Now that's scary,

In other words, the guy wants to build brains that might decide eventually that they are superior to humans and decide to take over.

Naa....don't want that.!

We might need john connor incase dis guys skynet goes genocidal

This stupid country may have condemned him to a lifetime of teaching computer science in secondary schools, repairing laptops at Computer Village or, if he can't take it anymore, Internet scamming.

Thanks goodness he escaped this sh!t-hole of a country.

these are the types of youngmen I like reading about and meeting,not Evans types of guys,wire boys,codeine and weed consumers,drug users,politic thugs. etc
thanks for making us proud young man. Nigeria can still do it

I keep telling ppl that the best decision they can make in theirlife is to leave nigeria. What someone thinks he knows and is been hailed in nigeria aa a kingkong ,the person will find out it is the just the basic beginning of knowledge in other developed countries. Talents are wasting away in nigeria sadly

But Dangote, became the richest blank man on the planet from Nigeria, richer than the richest black American! Just believe, those who failed in Nigeria will most likely fail in USA

Checkout who is called Leo Stan Ekeh and Zinox. He didn't end up like described. Just stop these assaults on Nigeria, that's why you not seeing the opportunities.

skynet

I don't think we are near Skynet yet.....to get there, it might mean that a robot with a positronic brain should be able to replicate itself without human intervention...and that is still decades away.

Anyway....it is still a scary thought.

Dangote came from a rich family. Had the best education and connections. He travelled out then came back to nigeria. Yes I agree nigeria is where the money is but if you want to realise your true potentials and exploit your talents to the fullest , nigeria hasnt got thay system to bring out the best in you. Look at every elite and top professional in nigeria today making waves they all went outside to gather the knowledge and expertise they are using now

Indeed its scary but its inevitable. The era of homo sapiens is almost at an end and just like we took over from homo erectus, Neanderthals etc, these creations of our hands and brains will replace us someday.

The only question is when?

But at least H.Sapiens lived/coexisted with Neanderthals for several thousands of years....in fact almost every human with the exception of Black Africans has Neanderthal genes...we did not create them.

I doubt H. Sapiens is at an end yet....we probably have several thousands of years to go....and we probably, in my opinion, would eventually evolve into partially tech-based entities.

Nigeria is a stupid country, and it's a pity you see opportunities but you didn't see the three letter words in my post: may.

Sorry.

Dont let anyone ddeceive you oo. Take the failure in nigeria abroad and place him in a good school and see if he wony become a global success. It is all about the environment. Even goats change and behave normally when they are takenaway from africa and nigeria.

Just like we'll live/coexist with them for sometime too. My "soon" is spoken in the context of the millions of years that homos evolved to reach the present generation of H. Sapiens.

Considering H.Erectus thrived for about 2 million years while Sapiens have been around for around 200,000 years, some thousands years down the road doesn't seem like much time. I just hope we don't destroy ourselves first

Environment enhances the talents amd skills of ppl. Dont let nigeria leaders deceive you. How many of their kids are studying in nigeria. If anyone tells you that what you learn in nigeria ia the same as abroad abeg slap that person. You cant compare an environment with the best IT facilities at cheap cosy and conducive environment for research to cult infested institutions in nigeria where lecturers are always going on strike. If you have yhe opportunity to travel and study abroad you may pass it to your younger ones and stay in nigeria . It is all about proudly Nigeria

this one issa geek

am not a member of name checkers association because we don't do that nonsense here in edo state but let me say because this oshiorenoya is from edo the poster didn't specify his state of origin.
Edo always excel but they don't make noise!

have this natural likeness for computers
wanted to get computer science or computer engineering but luckily for me uniben gave me one. computer science
but computer engineering would have been better so I can learn computer hard wares like this oshiorenoya
but instead uniben gave me computer science so I will be killing myself on programming. Pascal, fortran.
anyway am managing it. at all at all na im bad

A proud Auchi genius

I have passed school age and luckily I studied in Nigeria and presently working in Nigeria. I am successful, not because the environment supported me (with all the challenges you listed), but i insisted that failure is not an option and it worked for me. I have travelled across the world and the truth is that Africa is the next destination for opportunities, Incidentally Africans/Nigerians are runing the other way. A word in enough for the wise. Look inside bro

DieBuhari:
Edo Man doing us proud

Sharraaaap!

