Nigeria is a West African nation of over 100 million energetic people. It is endowed with lots of natural resources but lacks human resources.

The labs were happy that I was brave enough to attempt to program it and the $5 million computer was left entirely to my use. I was their human guinea pig.

During the week that I arrived in the United States, I saw an airport, used a telephone, used a library, talked with a scientist, and was shown a computer for the first time in my life.

My focus is not on solving nature's deeper mysteries. It is on using nature's deeper mysteries to solve important societal problems.

Scientists try to discover or unravel the mysteries of nature. Some of the problems we are trying to solve have been solved in nature.

It is smarter to borrow from nature than to reinvent the wheels.

I preferred to study those subjects that were of interest to me.
