PhysicsQED,

I am biased towards those in the Science field. You might provide a balance in the humanities.

But I personally respect a Science/Medical/Engineering Professor More than anyone

RESEARCH

He has 7 patents and has contributed to over 100 journal papers and technical papers

Most of these guys are in the field of Science and Engineering not African culture and Dance

These are all professors/historians, listed in order of the quality of their work. They were all at one time in diaspora or were in the diaspora.

Give a little of their profile for us to read

PhysicsQED:
Sure. But I don't think we have enough, in proportion to our size (or even just the size of the South), compared to other countries, so I don't know if we really ought to be celebrating.

Most of those we discussed were Yorubas cos we were having an OAU Ife related discussion.

If you know anyone you can contribute. I am sure a lot of Igbo, South South, hausa and other groups too are doing great somewhere.

I would bolden some part of their profile that got to me

[size=18pt]Kunle Olukotun[/size]

Kunle Olukotun is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University and he has been on the faculty since 1991. Olukotun is well known for leading the Stanford Hydra research project which developed one of the first chip multiprocessors with support for thread-level speculation (TLS). Olukotun founded Afara Websystems to develop high-throughput, low power server systems with chip multiprocessor technology. Afara was acquired by Sun Microsystems; the Afara microprocessor technology, called Niagara, is at the center of Sun's throughput computing initiative. Niagara based systems have become one of Sun's fastest ramping products ever. Olukotun is actively involved in research in computer architecture, parallel programming environments and scalable parallel systems. Olukotun currently co-leads the Transactional Coherence and Consistency project whose goal is to make parallel programming accessible to average programmers. Olukotun also directs the Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab (PPL) which seeks to proliferate the use of parallelism in all application areas.

I was opportuned to meet with Professor Adesuyi Ajayi over the weekend. Being an Ife Alumni and we had a long discussion which got to Nigerians doing well in the field of academics in the USA and all over the world.

He mentioned several names which I had to write down and research them later.

I am so impressed by what our countrymen are doing in the academic field in Diaspora.

I would give you a list of those we discussed and my findings about them.

If you know anyone also you can contribute and lets celebrate our countrymen who have done us proud.

You mean he can save from the $150 per month?

Assuming he doesnt spend anything and he saves everything. How long would it take him to save up to buy what he wants.

The way you talk people would know you know nothing about Nigeria. Ask people who lived in Nigeria . I had a professor in Ife who used to drive a 1975 beetle and the door wouldnt close because he was too poor and underpaid to buy another.

BTW No Licensed medical Doctor in the US makes less than $150k a yr. Any Doctor in US would own a House and drive any car of his choice.

I know one Nigerian Doc in a church I once attended who makes over $700k a yr as a Neurosurgeon

chic2pimp:
Btw, you are doing a disservice to players who receive bottled water for good sportmanship by placing em' side by side with Emirates Cup Winners. Take Ya time ooo.

Isnt it better for them to give you Sumal or Sprint Chewing gum and Pure water than to give you that useless Potty called Emirates and Carling cup?

A major trophy is one that has equivalent in other leagues.

All countries have a league,

A cup : Fa Cup, DFB Pokal, Kings cup, Coppa Italia etc.

And all teams can play in Europe e.g CL, Europa, Super Cup or Intercontinental

Anything outside of these dont count. Its like Bayern celebrating Audi Cup or AC Milan celebrating Opel Cup

That means half of the EPL fans were not born since an EPL player won Highest goal scorer at a world cup.

DId you know that Lineker immediately left after that because he was too good for EPL.

This is something Bundesliga players win for fun.

Someone here is celebrating Emirates or carling cup? Some people are shameless sha.

I would prefer to be given 2 spoons of Allenbury Glucose D (Like they do at Inter-House Sport) than to be awarded that clay trophy called Emirate or Worth-Nothing cup

Some people no get shame.

The Good books say : Woe unto the shameless for they shall continually celebrate Emirates and carling Cup

My band boys, Get ready for the new album tonite.

Lets hear wenger is a pedophile song at Old trafford

I am here to ask How market in advance

Why should a team who won the double last season be worried.

We have won our trophies let others win too. At least some clubs are there half a decade trophyless.

