egbaguy: His father is IBO..............he was raised by his yoruba mother after his IBO father died during the BIAFRA war. Modification: i am wondering why people liked this!!!!!!

As at now, Shares and 22 Likes already?! This is the undeniable crescendo of igbos' infiriority complex. Truth is, no matter the frantic effort to cover it up, igbos feel inferior to the Great Yorubas. Knowing fully well that this your above post is a lie, your foolish igbo pple r still liking?! Unbelievable!!!! Now I know why igbos are sooo envious of the Yorubas. igbos wish to be as half as intelligent as the Great Yorubas. Well, sorry! It is what it is, continue wishing, our unmatchable thirst and quest for knowledge and wisdom shall continue to put us far ahead of u igbos because "ti esin ba fi ogun odun sare, iwaju, iwaju lo ma ma bale". We are living your dreams right before your eyes, if u r not satisfied exterminate and annihilate yourselves.

anonimi: 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

The most reasonable comment I have seen on this thread. Thank you.
I always thought we had a problem or so,but now you've made me think differently.

...na only comment on 1st page I read belle full. Bia Yoruba and Igbo people wetin una dey ALWAYS DRAG?? 2 characters are VERY CONSTANT on NL...political and tribal trouble makers

Nigerian developing the west since slave trade era

doctorgold: Nigerians making waves. Congrats Prof. However, we need people like you back home to help this ailing country of ours.

So you want him to come back and go back to Bauchi where Nigerian fcktards would set him on bonfire for be a Xtain/Southerner?

No!

His life and his family's life are better off in Illinois, not the cesspit called Nigeria.

You think he is crazy enough to take his kids back to a place they can be kidnapped by terrorists and the President would not give a shyt and the wife would come on TV to say he is a liar and Diarisgodooo?

ALAYORMII: A Professor of Nigerian descent, Ilesanmi Adesida made history last month by becoming the first black Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the well-respected University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in the United States.






Born in Ondo State, Prof Adesida is a Nigerian engineer whose outstanding work in the field of Nanotechnology has received much acclaim in the scientific community.

He obtained his Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley and subsequently went on to develop a body of work in the processing of semiconductors and other materials at the nanometer-scale level.

After his studies, he worked in various capacities at what is now known as the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility and the School of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. He was also the head of the Electrical Engineering Department at Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Nigeria.

Commenting on his recently appointed role, Prof Adesida said: “I’m honoured and humbled to be selected as provost of this great campus. This is something I take very seriously. I know how to work very hard and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get the job done.”


Prof Adesida is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Vacuum Society, and the Optical Society of America. He is also the past-president of IEEE Electron Devices Society.

Good news but this happened in 2012 so Y posting it now. U don't even hav a link

Congrats but old news.

Nice one. His counterparts in Nigeria are busy harassing female students s3xually and demanding handout and blocking fees.

Congrat Prof. My question is will a young guy as dis prof become a VC in nigeria university?

doctorgold: Nigerians making waves. Congrats Prof. However, we need people like you back home to help this ailing country of ours.

Bro,back home ke?
A home where corruption and political misconduct looms!?
No way,let him remain there till our leaders get it right.

The yorubas has always been contributing to the development of any place they found themselves, not contesting for another man's land finding "NO MANs LAND", not known as drug traffickers like our kinsmen from the other part of the country.
LONG LIVE SOUTHWEST

Kudos Sir!

morbid: This forum should not be promoting this kind of topics. The traffic at the American Embassy with the daily show of shame where our citizens shed profuse tears becaus they were denied visas re already a cause for concern. Unless you guys are comfortable with brain drain this nation experiences on daily basis.

Do you have any brains at all or you need your upstairs examined ? Or do you suffer from pathological jealousy or hatred ? What has his achievement got to do with protocol at the embassy ? Considering the crime rate of Nigerians abroad, should the embassy be blaimed ? Oh my, i just discovered your handle is "morbid". Gush, you dont belong here.

Prof,thank God for the reward of hard work. Keep it up! Kate obiazi

mainman7:

Lol.... My brother, don't mind those materialism blinded igbos with fart filled craniums. At one eatry 3 weeks ago, 5 igbo pple had an hot argument with me, they were authoritatively claiming that Funke Akindele that acted Jenifer Movie is igbo! Lol... I laugh, laugh so tey water begin comot for my eyes... igbos, since u pple can't even trace ur ancenstory, just acknowledge the fact that we the Yorubas are your fore-fathers and we'll both be cool till the world ends. When next u see a Yoruba, duff your hat and bow for him/her!

Nice one brov
