A Nigerian university don has narrated how human faeces is helping Americans protect astronauts in space.

The don made the revelation as part of his admonition on Nigeria to maximise the things it has to advantage.

He is Professor Samuel Oluwalana, a lecturer at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and he has declared that Nigeria was losing a huge amount of money for its failure to export human faeces, cockroaches, as well as, scorpions to foreign countries.

On human faeces, Professor Oluwalana informed that the American government was getting $3.5 billion every year because it was it to protect astronauts in space.

A Professor of Forest Resources Management who spoke on the theme, “Unearthing the Treasures in The Forest” at the 47th Annual General Meeting of the Abeokuta Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Abeokuta, he said Nigeria could still toe the line.

According to him, the country could still get billions of naira from the exportation of a large number of abundantly available cockroaches to China, where they are consumed.

“Cockroaches are the number one food now, we don’t eat cockroaches in Nigeria, they eat in other places; we can produce and send to them, and they will buy. There is a man in China that has up to six billion cockroaches, overnight, he became a multi-billionaire.

“Human faeces can be processed into charcoal for cooking. Now, Americans will be making $3.5 billion every year from gold extracted from human faeces. They are also taking human faeces to space to protect the astronaut.

“In Kenya, human faeces are used to make bridges and build houses. There are new toilets that are constructed, it helps to convert human faeces to cooking fuel. Hydrogen can be made from human faeces. You can now transplant human faeces from one person to another. We need to be creative”, he was quoted by Punch as saying.

According to him, Nigeria is enormously and naturally endowed to be contending with debilitating diseases like cancer, infertility, fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts, bile and hypertension amongst others

Aside explaining How Human Faeces is Helping America Protect Astronauts In Space , he advocated sufficient attention being  to Indigenous Knowledge to enable the country maximize its natural endowments.

“One butterfly is bought for $500 in Singapore. We can imbibe the South African culture by producing bees. Cricket also generates money. Nigerian scorpion, one is $50,000

“A gallon of 4.75 litres of the venom is $99 million. The Chinese are taking it away, no one is questioning them. Instead of destroying scorpions, you can sell them”, he said
