This one eh, you're OYO

but sha, get a Pregnancy test done, if negative, run!
What did i say? RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNN

THIS #NIGERIAN GENIUS AT #NASA IS THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO EVER EARN PHD IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

Dr Wendy A. Okolo is the first black woman to obtain a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington and the 2019 winner of the BEYA Global Competitiveness Conference award for the most promising engineer in the United States government.

At only 26 years old, did she became the first black woman to obtain this Ph.D, where she earned both her undergraduate and doctoral degrees.

Today, the 30-year-old is an aeronautics and space administration genius. She works as an aerospace research engineer at the Ames Research Center, a major research centre for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Silicon Valley.

In her undergraduate she was president of the society of women engineers in the university.

Working in the Control Design and Analysis Branch of the AFRL – Wright Patterson Air Force Base – Okolo was part of the team that flew the world’s fastest manned aircraft, which flew from coast to coast in 67 minutes.

Okolo, then a graduate student, at first felt she had no place working with such a great team.

“I was like I am sure these guys are so smart, what am I going to bring in,” she said.

She found an error in the code in the systems and she fixed it and “that fixed the impostor syndrome for a while,” she was quoted by The Cable.
She received her BSc and PhD degrees in aerospace engineering from the university in 2010 and 2015 respectively.

Okolo calls her sisters all-time heroes – who gave her biology and other science lessons through their everyday realities.

She would subsequently excel in school and make tremendous moves during her undergraduate years at the University of Texas in Arlington, where she became the president of the society of women engineers in the university.

During this period, she interned at Lockheed Martin working on NASA’s Orion spacecraft and first worked in the requirements management office in systems engineering before moving to the Hatch Mechanisms team in mechanical engineering.

Okolo later worked as a summer researcher at AFRL and has since taken off her career at NASA, a United States agency responsible for the civilian space program, as well as, aeronautics and aerospace research.

Having done research in the area of aircraft formation flight as a fuel-saving method of flight, Okolo has written several publications and is currently a special emphasis programs manager in the Intelligent Systems Division of NASA’s Ames Research Center.

She is working on the System-Wide Safety (SWS) project, where she has led the task of predicting GPS faults in drones, according to The Cable. The talented engineer is further working on a Space Technology Mission Directorate Early Career Initiative (STMD-ECI) project at the Ames Research Center.

Under this role, she “leads the controls team to develop unconventional control techniques for deployable vehicles, to enable precision landing and improve maneuverability during the entry, descent, and landing phases of spaceflight.”

Okolo has also worked with Langley Research Center in Virginia to investigate flight data and facilitate data exchange across and within NASA centres.

She wants other young girls to take an active interest in science technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

I wept

The people who need the empowerment will not get it. Period.

Oboi ..this looting no be here o..

corjiakor:
It is suicide to marry against your parents wish if you are a man, it always ends in regrets.

Let them not only marry her for u o.. Let them help u impregnate her and live with her.

If your parents ever choose a bride for you, it means you're effeminate.
If they trust you to make the right decision, they won't meddle in your affairs.

Why uniben students sabi lie like this?

Na when dem round una, only u kon run for ur life. Shay na only u get leg na uniben USain BOlt. Come go represent Nigeria for Olympic na. mumuboy

Infact, you should be arrested. If the adoption story is true.. Na u set dem up.

Magnoliaa:
Many women like that abound. If you've found ones in the past, then you'll definitely meet more for whatever relationship you want.

And, why did you share this like it's some unusual thing? I think it's normal.

Even if a girl approaches you and ask for directions, then you'll automatically feel attracted to her. Not that you want her to ask you out and bare her feelings oh.

Men and women interact everyday. No biggie.

For a girl asking for direction isn't a biggie... But when she asks in a way that conveys she's lusting after me, i be guyman. I dey code sharply. If she's my type, I'll throw the next line to that'll lead to exchange of numbers and you know the rest of the story.

But that was then sha...
