluRoz:
It's getting scarier. This is not good, let the president do something fast.

Lol he's already a goner and there's nothing he can do.

I almost threw up while viewing this thread.

Wasting of tax-payers money.

Absolute nonsense.

I'm sure your darling daddy tinubu is privy to it but you can't call him out

I helped an Awalokan with his green card application.

In June 2024 I received an email message from someone from Nigeria. He is a professor in one of the universities in Nigeria and hails from Ekiti State; a Yoruba. I will call him John here, to protect his privacy. In his email, John requested for my assistance with a letter to support his US Green Card (GC) application. I asked John how he knew me, and he said from reading my work. Okay! I get that response a lot from people who reach out to me; I too, am proud of my achievements in the field. 😃😃

For those who might not know, the US has a specific GC category called EB2-National Interest Waiver (NIW). NIW is offered to highly qualified scientists having a minimum of PhD who have something to offer the US. Simply put, if you have advanced knowledge that is of National Interest (NI) to the US, then certain aspects of the general green card requirement can be waived (W) for you towards obtaining the GC. NIW is typically afforded to foreign scientists who are already working in the US on visa, although it cannot be ruled out for scientists who apply from outside the country. To apply for NIW, you need to submit a load of paperwork to demonstrate the quality of your scientific achievements. Among the documents to submit include letters (the more letters you submit, the better for you; in my time I submitted 10) from other scientists who know about your work and who are not your father, mother, sibling, cousins, uncles, aunties or any other type of relative. Simply put, the letter writers must not know you except on a professional basis. I did not know John before he contacted me. But he knew me. He claimed to have cited my papers in his own work and that is enough to establish a professional connection. I googled his work and found out that he was being truthful. Box checked.

Now, the 2023 election and how it played out with respect to crude tribalism and sectional hatred for other Nigerians (in this case towards Igbos) by Tinubu supporters from Yorubaland (aka Awalokans) is no longer breaking news. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to relish any opportunity provided by the suffering and disappointment of Tinubu supporters due to his lack of performance and his penchant for being insensitive towards the citizens, including Yorubas. With that in mind, I searched for John’s name on Facebook and went through his profile down to the election campaign period. During the search, I discovered that John was a rabid Tinubu supporter and had made nasty comments about Igbos and how they cannot be allowed to be president, even though Obi maintained consistently that he was not an Igbo candidate. At that point I was very furious and decided against providing a letter for John. He could not vote for a bad and corrupt president and now wants to japa out of Nigeria. He should stay back and eat his own vomit. Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind, until the better part of me took over. Long story short, I wrote a support letter for John and got my American Associate to also write one for him. I am not as selfish, mean and wicked as some other Nigerians would be. Whether John is eventually granted the NIW by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is another story. It is tough getting it from outside the US, especially if you are applying from certain countries with questionable quality of ADVANCED research. Sadly, Nigeria is one such country. John studied abroad; so, he appears better than the average Nigeria-based researcher.

Now, I challenge anyone from Tinubu’s tribalism infested camp to prove that they can help anyone who is not in their camp in such a deep way as I did (yes, anything to assist a Nigerian to japa, especially at this high level, is deep). Una no fit; the milk of human kindness no dey for una blood.

