I couldn't confirm it from their website. Currently, that position is occupied by someone else. http://illinois.edu/about/admin/admin.html |

The guy should check his youtube page. It has some anti-semitic and questionable stuff in it. The stuff is not by him but he should watch who and what he subscribes to. It's going to be a real akoba adaba if he's not careful. If anyone know him or his email should contact him about removing it. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLELmEGg4wWyR_22DA2Yagg |

Desola: What's all this jubilation for now? The man is a professor of Engineering yet Naija can't boast of a bridge or anything engineering in nature to advance the country or the world at large and we are rejoicing at another of our brains being drained by the west. As I was reading ur post ,I was happy u have repented until the bolded. But of course yorubas get brain just like any other human being abi are they Apes |

Congratz Prof. Proud of U and Your Achievements. This Man have been completely transformed (Education and Experience). His Name is still Nigerian, but I can bet he does not think like a typical Nigerian. Getting tired of these tribal Monkeys in NL. It would be better if You keep your Mediocrity to yourselves. We should all learn and at least be happy that there's at least some good news about Nigerians living abroad and not some guys in deathrow in malaysia,china or singapore or 419ers or prostitution rings in Europe. May God help Us. |

Easy, people, easy. Prof. Adesida has attained a wonderful position, by Nigerian standards, congratulations. Why is this news on the web, is what puzzles me? Firstly, as many good people have pointed out, the dear professor has spent ALL his formative years abroad, in their system, so he really actually climbed the ladder to the position he occupies today. Please let us remember that in civilized countries, these positions are not like the way they are in Nigeria where the civil service is full of infighting and killing, and where people do not actually have room to realize their potential, in the absence of a godfather, "connections", or an Okija shrine subscription. Elections to the position of VC in Niaja are do or die affairs. I'm willing to bet that it was not so in the University that has just promoted this gentleman. Secondly, the position in question. In Nigeria, you become a VC, then you shut down the nearest cathedral/mosque/Pentecostal worship center in your town for a huge "thanksgiving" service to show off your newly-acquired wealth and train of official cars. Abroad, nobody even knows the name of the university president or vice chancellor, or whatever the head of the institution is called. Except for in the high profile schools, their salaries, like that of the U.S president also, can be earned by a suitably experienced doctor or whizz kid IT guy. So even though Prof. Adesida has acheived something wonderful by the standards of our bent, hopeless society, in the society he is living in he has done no more than to acheive his due. |

Cyberknight: Easy, people, easy. Prof. Adesida has attained a wonderful position, by Nigerian standards, congratulations. OMG!! what a backward mentality you have. WTH!! we should not congratulate Ilesamni Adedisa because he can't shut down a cathedral to show off corrupt wealth and swiss accounts? Ilesanmi Adedisa got to where he is because of his exceptional professional achievement. It is not easy for a black person to attain such posts talkless of an African immigrant. Let us give praise to whom praise is due, abeg. he has attained a position where he is able to influence the direction of a major public university in the US. with great power comes great responsibility. and this is not Nigeria, bro. even the richest people in the US don't go about flaunting it like they do in naija. unless they're insecure. |
