You're very correct my fellow N....recently I had a chat with an elder who happen to be a Yoruba by tribe about Oduduwa whom he claimed migrate from Saudi which I totally disagree and I now ask him the name of Oduduwa when he migrate from Saudi to Nigeria? That was when end his doctored version of history.

In the United States, a college or university is typically supervised by a President [/b]or Chancellor who reports regularly to a Board of Trustees (made up of individuals from outside the institution) and [b]who serves as Chief Executive Officer. Most large colleges and universities now use an administrative structure with a tier of vice presidents, among whom the Provost (or Vice President for Academic Affairs, or Academic Dean) serves as the chief academic officer.

Professor Adesida was the vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost at the University of Illinois, Urbana campus (2012 - 2015), which is the equivalent of a Deputy Vice-Chancellor (DVC) - Academic in the Nigerian university system. He was never the head of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Modified; even your Aba public Ivy does not have the school listed.
You edited your thread to add the word public if not you would have passed it as an Ivy League School. But can you edit the truth?
And for all those quoting me, you can suck my dìck while I'm taking a piss.


Yes you can not edit the truth, so why did you exclude the worthy runners-up?

There is a lot of false reporting in Nigerian newspapers and websites.

It is more appropriate to say that Professor Adesida is the first American of Nigerian/Yoruba descent to become a Provost (who reports to the President) at a leading/flagship public university in America. Professor Adesida was in charge of one campus - Urbana. The President, Timothy L. Killeen, administers the three campuses of the University of Illinois system (Urbana-Champaign campus, Chicago campus and Springfield campus).