============================================================================
June 20, 2024
Dear USCIS Adjudicator,
Subject: Letter in Support of Professor John Bleep’s Application for US Permanent Residency
I write this reference letter to provide my support for the application by Dr. John Bleep for the United States permanent residency under the EB-1A National Interest Waiver category. Before highlighting the scientific achievements of Dr. Bleep, it is germane that I spotlight my credentials in relation to this letter. A US citizen, I am the Chief Scientist and Head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry at ABCD. Prior, I was a Senior Development Scientist at the International Fertilizer Development Center, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and a Research Assistant Professor at Utah State University, Logan. At ABCD, I am responsible for the management, research direction, business development (grantsmanship), and oversight of a group of highly talented researchers and analysts working in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology implications and applications, and on food and environmental safety regulatory activities for the State. My research more generally concerns the impact of naturally occurring and man-made chemicals on crop performance, food quality and safety, and the role of soil chemistry in these processes. The major focus has been on nanomaterials as agrochemicals. I am an authority in this area, having published over 130 research articles with a H-Factor of 49 and nearly 13,000 citations as of June 2024, according to Google Scholar. I obtained my PhD in natural sciences from the University of Jena Germany, under the auspices of the International Max Planck Research School for Chemical Ecology.
For full disclosure, I have never worked with Dr. Bleep. However, as we work in the same general scientific domain, I am aware of his research and have become impressed with his work. As you know, there are pressing challenges currently facing global agriculture and food security. Dr Bleep’s research is crucial in this context as it focuses on sustainable soil management practices to remediate and enhance the productivity and health of agricultural soils. One of Dr Bleep’s original scholarly contributions is the development of nature-based solutions for remediating the contamination of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in agricultural soils. The innovative work, through thermal pyrolysis of agricultural wastes into biochar and use as a soil amendment, is particularly noteworthy. In these studies, Dr. Bleep successfully demonstrated the potentials of orange peel- and cocoa pod -derived biochar at low thermal pyrolysis to reduce cadmium (Cd) mobility in soils, which in turn improved the nutrient content of food crops. This innovative approach not only stabilizes contaminants but also contributes to soil health by adding carbon and nutrients, highlighting the ecological and sustainable benefits of his research, which will especially benefit the US agricultural sector. An output from this work can be found at (website address)
Dr. Bleep's research has extended to the application of nanotechnology in agriculture. In this regard, he has conducted comprehensive studies on the impact of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in plants, particularly focusing on their potential to reduce the uptake and toxicity of PTEs in food crops. His work with copper (Cu) nanoparticles on cowpea plants, for example, provided valuable insights into the environmental behavior and impacts of ENMs, offering a foundation for future research in this emerging field. His study involving the use of K-edge XANE technique to unravel nanoparticle-crop interactions contributes strongly to prior studies by providing novel insights into the toxicity mechanisms of nano-Cu in plants. The findings from this study were published in 2019 in a reputable Elsevier journal (website address) and has garnered over 20 citations. In a nutshell, the study revealed crucial details on the biotransformation of Cu within plant tissues, contributing to our understanding of nanoparticle-induced phytotoxicity and its mitigation. His nano research is instrumental in developing strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of nanomaterials in agriculture, ensuring food safety and security. The significance of this research to farmers, especially cowpea farmers in the US, is that it emphasizes the adoption and effective management of nano-Cu-based pesticides in the field.
Furthermore, Dr. Bleep has made other landmark contributions in nanotechnology for sustainable crop protection and food production through the innovative use of nanoparticles as foliar ameliorant for cadmium toxicity in crop plants. For instance, in a work published in 2020 (website address), the foliar application of nano titanium dioxide bolstered the antioxidant defense mechanism; reduced the Cd-induced oxidative stress; and enhanced the levels of essential micronutrients. Due to the significance of the findings to the scientific community, the research has garnered over 80 citations since its publication. This study has profound implications for the US, given the significant challenge to agricultural productivity and food safety posed by soil degradation and contamination in the country. His future research endeavours in the US, which would continue to be aimed at improving soil health and addressing the contamination of agricultural lands, align with national priorities such as those outlined by the EPA and USDA, especially with the Closer to Zero Initiative involving eliminating Cd, lead, and other toxic elements in human food. His work will undoubtedly complement ongoing efforts in the country to promote nutrition security, food safety, and sustainable agriculture.
In summary, Dr. Bleep is a highly accomplished researcher whose work has made substantial contribution to the fields of phytonanoremediation and nano-enabled agriculture. With a H-Index of 21, his body of work, represented in 64 published articles, has been cited 1550 times, based on Google Scholar record as of June 2024 (website address). His interdisciplinary approach combining plant ecology, chemistry, and nanotechnology, positions him as a leader in developing solutions to some of the most critical issues facing global food security and environmental health, issues that are no less pertinent for the US. Thus, I have no doubt that Dr. Bleep will continue to excel and make significant advancements in his field in the US, if granted the NIW. Please feel free to contact me for any questions you may have concerning this letter.
Yours sincerely,

You've done well sir even though majority of them can't do what you did.
The reward is surely coming..

Cluelessness at it's peak!!

The Federal Capital feeling the brunt of tilibu in full

I would not be suprised if the official pump price jumps from 690 to 800 and something.

You know they don't officially announce increase in pump price, you wake up and smell the coffee yourself

Whether ur are APC or PDP or LP, we are all in the shit together

No oo, According to hellanus....we apc supporters are really enjoying the economy infact we buy rice at 25k per bag and fuel for #200 once we flash our apc cards. It's only obi and obedients that are suffering...

Everybody must get sense by force

Anyone telling you religion does not matter is deceiving you. Do not fall for that. The events in Kaduna state should make any Christian to wise up.
Such a ticket in Nigeria of today is evil and wicked. Stand up for your faith and refuse to be Deceived .

You're right on point

helinues:
Typical Obi supporters. They are not only toxic but intolerance as well

I am a zombie for expressing my opinion about Obi's presidency.

Eish

I'm sure you exhibited much more intolerance and toxicity when campaigning for Buhari in 2015

Totilopussylick:
He is vibrant

Electrifying

Healthy and fit.

Intelligent and above all he appears to be more passionate about the citizens.

Yes o..But don't you think he needs to beef up security around himself

helinues:
Obi can't win the election, you guys should stop being optimistic

So says a zombie

Only the enemies of Nigeria will hate Obi..

Peter obi all the way
