ekt_bear: 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)?

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.

ekt_bear: Heh.

Jarus, any comments?

Btw...wth is the "National University of Sacramento?" Never heard of this place before in my life...

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

Victor E. Dike's Overview

Current

Teacher at Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD)
CEO/Founder at Center for Social Justice and Human Development (CSJHD), Sacramento, CA
Adjunct Professor at National University

Adjunct Professor at National University (Sacramento Center)


Past

Network Technician at Elk Grove High School (EGUSD)

Education

Drexel University, Sacramento Center For Graduate Studies
University of North Texas, Denton, Texas
University of Central Oklahoma, Edmond, Oklahoma

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!

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!

Beaf: ^
Exactly! Plagiarism is fraud and theft. It is low, low behaviour.

Shi ke nan!

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)

Nigerian life expectancy has decrease gradually over the years. The WHO occassionally cites malaria as the leading cause of death, but I strongly suspect that cancer may be on the rise due to poor environmental review regime in Nigeria.
I wonder what FEPA (if they still exist) has on the books. I'll research it a little and post my findings later.
I'll be back!

This issue has been on my mind for a very long time, and today, it was rattled by a similar thread here on Nairaland (https://www.nairaland.com/921834/roasted-chicken-sold-openly-lagos#10667946 ).

I wonder what environmental review processes (EIR/EIA) that are required from industrialists in Nigeria.
This problem exist in ALL PARTS OF NIGERIA, so please let no one derail this thread because it may save oneself, friends and family members

I have personally noticed increased cases of unexplained sicknesses and deaths in my town (Nnewi), and I've become more worried about what could be causing these deaths. Just last year, a friend's mum came to the US with a strange growth in her mouth, and she was lucky that she came early enough, because once she got to the hospital (my friend took her to emergency ), they were shocked to see the growth, and swang into action immediately to remove the growth. She is from a very industrial section of town in Nnewi, and I suspect that she may be a victim of some of these industrial pollutants.

As far as I know, there are no clear environmental control processes in place for such industries as batteries and other car parts manufactured in Nnewi. What worries me most is that these industries are in the elevated parts of town, and their effluents/discharges inevitably seep into the water table/ground and run down stream with underground water, to the rivers and streams. Villagers still use the water from these streams and rivers for everything: drinking, cooking, bathings etc.

Anyone in the house who is knowlegeable about Anambra, Igbo or Nigerian environmental review processes should please share it with us.
Poor environmental review process is IMHO the single biggest existential threat to the Nigerian peoples.
We can have development and strong environmental review regime. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Environmental pollution is the single BIGGEST existential THREAT TO NIGERIA.
That the FG or State governments are not freaking out big time about his sure death syndrome beats my imagination.

Right now, my biggest fear is that my town (often termed industrial) is a ticking time bomb, because as far as I know, no one has ever demanded environmental review process from any private industrialist in any part of Anambra state. We are in a hurry to go industrial, but we may end up wiped out by carcinogens before we may see the jobs or economic benefits of these industries.

ogugua88: For anyone that's interested, I recommend Stop That Smoke by Henry Obermeyer. It's a very old book, from the 1930s or so, but that era was one of terrible pollution. I bought that book after returning to the US from Lagos. If I were a pathologist, I'd go home just to examine lungs of the newly deceased, no joke. Riverside, California is one of the most polluted cities in the United States. I lived there for a few years for studies. I must say that the air in Riverside is the freshest of air compared to Lagos air. When I was staying in Lag, I'd wash my hair and the water was dark brown to black. I'd come home from a day out in Ikoyi and use my fingernail to scrape dirt from my forehead. Under my nail was black. Air is the silent killer in Naija. I pity those with asthma or emphysema.With that kind of air, food should not be exposed outside at all. People should not be hawking from dusk till dawn.

chei! Eko oni baje lai lai.

Where is Babapupa Eko-ile ?

ndu_chucks: That plane can intercept and neutralize jet bombers and[b] can also drop bombs[/b]. You better stick with being an Eze, olodo

So because it can drop bombs that defines it as a BOMBER.
Anyway, you can believe whatever you want. I don't even know why I would need you to believe me. hehe!

BTW how come you contradicted yourself with the first bolded?

ndu_chucks: LOL, OK, its a fighter which cannot drop bombs but oranges for ya'all to quench your thirst.

Please tell us what a fighter jet does besides dropping bombs and firing missles. Take a closer look at the picture and you'll see an orange attached to it.
mumu

It is still a FIGHTER, not a BOMBER. If I'm planning to neutralize either I would use totally different stratagems. FACT.
Atulu ugwu.

