- No lies detected! I had to tweet-shout this because my brother is getting called out for using ChatGPT in assignments at postgrad level as we speak. Just days ago he had to write a paragraph on the spot in class (on a question asked by the lecturer) and the AI detector stillReplying to @RGAMeyerEven ChatGPT sef go bow when a proper Nigerian drops an "official" letter.
- To any cancer patient who reads this: you are not less because all you could do today was have a shower, or wash your hair, even if your last treatment was one year ago. You are no less because you don’t have constant help. You are here today, and you deserve to be here. ❤️
- I'm muting @aproko_doctor until January 2. I cannot be opening fridge for rice, turkey and malt and be seeing his face inside there. 😑
- Bad Nigerians and Nigerian cultists have literally used their hands to ruin travelling to Dubai for every single person under the age of 30. See what you are doing to your own innocent brothers & sisters! 😤 Think about your behaviour abroad, before you cause far-reaching harm.
- Germany has a new Skilled Labour Immigration Act, which was passed in June 2019, and comes into effect March 2020. This is what was referred to in the meeting with President Buhari. We lack skilled workers so the new law allows migrants from countries outside the EU.
- A year ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Jan 5 to mid-June I had chemotherapy. July 10, I opted for a full mastectomy, and declined implants. I’ve been in remission since July 18. To start this awareness thread, here’s me on my last day of chemo!😎 #cancerinafrica
- Twelve years ago today, my father was assassinated for being a journalist. Rest on, Godwin Agbroko. We will forever miss you 💔 #JournalismIsNotACrime
- On this using “delve” means you wrote with ChatGPT matter, I feel like: Even after being colonised with English, we’re about to also be penalised for using the language better than the coloniser. Is it our fault we write big-big grammar? 😫😭
- Toyosi Ogunseye called London to try and get them to remove me from the Emmys trip, claiming my conduct on my personal Twitter account was a problem. Note: I had resigned MONTHS ago, so no longer staff😏 The BBC wasn’t paying for this trip too. See what your faves do? 🤡🤡🤡
- On this day, 14 years ago, my father Godwin Orokeyeri Agbroko, aged 53, was killed for being a journalist. Today is always horrific for my family and I. His grandchildren, children by marriage I weep the most for. What they have missed, and are denied of, cannot be quantified.
- Kiki, make sure this time you at least share whatever prize money there is with O.O and acknowledge her - given this was all her story as pitched, sourced/started. Real journalists have honour and also hold themselves to account, not just the government. #TruthIsSacrosanctWith the Elliott family & @ONECampaign, we're thrilled to present Nigerian journalist Kiki Mordi (@kikimordi) the 2020 Michael Elliott Award for African Storytelling. Her documentary uncovered sexual harassment at universities and had a tremendous impact: icfj.org/news/nigerian-…
