So humbled to have read the first ever statement on behalf of the academia & research stakeholder group at #COP15 #NatureCOP 🇨🇦
What did we ask for?
1️⃣ A voice in the discourse
2️⃣ An urgent, SMART and transformative action to address the #biodiversity crisis #ForNature 🌳🦋
My sister @AngelaRialuchi is the most passionate and dedicated #GermanTeacher I know.
She got her bachelor’s degree in Chinese and #German language and since then, nobody can greet this girl in in English or Igbo again, only German😭😭😂😂😂

Congratulations to @IpinyomiSamuel on successfully defending his Ph.D. in our program.
His research on Fusarium wilt resistance in fresh-market tomato supports breeding healthier, high-performing tomato cultivars.
Wishing him success in his next steps!

I cannot praise God and be small.
I will not praise God and be the least.
I will not praise God and be the last.
I will praise God and multiply, and increase more and more.
I cannot praise God and suffer lack.
I cannot praise God and be defeated.
He increases me more and more.
It's a banquet of praise and a harvest of testimonies.
I refuse to praise God and be few.
I refuse to praise God and be little.
I refuse to praise God and be small.
