afonja amaka... .

Igbo afonja... Dr. Ikenna Ihim Olawale... I knew it, he must have a yoruba blood in him to have achieved such greatness.. Yorubas & Igbos combine are destined for greatness..

We just need to work together... The south shud work together

Dad is from Enugu, mum is from Oyo... I know him too well, he is my neighbor here for lagos... In fact I still charge my phone for him room today...

We Nigerians celebrate our fellow Nigerian

Why are the northerners always absent in good things internationally??


If I were to be an hausa man, I would have sued the UN to court for marginalizing northerners from good news and achievements abroad

FTC is my birth right



See them




If the opponent fire back now, they will start showing marginalization and victimization... See how he is quick to abuse other tribes...

baby124:

Oga your hair is not fine like this. You have gone bald, respect yourself and do yourself a favor and shave it. You can not always hide under achievements to look like a clown. Your looks must match your achievement or it will take away from it. People will now refer to you as the guy with the small patch of balding hair who won an award. Teach your children to take advise and grow some balls, lose the hair.

Noel19:


Don't let bitterness and hate destroy you and if you must, don't pass it down to your children.

The only way you can make it in life is being happy with people's achievement by so doing progress will automatically and naturally start flowing into your life.

He is American.

Nigeria should stop claiming him.

He would have been murdered by SARS for looking like a Yahoo boy if he was still here.

What support did Nigeria give him that they now want to famz Nigerian American?

Congratulations Dr Ihim.

However, Nairaland is supposed to be an educative platform like the likes of Reddit, Quora, etc. And I will continue to view it as such.
Thus, permit me to educate interested fellows and upcoming scientist in my own little way.
1. A search of the article on "google scholar", a search engine dedicated for academic publications showed that
the study was done in 2015. So can someone kindly tell me the media hype surrounding the publication 5 years
after?
2. The principal investigator of the research was Murad Bani Hani, being listed as the first author. Our compatriot is
the second author. In scientific research, and i would like to believe in all other types of researches, the main credit of
the work is given to the first author who most atimes carried out the main part of the study.
3. Furthermore, the journal in which the study was published " BMC Nursing" is a low-tier journal in the circle of serious
scientific publications. It has no real "Impact Factor" which is usually the Clarivate Analytics ranking of the impact of
journals. I for once would not consider publishing my work in such journals. In addition BMC journals are not well-indexed,
researches are considered to be valuable when they are placed in top-indexed, peer-reviewed journals published by Nature,
Elsevier, Springer, ACS , RSC, sometimes MDPI, and a few others I cannot recollect now.
4. In addition, the journal attracts a publication fee. This is a well-known trait of predatory journals which is considered an
ethical issue in academics. Why would i carry out a cutting edge research and still pay money to inform the scientific community
about it. Here in my faculty, all research published in paid journals raise concerns as it is believed they did not undergo rigorous
peer review which is the hallmark of scientific communication.

Like i said earlier, this post is only meant to educate and not to vilify. It is also meant for the perusal of upcoming scientist in Nigeria.
All through my study in NG, we never had this basic orientation. We came to better environment and realised that we knew close to
nothing of the real scientific world and had to handle around for a while before we got our footings. An article like this making the headline
and being celebrated on an important platform such as this underscores our knowledge as a country, which is a source of concern for
serious Nigerian researchers scattered around the world. Sometimes ago, it was some people celebrating the sequencing of the COVID-19
genome, by Ghana and Nigeria respectively, these are not scientific feats, they are mere routine laboratory tasks.

In all, lets top celebrating mediocrity as a people as it undermine the respect other nationals have for us. I use this opportunity to pay my respect
to indefatigable Nigerian Researchers doing their nation proud in various laboratories and research institutions scattered all over the world.
Thanks.
