ofai: So because a Yoruba student named Kayode Ted Adams attacked Prof. Saburi Biobaku, you feel that student was right and his opinion constituted the sole authority by which Eni Njoku's actions must be measured? Are you for real? Was that same Yoruba student, the spokesman for all students of Unilag at that time? Are you aware that same Yoruba student pleaded insanity as a defence, when his case came up in court? So for you, the words of an insane Yoruba student is the final yardstick for confirming that Eni Njoku was an expert manager of men and resources! Wonderful! Your cluelessness is unparalleled. Lots of revisionists from the Southeast, (as well as their apologists) have attempted to paint Eni Njoku as a saint and "an expert manager of men and resources," in most of their publications. Independent 3rd party witnesses have however confirmed that both Kenneth Dike & Eni Njoku, made appointments tainted by nepotism and tribalism, instead of merit. And that factor proved that he was NOT an expert manager of men and resources! Someone who was an expert manager of men, would definitely not have allowed nepotism to taint his worldview, but would have been guided by the principle of merit, irrespective of where the holders of such merit came from! During Biobaku's outreach to the UNILAG community in June 1965, Kayode Adams approached the podium and stabbed Biobaku in the back.[1] Biobaku was rushed to a UNILAG medical center where he was treated for his wounds while the Nigerian Police arrested Adams. UNILAG was shut down for months following the stabbing incident because of resulting tensions. Adams was arraigned for stabbing the Biobaku, raised a defense of insanity, and pleaded not guilty. Despite his insanity defense, Adams was found guilty of attempted murder, confined to the Yaba Psychiatric Hospital, and rusticated from UNILAG. Adams was found dead at Bar Beach, presumably from drowning in October 1969. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayode_Adams

LaudableXX: He was wrong to attack a njoku NOT Dike (get your facts right), but it goes to show how fanatical one can get for njoku. Njoku was simply blameless. Even the governing council knew njoku was blameless and competent. Njoku continued till the war broke out. |

ofai: Yeah...yeah...corrections have already been made. Kayode Adams attacked Saburi Biobaku, because of Eni Njoku. What next? Nobody is talking about how blameless Eni Njoku was. But trying to ascribe the appellation of "an expert manager of men and resources," to him, is somewhat far-fetched. Stick to the topic, biko. |

Re: Esther Eyiuche Uchendu Wins 2018 Young Scientist Award by LaudableXX: 3:55pm On Mar 10, 2018 |
ofai: Why this matter just dey pain you like this? The facts and records speak for themselves. The Provisional Council consisted of members drawn from different parts of Nigeria, while the Senate consisted of Eni-njoku's friends and cronies. If Eni Njoku was such an excellent performer, he shouldn't have been afraid of competition, and the Senate should not have bothered to lobby or tip the scales in his favour, or try to impose his candidature for a second term, upon the university. Afterall, the works of his hands would have ensured that he scaled through the selection process which consisted of just him, and Biobaku, not so? | THE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS CRISIS | Minerva - A Review of Science, Learning and Policy | ISSN: 0026-4695 (Print) 1573-1871 (Online) | June 1965, Volume 3, Issue 4, pp 592–609 | 1 Like |

LaudableXX: It would seem that the very tribalists were the ones who were always quick to label others as tribalist in a bid to ensure that their own deeds were not undone. I did not even know that they also took their Keduism to bear in appointments and recruitments at Unilag. Indeed, once one clansman is allowed in, he must honour the clan code and bring in hoards of clansmen to perpetuate their domination agenda. When a tribe brazenly continued to replace itself as the chairman of a university's school council, yet still has the courage to tell you that is meritocracy. When a tribe picks a professor who is a junior member of the Academic board over other qualified and most senior African and Nigerian of that same board, as the University Principal, and still argues with you that such a reluctant recipient of keduism is the most qualified because of his academic work on History (Dike) or Botany (Njoku), as though the role was for a chief botanist of the school garden that was not the discipline of the other qualified faculty, and not the administrative and academic management of the university for which others had superior experience. Then they still tell you that no one else was better qualified, and as such if the qualified Igbo would not take the offer of the Keduites, the keduites will overlook other senior and more qualified Nigerians to settle for a foreign Principal. I respect Keduism for its brazen, boastful, and pure breed of tribal nepotism, coupled with its self-preservative defense mechanism of persecution complex and crocodile tears to keep its victims away from any solace that might upturn the assault.

