Africa Must Innovate or Perish – Part 5

By Philip Emeagwali Excerpt from Nigeria’s 50th anniversary lecture at the Embassy of Nigeria, Paris. Nigeria has approximately a 50-year supply of oil if no new oil is found. In a world without oil, the cutlass will replace the farm tractor. We know most oilfields have been discovered and that oil exists in limited quantities.

Oil Tanks Exhausted, Think Tanks Needed (4)

 By Philip Emeagwali Excerpt from Nigeria’s 50th anniversary lecture at the Embassy of Nigeria, Paris.

A Nigeria Without Oil – Part 3

By Philip Emeagwali
Excerpt from Nigeria’s 50th anniversary lecture at the Embassy of Nigeria, Paris.

I wish to look back to 1960, and forward to 2060, to share my thoughts about the challenges to, and opportunities for, building a stronger Nigeria through technology. In the past 50 years, Nigeria has grown economically stronger through its use of technology to discover and then recover petroleum.

AFRICA: Then, Now and Forever

Europe’s war against African illegal immigrants

 By
Chapp-Jumbo

Assistant Comptroller of Immigration, 

Yelwa. Bauchi.