Tell us the last time an EPL player was highest goal scorer or best player at the World cup.

ElRazur:
Is this your way of joking?  
You speak of low IQ, yet you cannot spell trophyless correctly.
There are plenty of teams in the EPL who are yet to win a single trophy, and no one makes big fuss over this. Again, if your IQ is so supreme, this should be obvious.

Are you by any chance a GAYYner?

The requirement needed to be a GAYYner is an IQ below zero.

Any team yet to win a trophy doesnt deserve to make any noise, they should be in the same category with Assanal

I appreciate the banter every now and then, but to keep dishing out insults is unacceptable. You are better than this to be honest.

I didnt know you are a Pastor oh. Why not distribute posters for your upcoming crusade or deliver GAYYners from the half a decade of trophylessness

Can you move this abandoned property to the property section and auction it.

Isnt it surprising that a trophyless club has loads of fans? Well, the population of retards in the world is large enough for a club like Arsenal to pool their fanbase from.

Carling cup? Which cup is that? Is that the cup previously known as Worth-Nothing cup?

Some people are just shameless.

Your mates are buying LR4, Porsche etc you are hoping to buy 1974 Volkswagen Beetle, Are you admitting mediocrity that winning major trophies is beyond you? That you have resorted to celebrating and hoping to win Emirate and Carling cup?

Are you saying winning the league, CL, Intercontinental cup, UEFA Super cup and those important trophies are beyond this useless club?

We dont know, Maybe.

Imagine despite all the noise the EPL makes, Tevez was still the only one who could score 2 World cup goals while a 20yr old Muller was banging in 5 at the Mundial.

He would definitely like to go play in a league with quality not id10ts like Mor0n Chamakh, wankott and WenGAY

HNIC:
Big Fat Sam Sacked!!!

Lean, Failed, trophyless, hopeless, senseless, wrinkled, diseased wenGAY next!!

Another gathering of mor0ns open a thread to continue their lamentation, whining, hopelessness and inferiority.

With the low IQ of fans its not a surprise that the club remains trophyles in the midst of plenty

He is tired of the sh1thole called EPL

TO many more seasons of trophylessness, Gnashing of teeth, Hopelessness, at the Emirates

Dont you think OBJ is also under a curse? How can a president for 13yrs be so much hated by everyone that he cant even win an election in his own ward.

Some weeks back, One man wanted to beat him up at the airport, Isnt that a curse?

You all see that GAYYners are mor0ns? If someone hears them shouting you would never believe that they are 5 seasons trophyless and 9 games losing streak vs Chelsea and man Utd.

When a club has no shame thats what you get from the fans. A bunch of mor0ns

buzugee:
i think all your thinking is flawed. ok lets for a moment subscribe to your 'drivel', i am sure that there are over 100 million nigerians who will love to travel. so you are justifying other countries being bumrushed by 100 million nigerians ? and then lets assume that this actually happens and those countries (USA and UK) are reduced to third world status, as they will be with 100 million unruly africans. then lets assume that all the white people run away from the UK and USA and run to abandoned nigeria and then develop it as they know how and they turn nigeria into paradise while the USA and the UK turns to shyttt, then will you then encourage them all to run back to nigeria ? this game of chasing white people to wherever they are will continue until the earth explodes in armaggedon. are you starting to see the error in your thinking ? why not stay and develop what you have ? why are you guys hell bent on chasing white people everywhere they go ? what are ya ? their shadow ?

All these one na theory, When you become a Professor of medicine and you earn $150 a month, Sit down there and give us those thories you are talking about

Aigbofa:
Political differences are not settled by fisticuffs. I don't think a former governor of my esteemed state should reduce himself to the level of a motor park tout just to make a point.

OBJ has insulted all Yoruba people by empowering touts like Akala and Adedibu and deserves to be insulted by all sons and daughters of Yoruba.

I ask what respect did OBJ show to Awolowo while he was alive?

keyne:
which one be scope again?!!women!we don suffa o!

Shey na you be Joy?

Yeah.

It takes a lot of compromise for people of 2 different cultures to get married and stay married

Hannie,

I guess should be the abbreviation for Handicap

Typical Diaper2much.
