Today is my birthday, abeg make una help me celebrate!!!

Na only Tunde, Bimbo, Bisi and Funke I see o. I know some people will start wailing now. Omo oduduwa!

congrats to dem. but is Africa. just like professors in Nigeria.

Similar thing in Ghana as well.
Ghanaians have been living in peace with Nigerians (mostly Yoruba people) since pre-colonial times. All of a sudden, a new set of Nigerians started trooping to Ghana in the 90s/2000s and Ghana/Ghanaians started experiencing hell!
Today, it is the burden of ECOWAS treaties that is restraining Ghanaians from sending them away!

HONESTLY, LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH IT MEANS THAT THE IGBOS ARE FAR BETTER THAN YORUBAS. THATS THE TRUTH OF THE ENVY. THERE ARE MANY IGBOS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH A VERY GOOD PORTFOLIO BECAUSE THE YORUBAS FULL IN THE MEDIA INDUSTRY; THEY WILL NOT MENTION ABOUT SUCH PEOPLE BECAUSE THE ARE IGBOS RATHER THEY WILL PREFER TO SPREAD NEGATIVE ONES MEANWHILE THE YORUBAS ARE WORSE THAN IGBOS.

Your peanut monkey brain does not get it, do you?
If you are assuming that the "somebody" posting something is always Yoruba you are sadly mistaken. The actions of IGBO criminals around the world affects every single Nigerian ethnic group, in many bad ways. Many Nigerians from the North, South, West and East have to SUFFER abuse and humiliation in many hostile airports and communities around the world due to the actions of IGBO drug dealers and criminals!

I am a regular traveler and my work and leisure takes me to many parts of the world, so your useless assertion that

1, IGBOS ARE FAR BETTER THAN YORUBA is a blatant lie. for every 10 IGBO people I have encountered in Nigeria and abroad 90% are criminals, uneducated, illiterate and ignorant!

2, on "ENVY", I will never respect any tribe that has so many criminals to the point that Nigeria and countries around the world kill and imprison IGBO people like animals. The Chinese are now killing IGBO drug dealers in jails and using their kidneys and other organs for sick Chinese people! China has storage rooms filled with burnt (cremated) remains of IGBO drug dealers. WHAT USELESS ENVY

Many South Africans said the criminals that caused the killing of black foreigners are IGBO, where should the victims families send the bill for the deaths IGBOs caused

3, Did you say "THERE ARE MANY IGBOS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH A VERY GOOD PORTFOLIO" - where exactly? Show me so the next time I am in those places I will not call police for them on sight!
-MAJORITY OF successful IGBOS ARE criminals who were not caught

IGBO people are the reasons Nigerians refuse to tell others they are Nigerians, don't you f.u-c.ki.n..g get it?

If you don't know what IGBO people have done and are still doing to the reputation of Nigeria at home and abroad please do us all a massive favor and SHUT the f'c-k UP!!!!!!!

Current Activities and Research Interests
Prof Ozoemena is a modern materials scientist with a broad knowledge of electrochemistry. His research is highly interdisciplinary spanning several areas of Materials Science and Electrochemistry; from synthetic inorganic chemistry and electrochemical sensing to electrocatalysis and electrochemical energy systems. Since March 2009 that he joined the CSIR to lead their Electrochemical Energy Technologies Unit, his research in materials electrochemistry has grown and strengthened quite remarkably. Presently, his research focus is on the electrochemistry of nanostructured materials, nanostructures of carbons, and redox-active N4-macrocyclic metal complexes (e.g., metallophthalocyanines) with a view to establishing their potential applications inthe development of electrochemical energy systems (i.e., fuel cells, electrochemical capacitors, and lithium/sodium ion batteries). His research group (comprising more than 20 CSIR scientists, post-doctoral research fellows, and post-graduate research students) carries out both fundamental and applied research, and employs a multi-disciplinary approach to their investigations with a repertoire of sophisticated techniques including advanced electrochemistry (e.g., voltammetry, amperometry and impedance spectroscopy), AFM, HRTEM, FESEM, XPS, EDX and XRD. Current research projects include:
•Electrode materials for lithium ion batteries and electrochemical capacitors
•Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at nanostructured platforms (fuel cells)
•Alcohols oxidation reactions (AOR) at nanostructured platforms (fuel cells)
•Metallophthalocyanines in electrochemical energy systems

It is clear that Igbos have been running things in the SA academic system before Yorubas were even thought of.
As a matter of fact, Many of these newbie Yoruba profs in SA were introduced to that country by their Igbo friends

A Nigerian, Professor Umezurika Opara, yesterday emerged winner of the African Union Kwame Nkrumah Continental Scientific Award in the field of Life and Earth Science.
The $100,000 award was conferred on Opara during the 26th Session of the AU Assembly of Heads of State and Government held at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

South African Professor Tenello Nyokong equally got the $100,000 award in the field of Basic Science Technology and Innovation.
The ceremony was moderated by the AU Commissioner for Human Resources, Science and Technology Martial De Paul Ikounga, who explained that the Kwame Nkrumah Continental Scientific Awards was awarded at three levels - national, regional and continental--to honour African men and women in science who distinguished themselves by their contributions to African development through their work in the field of research and training.
Ikounha noted that the programme was a joint effort of the Commission and her Development Partners, particularly the European Commission.
Speaking on behalf of the awardees, Nyokong expressed the hope that African scientists would make remarkable progress towards a healthier and better Africa in the next decade, particularly in finding solutions to the biggest problems on the continent.

Levi Ohale, D.V.M., Ph.D.

Professor of Veterinary Anatomy
D.V.M., University of Ibadan, Nigeria
Ph.D., Iowa State University

Dr. Ohale taught anatomy at the University of Nigeria at Nsukka from 1980-1993, serving as Head of the Dept. of Anatomy from 1987-1993. He then move to South Africa where he was involved in teaching of gross anatomy in the Medical University of South Africa from 1993-1999. He then joined the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Onderstepoort from 1993-2003, teaching gross anatomy of both large and small animals. He was named Emeritus Professor of Anatomy on his retirement in 2003, after which he moved to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine where he taught anatomy until the end of 2009. He moved to St. Matthew’s University in January 2010, where he is professor of anatomy with an interest in developing research projects in cardiovascular anatomy and the effects of parasites on animals.
