Hmmm, I just had to dig up this thread to post this. I know DK (and this thread) has a bias for those in Science, Medicine & the Engineering fields but I think this woman; Yetunde Antonia Schleicher is simply amazing. Remember the 5 Yoruba speaking ''Oyinbo'' Americans presently living in Ibadan & studying Yoruba at U.I? Well, she's the coordinator of the language exchange programme that brought them to Nigeria. One of them; the author of this biography (Caraline ''Titilayo'' Harshman) has her videos all over youtube so you may want to check her out. . . . . It's more of a biography than an academic profile but it'll do. . . . . .Ileke-Idi and all the ''yorubacentric'' Nairalanders go trip

I respect these professionals in the academia for their discipline and dedication to their career. I have met a couple of these individuals personally. Guys it is not easy. Considering all the societal pressure from family and friends in Nigeria. Most Nigerian come to America to make money. |

No big deal jare. We are 160 million people after all. Should we not have like half a million academics in diaspora, and maybe another 2 million at home? These things are neither here nor there jare. It's just like celebrating how many footballers we have in the diaspora, and we can't even qualify for the AFCON tarano: Haba, are they not being paid money? |

I remember this thread. I left it and stopped bothering about updating it when other posters started making it ethnic. Otherwise I would have updated it as I've come across a whole slew of Nigerian academics since the time that this thread was active. |
Re: Nigerian Academia In Diaspora by pazienza(m): 11:40pm On Sep 17, 2012 |
Yea,i remember this thread too. Nchara/igbobuigbo used it to debunk the claim that yorubas are the most educated tribe in nigeria,this thread was a bomb.At the end of it,it was obvious which tribe was the clear leader. |

pazienza: Yea,i remember this thread too. Nchara/igbobuigbo used it to debunk the claim that yorubas are the most educated tribe in nigeria,this thread was a bomb.At the end of it,it was obvious which tribe was the clear leader. Well there are even more Igbo academics than what he posted. But there are also many more academics abroad from other groups (including from the group Nchara/igbobuigbo was posting against) than what others posted. So there's not some kind of clear cut conclusion to be drawn from the thread since people just left it alone and didn't stretch it out to as many pages as possible. I doubt that anyone can prove the frequently made "most educated in Nigeria" claim anyway. |
Re: Nigerian Academia In Diaspora by pazienza(m): 1:45am On Sep 18, 2012 |
PhysicsQED: We can only work with what we have,if you know anymore yoruba/bini academia in diaspora,post them here,let the head count continue,stop making up excuses. |
Re: Nigerian Academia In Diaspora by PhysicsQED(m): 1:57am On Sep 18, 2012 |
pazienza: lol, excuses? I'm pretty sure other academics that were not mentioned here have even been posted on other threads so a sensible person would know that many other academics have not been listed. Also if you followed all my posts on here I wasn't exclusively listing any ethnic group, I just listed more people from my part of Nigeria since they wouldn't have been listed anyway the way the thread was going. A while back when I came across the profiles of Bruce Ovbiagele, Kunle Odunsi, and Chimay Anumba, all highly accomplished academics from Nigeria, I thought about upping this thread again to post them, but I read over the thread again and realized the thread was becoming a platform for ethnic/tribal stuff more than for what it was originally intended so I didn't bother. |

PhysicsQED Please where are you now. I have an idea that I have been working on since summer last year. I am with a group of other PhD students here in Canada. Where are planning of doing a documentary of some of the notable Nigerians Scholars around the world. We want to document their research and interview as many as we can. Please why not contact me at charlesnwaizu@gmail.com. Please it is Urgent. God bless. |

Professor John Durodola He has been involved in a number of multi-disciplinary research projects for power plant, automotive and aerospace industries. Professor Durodola did his PhD at Imperial College, London, where his work led to new Hermitian and Overhauser boundary elements. Whilst at Oxford University, he developed a generalisation of McLean’s creep model to include the effect of inherent residual stresses and possibilities for instantaneous matrix plastic flow upon loading. Since joining Oxford Brookes University in 1994, one of his achievements is the development of a method for simultaneous determination of tensile and compressive material behaviours from bend tests only. John is also Head of the Stress and Materials, Analysis, Research and Testing (SMART) Group at Oxford Brookes University. http://www.brookes.ac.uk/profiles/staff/professor-john-durodola/ |
