bayooooooo: It does not matter. The list can equally be dominated by another tribe next year.

Trust me, We Yorubas have cornered this market. We will always dominate the list, EVERY YEAR.

bayooooooo: Considering the number of practicing lawyers we have in the country, for his name to be shortlisted at all I have no doubt in mind he is brilliant.

That does not make him the most brilliant Lawyer. There is no such thing as the most brilliant lawyer.

You got to love home based Nigerians. EVerything is in black and white. The most Brilliant, the most smartest, the most arupo . . . whatever

bayooooooo: No, it's not marginal. 9/25 is 36% (approaching 40%)

In a country with 250 tribes. 40% from just one tribe? Thats what I call . . . We beat dem danu danu.

Sheleshe . We break dem head. Long live Yoruba intelligentsia

I like my people.

kunlekunle: she dey take adv of the present situation.

SHe is a fast learner.

She has learnt pretty fast how things are done in Nigeria. Next, she will start blaming some fictional cabals for all the money missing. And trust Nigerians, they will eat the shyt up real fast . . . after all, MIT and Harvard grads dont steal money.

odocity: But where are the remaining two robbers?I think they said they where 4 robbers total?

Odeshi

Flower planter . . . Nigerian English, nothing like it

Odunnu is definitely part of the 40 man squad . . . perhaps the only female on the squad.

A NIGERIAN don at Harvard University, Prof. Jacob Olupona, has been named a Walter Channing Cabot Fellow for the current academic year by the authorities of the institution.

Olupona, of the Department of African and African-American Studies of the university, was among the eight persons selected for the prize fellowship, which was established in 1905.

The university, through a letter dated June 12, 2012, from the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and signed by one Michael Smith, explained that Olupona’s outstanding contributions and his new book: City of 201 Gods: Ile-Ife in Time, Space, and the Imagination, earned him the award.

The letter read: “I am delighted to let you know that you have been chosen as a Walter Channing Cabot Fellow for the current academic year. As you may know, these prize fellowships are given annually to a select few faculty colleagues in recognition of their achievements and scholarly eminence in the fields of ‘literature, history or art, as such terms may be liberally interpreted…’ The divisional deans and I have decided to honour you with the award to reflect your outstanding contributions to your field, including the 2011 publication of City of 201 Gods: Ile-Ife in Time, Space, and the Imagination. Your award enhances the distinction that has always been associated with Cabot Fellowships.

“The fellowship carries with it an honorarium of $10,000 (subject to required tax withholdings), which will be included in your regular direct deposit for the month of June. A public announcement will appear on-line in the Harvard Gazette in June.”

The Cabot Fund was established in Cabot’s memory by his wife and children in 1905 to honour faculty members, who have distinguished themselves in literature, history or art.

Gender equalization is not our most pressing need at this point. We need credible and competent people and to get to that WE ALL HAVE TO RAISE OUR A GAME AND RAISE OUR STANDARDS.

Beaf: Yes, its another great step in the right direction for gender equalisation. Maybe a female President of the country next? Who knows?

I doubt its really true. Too many conspiracy theories out there. But then you think about issues like Tuskeegee and you think . . . who knows?

I thought the declared one forty years ago . . . Are they trying to repeat history?


These people sha . . . they just like to get beat by Yoruba intelligentsia and Hausa godogodo.