Beaf: Rhino is the one who is biching because he cannot acknowledge the fact that Lagos would need to negotiate to remain buoyant.
About the North, sadly you are mistaken. They are not ready to go anywhere and sentiment alone does not build nations, you've got to be pragmatic as well.
Where will your borders be? Who will go with you? There are quite a few unanswered fundamental questions.
The only positive I can take from the core-Northern position is that it make a national conference easier to accomplish. However, the talk of separation just might be negotiating tactics (just asking like for equal oil revenues) to set the bar so high that the status quo is maintained.

Smart man.

ndu_chucks: You have accidentally written a sensible post here. The bolded is a key point not understood by many NL bigots - you seem to get it. You then went ahead to spoil everything by the ignorance you displayed in the post below:


To cure your of ignorance fueled by self hatred, here is an operational[b] [size=14pt]bomber[/size] [/b]belonging to the great NAF.


Nigerian airforce aircraft F7-Ni
https://pilotsandplanesmilitary.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/800px-Nigerian_F71.jpg

My friend that is NOT a BOMBER.
It is a FIGHTER.

NorthSharp: Even some of your Igbo brothers and sisters would shake their heads in disappointment at the level of absurdity you exhibited in your claim in the part in bold; a Hausa of Fulani man claiming to be Ikechukwu "just to shortchange the SE during army and civil service recruitment"! Every sane person who is familiar with Nigeria would tell you that it is THE OTHER WAY ROUND!

But in any case, can you take up the challenges I threw at your NL Eze, which are as follows:

!. Can you tell JUST ONE Hausa-Fulani poster on this forum who uses an IGBO NAME as part of his moniker, for whatever reason or motive, and he/she sticks to using that moniker so religiously, passionately, proudly and for so long as your rejected Igbo brother Ndu Chucks continues to do?

!! And can you name ONE Hausa-Fulani or Northerner (or any NON-IGBO for that matter) who would so proudly state on a public forum like this that HE/SHE HAS IGBO BLOOD RUNNING IN HIS VEINS if that is NOT the case?

You avoided the main poser in my post, which is this: IF YOU ARE SO SURE THAT NDU_CHUCKS IS NOT A HAUSA/FULANI, HOW DARE YOU INSIST THAT HE IS IGBO?
How do you know that he is Igbo?
You can only say that he is not a Hausa/Fulani (which doesn't exist anyway because you are either Hausa or Fulani), and stop there. You cannot say more than that.
What speaks for Ndu_chucks loud and clear on this forum is his posts which encapsulate his core being. It is that being that defines a person. Ndu_chucks celebrates and lionizes Northern mass murderers like General Murtala Muhammad(who committed genocide against Igbo in Asaba) among others. He resolutely defends the actions of Northern military personnel during the war in their pillaging and destruction of Igboland. For a very looooooooooong time on this forum he derided Ojukwu and mocked Biafran war heroes. Above all, till tomorrow, he justifies the shooting of UNARMED MASSOB (Igbo people), and never misses an opportunity to issue more threats to Igbo should they attempt a violent secession, part of which came out in this thread, hence this exchange.

At a very early stage in this forum, many Igbo including myself challenged him on his moniker which sounds Igbo. He told everyone who cared to listen that his moniker is NOT IGBO. He pointed out that his name is not CHUKS, but CHUCKS (a clear difference) and attacked people who thought he was Igbo back then. When it suits his devilish objectives, he states a laughable and windy claim to having 25% Igbo blood!
What type of a ludicrous claim is that? You are either Igbo or you are not. And I'm sorry to say this, but I am not easily deceived (like you). I also find your claim about Igbo denying their tribe very stupid and disingeneous. NO IGBO EVER DENIES BEING IGBO. In fact I have seen MANY MANY MANY countless people on this forum claiming to be Igbo when they are NOT. Some do so for mischievious reasons, others do so for subversive reasons. In fact, Igbo is the most claimed tribe on this forum. You don't have to believe me. I am yet to see a REAL Igbo person claiming to have any other blood in him even if that is that case, unless he is trying to advance Eastern unity or Biafran agenda. But even at that, such persons maintain CLEARLY that they are Igbo. No Igbo claims other tribe to advance Nigerian unity. IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.

So, like I said, your Northern brother ndu_chucks may not be Hausa or Fulani, but he is certainly a CORE northerner.

Okay, I have a few observations and would follow them up with assertions.

