I had an 80000 hours meeting recently and part of the suggestion was to make my post more like a tl:dr post. Not everyone reads long post.

I am not a scam, if you need proof I will show you proofs. I am just a desperate person facing extinction of my research project of several years that just needs help. I hope you see it that way.

Just to add, just because is coming from Nigeria doesn’t make it a scam too. We are not all scammers in this country

~~Tagging that this looks like a scam/fake~~

I was wrong and apologize. I don't endorse anymore.

I've had a substantive/technical conversation with Emmanuel over Zoom, can confirm he is not a scammer.

Your google scholar link here works but not on your profile. That was one of the things that led me to believe it was a scam

Thanks for pointing it out. It should work now. I had put the https twice on my profile. Is there anything else you may need to verify my authenticity? I will be glad to do that.

nope, the fact that @Karthik Tadepalli verified you shows I am wrong. I am sorry for accusing you. The google scholar link not working seemed like a scam because it would look legit until you clicked it. If you want one more suspicious thing is that you posted it twice. Nonetheless, I apologize wholeheartedly.
