Hello Everyone! I am Omolola from Nigeria. Hoping to pursue a PhD in International Relations next year. I had earlier written a draft in 2018, and hopefully this course would help me be more laser focused and improve on my proposal.
My area of interest is terrorism and Girl Child Education.
Warm regards

In my opinion, I would say all!!!!!!
Its like a web, so interwoven, that they work better together

The biggest challenge he faced was 'human attitude'. Which just wasn't with the general populace but amongst policy makers.
This was resolved by using the media to inform the populace, posters and influencing through Princess Diana.
He also focused on what could be tackled at the moment.
I would pretty much do the same, by engaging with all form of...

Lol. I felt the pain in your words. But sadly it's the truth especially for most African schools...

"So you always need to remain sceptical of what you're recommending. What new evidence is there? What could change your position? You must not just adopt a blind faith approach."
Thank you so much Dr. Wooding, I wish I knew this while doing a research on terrorism and state relations last year, you could say I adopted a blind faith approach. I was biased in...

'You need to fit your evidence into the types of evidence that the stakeholders in that community are already used to using'
These last words for some reasons stuck. I will be ruminating on it for a while. -

Both are highly valuable, but in my context, observation is most valuable. The context the data being sought after is the most important consideration when choosing either

@FaithOmoreOrifa Quality and Alternative Education. Sustainability in Practice, I am fascinated about the rise of social entrepreneurship, so I want to see more people doing this

I think in steps 1,2 &5 I have the greatest power to influence policy.
Steps 1 & 2 are essential in using evidence. Because realistically, my ability to see different perspective may be largelythrough evidence/data

Omolola Asagba replied to Faith Omore Orifa
@FaithOmoreOrifa all clear! Many thanks.

I like this!
What are the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding? I think you should work from this way to the point you stated.
Also, should asking for longer maternity time be premised on the issue of more time to breastfeeding, other reasons could be included.
I'm raising this point, because I know people who are house wives and don't practice...

Caleb, this is amazing! I have a new found keen interest in recycling and Upcycling. If you need support, you got one!
-
Amazing!

This is a great angle you are considering. I like it!

Also, the ones who have accepted and are happy with the result should become your 'mouth-pieces' in championing your cause.
Also, try not to condemn or scorn them when they see it as a spiritual problem. If you yourself are a Christian, you could tell them God is interested in them getting healed, and that's why he gave doctors wisdom. Help them see reason...

@OluwatosinLawal I agree with you, you could do a reverse method like she suggests. Focus on enlightening the Youths and Children, they have influence on their parents. So when you educate them, help them see it as a cycle so they also go ahead to educate the elderly ones.
A bottom-up approach should work

I like this, never linked intolerance and extremism before

Is this your hypothesis!
In my head I was screaming This question is so brilliant!!!

Omolola Asagba made a comment
"When we have evidence, it will give policymakers with more options and more concrete data so when they develop the policy, they can have a better policy that can reach more people that will benefit from the policy itself"
This compelled me, because I instantly thought of 'policy' as a business idea and the 'people' it hopes to change as prospective...

This is amazing, I'm about starting a fashion brand with Upcyling an integral part of the business model, it would be amazing to glean ideas from you seeing it's an area you are highly knowledgeable of.

I didn't realize the second similarity till I read your comment. Thank you!

The common denominator is that they are all geared towards 'improvement' of a particular people or sector

Educating yourself and talking to people who are solving different aspects of a specific problem.

@MathiasOkoh True, this is essential

This was my take home!

Thank you for putting her words in words!

@King-DavidDike I'm extremely grateful for this. Thank you!!!

This is really amazing, never written on climate change, but been reading about it, it would be great to write a paper together on it, if that's ok with you

Omolola Asagba replied to Dania Amjad
What country are you from? Pakistan or India?
-
Omolola Asagba made a comment
I chose the community as a whole, as the other options are encompassed in it

To be honest, all areas highlighted I believe are in need of pressing action. But not to be diplomatic, I would choose Education and Entrepreneurship Skills

"Policy is a set of guidelines or objectives relating to a particular situation, issue, topic or sector. This can be proposed by an individual, a body, an organisation or the government, which allows them to reach a particular, time-bound result"
I resonated with this more. I appreciate the fact that the speaker stated who can 'propose' policies.

What can be done to create this?
Tech people get in here!

What field is this? You could state it, you never know who here is willing to partner

Omolola Asagba replied to Victor Francis
Do you think can petitions work? Continuous hard protests? Writing letters to the 'helm of affairs' at the sector? Like the Minister, his cabinet? State governors? Commissioners?
Something that will get global attention.
Do you think if 30-50 individuals passionate about the same issue, collaborate, find funding, and begin implementation, would this not...

Is there anyone in your country doing similar to what you want to do? Have you reached out? Tried volunteering with them?

Omolola Asagba replied to Rotimi Moses
Lovely, I have the sentiments. What is this cause you have passion for? By getting the right people you mean collaboration with them?

Omolola Asagba made a comment
The one word that came to mind is Partnership. This certainly is one of the things keeping me, finding human resource to collaborate with. Another is adequate knowledge and relevant skill in regards to the problem area. I applaud everyone who has started off a Community or the other towards fulfilling purpose. But for as long as I remember, I love teams, like...

It sure does leads to the death of ideas.
Along these lines I was thinking if a structure could be built in Nigeria where ideas are bought by investors. I know of individuals who have amazing ideas every other day, asides resources being the issue, they are not doers and would rather give an idea, help in setting up, get paid and be out of the picture.

Omolola Asagba replied to Segun Oluwadusi
This is a part of what I am passionate about! The North to South statistics is disheartening.

Omolola Asagba replied to Dania Amjad
This is superb. What sort of research though, I am a researcher and we could collaborate if there's an underlying achievable Interest

Could someone kindly explain the difference between Step 2 & 4. I'm re reading it, but would appreciate it if it's explained. Thank you.

I'm passionate about sustainability, in the sense of creating shared values by social entrepreneurs and addressing educational inequality and promoting alternative quality education.

So simple and amazing!

Omolola Asagba replied to Victor Francis
Amazing! You took the words out of my mind. Literally. The statistics for education in Northern Nigeria is mind staggering. If it's not looked into ASAP, development is far fetched

Thank you very much. I'm still here thinking of 'what matters is what is heard and not what is said'. Is this the case in every situation? Like in real life, in every scenario?
