I just want to share the fact that Nigerians are making great strides in all facets of human endeavour.

Take the case of this young man Jide Nzelibe who has recently been appointed as a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, the pre-eminent law school in the US.

He has a very impressive CV, until his recent appointment at Harvard , he has been a Professor of Law at Northwestern 
University in Chicago, an assistant Professor at the University of Chicago.

He graduated from Yale Law School and Princeton University. He is the kind of person we need as Nigeria's attorney general or even as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

I believe he is also involved with the Centre for Law Enforcement Education in Nigeria.

Having an impressive CV does not make one a man of character. The Ojos, Aondakkaa, Fani-kayodes, Chimarokes are living examples.

I congratulate Prof. Nzelibe on his achievements so far. I weep for Nigeria as another brain is drained.

Wonderful,

One very good thing about this post is that, the "tribalists" are confused and cautious, otherwise, some people would have started to show that the guy is, what he is, because of his lineage.

The name of this guys, has set them up.

I completely agree.

I was waiting for udezue.

@poster


what is the big deal - so many nigerians allover the world doing exploits.

They will still comment if they want to.Personally i do not think there is anything 'confusing' about the person's name.

MrCrackles:

If you dont geddit by now, you will never geddit!

Actually you might be the one that has to get it  .I actually have my suspicion of what he meant by that.

i really do not want to get down this tribalist path but people should not really be confused at the first name.

Every lecturer in the U.S is a professor. ( Not to detract from his achievement though!)

If you stopped at just 'wonderful ' if you had nothing else to add it would have been better than this your veiled attempt at whiping up tribal sentiments. Why do you have to remember a tribal angle if you are not tribal?

Please, the topic says a 'Nigerian' forget the name. We all lay claim to him, he was born in the US if you don't know. He may probably have spent over 95% of his life in the US.

If that is the case then he is not nigerian.

i have to say, check the other professors profiles, a couple of other naija ppl are there, infact the only black professors there are nigerian, lol

yep, as I expected- he didn't do his undergrad at princeton-he went to st john

Interesting his sister or wife is also a professor there- dont forget our women folk- http://www.law.northwestern.edu/faculty/profiles/UzoamakaNzelibe/

And of course I am not a tribalist, but proudly yourba representing and she beats them all:

@ asha 80.

Going by the logic of your response.

If Prof Jide Nzelibe is not a Nigerian because he was born in the US, then all children born in the US and elsewhere abroad to Nigerians in diaspora will be classified by you as non- Nigerians.

Please give us a break and be sensible.

She meant He is not a Nigerian in the sense that he probably was never affected much by the Nigerian factor.

I really don't knw if you are still on NL bt I totally love you for ds post

Where is Aondoakaa? Is the guy still in this country?

moreover, he knows nothing about Nigerian law.
a motor park tout can navigate our courts better than he.


A Nigerian woman has been law professor at harvard for about ten years now: Dehlia Akadiuno-Ummunna.

Don't mind them. He is only Nigerian in name but American in everything else. Besides, he is not a law professor at Harvard. He came as a visiting professor for just one semester.

Jide= Jideofor. Not to be confused with the Yoruba version,btw.

Moreover, big certs count for nothing when it comes to good governance, NOI with all her big cert, i am yet see whatever significant positive change her appointment has brought.

Jideofor Nzelibe is from Ihiala in Anambra state. He was born in the US to a Nigerian father and a British mother. The father was a Doctor of Animal science. He had his primary education in his village {Udengwu Primary School} before returning to US till date.

He visits home regularly and speaks his native dialect flawlessly.

Do you know what it takes to be a professor of law at Harvard?

These are the people who tutor, to be senators and presidents.

Just like Buhari
