kbdrim:
@ poster, My problem with southerners from Nigeria is that they have no guts whatsoever. you can have all  the degrees from the ivy league universities in the world, without guts and courage IMO, It amounts to nothing in Nigeria, That is why you find the likes of aganga cower b4 the senate inspite of his so called credentials. Mr katsumoto seemed to have so studied SLS that he has become an encyclopaedia on him.[size=18pt] He comes to nairaland where he can hide his identity and spin all the knowledge of micro/macro economics just to discredit SLS, If he disagrees with CBN policies, As an intellectual, there are academic forums where fellow professsionals can argue your points but no he chooses nairaland so he can appear to be intelligent to people who know little or nothing about the subject and are likely to go with their emotions.[/size] We have had the likes of olu falae, kalu idika kalu and many technocrats over the yrs in Nigeria, Nothing happened with these folks, while Time people, Financial Times of london have all honored sanusi, we have a spin doctor with no identity claiming to know more than these folks. If you know your onions as you are claiming, let us have your own resume and your publications in International journals and then you can go to forums where fellow professionals can argue with you. The failed banks and financial institutions across europe and america were maned by ivy leaguers with resumes as long as textbooks, i would exchange all those CV's with honesty and guts in Nigeria, And by the way the united states is still in deep poo wit its economy even though they have ivy leaguers as head of their regulatory agencies, So Mr katsumoto, we know your motives, stop stalking SLS, get a life
May you walk and never stumble.

That is my problem with so called foreign born NL INTELLECTUALs

They know everything even when they've never stepped on our soil

Again, may you live longer than Methuselah, Kbdrim.

May you walk and NEVER stumble, Kbdrim

May you never be afflicted with the self destructing disease of hubris and LOW self esteem, Kbdrim.

May you achieve all the desires that you may seek, Kbdrim.

Listen to the words of wisdom.

Leave him be. He has said the truth.


kbdrim:
Dude, I have not been paid, Im just saying the poster is being smart by half, There are intellectual forums for such discourse, It is certainly not nairaland, facebook or other social networking sites. If you want to be taken seriously as the poster wants to be made out let him go to such forums or better still publish his research in dailies, If SLS was the poster he wont hide his identity and spin crap on people who might not have an idea of what he is saying. Serious minded folks dont do that, He wants us to believe that he has done his homework maybe he has but Nairaland is not the place to dump his crap period.[size=18pt] If you are an activist come out openly lets know who you are, That is my point, If you do not have the courage to do that then u certainly are a coward and Nigeria doesnt need his type now[/size]. AN INTELLECTUAL WHO KNOWS HIS SALT WONT BE HAVING THIS DISCOURSE HERE, PERIOD
My sentiments exactly.

This is not the age of bojuboju. Only cowards hide behind the internet to sully people's reputation.

Cowards!  Shame on cowards!! 

May you live longer than your enemies, Kbdrim!

Sports'Some Players Were Madly Jealous Of Yekini At USA 94' - Oliseh by iragbijile(op): 11:15am On Jul 11, 2011
Former Super Eagles Captain , Sunday Oliseh believes Nigeria could have gotten better results from Rashidi Yekini at USA 94 and the team could have done better but for the deep rooted division in the team.

“Some of our our players were madly, sickly, mentally jealous and the moment Yekini was named the highest player. He was leaving for Panathinaikos.There was some Jealousy there and Yekini himself, He was not smart enough to calm things down…but with due respect…”

Oliseh believes Yekini was special “ A lot of things about it, you know,personally,if you look at it, , which other striker do we have in the history of Nigeria, who strikes 30 metres shots. If Yekini can count the number of goals at the highest level, it will be over a hundred… of all the Strikers we talk about in Nigeria, which other striker? He asks.

SportsAmos Adamu Not Guilty Of Bribe Allegations? by iragbijile(op): 4:15am On Jul 11, 2011
NFF receives apology from Qatar whistleblower
By Our Reporter 4 hours 5 minutes ago
Font size:

NFF

Nigeria, Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire have all received written apologies from the Qatar whistleblower for fabricating lies about Fifa exco members receiving bribes from the Qatar bid.
Arab-American Phaedra Almajid has been outed as the whistleblower and admitted to former World Soccer editor Keira Radnedge that she did something very wrong.

“I did something very wrong and I have to do everything I can, to put the records straight. I have to clear my conscience and cannot live with these lies anymore and I am very sorry to everyone I hurt, especially all my colleagues at the Qatar Bid.”
Almajid was employed by the Qatar bid between May 2009 and March 2010 and held the position of International Media Specialist, working closely with chief executive Hassan Al-Thawadi.

Almajid confessed that she fabricated the reports because she was upset at being sacked.

Part of the fabrication included claiming the bid offered bribes to Fifa executive committee members Issa Hayatou, Jacques Anouma and Amos Adamu and that it had been considering financial support for the Argentine federation led by Julio Grondona, Fifa’s senior vice-president.
Following her confession, she has now sent a letter of apology accompanied by a sworn affidavit of the true facts to Fifa, the Asian Confederation, CAF, the Qatar FA, and the Qatar World Cup 2022 Bid Committee as well as to Nigeria's NFF, Cameroon's FECAFOOT and Cote d'Ivoire's FIF.

