Ilechukwu, Eme Etim Akpan, Sota Omoigui, and P.O. Aderibigbe.<\/p>\n<p>Ogunnaike attended the University of Lagos for his bachelor\u2019s degree, graduating with First Class Honours in chemical engineering in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>He furthered his studies and earned an M.Sc. degree in statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a PhD in chemical engineering also from the same university in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>Ogunnaike was a research engineer with the process control group of the Shell Development Corporation in Houston, Texas from 1981 to 1982.<\/p>\n<p>He worked as a researcher for DuPont and was also a consultant to several companies including Gore, PPG Industries, and Corning Inc.<\/p>\n<p>He joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 2002 and was appointed to the William L.

And I recall reading some of the submissions because they were then routinely published.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that most of the second verse of the national anthem (if not the entire thing itself) was the second verse of the poem that I submitted. My first verse had a line similar to \u201cThe labours of our heroes past\u201d which ended up in the anthem; I am also sure that many of the other submissions had lines similar to this one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that my line emphasised \u201csacrifice\u201d instead of labour and I don\u2019t think I used heroes. I do not have the original submission with me, alas; and that was some 36 years ago now, so it is difficult for me to recall precisely what was in the first verse.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the five authors of Nigeria\u2019s National Anthem, Professor Babatunde Ogunnaike is dead.
