As a People and as a Country,our potential is never in doubt.What is killing these potentials is corruption. Prof Adesida woudnt have succeeded in Nigeria.The usual (Nigerian) factors would have frustrated him and destroyed whatever talent that's in him. We are all proud of you and your achievements sir.

Simply shows that there is nothing wrong with us INDIVIDUALLY compared with our longer nosed fellow homo sapiens.

We should be worried however (and find out) why our COLLECTIVE is so much worse than theirs embarassed

if the guy was igbo the igbos would have over-hyped this thread... now that his yoruba they are still claiming...... the forum they are using is created by a yoruba person OOOooo... the tribalists on NL are something else.... if Nigeria was an advanced nation this wouldn't be news.

Mclick: Nigerians are higher flyers, giving right environment, and level playing ground, even the dumb will should capacity and results too. How I pray Nigeria becomes a place where, things are done rightly and corruption eliminated, then you we know how blessed we are. For real, the world is afraid of us as we have; the natural resources, human capacities, vigour and strength to over run any power there may be in the world. Hmmmn

This is stale news. He has been in this position since August 15, 2012. He's a smart guy and an accomplished administrator. He's the VC of academic affairs and Provost.
http://provost.illinois.edu/about/staff/adesida/index.html

BTW, in the US system, president is equivalent to Naija VC...,VC is not the head of this University, the chancellor is the head of a campus reporting directly to a University president because this university has a lot campuses; each campus is headed by a Chancellor,The chancellor of this great university UIUC is Phyliss M Wise

MenGoingThereWay: Come back to Nigeria where they will owe him salary and won't value his intellectual resources

grin you are looking at the bad things what about the good things
-variety of yansh just for mark
-cash stash from extorting the f*ck outta students in the name of selling "handout"
-3 month holidays every year (strike)
- no stress of thinking of changing lecturing techniques just carry your 1960 something student note to class and use it to teach
-license to fail any student you like when you feel like and not get tackled for it






grin always look on the bright side of life

I know some lecturers back in ATBU that were delayed for about six years before they were given their professorship after they were initially qualified. So in in 9geria success is somewhat delayed