ofai: Sadly, I do not even know Throwback, so how can we be accomplices? And if you feel anything he said was a lie, then please face him squarely. Who were the members of Unilag's Senate in 1965? They were Eni-Njoku's fellow Igbo lecturers, as well as several expatriate academic staff recruited by Eni Njoku to teach at the university, and therefore they supported his selection for a second term; And who were the members of the Provisional Council of the same university in that year? Federal appointees from different parts of the federation, who owed no allegiance to Eni Njoku, and insisted on a fairly competitive method to select the next VC. So which set do you think would have voted in Eni Njoku's favour? 1 Like |

ofai: They were trailblazers in receiving appointments that had been predetermined by Igbos to be awarded to Igbos, as Akanu Ibiam's statement to Kenneth Dike was self revealing. Simply put, Akanu Ibiam was not going to allow any Yoruba become the Principal of Ibadan even if Dike rejected the appointment. And seeing no other qualified Igbo in sight, the position would rather be given to a foreigner. The trailblazer would always remain the first African professor in Nigeria, Oladele Ajose, and it will always be remembered that he was a victim of keduism. Nigeria sacrificed its brightest brain and most experienced faculty on the altar of keduism I can now put into proper perspective the hatred Chinua Achebe reported that Igbos faced right inside UI after Ojukwu declared Biafra in 1967, with their Yoruba colleagues telling the Igbos to hurry off to their Biafra. Keduism was at that time drawing its last breath to the delight of its Yoruba victims. 1 Like |

Oga, I can as well give you other links to other publications that show a different view of Eni Njoku, from the one you know. I have done so already, in one of my earlier posts. I gave you an article written about the Unilag crisis under Eni Njoku and published in Minerva which is an international journal, that is a highly rated Review of Science, Learning and Policy. It contains articles by scholars, academicians and reputable writers. It is clearly way above your so-called 'Western post.'

ofai: To think an Igbo stranger would type about Yorubas reaping where they did not sow, concerning the principalship of a federal university that they've been canvassing for at a time others were still anticipating a secondary school, that was situated in Yorubaland, and for which a Yoruba man was the pioneer African professor and the most senior African on its Academic board? For that, Yorubas are lazy and afraid of competition? You cheat someone and still rule him out even if your tribal choice rejects the appointment, and you call that being afraid of competition? What was competitive about keduism when one is not a Keduite, and as such, not qualified to compete? Igbo greed and ingratitude is indeed legendary. You truly love to dish that which you cannot accept nor tolerate. If Ajose had known what the future will look like, he would have named himself Ogbonna Ajose just to get what he merited. Just as many Igbos mock the Buhari regime now. So does that make the Igbos lamenting about Buhari's ethnically skewed appointments, lazy losers who want to reap where they did not sow? Are you saying you admit that such Igbo appointments were the rewards for being in alliance with the Northern NPC in the independence government? Are you admitting it was a case of reaping sown seeds and not a practice of meritocracy? Are you admitting that Akintola was right to educate Yorubas on the need to also align with the North, and share in the spoils of war that NCNC had cornered for the Igbos? So you think if Ajose, considering his academic pioneering status in UI, was Igbo by tribe, that a certain academic junior to him and fellow Igbo called Dike, would have been considered ahead of him by a fellow Igbo Akanu Ibiam? So you indeed support the notion that if indeed Dike was the first choice based on some weird desire to have an historian as the first Nigerian Principal, and he refused the appointment, even his seniors on the Academic Board were not qualified enough, as such a foreigner would have been the only alternative as opined by Akanu Ibiam? Yet you are the very tribe that daily laments about marginalization in Nigeria and the absence of meritocracy in appointments. 1 Like |

Olddirtywizard: You tried hard to sound like an intellectual but you are obviously a fake. Where did you search her and did not find anything about her? You suppose academic work are published on the general google.com, exclusively? Esther graduated with a PhD from Oregon State University about 2011 or 2012. She started working at UI a few years later. So give and take she has worked at UI for about 4-6 years. In total, since after graduation she has published tens of papers and most were from her research at UI. She has been cited by other scientists at least 258 times. Please see first photo below. If you want to search for people's research work, google is just only one of the many search sites you can do so by. If you go to Researchgate (you may need to have a login and password), you will find at least 27 publications from Esther and her colleagues (see number on first print screen photo below). She could also have additional publications hosted on PubMed (NCBI) or Web of Science. Also google scholar is an option. Below are some of Esther's research from Researchgate. Esther may not be a world class scientist, but by Nigeria's standard she is of national class, better than 95% of Nigerian scientists of her age (graduation date) and qualification working in Nigeria under your shithole conditions. 1 Like

His research focuses on Functional Analysis, with a focus on Fixed Point Theory which has its applications in optimisation of allocations of resources such as network, power, workforce and Government Budget. Comprehensive optimisation schemes have tremendous impact on transportation network (traffic control, construction of routes to decongest heavy traffic), services offered by hospitals, industrial productivity and national budgets taking into account various economic, financial and social constraints.

Her research investigates urbanisation and health and population health transition and aims to contribute significantly to existing knowledge on the changing patterns of disease and implications for health and wellbeing of the population in the context of urbanisation. In particular, her work explores the interaction between chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases, and the impact of the physical and socioeconomic environment on the health profile of populations living in unplanned urban settings. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/african-scientists-meet-15-of-africas-most-brilliant-young-scientists/amp/ 1 Like

I won't engage in a diversionary obtuse argument that leads to nowhere but if you can use your so called googling skills to prove that she, indeed, won this award, I would engage you. Otherwise, as one who opened this thread, you have a responsibility to notify the moderator that you have found the thread to be fake and as such taken it off the front page, or have the moderator added a cautionary note that readers should consume the contents at their risk. You can add a caveat to the title or to the first page of this thread.
