Nigerian Samuel Adeloju Invents Buoyancy Bazooka Which Could Save Lives At Sea-CNET

Aderoju is from a small part of ogun state clan in west africa of nigeria, a peaceful town

Back in the old days, there was healthy competition amongst the region in scientific expedition, intellectual rivalry but what do we have now. Divisions and political rivalry. Let us vote for leaders who have spent time abroad and understands how civilised countries work. Where justice and rule of law knows no person or bounds.
People who have been entrenched in nigeria way of life do no longer differentiate between 'corrupt' practices and culture. God help us and more kudos to nigerians like prof Adepoju.

Aussie to the core. Even his Day has been over there for yonks...see my post above

Professor Sam Adeloju graduated from Murdoch University with a BSc in Chemistry, followed by a Grad.App.Sc (Chemistry), Grad.Sc.Ed and M.App.Sc from Curtin University of Technology, and then received his PhD in Chemistry from Deakin University in 1985. Prior to taking up the position of Head of School and a Chair in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry at Monash in 2002, Professor Adeloju was Professor of Chemistry and Environmental Science, as well as the Head of the Penrith Campus of the School of Science, Food and Horticulture within the College of Science, Technology and Environment at the University of Western Sydney (UWS). His term as Head of School at Monash ended in February 2010 and he is currently a Professorial Chair in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry, as well as the Director of Research Development in Science and Engineering.

Professor Adeloju has an international reputation in the areas of biosensing technology, nanotechnology, electroanalytical and environmental chemistry. He has published over 250 papers in these areas in journals, books and conference proceedings. He was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Analytical and Marine Chemistry at Goteborg University in 1992 and in the Oceanography Laboratories at the University of Liverpool in 1993. He was the recipient of the 1997 Royal Australia Chemical Institute's Citation for outstanding contributions to the profession and the Institute; the 2001 Eckart Australia Visiting Professor at the University of Tasmania; and was awarded the prestigious 2009 Applied Research Medal by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute for outstanding contribution to the development of applied chemistry in Australia within 1999 and 2009, particularly in the areas of applied electrochemistry, biosensing technology and nanotechnology.

Professor Adeloju was also a co-Founder and Inaugural Chair of the Western Sydney Section of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) in 1989 and was the Chairman of the Electrochemistry Division of RACI from 1994-1997. He is currently on the editorial boards of some journals, and a member of several committees and boards, including the Science Panel for Victoria Coastal Council, Scientific Advisory Board for Defence Intelligence Organisation (Canberra), and Management Committee for Chemistry in Australia (Royal Australia Chemical Institute). Professor Adeloju is also the external adviser for chemistry at the University of South Pacific in Fiji and an Ozreader for Australian Research Council.

I am so proud of you brother, keep your creative mind going and you will continue to excel.

Am proud of you brother,keep your creative going and you will continue to excel.

GOOD ONE, BROTHER.

If the guy was in Nigeria, he would have been lost in the maze of reality shows like Naija Sings, Big Brother, Maltina Dance, Project Fame, Beauth Competition, Comedy Shows etc. Let us encourage development of science and technology and deemphasize arts and culture

This is good news to hear we are moving . This kind of project are stuffs done in university fairs and they are not really invention they are combination of peoples inventions and discovery. But this goes a long way to show that Nigerians has potential to be great. It will be great to find a nigeria spear heading the Large Hadron collider project for instance .

We can do it.Even with bad leaders present .We can bloom in hostile situation that what we do best.

Good job my brother. We Nigerians in diaspora wont stop doing our best to clean d name our corrupt leaders have soiled.

ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE SHOWN THAT AS A PEOPLE WE ARE INGENIOUS..........THE PROBLEM IS OUR INEPT & CORRUPT RULERS!!!!

CONTROL yourself for once.

(Unless of course you also believe that Soyinka is Christopher Okigbo returned from the dead.)

Kudos budy! This is great news for a change. This is actually a breath of fresh air for the young people of Naija

I think Adeloju is an igbo man from Aba!!!

Good job! you don try...refreshing news. there are much more smart folks in naija but they are supressed and oppressed by our stupid leaders.
God bless you'all

Kudos buddy.! More grease to your 'intelligent' elbow.

Congrats buddy, if they dont value our skill at home, we take abroad and excel there.

we are happy a black man achieved this feat.

upcoming generations can draw inspirations from this. Afterall, all hope is not lost.

Some positive news, at least a breath of fresh air.

Hope Ciroma and co reads this. Their generation is only interested in bigotry and stealing -breeding millions of almajiris and destroying so many raw talents in the process.

They love to flaunt themselves as elder statesmen demanding to be heard. They have not only wrecked everything good about Nigeria, they largely succeeded in corrupting the new generation -God help Nigeria.

The likes of Samuel shows there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Lets claim him fast even though he is Australian but of Nigerian heritage.

 This is a good one Sam, please keep the fire burning. We need people of your type on mother earth instead of war mongers.

My hearty congratulations to you, Sam. But you are not Australian but a Nigerian. Nigeria's loss is Australia's gain! Nigeria will keep losing people like you because our leaders do not know that having people like you begins with creating a high school environment that will nurture such talents. Our leaders care for their selfish ends far much more than they care for the ordinary Nigerian. Their policies are so steeped in selfishness that you wonder whether they have conscience at all.

In the 1950s up to the 60s, the regional governments gave out secondary school scholarships (free tuition, feeding, et. al) for deserving and intelligent students like you, but that is now in the past. A Nigerian physician in New Jersey, United States, told me that if he did not have Eastern Nigerian government scholarship for his secondary school education he would have been a village palm wine tapper! Today, because he is educated, his offsprings, four children, are all medical doctors. In addition, he has offered scholarships to three secondary and three university students hailing from his home town.

With all the revenue Obasanjo government collected from oil from 1999 to 2007, they never awarded a single secondary school scholarship. Nigerians foisted a man with the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of a ten years old as their President!! What do you get? What we got is what they call 'garbage in, garbage out'. I rest my case, my brother, God bless you.

Hehe, i like this.

Lets use it to shoot some ass

Of course, he will come from Australia. Let him be a bomber or 419, then they will trace his origin to Nigeria.

Kudos to my fellow countryman. Nigerians can surely rule the World in Science and Technology if given the necessary support.Keep the flag flying brother, and God bless you for making us proud.

This is so cool..Welldone Sam!.Kudos to you..
There are many Sam Adelojus in Nigeria, but our bad leaders have failed to provide the enabling environment for these youngsters to blossom.
Many are sent to an early grave. The graveyards in Nigeria are filled with undiscovered geniuses, whose brilliant ideas were buried with them.

This is the kind of news we love to hear..Not boko haram or Ciroma

Very cool indeed. May this be the first of many from him. I'm proud and impressed.

Nigerians are the best brains in the world. What they need is a condisive environment which a country that recorgnises corrupt politicians, can not give them. How many times have you heard of national awards being given to somone in Nigeria, because he did some thing, that projects Nigerian image to the world.
A professor emeritus, from Enugu State, invented voting machines two years ago, he shouted for recorgnition, until his voice became cracked, and no body listened. He is quiet, now. But if he was one illitrate, that dropped out of secondary school, stole some money and sponsored a candidate or rigged one election, he would have been given GCON. Failed nation!

Very Well done and congratulations
