When Hausa/Fulani is mentioned, an average southerner will think of not so smart, illiterate, barbaric , etc. just take a look of how two hausas are changing the world of pharmaceutical, http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/05/04/changing-the-face-of-pharmaceuticals-amina-and-isa-odidi-cnn-african-voices/ |

They have done us proud indeed. Very encouraging, we need to begin gathering the names of Nigerians at the cutting edge of science and technology to use as role models for the youth. |

Really impressive. Kudos to them. Btw, first video was interesting to watch. . . if Amina's father had not shown such an interest in educating his daughter in the 60s and 70s, doubtful any of this would have happened. |

edoyad:I think you're either ignorant, refused to be enlighten or bigoted, Odidi is a correct hausa name which is another name for Usman. he is from Zaria |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by edoyad(m): 10:41am On May 04, 2011 |
silami:Whatever ! The only Odidi i ever met was a yoruba girl, even if you checked facebook you'd see a couple of Odidis and I doubt they're hausa. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by silami(m): 10:43am On May 04, 2011 |
I think we should put sentiments and emotional attachement to our regions, religion and race aside to be able to appreciate others achievement. i hate when people start belittling or degrading other people because they came from a particular region. |

Agreed. We're trying to put sentiments aside that's why we have to establish where they're really from1 |

I've read about the couple and their exploits a couple of months. And just thinking aloud, ABU must be a very great school. 9-10 successful person from the North passed through that school. I've seen too many brilliant minds from this school, not to come to terms with the fact that this school is easily in the class of, if not greater than some of the, OAUs, UIs, UNNs and Unilags of the South. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by edoyad(m): 1:09pm On May 04, 2011 |
Jarus: Please stop, we ABUsites are no different from you average Nigerians Back to the topic, someone could do well in actually telling us where Odidi is from or which people bear that name. |

edoyad: Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 15:44:47 -0700 Subject: [ANOG] Making History: Nigerian born Dr. Isa and Dr. Amina Odidi Another proud moment for Nigerians. Bola Adesuyi http://www.nigeriannewsservice.com/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&urlid=5&mailid=31&subid=7994 History is being made once again as Nigerian born Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi, one of Canada’s top pharmaceutical scientists and prolific inventors and their pharmaceutical company Intellipharmaceutics have been invited by a stock exchange based in the United States of America (NASDAQ) to ring the opening bell before trading begins in New York city. This event will take place tomorrow 22nd October 2010. The NASDAQ invitation highlights the achievements of these two scientists and their pharmaceutical company. This is a very significant milestone for the Odidi’s and their company and I dare say a first in the annals of Nigeria’s history. The first Nigerian couples to ring the opening bell at NASDAQ, first Nigerian owned pharmaceutical company to ring the opening bell. It seems these renowned scientists turned pharmaceutical business moguls will never seize to impress and amaze. They were the first Nigerians to found and own a company (a technology based pharmaceutical company for that matter) that is publicly traded on the two international stock exchanges i.e., NASDAQ in the United States of America and TSX in Canada. Who says Nigerians in Diaspora are not good ambassadors of Nigeria? Drs Isa and Amina Odidi truly make Nigeria and Nigerians proud! They deserve our praise. We call on the Nigerian government to recognize and give honor to whom honor is due. For those who are interested in watching the event, it will be broadcast live. In 1998, Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi co-founded the publicly-traded Canadian based Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. Dr. Isa Odidi received his B.Sc. degree in Pharmacy from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and his M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Technology and his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics from the University of London. He is also a graduate of the Western Executive Management Program and obtained his MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Dr. Amina Odidi received her B.Sc. degree in Pharmacy from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and her M.Sc. in Biopharmacy and her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics from the University of London. Although these entrepreneurs are now Canadian citizens, they are originally from Kano, Nigeria About Intellipharmaceutics Inc.: Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. is a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel or generic controlled release and targeted release oral solid dosage drugs. The Company's patented Hypermatrix(tm) technology is a unique and validated multidimensional controlled-release drug delivery platform that can be applied to the efficient development of a wide range of existing and new pharmaceuticals. Based on this technology, Intellipharmaceutics has a pipeline of products in various stages of development in therapeutic areas that include neurology, cardiovascular, GIT, pain and infection. The Company has three products under review with the FDA for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approval. These represent a 6 billion dollars in brand sales. Intellipharmaceutics' lead generic product under development is Dexmethylphenidate XR (dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride), a generic version of Focalin XR(r), which is an extended-release capsule for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In 2008, Focalin(r), including Focalin XR(r), had U.S. sales of approximately U.S. $350 million. Intellipharmaceutics' lead non-generic product under development is Rexista(tm) oxycodone, an abuse- and alcohol-deterrent controlled-release oral formulation of controlled-release oxycodone hydrochloride for the relief of pain. Rexista(tm) oxycodone is a unique dosage form designed to be deterrent to some of the well-documented abuses associated with currently marketed oxycodone products, such as abuse of these drugs by nasal inhalation when crushed or powdered and by injection when combined with solvents. Rexista(tm) oxycodone is also designed to resist release of the entire dose when consumed with alcohol, a significant problem with some opioid drugs. In 2008, oxycodone had U.S. sales of approximately U.S. $2 billion. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/igala/message/4760 Anyway you can check online if it really matters.I know you really want this credit badly going to the middle belt or someone else other than the north.We on the other hand her proud. |

Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by Jarus(m): 2:37pm On May 04, 2011 |
edoyad:I brought that to attention because from my interactions with many nairalanders, ABU is highly underrated. I remember when we were discussing Sanusi issue in 2009 when Davidylan dismissed ABU certificate as not worth more than the paper it's printed on. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by tpia5: 2:48pm On May 04, 2011 |
I think everybody knows ABU is a good school. At least it used to be common knowledge- dont know about now. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by Nobody: 2:55pm On May 04, 2011 |
They are worthy of commendation. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by Jarus(m): 2:59pm On May 04, 2011 |
^^^ I've found myself arguing with some nairalanders on that topic before. Can at least recall Davidylan. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by seanet02: 3:23pm On May 04, 2011 |
ABU ke? UI rocks better than all this village schools |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by Nobody: 5:11pm On May 04, 2011 |
Jarus: From where to where,I'm sure you are just trying to raise the profile of ABU by making such comparison cuz to me,the school remains an alternative option for frustrated candidates that couldn't get admission into the Southern universities. you may call it the best in the north and i still doubt that because unilorin also ranks higher than ABU. |
Re: Hausa Couple Doing Nigeria Proud in the World Of Pharmaceutical by dapachez: 5:18pm On May 04, 2011 |
