I know they take Plaigarism and not referencing properly very serious abroad (not in Nigeria though). But i dont know if delevering a speech using someone else's material counts as actual plaigarism, the problem is that it has been published on a website , i dont know the specific rules for that. But this just shows an oversight on Sanusi's part (or his speech writer because Im not too sure he'll have time to be writing speeches for universities and things)

I don't think you can sue someone for using your words verbatim in a speech without acknowledging you.

It sounds frivolous and will probably be thrown out, meaning that Sanusi will probably never have to explain himself.

Alright, so I've been able to track down both Sanusi's speech and Professor Dike's article.

Now this is Dr. Dike's claim from the opening post:

He claimed that the CBN Governor, in a public lecture delivered at the Eight Convocation Ceremony of Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo state on 26 November, 2010, titled Growth Prospects For The Nigerian Economy, copied verbatim and pasted from his academic articles he published without referring to him as the original author of the work.

The plaintiff averred that Sanusi copied from pages 98,99 and 100 of his work titled, ‘Review of the Challenges Facing the Nigerian Economy: Is National Development Possible Without Technological Capability?’

He stated the copied lines as follows: “The challenges facing the economy is ineffective institutions and dilapidated infrastructure (bad roads, erratic power supply, limited access to potable water and basic healthcare, and ineffective regulatory agencies, etc). The plethora of reforms and policies are ineffective due to institutional failure (Hoff, 2003)”.

The above is just a few sentences from one of the publications in which Lamido Sanusi is alleged to have plagiarised.

At another lecture delivered by the nation’s Chief Banker at the Convocation Square, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi where he presented a paper titled ‘Global Financial Meltdown and the Reforms in the Nigerian Banking Sector’, Prof Dike alleged that Sanusi also copied verbatim articles originally written and published by him without acknowledging him as the author of the works from where the he sourced the materials for his lecture.

He also stated that Sanusi on different occasions copied his materials without acknowledging him as the original author of the works.

Now this is Dike's article:

http://www.jsd-africa.com/Jsda/V12No5_Fall2010_A/PDF/Review%20of%20the%20Challenges%20Facing%20the%20Nigerian%20Economy%20%28Dike%29.pdf


Now this is Sanusi's speech at Igbinedion University:

http://cenbank.org/out/speeches/2010/gov_convocation_lecture-igbinedion-university-okada_2010.pdf



The particular quote above in bold is in Dike's article on p. 99 as he stated. However the quote is NOT in Sanusi's convocation speech at Igbinedion University.



So the first of Dr. Dike's claims is absolute nonsense and I wouldn't be surprised if his other claims were also nonsense.


The thread title should maybe be updated by the mods to read "Nigerian academic in the U.S. levels false charge of plagiarism against Sanusi".

PhysicsQED: I don't think you can sue someone for using your words verbatim in a speech without acknowledging you.

Yea not if the speech is published in a website and made available to the public for download!
By that it is no longer just a speech, it is document that can be cited!

Well it doesn't matter now anyway. The claim was garbage just as I suspected it would be.

Yet, another fraudulent hungry professor exposed? SMH!. . .where is eze ONLYFOOLISH?

this is the quote from Sanusi's paper which he stole from the prof's paper.

"Infrastructural Challenges: one The main challenges’ facing the
economy is poor economic and social infrastructure: bad roads, erratic
power supply, limited access to portable water and basic healthcare,
and much more." - GROWTH PROSPECTS FOR THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY(Convocation Lecture delivered at the Igbinedion University Eighth Convocation Ceremony, Okada, Edo State, November 26, 2010), Page 26.

like nigerians, like thief!
and you see Yoruba and a supposed educated edo eediot here defending their thief brother sanusi
mscheeeeeeeeeeeew!

There is nothing sentimental about this issue,if sanusi is found guilty of plagiarism,he should face the music,he should have acknowleged the original author in the first place and saved himself the embarassment.

