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

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

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

divineappo:
scam

They will end up chatting with one Yusuf or Tunde, living in Ibadan, claiming to be in USA

MrIcredible:
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

Emmani360:

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

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.

Lmao, dem go get grant reach unaab

Jman06:
Other universities and researchers have been winning grants without making much noise about it.

I know two professors of pharmacy from uniben who have won United States government's grants on Cancer research without announcing it. In fact, one is currently in the US on account of that.


Congrats to the grant winner though.

Vaughanlanrewaj:


Sir, grants have levels and getting grant of nearly N1B is huge. It is the dream of serious academics. The University of Lagos does not need to shout. The media know the name UNILAG is a brand that attracts cool urbane and positive "feel good "attention so they scout and fight to break news related to UNILAG sir.

Jman06:
And you think Unilag is the only university in the country to have won research grants to the tune of 1billion naira Like I mentioned before, professors from other universities win grants on regular basis, some to the tune of over a billion naira.
This one is even a grant from Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, and I am telling you people have won grants directly from the US governments.

Factshunter:


Yeah, just like we have audio, invisible billionaires in Anambra.

Only in fool paradise, you a grown man can claim what can not be proven or found.

Jman06:
So, what's your point That winning research grants among Nigerian researchers only starts and ends with Unilag

Like seriously?

joycedap:
But why announce it public knowing the federal government will want to loan the money from her,with or without her consent

Factshunter:


Nobody said that but stop coming online telling us what can not be proven by yourself. It makes you look like you are not serious or envious of this one.

Jman06:
But you didn't admonish the guy I quoted from boasting as though Unilag is the only university whose academics win research grants

For your information, my earlier assertion is valid and as I type this, a professor I know is in the US on account of that research grant. But since she and the rest decided not to blow their own trumpet for everybody to hear, it is not in my place to publicize it.

Factshunter:


No! I wouldn't agree with his claim but, I still insist, your claim is false until proven.

Jman06:
Like I mentioned before, I wouldn't state people's names here or reveal more details about their grants since they didn't publicize it themselves.
But if you insist my claim is false, that's akin to saying that only unilag's academics are capable of winning research grants, and you know that's not true!
