Nice, so tell us how the government is creating an enabling environment by under-funding educational and research institutes.

The whole mess is top-down.

The money they give to educational and research institures arent the Phd Holders and professors stealing them.

lilwetdick:


those Nigerians have no impacts anyway, you just copy what the blogs tell you.

Have they won the Nobel Prize in any scientific research- NO

See how the goal post has shifted from

1) What has Nigerian PhD holders invented?

to

2) What they have invented, is it useful?

to

3) Have they won Nobel peace prize with their inventions?


And by the way, wikipedia na blog abi?

Point of correction, you are referring to the peanuts allocated to the universities and colleges of education that can barely sustain the recurrent expenditure of these institutions?

Why don't you engineer an enabling environment, or are you daft also?

OkCornel:


@lilwetdick, this person's invention is useless abi?

is that an invention, pls tell for yourself, is it patient under his name or under apple

and the way people just write things on article to hype people we dont know of.

i can bever believe a blog, the only stuff i believe is official documents

HBB1:

we are both daft that is why we cant engineer an enabling environment.

yeah peanuts was allocated to universities and colleage of education but the Phd holders and professors didnt know what to do with the peanut instead of planting the peanut to gain more peanuts, instead they stole the peanut.

anybody cant edit wikipedia.

i asked all these questions because if we are to be sincere, no invention have come out of Nigeria

all the things you are using electronically were invented by researchers , point to a nigerian research, something of commercial value.

Basic logic man. Intangible brands are not humans that invent things.

from

1) Mention anything Nigerian PhD holders have invented to;

2) Mention anything Nigerian PhD holders in Nigerian Universities have invented to;

3) What is the commercial value of what they have invented to;

4) How many of them won Nobel peace prize with what they've invented to;

5) Anybody can edit anything on Wikipedia.

Samuel Achilefu;

Samuel Achilefu is a Nigerian-born Professor of Radiography and Biomedical engineering. He currently serves as a Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine and a research member at Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center.

In 2014, Samuel received the prestigious St. Louis Award for creating and developing a set of high-tech cancer-visualizing goggles with the aim of helping surgeons see cancer cells in real-time while operating on patients

Did you see where I wrote that the peanuts can barely meet the recurrent expenditure of these universities?

E.g. Salaries/wages, maintenance of infrastructure e.t.c. Not to talk of capital expenditure such as expansion projects? Talk less of funding research projects?

A country where ASUU goes on strike because the government barely keeps its side of the bargain?

interesting, apart from the govt budget for universities, it is govt that pays salaries and wages of lecturers not universities, so their no excuse that all expenditure for a university is recurrent

We also have private universities, what have they also produce. nothing

you are just an excuse giver

imagine if other countries were giving excuses like we do, i am sure they wont be where they are today.

Covenant Researchers Receive Patent Rights for 8 Inventions; 29th March, 2018

Professor Omoleye, a Professor of Chemical Engineering, was the sole beneficiary of the patent for the ‘Production of wine Brand from Hibiscus Sabdariffa’. He and Dr. (Mrs) Modupe Ojewumi, a faculty in the Department of Chemical Engineering, were joint recipients of the patent right for the ‘Production of Protein Nutrient from Parkia Biglobosa Seed’.

The patent right for ‘Integrated Dual Powered Electric Automobile Engine’ was awarded to Professor Omoleye and Mr. Olusegun Igbamerun, a Senior Technologist at the Covenant University Centre for Research, Innovation, and Discovery (CUCRID). Both were also jointly awarded the patent right for the invention of ‘Violation Self Reporting Vehicle Speed Limiter’.

Also, together with Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Ekem, Professor Omoleye earned a patent right for the ‘Production of Dry Fermented Ogi from Corn and Guinea Corn’.

Professor Francis Idachaba of the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering (EIE) was awarded patent rights for two products. They are ‘Pipeline Leak Inhibitor Tool for Onshore and Offshore Crude Oil Pipeline networks’ and ‘Offshore Pipeline Monitoring Tool’. Another faculty from the EIE Department, Dr. Victor Matthews, received a patent right for the invention of an ‘Intelligent Executive Chair’.

The National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP), an Agency of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, facilitated the award of patent rights to the Covenant University researchers. NOTAP, amongst other functions, promotes innovation, patenting and intellectual property; offers technology advisory and support services; and commercialisation of Research and Development results.

goals are not shiffting, take the first 4 questions and use it to answer any inventions

Most Inventions in Nigeria that helping people and are of commercial value arent invented by Phd holders but by ordinary people on the street. even some of them are without education.

And whose input is most critical here? Oh well, since he's a Nigerian, he has no capacity to do anything useful isn't it?

Thankfully, we all know who led this team is a capable and competent Nigerian.

lilwetdick:

Speak for yourself!

You think Bill gates just woke up one day and decided to make computers?

Or Steve Jobs woke up in Mushin and made the iPhone?

At the time when very few Universities had computers, Gates' high school had a top grade computer courtesy of their PTA (donations).
His family was upper middle class, hence he enjoyed certain benefits several millions of kids couldn't enjoy.

Jobs' Father indulged him so much, that he sold his house, so he could attend the high school he (Steve Jobs) wanted.

Is it someone whose kids have not eaten that will think research?

Will you dream of space travel when your family is starving?

Our researchers have now become 'Entrepreneurs' all in a bid to survive-- our country is poor and visionless, and so important sectors will suffer.

It is obvious you don't understand how life works-- you think people just stand up someday and succeed.
Self made men?!

Shior!

A man is the product of his environment, there are no self made people anywhere!
Rich people keep on producing rich children while the poor one's recycle poverty.

That's why Nigerians are travelling abroad and doing better than they would ever have done back home.

You need a very big springboard to jump from if you are disadvantaged and unfortunately many of us are.

Dr. (Mrs) Modupe Ojewumi, a faculty in the Department of Chemical Engineering, were joint recipients of the patent right for the ‘Production of Protein Nutrient from Parkia Biglobosa Seed’ - production of protein from locust bean, something people in the village have been doing

The rest inventions do not have commercial value, there are already tools in existence created for it.
