Onyiridike: A professional course is one whose primary / first degree is a professional degree at Bachelors level not at postgraduate and often times require licensure to practice. And a Biochemist with Bsc. Biochemistry isn't a professional my dear he/she is just like any other graduate with Bsc. Professional degree and professionals: LL.B - law MBBS - Medicine BDS - Dentist B.Pharm - Pharmacists B.Eng - Engineers B.MLS - MLS OD - Optometry BPT - Physiotherapists Etc, Etc lol These are professionals by virtue of their first degree any other thing doesn't count it's just an addition to their degree. 1 Like |

nelszx: This is what you were made to believe. 1. A lecturer is a professional, he has professional bodies that regulate entry and work ethics. You can become one with a B. Sc 2. A research officer is a professional, they equally have a body 3. A quality Control analyst is a professional. His work is regularized by SON and NAFDAC. 4 . A laboratory Technologist (Biochemistry option) is also a professional and you need only HND to operate. The problem of Nigerians is that once you don't have a title such as Dr. Eng. Arch. after your name then you are not a professional. What is the technical meaning of the word "professional"? So a teacher is not a professional? A nurse is not a professional? In some places, you require a licence to operate a barbing saloon, does that make a barber a professional? The question is if a Biochemist is a professional regardless of his educational qualification and training? And my answer is an emphatic YES!!! Even an MBBS graduate requires more training to become a full-fledged professional in a particular field. Does it occur to you that as an MBBS graduate, you can opt for Biochemistry in your postgraduate studies? I may not understand how a professional is defined in Nigerian context but I believe strongly that any graduate that creates a niche for himself in his area of discipline while abiding to established rules and work ethic is a professional. 2 Likes |

Onyiridike: That's what I have always known 1. A lecturer is a professional, he has professional bodies that regulate entry and work ethics. You can become one with a B. ScQuite true to an extent by virtue of Msc and PHD not necessarily Bsc as Bsc alone can't make you a professional 2. A research officer is a professional, they equally have a bodyTrue to an extent but I'm not aware of their body if there's one please enlighten me. 3. A quality Control analyst is a professional. His work is regularized by SON and NAFDACNot true SON and NAFDAC are agencies and can't regularise anything. IPAN regularises QC analysts. 4 . A laboratory Technologist (Biochemistry option) is also a professional and you need only HND to operate.True to an extent The problem of Nigerians is that once you don't have a title such as Dr. Eng. Arch. after your name then you are not a professional. What is the technical meaning of the word "professional"?Person formally certified by a professional body of belonging to a specific profession by virtue of having completed a required course of studies and/or practice. And whose competence can usually be measured against an established set of standards. www.businessdictionary.com/definition/professional.html So a teacher is not a professional?A teacher is a professional and they are regulated and licensed by the Teachers Registration council of Nigeria (TRCN). Not what we see in private schools where any university graduate can be a teacher, go to government schools and see the real teachers who are professionals not the quacks that rigmarole private schools (cheap labour) A nurse is not a professional?A nurse is a professional with a professional degree and regulated and licensed by a professional body everywhere in the world. In some places, you require a licence to operate a barbing saloon, does that make a barber a professional? At this point, professional for a barber is abused. The regular barber on the streets are artisans in Nigeria, there are barbers who attend barbers college for a degree in barbing these ones are licensed though not in Nigeria as any Tom, Dick and Harry can be a barber. The professional barbers though alien to Nigeria; go to college and get a degree and are regulated. The question is if a Biochemist is a professional regardless of his educational qualification and training? And my answer is an emphatic YES!!! Quite true by virtue of Post graduate training in a particular aspect as professionally inclined else he's just as normal as any other Biochemist out there. And besides there's no profession out there known as Biochemist (quote me anywhere) Even an MBBS graduate requires more training to become a full-fledged professional in a particular field. MBBS graduates and other professional degree holders are professionals in themselves seeking more knowledge to become a "SPECIALIST" not a professional any longer. In doing so he's now a professional + Specialist which most people refer to as "EXPERTS". Does it occur to you that as an MBBS graduate, you can opt for Biochemistry in your postgraduate studies?Of course yes, because he/she wants to lecture in that department. I may not understand how a professional is defined in Nigerian context but I believe strongly that any graduate that creates a niche for himself in his area of discipline while abiding to established rules and work ethic is a professional. If such niche isn't regulated by a professional body my dear you are not a professional as there's no difference between the person and the regular quack out there 2 Likes |