Pipe down. Anybody who's read my posts on Sanusi on this forum knows I'm NOT a fan of Sanusi. I've criticized him multiple times, so I have no personal stake in defending him much less seeing him as my "brother". However, I acknowledge that I did miss that quote, which definitely seems to be a modified version of the quote by Dr. Dike.

Anyway, just for the record, it seems pretty clear now that Sanusi should have listed the paper of Dike's that he was using, because he (Sanusi) cited another different paper of Dike's explicitly at the end of the article. He also doesn't seem to understand academic conventions regarding exact phrases/quotes.

http://toluogunlesi./2012/04/24/lamido-sanusi-and-the-plagiarism-allegations-1/

Once again, I still don't think he can be sued for anything though.

Above all, I don't like that man called Sanusi Lamido.

CBN governor accused of plagiarizing . . . its over, WE ARE ALL GOING TO HELL.

Realchange my brother calm down with your anger, though you have a case. Don't be annoyed by some Yoruba folks on this thread who would rather go into tribalism than address the issue before us. Very sad indeed.
I think PhysicsQED was deceived by Sanusi initially too.

@Physics,
I understand you made an honest mistake.
The man said that Sanusi plagiarized his works SEVERALLY.

Well, we shall see how this ends.

There is too much fraud in Nigeria and on NL: our politicians, Emeagwali, Nchara, Ekt bear, and now Sanusi. Nigerians and fraud, same naa nii

Then: ''I used same data for two published papers''-Dapo Bear
Now: ''I used data from a conference proceedings to write a published paper'' - ekt_bear.

Remember also you claimed to be helping illegal immigrants.

You are a fraud and a fraudulent liar.

This guy makes Tinubu look like a saint.

As if you're not an illegal immigrant yourself.

Better get your boat ready.

I can't tell if you're joking or being pessimistic, but what is clear is that the CBN governor a) doesn't understand how to properly cite other people's work and b) doesn't understand the simple phrase "potable water" despite being a Foucault-reading, Marx-quoting "philosopher".


@ Onlytruth, yeah, I totally missed it. Sanusi's statement is close, but slightly altered so my search was too exact and I didn't come across the quote.

Beaf: I pity Sanusi. The worst labels a man can have are thief and cheat.

Do you think he cares about these labels?

This guy has a masters degree from LSE . . . stop making excuses for him jo. He is a plagiarizer simplicita.

hehehe!

Nigerians like to "pasmaga" a lot.

Look, I still think that Sanusi is just a victim of poor education.
For me, that is the bottomline.

Now imagine someone like that running our monetary policy.

I jealously guard Nigeria's monetary policy because it is one of the FEW good things we have in that country all these years.
If you look at African and third world countries, most of them lose control of their currencies and suffer hyperinflation as a result at one time or another. In the 50-something years of Nigeria's existence, our money has never really gone to the dogs.
I am proud of that. For a country that produces and exports little, that is phenomenal.
Our exchange rate could have been N1000 to the dollar when oil was trading at $20/barrel. It never happened and I'm proud of that.

So, we must chase all quacks out of our treasury house!

Sanusi?

LSE?

When?

ekt_bear: Sanusi?

LSE?

When?

Are you speaking tongue-in-cheek?

When did he take these courses at LSE?

When did he get this masters from ABU Zaria?

No. I wasn't trying to be funny/ironic by citing Jarus. I just put that link up there because it clears up the inaccurate LSE story.

Here are links describing Sanusi's education, experience, etc.:

So if he spent 1 year on youth service, did he complete this MS from ABU in 1 year?

Did they even offer a 1 year MS at ABU in the early 80s?

ekt_bear: So if he spent 1 year on youth service, did he complete this MS from ABU in 1 year?

Good question. But I have seen profiles of academics that earned their master's in 1 year.

Also, I haven't seen anything that shows that he took courses at the LSE so maybe that's a complete myth.

ABU today has a 2 year MS program.

I don't know if it was one year or not in the early 1980s.

Anyone who attended the school around that time or who would otherwise be familiar with it know?
