I'm not going to bash d Nigerian society, i will just accept this as challenge and work at inventing something in d next five yrs.

This should not be tribalised. They are Nigerians and we are proud of them.

Hope to join this class soon.

Impressive Nigerians

Nigerians get Brain but get no Support from the Government so, they have to move out to fulfil their Dreams. NDEWO

This is the kind of news I want to be reading not snakes and yeye celebrities. We need this kind of people in Nigeria. Enough of brain drain.

Look at tribalist. They are all Nigerians, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo Urohobo are in the list and am sure we still have more from all other tribes. God bless Nigerians and Nigeria

Brains perfom well in environments that are properly eqipped. But here in Nig, the matter is that of empty labs and workshops. Nowhere to develop your research unless you go overseas. Shm to successive governments preaching entrpreneurship instead of equipping or campuses and research institutes.

Now I know God created Nigeria, nobody can divide it even iPad director.

u don't mention my name.. I'm first man to get herbal medicine to cure hepatitis and liver cancer ...

not surprised they all have PhD and have studied abroad...it takes real study, hard work, and passion...
money wasn't their target, but to save lives, and make the world a better place...money would surely follow after...

Please are you sure you are Yoruba, or you don't know how to read , 16 on the list, 6 Igbo , 5 Yoruba, 3 Hausa, 1 Edo, 1 Delta and you are claiming 70% This are Nigerians that are making us proud let it be..

Naturally your hormones does not let you think logically.

The list is not complete if the OP doesn't add my name

brain drain for real. nigerian govt, unfortunately is threading the wrong path in the area of human development. most of this nigerian investors are based in the United States. and more are still being discovered in some part of nigeria yet the govt, both past and present is not doing anything to ugrade them. which way NIGERIA

That list is as fake as fake, pls take it down, why? U mean u don't know why? . Ok where is LIAR mohamed who invented lies?

Our best minds keep leaving home and build up other countries.

and that is exactly the bane of nigeria's underdevelopment. nigeria will forever remained a developing nation until the status quo is changed

God bless you Bro. Tribalism is a major encumbrance to the progress of this nation, it has really killed most sectors that could have elevated our image before the World. It makes me go crazy

One year after "cancer goggles" were first used in a successful breast cancer operation, Dr. Samuel Achilefu is still getting emails from surgeons all over the world, hoping for a chance to use them.

“We’ve been inundated,” he said from his desk in Washington University’s Mallinckrodt Institute, hours before receiving the 2014 St. Louis Award for his invention.

Achilefu counts 27 surgeries where his technology has been worn by doctors operating on patients with breast cancer, liver cancer and melanoma. An injected dye reacts with infrared light to make cancerous tissue light up, helping surgeons locate the tumor and separate it from healthy tissue.

He said he hopes the device becomes a cheaper, easier way for doctors to "see" tumors here and in the developing world. Because the goggles also project the surgeon’s view onto a computer screen, they could be adapted for use as a teaching tool.

Achilefu said the idea for the goggles was borrowed from other medical disciplines and born out of a need to reduce the number of instruments in a surgery room.

"Ophthalmologists use glasses. Neurosurgeons do the same thing, but with large microscopes,” Achilefu said. “The idea was what is the simplest device to create that is easy to use but still effective.”

Developing the goggles became a three year collaboration between radiologists, optical and sensory engineers, and surgeons — a tting development for the same radiology institute that invented the PET scan.

The St. Louis Award is given each year to honor a resident who has made an "outstanding contribution" to the community. Achilefu accepted his during a ceremony Wednesday evening in St. Louis.

Speaking by phone with St. Louis Public Radio, award committee president David Kemper said, “It just seemed natural,” to choose Achilefu for the honor.

“None of us knew him, but we knew of what was going on. We thought, 'Well, isn’t this fascinating, what a great contribution to society,'” Kemper said.

Achilefu grew up in the city of Aba, in southeastern Nigeria. After winning a government scholarship to study in France, he completed his studies at Oxford University before following a longtime mentor to the Mallinckrodt lab in 1993. He lives in the St. Louis area with his wife and two teenage children.

“I’m a good example that if you place anybody in a place and ask them to survive, they will. They will adapt to that language,” Achilefu joked. He speaks three languages uently: Igbo, English and French.

As for the future of the goggles, Achilefu said he’d like to see them become easily accessible to low-resource areas, such as urban centers and rural hospitals. He and his colleagues are gathering data to apply for FDA approval.

“I hope that in other developing parts of the world that can’t afford imaging technologies, this becomes affordable and useful for them,” he said.

Another step will be adapting the goggles to magnify the surgeon’s view to streamline brain surgeries. Achilefu said that ideally, the image would be sharp enough to be magnified so that even a single cell could be identified by a neurosurgeon.

“Medicine becomes more objective if you can see what you are treating.” Achilefu said. “You have the confidence you are doing the right thing to the patient

No they are busy fighting for equality

I've realized that politics in Nigeria has been dumped in the hands of some clownish elements.
They do not value education,innovation,empowerment of Youths...... These and many more have left our Nation stranded

And what does it take to study abroad? Teeth abi?
Nigeria average capital per income is 18000 naira, thats not even enough to school in Nigeria not to talk of going abroad.

They are both obnoxious human beings. Buruju Kashamu today donated money for a patients operation, it doesn't make him any less obnoxious. The problem with you Ibos is as soon as someone throws money at you he becomes a god.


The reason why Nigerian Brains can't excel in a country like Nigeria is that people like you dont appreciate them, you are more interested in glorifying imbeciles like Uba and Kashamu.
