| Personal background |

I am a 38 years old male born and living in Nigeria. I have a university degree in Civil Engineering and MSc in Information Technology. Though I have 11 years banking career, I consider myself a self-made Scientist and entrepreneur.
I am a stern believer of the existence of Extra-terrestrial beings and I desire to be a member of the team that will eventually initiate communications with them.
Did you say HOBBIES?
When I’m not in the bank working, and I’m not in my block industry nor fashion house, I am in my study surfing the net or watching movies. I have profound addiction for Sci-Fi, Intelligence, Thriller and superheroes (which also include vampires) movies. Yeah, it’s obvious, so much useful time wasted…..
Unlike many in the science world and on CNN, I am President Trump’s biggest fan in this part of the globe. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Why do you run SETI@home?
Why not?
Isn’t it obvious that the size of our planet is negligible when compared with the size of our solar system which is almost invisible compared to the size of the milky-way galaxy which in-turn is inconsequential by size when compared to the size of the universe? It should be practically unacceptable for any rational thinking person to think ‘we are alone’. Search for ETI is my newest found love and running SETI@home is the least I can do. Nevertheless, I think we are a bit myopic about channels of communication.
Before you scroll off my careless talks, these are my suggestions: do you remember the scientist that suggested that we make kilometers of trench of wild fire on earth surface such that it will be bold and luminous enough for aliens to see and maybe consider it an SOS such that they’ll rush to our planet to help us or EAT us? Well, a modern look at that concept might be helpful. First lets re-evaluate the following facts
There are other intelligent beings here on earth (e.g. dolphins) with a system of vocabulary yet neither man nor the creatures understand the other, at best we say they make remarkable sound. If man and dolphins’ communication skills evolved so far apart, shouldn’t it be natural to expect ETI to evolve with a system of communication technologically different from our definition of ‘means of communication’? With this in mind let’s look at things we might have in common with our galactic neighbors
The only reason we know they are there is because we can see at great distance uncountable number of objects in the universe, object that looks and behaves like our solar system- a system of ‘ball of fire (the sun) with several solid objects revolving round it. This means that at least we all understand light and fire. Another thing we clearly should have in common with ETI is ‘gravity’. These are the tools we must use for effective communication
Suppose the signal we send is rather made of light wave (visible to the eye) and not just radio wave that requires transistors and diodes made of silicon to decipher, suppose their planet is not generous with elements like silicon and germanium for easy construction of transistors, suppose ETs don't have fingers to construct radio receivers yet capable of using mother nature's abundant resources to Kris-cross the universe, Suppose we can digitally transmit light that can travel billions of light years without losing its substance yet capable of depicting its intentions to any civilization beyond our planet. Suppose the satellites used for SETI also detects beam of lights sent to us through unnatural medium (light from stars and other celestial occurrence’s excluded). We will stand a better chance of saying HELLO to our galactic neighbors. |
