We are not completely useless.

Our work needs lots of funding.

Nigeria can't fund it due to corruption.

What happen to Grant's from abroad. Why cant these so called microbiologist put more effort I to getting these grants.

Let me tell you, perhaps with the exception of Medicine, law, Mass communication, fine arts and to some extent civil engineering , most courses at school have hopelessly Fortran era lecturers that churn out half baked graduates.

I studied epidemiology whilst in school, I was never exposed to a microscope or even standard spectroscopy. Norrin. Everything was theory that is best applied in the 1960s. At one time , my lecturer refused to accept to take any new modern theorems apart from the one he has used to teach 15 generations of students ago.


If the govt is not funding, they should up their faculties and seek grants abroad. Often I hear of students or lecturers in MIT Boston or the Philippines getting sponsorship deals from Boeing to Google

Covid-19: Microbiology and Biochemistry lecturers and students are useless in Nigeria.

Covid-19 is an eye opener to what Nigeria universities train and excrete as Graduates.

This shows how the said PhDs , Masters teaching the same students are collectively useless.

Their mates are in the lab working tirelessly to save lives but the ones here are on strike for Ippis.

No wonder they are afraid of same students they graduate to treat them rather they ran to other civilisation.


The only they at good at is wearing white/ labcoat and be walking around university environment.

Let there be an attempt and result to the ones spent earlier.

Tell me currently anywhere in Nigeria now that research is currently going on by this discipline to help discover vaccine to Corona-virus?

The excuses is getting embarrassing.
If the government didn't support research on corona's twin SARS, is it is vaccine that will support? If the government had supported Iwu Nigeria would have produced the drug and the vaccine. Do you know how many professors that had done personal researches yet their results where turned down?

What about funds that has been released and those given during industrial actions?

At least something little to show for it..but here outrightly nothing.

Where are the so called powerful lectures that Sabi? All are hiding because they don't know what to do


The deceit is getting really dangerous...

Biochemistry, micro biologist, med lab...


Too bad.

See, many big hospitals have them working in very serious departments too.

But the kinda thing you are talking about costs a lot of money.

You want them to also join their colleagues in maybe researching on finding a cure for covid 19 right?

Its not something you start out of the blue.

Can Nigeria be able to spend millions of dollars yearly conducting researches that may not yield tangible results in short term.

Without covid 19, if Nigeria said they want to borrow $200 million to establish a research lab and maybe fund it with $30 million yearly, won't you have complained.

Way I see it, only independent research centres which already exists can help us just that its a capital intensive venture so they always do what they can.

So for now, even if all Microbiology and biochemistry lecturers and graduates wants to help, they really can't do much.

Glad you studied your course so you understand what is at stake.

No grant can be like government funding.

The grants works better when there are existing facilities with which you can argument with it and produce results.

No one gives you a grant to build a modern working research centre. Its the duty of government.

And frankly speaking, with the way Nigeria is, they can't afford it in maybe a decade.

People like Dangote should invest massively into such things.

This is the time for crossfire.

Our institutions are sub par, the "measly" funding notwithstanding

I've been through the system, and the rot is not solely the government's to bear

They declare/claim lack of funding, and we know the kind of life VC's and other gladiators live

The COVID-19 wind should keep blowing. Let it expose all they've buried in plain sight.

Scholars in the country would be shouting, "no lab". So how did you now managed to earn your First degree, Masters, and Ph.D. Are you reporting yourselves that you have not been embarking on research before getting degrees? Nigerian scholars need to take the point OP raised as a challenge. Let's be more committed to realtime research within the availability of what we have. Cheating has been killing us and it's manifesting. Stop forging research results just to move on. Covid-19 is an eye opener. BTW, OP what has your own field contributed this period of pandemic?

A genetic expert, Prof Cyril Otoikhian, Department of Genetics and Animal Breeding, Novena University, Ogume, Delta State,

“I still maintain that ground today, and that is why number of deaths are increasing and number of cases are positive. But I was not there when they prepared the chemical. I was sleeping in the night allowed my instinct to give me an insight toward what that person was thinking and what that person has done.

“They said a Professor was arrested in America and if that was true why didn’t they ask him what did you do? But I asked myself and I had a clue that even you ask that Professor wherever he has gone, where they sat together in that conspiracy to prepare that chemical against humans there could be betrayal and himself could carry some chips that could make him not remember what he did.

“At that point I asked God and said you made man in your own image, I need the solution and I want to get it. Prof Cyril has the cure to that chemical that was produced in that lab and when I give it out and they implement it you will see that death will stop.”
