That Profesor Olukotun is a Genius. He supervised me on my MSc project @ AUST. He is a native of Ogun State

So we don't have renowned biomedical scientist from Nigeria?

RESEARCH

He has 7 patents and has contributed to over 100 journal papers and technical papers.

Only three or four of the ones you listed are in top Universities.

And just two of them are distinguished.

I can compile a better list than this one with my eyes closed.

If this list is anything to go by, then there is absolutely nothing to celebrate.

However, there are far more distinguished Nigerian academics in top Universities than the ones you listed.

Why is there no notherner in the list. This is sacrilegious is it that it is only when it comes to Nigerian politics that we will find them struggling for power. Upon all the scholarships and bursary they have been collecting why are they like this.

Big up men, I'm on my way coming behind you guys, in the next 10-15 years you people will hear my name by God's grace.

My role models

people can hate igbos but once God loves them to hell with people, Just like they hate isreal but God loves them


Thought they said IGBOS are traders and Igbos do not go to school especially by the so called sophisticated tribe

ONE HAS TO BE PROUD OF WHERE HE COMES FROM and that is exactly what that guy is doing....

Very skewed list. The OP purposely put more Igbos on the list

I am an Igbo man living in America and there is ABSOLUTELY no way that there are more Igbo academics than Yoruba academics in Diaspora- that is Yoruba territory!!!!

Omo see brain drain. This is one of the things we need to attend to in this country urgently. When our very best are leaving for greaner pasture

where you graduate, who know you

Love this. I really do. I'm happy for Nigerians regardless of tribe and pride

maybe with new leadership, more Nigerians could create world renowned scientific breakthroughs from Nigerian institutions alone.

Maybe this month will usher in the beginning of this vision.. I'd visit Nigeria to visit Ilesanmi Adesisa's computer village

apasino01:
Some idiotss nogo notice d igbos in the list. If na drug trafficking dem eyes go turn 2 name magnet.

Shut up joor, am very sure that yoruba plenty past igbo, it's just that op is igbo, so he just choose few, remember that he didn't say 1 to 10,he just mention name randomly, am 100% sure that there sentiment in that list, OP trying to paint igbo in good image

Borrussia:
If I get proper education, prolly in Freiburg or Oxford, I'm sure I'll quadruple their achievements.

What about those of us who had never attended school? Can we also become professors?

Ewu...put the Yorubas na, Look at you look at google


Your busy doing dishes and security, do you think all we be doing dishes like you

I have a crazy list of both US and UK - including patents by Nigerians.

A lot of Nigerians are doing great things in the academic world.

Brain drain everywhere, nothing to be proud of here, this just personal success for them and their family, which benefits America, not Nigeria. In short they will be referred to as Americans, not Nigerians...some people go dey shout Igbo "KWENU", some go they shout Yoruba .. .
