Fraudulent competition - Angola Education Awards - SCIENTIST OF THE YEAR / BEST SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROJECT

 Fraudulent competition - Angola Education Awards 

Results of the fraudulent competition

 Greetings friends. 

Thank you for voting. Engineer Sofonie Dala, based on the results, won the competition with the majority of votes, but she was being a victim of fraud, this started from the beginning of the competition.

Apparently, the organizers of this event lack knowledge and high skills to evaluate candidates in different areas of knowledge.

The end of this competition was very ugly, painted with theft, dishonesty, corruption, nepotism, lack of transparency, misinformation, slander and favoritism.

We first received a message that we were approved. The following days we received a false and fraudulent message saying that they thought again and decided to give our place to their favorites ones who were unable to win the competition.

From the beginning of the competition, the organizers tried in any way to obscure the strong candidates, putting only a simple description of their profile and achievements, while their affiliates had a full biography.

We also noticed that very important information about Sofonie Dala's research, discoveries and achievements were hidden by the organizers and it was clear that they did this out of spite.

We wrote official complaints about the harm they caused us. To date we have not received any response.

This organization is not serious.

Unsustainable competition and a waste of time.

These types of abusive behavior always happen in competitions organized by Africans, these are one of the reasons that make us lose interest in participating in competitions where the committee is completely made up of Africans.

We need to put an end to these harmful practices in competitions. It is unacceptable to lose opportunities because of envious people.

ATTENTION - FRAUD

URGENT INTERVENTION NEEDED 

Did you know?

The same injustice happened with our hybrid learning platform "She Leads Angola".

We also submitted this platform to compete in the category of best education, science and technology portal, fortunately at the beginning of the month we received a notification saying that we had successfully passed to the next phase, they asked us to send our portal's logo, we didn't hesitate we sent our logo immediately the next day, still within the deadline. A few days later, after they realized that our platform has the potential to win the contest, we received another false message saying that at the weekend the judges sat down and decided to put our portal out of the competition and decided to give priority to their favorites and affiliates. from them. Consequently, they removed our portal from the list.

It is a lie, they stole our place.

What type of crime is that?

Dear all, we are dealing with very serious fraud, we are dealing with highly dangerous professionals.

Another important detail that we find suspicious is the change in the email that was used to submit the applications. Engineer Sofonie Dala used her work email to submit our platform "She Leads Angola, but when they sent the announcement about the selection of our portal they used her other personal email that she used to apply in the category of, "scientist of the year".

That's when we discovered something wasn't clean.

Of course we protested when they sent that second fraudulent email. They just ignored it and didn't respond.

That's how this dishonest game began, accompanied by persecution.

Another mistake is that they did not send any notification to participants confirming that their application was submitted successfully.

In case of fraud the participant wouldn't have any proof confirming that he had submitted something.

That's why Angola and other African countries are the way they are.

We are happy to see our founder Sofonie Dala on the list of Young Scientists of Angola, and we are even prouder that she is the only female candidate on the list.

This means that gender disparity remains a major problem in Angola. We need to balance this picture, we need to end gender inequality in the country and so that in the next editions more women scientists appear on the list.

THIS IMAGE PERFECTLY SHOWS THE GENDER DISPARITY IN SCIENCE

Gender inequality in science

How should a better gender balance be achieved?

Why are women underrepresented in many areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)? This is a question with no easy answers. In science, as in many areas of life, bias against women exists, but researchers disagree on how much bias matters: Some suggest that the effects of bias accumulate over time to shape careers, whereas others argue that gender differences in preferences are much more important. However, it is likely impossible to disentangle the effects of societal bias and individual preferences, because people's understanding of gender differences shape their preferences.
