Mods please move to a more appropriate place. Thanks for helping Source https://ifdc.org/about-us/team/ and https://ifdc.org/about/team/christian-dimkpa/ Dr. Christian Dimkpa Senior Scientist, Plant-Soil Biology Since 2014, Christian Dimkpa has been involved in the development of crop fertilizers at IFDC. He develops enhanced efficiency urea-nitrogen by coating with nanoparticles, and studies plant response to nutrients based on particle size and solubility state. He investigates crop response to micronutrients for yield enhancement, acceleration of phenological development, resilience to drought and disease stress, and fortification of edible tissues with nutrients critical for human health. He also studies the role of micronutrients in improving plant use efficiency of nitrogen, with implications for mitigating climatic effects. An important aspect of Christian’s research at IFDC involves examining how micronutrients influence plant uptake of phosphorus. Between 2009 and 2014, Christian was a Post-Doctoral Fellow and Research-Assistant-Professor at the Biology Department of Utah State University (USU) Logan, USA. At USU, he was a co-Principal Investigator on US Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded grants that evaluated the interactions of plants and plant-associated microbes with metallic nanoparticles in the context of ecotoxicology and plant health. In 2009, he obtained his doctorate degree in Natural Sciences (plant-microbe-metal interactions) from the Friedrich Schiller University/International Max Planck Research School Jena, Germany. He has published over 75 articles, book chapters and technical reports. He has given presentations at national and international conferences. He is a Senior Review Editor for the Journal of Basic Microbiology, and a member of the USDA NIFA-AFRI Center for Nanotechnology and Agricultural Pathogens Suppression. He has been involved in collaborative development projects in East and West Africa and has been an external Graduate Dissertation Examiner for the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences North West University, South Africa since 2019.

Ekwutox: Why don't you do some googling, even a Facebook search? I can help you though. This is an Ogoni example: ''Taagaalo Christina Dimkpa Nkoo, Barabeedom, Kegbara Dere, Ogoniland Taagaalo, a 65-year-old farmer, told Amnesty International that she used to grow coconuts, yams, and cassava, but all her trees died after an oil spill in 2009 at the Bomu Manifold, where several Shell pipelines meet. The resulting fire burned for 36 hours. She says she still finds oil in the soil. “The oil came down and destroyed everything…The oil doesn’t allow yams or anything to grow…We cannot live well anymore.” source https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2015/11/human-face-oil-pollution-niger-delta/ 1 Like |

Ikwerre example (although I consider Ikwerres Igbos) Speaking after casting his vote at the Ward 1 unit 02, Isiokpo, Hon. Chukwudi Dimkpa, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, commend the process. Dimkpa lauded the security agencies for providing a peaceful atmosphere for the process, adding that votes of the electorates would count. Also, Felix Nnochiri, who voted at ward 12, stated that the process, was coordinated, adding that security was not interfering with the process.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-dimkpa-ph-d-25354b2b This is his linkedin page. He speaks Igbo , not Ikwerre or Ogoni. Igbo success is surely a source of pain to alot of people. Why would anyone be linking a Dimkpa to anything but Igbo? And mind you, Eleme has an Igbo aspect to them, which is why they deny being Ogoni most times. 3 Likes |

Ekwutox: I don't know the meaning. But the name must mean something in their language. I am not Ogoni, but I am telling you for a fact that Ogonis bear the name. I lived 5 years in River State and traveled to Ogoni regularly back then. Just so you know, I am Igbo myself. I am not saying Dimkpa is not Igbo name. I am saying that it is ALSO Ogoni and Ikwerre names 1 Like |

Why are you guys crowing over a small scientist? Easily impressed Lmaooooo ![]() If you want to know about a world renowned scientist from the very top schools in the USA and a boss amongst scientists. Then read about Babafemi Taiwo. He is leading the research into one of the most promising treatments for coronavirus and he 100% Afonja Meet Babafemi Taiwo Babafemi O Taiwo, MBBS Chief of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine Gene Stollerman Professor of Medicine https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/faculty-profiles/az/profile.html?xid=16283 His work on coronavirus medicine Remdesivir https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2020/03/covid-19-drug-trial-launches-at-northwestern-medicine/ His already interviewed with CNN and other major news outlets about his work on Remdesivir This is not a small time soil biologist.

I have never mentioned any mods before, maybe with the exception of the snake master, but i want to suggest that posts like this be allowed to grace frontpage whenever they are created. This will help inspire younger generation because a lot of them are of the opinion that "school na scam". While i agree that getting a certificate will not automatically translate to success, it is worthy to note that their are numerous folks here and in diaspora making waves and excelling in their chosen fields and profession I will here now call on the moderators i know to give heed to this suggestion.
