The so called most intelligent man in Africa award winner...hahahahaaaaa

The Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has been dragged before a Federal High Court siting in Abuja over an alleged plagiarism by a Nigerian and United States of America-based academic, Prof Victor E. Dike.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi

Dike is a lecturer at the School of Engineering & Technology, National University of Sacramento, California, USA.

Dike, who is also the CEO and Founder, Center for Social Justice & Human Development, claims that he is the original author of the article titled: Review of the Challenges Facing The Nigerian (Is National Development Possible Without Technological Capability?).

The article was published in the Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 12).

He claimed that the CBN Governor, in a public lecture delivered at the Eight Convocation Ceremony of Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo state on 26 November, 2010, titled Growth Prospects For The Nigerian Economy, copied verbatim and pasted from his academic articles he published without referring to him as the original author of the work.

The plaintiff averred that Sanusi copied from pages 98,99 and 100 of his work titled, ‘Review of the Challenges Facing the Nigerian Economy: Is National Development Possible Without Technological Capability?’

He stated the copied lines as follows: “The challenges facing the economy is ineffective institutions and dilapidated infrastructure (bad roads, erratic power supply, limited access to potable water and basic healthcare, and ineffective regulatory agencies, etc). The plethora of reforms and policies are ineffective due to institutional failure (Hoff, 2003)”.

The above is just a few sentences from one of the publications in which Lamido Sanusi is alleged to have plagiarised.

At another lecture delivered by the nation’s Chief Banker at the Convocation Square, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi where he presented a paper titled ‘Global Financial Meltdown and the Reforms in the Nigerian Banking Sector’, Prof Dike alleged that Sanusi also copied verbatim articles originally written and published by him without acknowledging him as the author of the works from where the he sourced the materials for his lecture.

He also stated that Sanusi on different occasions copied his materials without acknowledging him as the original author of the works.

The plaintiff subsequently asked for the sum of N15 million as compensation, the cost of filing the suit and the cost of travelling to Nigeria.

He also asked the court to declare that Sanusi plagiarised his works and breached his copy right.

He further asked the court to issue a perpetual injunction restraining Sanusi from citing his papers as his (Sanusi’s).

He asked the court to direct the CBN Governor to retract the papers from the public by removing them from the CBN website.

The plaintiff asked the court to make a publication in a national daily denouncing the authorship of the articles.

The court ordered the bailiff to paste the court’s processes at the CBN after the bailiff deposed to an affidavit that the security at the office did not accept service.

The case was subsequently adjourned by Justice Adamu Bello to 31 May for mention.

Why the man dey sue im own country? No one tell am say im suppose be patriot . . .

I pity Sanusi. The worst labels a man can have are thief and cheat.

Chei! Even the CBN boss? You see why I keep saying that it is insulting to the person of Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo to ever compare Sanusi with Soludo.
Soludo would cite HIS OWN articles!

But come o. Didn't Sanusi complete a Masters Degree thesis? If he ever did in a reputable institution, he would have understood the gravity of INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY. Citation of sources is like the single most important process in writting of academic/seminar papers.

Nna ike gwuru ndi ugwu o. ( I tire for mallam, wallahi)

Exactly! Plagiarism is fraud and theft; the intellectual equivalent of rap'ing an underage kid. It is low, low behaviour.

Did I not say previously that this Sanusi guy is a pseudo intellectual.

Beaf: ^

Shi ke nan!

In all honesty, I believe that Sanusi is a product of a bad school. I find it hard to believe that someone like him would intentionally steal academic materials. I've seen a lot of that in Nigerian academic articles.
The so called academics we have in Nigeria are yet to understand the gravity of this offense.

I learned the lesson when a lecturer (here in the US) gave me a "C" score on an "A" paper simply because I failed to use the very citation style she wanted us to use (not that I didn't even cite it). I forgot to use the TURABIAN style of Note-Bibliography citation, and instead used the "Reference" style; that was it! Now, imagine what would have happend if I mis-cited or failed to cite at all. All hell would have been let loose.

Sanusi should go back to school!

@ Bold. . .and you are making conclusion? I beg make we hear word. Your bigotry won't even allow you to atleast hear the other side of the sotry before passing judgement. Oh, I forget the guy is Ibo then he must be right. Sanusi is product of bad school, yet under Soludo's watch billions of share holders deposit got missing via various ponzi schemes without notice. Nonsense!

