Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran



Dr. Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran assumed the role of 17th President of Kalamazoo College in July 2005. She brings to her work a record of distinction in the realm of higher education and early child development, both in this country and in Nigeria where she taught and served as an academic administrator for more than 14 years.

Her legacy at K includes innovative reinvigoration and integration of the K-Plan as well as academic improvements that include the new open curriculum, the Shared Passages Seminar series, three new academic majors, two new intercollegiate sports, the social justice leadership program, and new career and professional development opportunities like the Guilds of Kalamazoo College. The diversity of the campus community reflects the world where K students will live and work. And the difficult systemic changes have begun that will make the learning environment equitable and inclusive for each member of K's diverse learning community. Her legacy also includes new campus spaces that students and employees use to solidify the sense of community that characterizes Kalamazoo College.

A native of Los Angeles, Dr. Wilson-Oyelaran earned her B.A. in sociology from Pomona College, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in education from the Claremont Graduate University. She was no stranger to international education, having completed an undergraduate study abroad experience in England where she studied the education of immigrant children.

Trying to catch up is werk mehn!! Been engrossed with the staking & frying of the protection seekers & the millions of threads on top his head...


@shymm3x, prof, * insert any here*, can't keep up with your handles..

The reason they disrespect us in our land is same reason our land is called "No man's land", we are too laid back, we are also not the violent sort but with the recent SMS (supreme maximum shishi) in Akure, sure some medulla has done a reset...

I served in the North, nothing takes most female corpers towards their mosque on a Friday afternoon cos we know they don't approve of our "sluttish" mode of dressing , so who wants to provoke a flogging or lynching? WE RESPECT THEM COS WE KNOW THE REPERCUSSIONS are GRAVE INDEED.

The Nigerian political terrain is a funny one, when OBJ was there, he basically did nothing to further the cause of the yoruba, hopefully we will make headway now...

Don't compare a country where everyone speaks the same language to a place where, Religion, Language & cultures are in clear disparity...

Lord Lugard did us a great disservice in Yorubaland, maybe we would've sent a man to the moon by now.

Nice.

I was just posting every field out there where Yoruba folks have excelled. I'm reading ya list and hope you will post from Canada, Australia, and other parts of Europe, especially Germany. There might be some in Russia as well cos apparently a lot of Nigerians used to get academic scholarships to the Soviet Union back in the day.

I have got Bankole Johnson on my list. I will delete him now.

5. Oranmiyan Staff, Ile-Ife


[img]http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/attachments/upload_2015-6-5_11-37-16-jpeg.51536/[/img]


Located in Ile-Ife, Osun State of Nigeria, the Oranmiyan staff is a commemorative stele or ancient upright stone slab bearing markings telling its own story. The Oranmiyan staff is fabled to have been erected by the descendants of Oranmiyan Omoluabi, an ancient Yoruba king that ruled Ile-Ife and an heir to Oduduwa, the founder of the Yoruba people.

The Oranmiyan staff is said to have been put up where Oranmiyan himself died. The staff was however tested with radiocarbon analysis and revealed to have been erected for several centuries before the Oduduwa dynasty started in Ile-Ife. Oranmiyan was the first Alaafin of Oyo after he founded the town in 1170, and Eweka I – one of his sons later became the first Oba of the ancient Benin Empire.

6. Ikogosi Warm Springs



[img]http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/attachments/upload_2015-6-5_11-37-32-jpeg.51537/[/img]


The Ikogosi Warm Springs is located in Ikogosi, Ekiti State of Nigeria. It is a confluence of hot and cold springs meeting together at a point – with each maintaining its own thermal properties. Tests reveal that the temperature at the warm spring is about 70 degrees Celsius at the source, and about 37 degrees Celsius at the point where the warm and cold springs merge together.

It is a great tourist attraction situated on over 116 hectares of land in southwestern Nigeria, with recent renovations made at the warm springs by the Ekiti State government some years ago. The renovations and remodeling were done by former Gov. Kayode Fayemi, and included swimming pools, restaurants, hotels, guest house, a 1,000 capacity amphitheatre, and a conference hall that can seat over 600 people at a time.

Teachers, Pensioners Laud Fayose’s Achievements

Teachers and pensioners in Ekiti State have commended Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose for the remarkable achievements recorded in his first year in office despite the obvious political and economic challenges confronting his government. The teachers and pensioners under the aegis of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and Nigeria Union of Pensioners ( NUP), said they are proud of the governor and his determination to move the state forward.

Like someone said, we need a radio platform to sensitize not just the youths but the old folks as well.

We need social media presence. The IGs, Twitters and Facebooks to further create some level of awareness.

These mediums will hijack the brainwashed off of the ship of politicians and political parties and also raise a level of Oduduwa nationalism across SWest.

We have talked too much on this thread, are there going to be any actions?