He is from Cross River

Many of the guys forming Naija patriots have no goddamn idea what it takes to be a scientist or to be a high tech inventor. Modern science HEAVILY requires money.

Let me break it down:

So, you have a great idea or a hypothesis that's testable. First you need to make samples, then you characterize your samples, obtain data, analyse, draw conclusions. If successful, you make some breakthrough.

Economics 101 of Modern Experimental Science:

Stage 1: Make samples: In modern science, most need grade III clean rooms which runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars, film making equipment from simple thermal evaporators to MBEs equipped with expemsive in-situ xterisation tools like RHEED, mass spectrometer, ion gauges etc which runs into millions of dollars. And of course, many of these equipment run under UHV environment which requires TMPs, Cryo pumps, Ion pumps, etc. All together stage 1 is in millions of dollars of investment.

Stage 2: Xterisation: Most standard materials characterisation centers in the world have XRD, SEM, HRTEM, ARPES, SQUID, SIMS... the list is almost endless. A cold emission gun TEM is more than a million dollars. Many of these equipment are easily $500k per piece. You also need service contracts for each of them!

That's exactly why scientists apply for grants well into the million dollar regime.

Now, let's to back to Oshiorenoya, who I've known his story for almost 2 years now, I remember he did his 1st PhD in Optical Microscopy, can't remember his second. A simple Google search will show you the state of the art equipment necessary to do research in such field. None of the universities in Naija have these equipment. Even if they wanted it, they can't afford it.

To state it bluntly, if Oshiorenoya stayed in Naija, his dreams would be dead and gone. If you stay in Naija, it doesn't matter how smart you are, how quickly you read Cohen-Tannoudji's 2 Volume tome on non-relativistic quantum mechanics, you will never have access to the equipment, services and funding necessary for you to make it.

It's a fucking fact!

Our government has basically condemned every person whose dream is to become a scientist, a high tech engineer, etc etc to broken people who have no choice but to hustle around, doing sh!T jobs that's beneath their skill set, all because they have no interest in funding quality education.

In good societies, 25 year olds are making breakthroughs in the field of quantum optics, information theory, etc etc. Some Chinese guy who's less than 40 lead a team that smashed the record for longest distance of beaming quantum entangled photons, paving way for un-hackable communication.

While our youth rot away. The next generation would most definitely go the same way... and the next.

Lesson: if you love your STEM inclined child, fight for his future! Fight for good education in this country. Else, your children's dreams would suffer the same date as yours!

Baba Thank you so much. If I am the one saying all these,ppl will say I am not patriotic . If you have the chance and you know you have potentials ,then get the hell out of that country nigeria and move to a place you can fulfill ur ambitions.

Bros no allow them destroy your life with those archaic languages, endeavor to learn modern High Level languages that can help your career. That will help you keep up with (if not overtake) other guys in developed countries.

Well said Sir

NO MATTER THE WAHALA...WE ARE GREAT....NOTHING CAN STOP THE NAIJA SPIRIT IN EACH ONE OF US.....WE ARE ALL DESTINE FOR GREATNESS.............I PLEDGE TO NIGERIA MY COUNTRY!!

good idea

Philip emegweali would have ended up been a lecturer if he had stayed in nigeria ,today he is one of the leading computer scientist in the whole world. Comparing developed advanced countries opportunities to that of nigeria isnt feaslble at all.
We must learn to face the facts. With little knowledge in a feild you can become a big boss in nigeria and feel good about it but universally the person will be nobody

Quite awesome... Thumbs up to him...

Wrong...if you lookat that boy closely, you will know straight away that He is nothing of Edo. He is probably Bar. Kanu Agabi's son or relations. Kanu Agabi is a Bekwarra man from Cross River North...most of the folks from that area are generally called 'Ogoja People'
