I would have made ten times more scientific discoveries if I was provided the same opportunities that Albert Einstein had in this country.

interviewed by Reuben Abati for The Nigerian Guardian.


Do you feel hampered, psychologically, by being a black man and a Nigerian in America?
Absolutely. Whites oppress blacks by denying them the opportunity to contribute as much as they can to society.

I would have made ten times more scientific discoveries if I was provided the same opportunities that Albert Einstein had in this country.

Being Nigerian or foreign-born is not the obstacle. Many top scientists, including Albert Einstein, are foreign-born and educated but are fully accepted by white scientists. I have seen less qualified white scientists who are born in Europe hired over a black scientist.