By the way, where is your father of internet, Philip Emeagwali? The other moronn making rounds that he invented internet or he is the father of internet.

You have just proved that the problem in Nigeria is TRIBALISM! When Nairalanders were calling Philip Emeaguali a fraud! You said, "Nigeria cannot develop because they do not value their own, they always pull their own down . . etc". Now because it's Sanusi and not an Igbo man, Emeaguali, you are here shouting "gravity of this offense". Did you not think about "gravity of this offense" when we have an alleged FRAUDSTER on our National post stamp?! Talk about hypocrisy that STINKS to the high heavens!

In my opinion, Sanusi would have to clarify his name, if not, he should be SACKED!

Nna see me see trouble o!

What has this got to do with tribalism? I'm still trying very hard to see the tribal angle of plagiarism committed by the Central Bank Governor of Nigeria.
The man failed SEVERALLY to show intellectual honesty by giving credit to original owners of materials he cited.
I can even feel the pains of Prof Victor E. Dike who I think would have let this slide had Sanusi not continued to plagiarise his works.
The man is even being very enlightened and polished by suing only for commensurate injury. In US he probably would have also sued for punitive injury.

Jason and Rhino, can you people ever grow brains?

Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo was NEVER engaged in any form of plagiarism, neither did Phillip Emeagwali. FACT.

Please don't derail this thread that can potentially ensure that half baked people never made it to sensitive national positions of responsibility.
Thank you!

People as half as intelligent as you, are managing cheveron, shell and other multi-nationals in warri. Come out and tell us which one is your village in south east. Ibo bigot claiming to be from Delta State. Fool

You i.d.i.o.t. What fraud did Emeagwali comit? He calls himself a doctor, right? Is that plagiarism? Did he write Ph.D in any official document? You are free to claim anything with your mouth, in your website, or in your home. Emeagwali lives in America, the land of law and order; if he had committed any fraud, he will be sued and imprisoned or fined. Has any of those happened? Try again.

Interesting. Actually legit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_University_(California)

So as not to derail the thread. I'll let this sly! Guys, just try to be more honest and OBJECTIVE when next you criticize people.

Me too. However this is what I found by conducting a Linkedin search:

Emeagwali is a larger fraud than Sanusi (assuming that this report is true.)

Or which is worse, plagiarism (Sanusi) or misrepresenting yourself as a PhD holder, lying about the importance of your research, etc (Emeagwali)?

So claiming to have "invented the internet" is what? . . .invention? You must be smoking crack

I agree with you philip emeagwali NEVER engaged in any form plagiarism, he was simply a thief! A man claiming to have Phd when all available records shows he was a drop out and couldn't even pass his first semester courses.

A man claiming to have invented the super computer when he can't even programme 8-bit microchip.

A man that won a thousand dollars worth award and claimed to have won a nobel prize. Abeg make I hear sointin!

Not trying to even defend anyone but plagiarism by the CBN GOVERNOR OF NIGERIA is FAR MORE SERIOUS.
Anybody can claim to be anything for all I care provided he is not sitting on top of my resources and directing the policy.
When the CBN governor of Nigeria's top treasury bank starts to steal academic materials and passing them off as his, every sensible Nigerian should not sleep well this night.

What fraud did Emeagwali comit?

DON'T PUSH YOUR LUCK! D.O.N.T P.U.S.H Y.O.U.R L.U.C.K! Nchara, continue with the topic. Let's not derail the topic!

Then again, this is not the first time he has done this.

Didn't Sanusi misrepresent himself as a master's degree holder in economics before?

I remember Jarus vociferously defending him..

ekt_bear: Then again, this is not the first time he has done this.

Wait o, does he have a master's degree in economics?

To whom did Emeagwali misrepresent himself? In a court of law? Before the scientific community or before gullible Nigerians?
If he committed a fraud why was he not charged? We are talking of the USA not Nigeria, remember?

I bought a piece of furniture for 800 dollars and I told my friends it sold for 2000. That is what Emeagwali did. Morally wrong? Yes. A fraud? No.

Tell me the fraud that he committed.

I doubt he does. Though he has claimed one in the past (or at a minimum, let someone claim it for him without correcting them).

See this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/710377/lamido-sanusis-performance-brilliant-over-hyped/

Especially page 15 or so.

I'm still waiting for an answer to my question.

DOES SANUSI HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE IN ECONOMICS or is that a lie too?
Chineke ekwela ihe ojoo.
