Threads like this makes me sick to my stomach.
How in God's name will this benefit Nigeria.?
Nigeria is the only country in the world where people revel in institutional and fundamental brain drain.
A nation of stark moronns.

omenka: When we eventually have the right leadership in Abuja, all these great citizens of the country will come back home and together we will build a country that would be the envy of the world.

So help us God.
Ok I have heard you. Keep waiting till we have good government. If people like him don't come back to build the nation or to use his knowledge to empower youths,who will be the right Leadership in Abuja you are talking about?Obj,Gej,Tinubu,Babangida,Atiku or the old Man Buhari?

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.
FROM MY STUDY NIGERIANS DO SO WELL INDIVIDUALLY BUT NOT AS A TEAM. THATS Y NIGERIA IS STILL CLASSIFIED AS A DEVELOPING NATION EVEN AS SHE CELEBRATES 54.

Lmao @ the hate emails. grin Naija internet thugs won't kill me, a lot of them sound like white kids from the surbs who listen to too much gangsta rap. I just laugh when folks threaten me on here, after finding out that Nigeria is actually one of the safest ghettos in the world, apart from the feds with AK47. grin

Anyway, I feel for you - be scared. embarassed

OROSUNBOLB: 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.