nelszx:Thank you for the correction on NAfDAC and SON. Why are you contradicting yourself? You don't need an M. Sc to become a lecturer in Polytechnics, monotechnics and Colleges of education. I assume that you are educated and based on your definition (don't use business dictionary as a standard) who is a professional? Just the way you need an MBBS certificate to work in a hospital as a medical doctor, you equally need a B. Sc Biochemistry to work as a Biochemist even if your job roles entails that you are called a lecturer, research officer, quality control analyst, scientific officer, technologist e.t.c. In a similar way, a medical doctor can be called a medical officer, oncologist, surgeon, gynaecologist, e.t.c. Does it occur to you that we equally have specialists such as: 1. Enzymologists 2. Nutritionists 3. Genetic engineers 4. Molecular biologists 5. Medical biochemists 6. Protein chemists 7. Lipid biochemists 8. Biotechnology I respect medical doctors but they should also respect others. Before now, nurses were not regarded and a lot of polictics were in place to make give them their place in Nigeria. Even Biochemists and microbiologists were treated equally as medical laboratory scientists before politics and interests changed the statues-quo. National Association of Biochemistry and molecular biology is already pushing it at national assembly and very soon we can fly in all directions. 1 Like |

Onyiridike:OK Why are you contradicting yourself?Where's the contradiction You don't need an M. Sc to become a lecturer in Polytechnics, monotechnics and Colleges of education.You didn't state this category before I was looking at university but by the way thanks I assume that you are educated and based on your definition (don't use business dictionary as a standard) who is a professional?To a lay person a professional is one who's certified to practice a particular profession Just the way you need an MBBS certificate to work in a hospital as a medical doctor, you equally need a B. Sc Biochemistry to work as a Biochemist even if your job roles entails that you are called a lecturer, research officer, quality control analyst, scientific officer, technologist e.t.c. In a similar way, a medical doctor can be called a medical officer, oncologist, surgeon, gynaecologist, e.t.c.The only place the job of a Biochemist is defined is lecturing other placement it's advertised with those in Microbiology, food science and SLT and besides have you seen any advert that the word "professional Biochemist" is used to advertise? Does it occur to you that we equally have specialists such as:These aren't exclusive to Biochemist as it's open to all (Industrial chemistry, doctors, MLS, Biotechnology, Pharmacology, Pharmacists, Nutrition and dietetic and.............Biochemists) I respect medical doctors but they should also respect others.Of course they do everyone, is accorded the respect due them Before now, nurses were not regarded and a lot of polictics were in place to make give them their place in Nigeria.This is strange, in Nigeria? Even Biochemists and microbiologists were treated equally as medical laboratory scientists before politics and interests changed the statues-quo. That was because of the shortage of personnel in the lab then and after they started producing their own graduates, that void has since been filled.It's not politics it's called "The law of Independent assortment" by Gregor Mendel. National Association of Biochemistry and molecular biology is already pushing it at national assembly and very soon we can fly in all directions.Until then, I wish you the best hope it won't be DOA as that of Microbiology.

nelszx: You are not completely right sir! Some of those specializations are ONLY open to Biochemists. Also, the role of a Biochemist in an organization cannot be performed by all and sundry. |
Re: Top 5 Big Courses In Nigeria That Are Prone To Unemployment by nelszx: 7:53pm On Jun 25, 2017 |

nelszx: Enzymology, medical Biochemistry and lipid chemistry, Protein Chemistry and analytical Biochemistry are restricted to Biochemists. Any quality control measure that requires animal trials to investigate the effect of a consumable good on living cells can only be performed by a Biochemist. In basic research, research that involves the production of industrial raw materials such as enzymes and biochemicals can only be done by a biochemist. Also, the manipulation of genes to solve certain genetic diseases. You can read up the work of Prof. Andrew Jonathan Nok. And many others. In food industries, Research & Development unit needs the unique knowledge of Biochemistry to improve some products e.g bioactive peptide can now be incorporated into food proteins such that they can be hydrolysed by gastroinstestinal enzymes when consumed. These bioactive peptides has antihypertensive, antidiabetic and antioxidant potentials. In developed countries, foods produced through these process are called "food of the elderly" and are sold at expensive prices. There are many other breakthrough and I can share if you are interested. Also, in oil companies, only biochemists can use enzyme immobilization techniques to prevent enviromental pollution due to oil spills. In pharmaceutical industries, only biochemists perform animal trial and also genetically engineer microorganisms to produce certain useful products. They also use the knowledge of enzymology to design drugs that can alter a pathway in organisms that produce an undesirable product which could be responsible for a disease condition. And many others. I still have many to share but let me stop here for now. I singlehandedly applied for Biochemistry, I love the course and I want to use my knowledge to solve societal problems. 1 Like |
