Great job, brother. You are better off compared to your other brothers in Boko haram. You used your brain to find cure, they used their brains to make bombs. God bless you. Amen.

Bismarck10: I am an ABU student(not from his department anyway).This man won the VC election 2 years back and he was denied.The emir never knew God has something grand in store for him.This is a lesson for those who discriminate on the ground of anything.



The office of a VC is highly political and the administrative demands requires so much to run it well. A genius in the lab may not necessarily perform well in that office which demands alot more. It's almost synonymous to clamouring for wole Soyinka in regard to the office of the governor or president

U're right. He probably wouldn't have achieved this breakthrough if he had won d post of VC of d school, so d politics that denied that position was in good faith ie it benefitted everybody at d end

Look at it this way: God did not want his talent to waste that's why God denied him the VC office. These days it's lazy academics that lobby to be made VCs. Once they get the appointment they turn vicious,greedy, corrupt and say bye-bye to academic work.
If Prof Nok had been appointed VC I am pretty sure he would never have made this achievement. The lesson for all of us is that we should strive for excellence in our various endeavours rather than hanker after vanities.

This story was posted on the 15th of August if Im not mistaken. Why did it take 10 days to make front page?!?
Big congrats to the professor. This is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be a Nigerian, in spite of the kind of depressing, yet objective, analyses of Nigeria by expats like James Ibor.

Screwface: My formal dean and lecturer.
This man is just pure genius and gifted. You only need to hear him say a word before you take a liking to him.

Professor Andrew Nok of Biochemistry,ABU Zaria. Some of those guys wey lecture you and sufer u for ur under grad days still be PHD holder and lecturer for the same faculty u dey boss now!

Inspiration you are, sir!


I admire your knowledge of Prof. Nok. He was robbed of being the vice chancellor of A.B.U after winning the election by over 90% some years back! Yet he's waxing stronger. He has helped more than 10 people (that i know) obtain international scholarships & he taught me during my MSc course work. Am so proud of him & Prof. Atawodi in the same dept. Am a proud Biochemist, am a proud BUKite & ABUsite.

He is a Christian and that's why he was suffered in his school days in ABU. Did they know that God had set him out for greater height? Thank God those ppl are now under him