Northsharp, I see that you are worried that ndu_chucks ( a total and committed CORE Northerner ) is using threats of violence to drive his political agenda, having failed woefully to do so with superior logic. You are not being sincere in your argument (or at least you are not being REALISTIC) in your position about ndu_chuks not being a Northerner.
It is even most offensive and insulting to insinuate that ndu_chucks is Igbo!

Take your time and search this site dutifully, and I assure you that you would not find ONE Igbo who reminds us that the Nigerian airforce bases are in the North, or that the jets taking off from those bases would obliterate Igboland (PH ) or Warri.
If you see such a poster, please show me!

You may not be confortable with his stratagems (as a Northerner yourself) , but it changes nothing about his origins and above all LOYALTY. if you are so sure that he is not a Northerner, how dare you tell us that you are sure that he is Igbo?

As far as I'm concerned, a man is an embodiment of his total being. One of the most critical parts of that being is his LOYALTY.
Any man who sides consistently and permanently with a tribe that committed the greatest genocide against Ndigbo can NEVER be Igbo.
If ndu_chucks is Igbo, then Adolf Hitler was a Jew!

Jakumo: The voice of Biafra, Okokondem, must make an appearance on this new radio station, in order that we may take it seriously.

I can hear him now. " The federal vandals have once again been routed by the gallant forces of the rising sun, and the cowards are again on the run."

Jakumo always makes my day.

Negro_Ntns: Thank you Willy!


To all those calling Steiner a hero,

Britain supported your enemy and they supplanted their agents, amongst whom was Steiner, in Biafra to collect tactical data, in addition to earning foreign currency. You are bufuddled by his German citizenship to think he was on your side. . . dude worked for British government. Did you not know this? I am surprised an agent of your enemy is your HERO!!

What are you about on this thread?
Did anyone say that Effiong is not a die hard Biafran hero?
Isn't this about Steiner?

My friend do you even have shame at all?

Mowire: Is this not the one that had the best weapon supplies the from Biafran authorities and throw "carnivals" before going to the front.
Which books have you been reading?

How did that change his heroics and the fact that he fought for Biafra FREE OR CHARGE?
Some of you have no souls, honestly.

alj harem: There wouldn't be an war

ndu_chucks threatened it. I am only showing him his blind spots.

BTW ndu_chucks, did your brain freeze in 1967?
Why can't you see that things aren't exactly like they were then?
I'll give you some examples.

Do you know how easy it was for the North to kick Ernest Sonekan to the curb?
You do recall how the North was running Obasanjo like a houseboy in 1976-80, right?
You do recall how remarkably different the same Obasanjo was in 1999-2007 (even till today)? Right?
Do you recall how Adaka Boro's "revolution" was rounded up in a few days, and how current MEND gave a completely different account of themselves.
This GEJ you are seeing may lead to your FINAL downfall in Nigeria.

I warned you once that the next war that you would see in Nigeria will almost be like a flipped Biafran war, with only the core North fighting the rest of Nigeria. You would do well to take that advice to heart and repent.
Gaskiya kawai.

ndu_chucks: Onlytruth lies, why do you feel so superior to your Igbo brethren here that you are compelled to explain what they wrote, as if to say that they are intellectually inferior to you. I suppose its due to the pathological Ego based ailment, prevalent in your neck of the woods.

Every one of your followers, including the normally talkative ones like Sam_Ikenna (he is probably a pastor), have avoided the point I've made concerning Edwin Clark. Because the way you are being used by Clark and GEJ is frankly, shameful, I understand your wish to avoid the topic. Dede1 would have confronted the issue head on, albeit, after calling the country a cesspit. That Igbo boy would never shy away from constructively criticizing Clark or any one else unlike the peon, Onlytruth.

The political naivity of the SE leaders never ceases to amaze me. Onlytruth, mgbo piafuka gi isi. Onye ara.

So, you mean I should have simply started to type the exact same words already well presented by my brothers (and even Rhino)?
Is that how big your ego is?
Anyway, don't worry about my "ego". The guys and I are in TOTAL agreement on this.
What next? hehe!