Adamu and Reynaldo Temarii had earlier been suspended by Fifa on a separate vote-buying charges intigated by a sting carried out by the Sunday Times.
Almajid told Radnedge she had decided to make her retraction “because it is the right thing to do” and insisted she had not come under any outside pressure nor had she been offered any financial inducement.

Rumor has it that she couldnt graduate on time because she kept failing Aluko's class.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=710347.msg8690087#msg8690087 date=1310323845]Just skimming. BTW, I'm not sure of the point of this thread. I don't think anyone has denied that she has publications. They just aren't the type that'll get you a tenured or tenure-track position in an econ department at a top school.

Here is an example of the type of papers I'd be looking for:

http://www.princeton.edu/~chassang/research.html

Btw:
(A) I have no connection to the above guy, just found him semi-randomly
(B) he has a sloan fellowship, so is at least several cuts above even assistant profs in economics even at top schools. So not quite fair to compare this guy to just your average dude looking for a job as an assistant prof at princeton [to be clear, even such an "average dude" is wayyyy better than me, so don't get the wrong idea and think I'm disparaging 'em]



Hopefully you all see the difference in. . . how should I call it, substance between papers like:

1) “Fear of Miscoordination and the Robustness of Cooperation in Dynamic Global Games with Exit", Econometrica, 2010.
2) “Non-Asymptotic Tests of Model Performance", Economic Theory, 2009.
3) “Uniform Selection in Global Games", Journal of Economic Theory, 2008.

versus what the OP has linked to.[/quote]Exactly my point. Iweala's papers arent that top notch.  Only a fool like Zno and an un-exposed Nigerian like Seun would see that as something great.

Even, Paul Krugman's weekly article in the NYT has more quality that the crappppppp ZnO is blabbing about

And which industry Phd's are required to publish? The companies pay them as consultants not for the number of papers that end up in Science.

Anyhow, regarding your analysis on journal quality, i agree with you, but as you can tell, most of what I typed are half truths just so I could deflate ZnO's ego a lil, Me and SEFAGO do that all the time to ZnO aka Nchara.

ZnO:
Hhahah! I have published over 20 peer-reviewed articles even as a young scientist in the field,
That is because most of them are of very low quality. It is analogous to Nollywood (quantity) Vs. Yoruba-wood(quality) brouhaha

Most high quality investigators dont publish more than 1 or 2 a year, well, except if you are in social science or crop science where it is  quantity over quality.

80% of them as the first author.
In papers with multiple authors, I only care most about the last author and the second to the last author. The last author often gets the most credit because he or she is assumed to be the driving force, both intellectually and financially, behind the research. You being first author tells me you are most likely a 'gift' author and inconsequential in the research process, your contribution was most likely limited to washing test-tubes, entering data and general up keep of the lab. I dont envy you at all.


One of them is in[b] PNAS, where only the best of the best is published[/b].
PNAS? Only fools regard PNAS as highly as you do.




I have articles in Journal of Hazardous Materials, Environmental Pollution, Plant Cell and Environment, Environmental Science and Technology, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Chemosphere, Microbial Ecology, Plant Physiology, etc.
These are very low quality journals.





BTW, Iragbijile, Lancet is in the same league with Nature and Science. The very best for Nobel Prize winners in Science. I will get there.
It is actually called The Lancet or simply lancet, but NEVER 'Lancet.' The error is benign I know, but it shows your dearth of familiarity with The Lancet. It is one of the oldest medical journal, and that is where the reputation starts and ends, otherwise it is not, more or less, better than your 'eze gburugburu' PNAs or  Environmental Pollution hrdro-whatever journal.

The NEJM and JAMA are way above The Lancet in repute and impact and the 'Cell' is way more reputable than your shyyt arse discredited Science. Only Nature beats them all. I understand you dont know much about scientific journals since you dont read them often and you, unlike me, have never worked with world renown scientists. So I will forgive your ignorance this time around.  grin

Sucks to be you though. grin

How many people publish papers alone? 99.9% of published papers are co-authored.
That is correct for research papers.

on the other hand, 99.9% of opinions are authored by just one person. Only very rarely, are opinions co-authored. And when they are co-authored, it is the opinion of the last person mentioned that is more or less valuable.

In the same Brookings Journal, one unknown Olumide Taiwo published: Challenges and Possibilities for Progress in Nigeria. The Brookings Journal is just an in-house journal for lazy, idle, high earning rabble-rousers like Okonjo Iweala to while away time.

And the article in lancet? Isnt it the same lancet that published Andrew Wakefield's article?

Whether you like it or not, Iweala's articles are of very low quality and impact. 

I can understand why you are bowled over by the article, YOU have never published anything in your life, and there are very few Ibos out there with something tangible to publish, Unlike the plethora of Yorubas publishing real and high quality stuffs everyday, in every major journal.
