Very good one. Shows how much progress they have made and hope this is a seed that will attract more top talents into other disciplines in the future. I also hope before he leaves he can take a look into the position of our overall university system and perhaps profer a solution to the funding problem being a guru in economics, Perhaps telling us some home truths some of our local egg-heads are avoiding.

Gôod one from a solid visionaire. I expect nothing less.

Who is shouting... ?

Did they come up on national TV to inform you ?
Did they send you text message?
Did they post it on nairaland ?
Did they call a press conference for it?

It was probably an internal announcement passed out. You are only bothered becos of the level of hate and prejudice you have against them. Other schools annouce information and people forge on, how come this one has suddenly become something to disturb yourself with?

It is this very same attitude that is destroying the society.
Cure yourself from this psychological illness and see the world from a more optimistic view.

dey just pasted it on nairaland now...and u are commenting and causing harvoc in dis land!!!!
Re: Nobel Laureate Joins Covenant University Faculty by Nobody: 6:56pm On Jul 11, 2014

But d question is (1)won't dis develop sky-rocket d school fees?.....(2) can d school sustain dis nobel laurete white guy in terms of finance?..... (3) will just hiring a nobel laurete put the sch in top 10 in d world? But if u ask me? Na who I go ask oooo

danot1030: u are a loser
The way you are going about shouting loser over another's opinion could point to some certain preconceived notions in error about the subject matter of losing. I have been a loser- most of my first shots on business,romance etc ended in failure.
Have been able to leverage on experiences gained and now understand and appreciate success. Most times now I deliberately fail so that the success will be sweeter! Success without failure is meaningless.

There was a place in the bible when david was been chased by saul. David went out of the city and found himself with losers and city rejects. By the period david was done with them, they became honourable men who presided over kingdoms. Will teach my kids tis all good to lose. CU will do everything crook or pure to smuggle itself as the Best.

Beehshorp: Will he make dem reduce their skool fees?
wise up young man
their school fees is not even a tenth of what ABTI, BABCOCK, ETC AND OTHER PRIVATE UNIVERSITY charges. this School is making giant stride. Prof. Wole Soyinka is a politician. I would have been very disappointed if CU had even thought of inviting him. CU is always making giant stides. Kudos to them. How many other Nigerian Universities have had the priviledge of inviting foreign intelectual dignitaries like CU? All they clamour for is increase in welfare package and embarking on endless strike without any significant impart on the students. I mean Nobel Laureates and other great intellectuals like Ben Carson, etc. Let's grow up in this country of hate and prejudices and lets celebrate those that are making positive differences. Kudos to CU.

Son, I don't really blame you, the internet has made the world a different place where nimcopoop like you can hide behind a tecno phone to abuse your father's mate like me. By the time I graduated from school you must still be running around with diapers if you were even born! If you know who I am, I bet you would be begging I pay your school fees, but the impression of your likes is that everybody on Nairaland is that we are jobless or jambites like you. So CU employing a Nobel winner is a wrong thing? I don't blame you, it is the poverty mentality ravaging you and your generations which will never allow you to afford the school fees! Son, all you need to do is to ask, I can afford to send 10 of you to CU on scholarship