Biafra4tharmy: Rolf steiner was a professional soldier of fortune born in Munich, Bavaria on January 3,1933. He rose to the level of Lt Commander of the 4th Commando Brigades in the Biafra Army during the Nigerian civil war . He was the son of a protestant father and catholic mother, steiner's father had been decorated in the first world war as part of manfred Von Richthofen Squadron. In 1967, while living in paris he made contact with former colleague Roger faulques who was organizing a mercenary unit for the newly independent Republic of Biafra . Steiner flew to port harcourt via Lisbon,portugal and enlisted into the Biafra army as a company commander . Steiner had success in the field and was given the responsibility of organizing the 4th Biafra commando Brigade as a Lt col. On may 25, 1968 they led a successful mission against a federal Nigeria air field in Enugu destroying six Russia made bomber and fighter aircraft. Steiner far from being a mercenary fought for the Biafra without Pay

A very RARE man and a hero to my people.
May God grant him absolution and eternal rest reserved only for those who fought on the side of justice. Amen!

hehehe!
Let me see how ndu_chucks- a typical CORNERED mass murder advocate- would advance his argument without threats of force!
Well, my response is already well presented by my Igbo brothers here. So, I would just cut and paste it again!

So, here we go!

PointB: Ndi Igbo,
I think we would do well to avoid falling for ndu_chucks bait. The clown asked what we (Igbos) have benefited in an Ijaw man's less than two years reign. Isn't it funny how he conveniently failed to tell us what we have benefited from 38 years regime of the clueless northern rulers. More importantly, what has Nigeria benefited from 38 years rule of the North.

Another one!

Sam_Ikenna: ndu_chuks pls dont kill me with you jokes. Which one be epistle writer. Anyway, I'm not in the mood or, better put, in shape to be on NL today. I know you, you're a staunch die-hard core north voice and I'ld be a fool to fall for your bait. Why did you single out Igbo? Is SE the only region that voted for GEJ? Its clear SE is the reason you guys have not fried GEJ like Akara jojo. We dont need you to tell us who Edwin Clark is, we know him inside-out, however, Edwin Clark is not Ijaw nation neither is he GEJ, he is just one man representing himself and for that we will not throw our Ijaw brothers under the bus. Isnt it funny how you guys held on to your neighbours up north very tight yet you want to create katakata for us and our brothers? We're wiser now. GEJ will finish his first term in one piece and if he says hes going for a second term we, the Eastern people, will fact-check his promises and actions.

This one, though not from Igbo, nevertheless na die!

Rhino.5dm:
What do you mean by 5 air strikes on PH and Warri?

Dude, the promise of just one month crude oil production revenue to russia or NATO forces would send torrential rainfall of tom hawk missiles all over the north, incenerating the whole desert back to first centuary BC. Stop thinking silly!


Besides, those facilities you are threatening to attack belongs to US, France, Italy, Germany and Canada. You are welcome!!!

You know, somehow ndu_chucks can't think past 1967.
A really pitiable character.

Where is careytommy? lol
He as an Easterner should know better than to lie and change history thinking he can get away with it.
It is irresponsible and dumb to attempt such.
The truth is that Nzeogwu/Ifeajuna coup remains the pioneer junior officer coup in Nigeria. Every other junior officer coup basically tried to copy them and make a few amends in the stratagem, but the spirit remained the same.
The "Orkar coup" was almost a mirror image of the Nzeogwu coup except the part of excision of Northern Nigeria and killing of politicians and military assets who may resist.

careytommy: The only coup that's ever been planned by mid-level officers was the 'Orkar'(Mukoro) coup
All others were initiated by generals including the 'Nzeogwu'(Ifeajuna) coup.

Sir, maybe this part of Nigerian history skips me a little. Would you mind naming the "General" that initiated the Nzeogwu/Ifeajuna coup?
Thank you for a quick answer sir.

Interesting read.

Charles Chukwuma Soludo.

Nnanne m Ikenna, I sent you an email.

Okay, this is the point I exit the thread.

Bottomline for peace to reign in a disintegrated Nigeria:

There will be no FORCED mass movement of people back to their so called ancestral lands.
If you are Yoruba in Aba or Onitsha, you have become a Biafran by default with FULL citizenship rights.
The same MUST apply to all Nigerians living in the emergent nations.
Anything else will lead to the type of war never seen anywhere before.
A word is enough for the wise.

Signing off,
Yours truly,

Onlytruth, Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland.

ODUA_NEGRO: Onlytruth, after they burn Lagos, how would they get out to head East? . . . or do they plan on dying in their inferno?

I want to see how Ibo will burn Lagos and then travel through Ogun and Ondo states safely on his escape route back home.

That is where we in the East come into the fray. I know Yoruba won't dare us.

strangerf: ^^^^

Kanshumoto is back!

This niggerrrr is back!!!

lol! I kicked his hinny a couple of weeks back.
