And mumu people go dey say Bill Gate is the 'Evil anti-christ '.

Chai!

The sad thing is

70% of the money will be lavished for her selfishness and personal uses. That's the sad thing with most Nigerian researchers that wins grants. Very USELESS people.

All the researches they've been doing all these years, what positive values has it added to Nigeria economically?
They usually end up on the shelves.
No actualisation
No implementation

What do you expect the money to be used for. That is the beauty of receiving grants - they give you way more than what you actually need as long as the cause is just.

Congrats to the Prof.

Beauty with brain, congrats to her.

This is Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation number: +12067093400.

But I don’t think they give grants directly to individuals

At least not to individuals who’s research is “What Does Being Rich Feels Like”.

So the 900 million naira doesn't contain monitoring tracker, voice recorder or GPS? It doesn't kill Africans too?

This greatly shows that poverty and hunger is the highest cause of people whipping up weird conspiracy theories and abnormal stories.

A person who is handsomely employed or has a profitable business that yeilds good money will know how it feels to have financial freedom and time and then understand that nothing, I repeat, nothing, will ever make a $100b+ retiree like Bill Gates to even have the weirdest thought of having to inject monitor or whatever they call it inside some poor Nigerian or anyone at all. The technology to do such is not even available. If available Bill Gates will have to spend of $200bn to inject only Nigeria with 200m people $2000 trackers each. His networth is only $150bn or so.

The most embarrassing part of these stories is the that people spreading it took polio vaccines donated by Bill Gates at infant, they didn't die, only to grow up and think Bill Gates or someone somewhere wants to eat their destiny or monitor their movement. Same person owns a smartphone with GPS, Internet connection and a gallery full of his photos, has a Facebook account with all his information, and then a bank account with all his accurate personal information/biometrics and financial details and history - all stored with computers running on Windows operating system that was developed by...wait for it...Bill Gates.

Congrats to Doc.

Make I copy your post, paste for my WhatsApp status, my conspiracy theorist them need to block me again.
����� Funny set of Nigerians.

I tell them, say if bill wan kill people no be Africans, them no get worth.

Him country people and them likes dey calculate how to even leave this earth for Africa's self..

Meanwhile male professors are busy chasing anything that wears skirt and dusting their rusty books.

I'm really interested in hearing what FFK have to say about this.

Lol this one na female lecturer anyways


But their make counterpart, they no dey use research grants do better thing o. That's why you see some of them balling so hard you begin to wonder if na the 250k + monthly salary dey fund this kind lifestyle. But na grants money mehn. The go use am carry woman (students) , buy new rides, build house.

Congratulations ma'am. Would have been nice working with you if my research area aligned with yours. I mean, see money na Anyways, when and how do I get fundings like this bikonu? I'm a researcher too, research focus on using environmental wastes to synthesize organic acids, antibiotics etc. Any body to give me heads-up on how to secure a good grant? Or help me with this Prof's contact? I'm certain she will help.

I understand your concern but you didn't know this woman before and the sacrifices she might have made. You don't know how passionate she might be about her research and the kind of legacy she is interested in leaving behind. Gates are not dumb to just drop 1 billion naira to a single person, a Nigerian they haven't investigated very well. And it has been stated up there how the money will be used.

It is not up to the researchers to actualize and implement the outcomes of their research because they don't have financial means to do that. That's left for the government and corporations to show interest.

From her picture, she is very young and is already a professor.

That is what God's blessings do to someone.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
UNILAG is getting it right with these big ticket grants their lecturers are getting almost every week. Some of these other universities can find out how UNILAG lecturers prepare their grant applications and follow through to success. Although I doubt if UNILAG will "show them the way".

Well done to the University of Lagos, the University of First Choice and the nation's pride

Winning grants is one thing. Using the grants judiciously and presenting results is another thing

Its not about actulizing the findings. Why are those findings no published? Or is that another function of the government too?

Congrats to the prof herself that's the result you get when you are hardworking and supported by a prestigious university

Many congratulations keep making Nigeria proud!

That one will just come and build an estate in Nigeria.

Proudly Yoruba ! Thank you for making us proud my Prof. We love love you and pray for more success to come your way and all the ways of good Sons and daughters of Oduduwa.

We are Yoruba - intelligent, brilliant,progressive; we ain't some bloodsucking landless demons from sahel !

On Oduduwa nation we stand !

She must be an omoluabi?

See us getting research grants from other countries, meanwhile buhari and our extremely greedy,senseless politicians are clueless about the importance of research to any country that is serious about progress

Even during the initial breakout of covid and some doctors came out to say they could lend a helping hand in terms of previous work they had done regarding the corona virus, instead of buhari to release funds for further research, they preferred to disregard these people and even criticising them

Who knows if covid vaccine would have 1st been discovered from 9ja if buhari had any sense to invest in research

One could only imagine the income the sale of vaccines is generating for the countries that produced them

michlins:
Congratulations to the winner.

Our religious knuckleheads won't see this. Bill and melinda be saving Africa since time began. I hope they don't tag it 666 or population control

Thank God we still have sane people like you in this country.
Everything is either about 666 or population control, bunch of religious wankers

lol
