The Mission made this known on its Facebook page late Monday.
The post read, "Congratulations to Nigerian-American Professor of History and African and African Diaspora Studies at Florida International University, Saheed Aderinto, on becoming the first Nigerian to receive the $300,000 Dan David Prize—the largest financial reward for excellence in the historical discipline in the world.
"Professor Aderinto is the Founding President of the Lagos Studies Association."

ReplyDeleteAnd he accepted congratulatory message of some and rejected some telling him to return the mandate he stole through INEC.
ReplyDelete😄 I saw it.
DeleteYou people can believe anything! Who do you laidis? So, you think a Prof. in the US will construct that horrible grammar? Even after the Prof. has come out to say he doesn't have a twitter account! Some of you are irredeemable and it's a shame
DeleteWhere merit works. Non asked for his tribe or religion. It will not be well with our wicked politicians.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sir
Zaram,
DeletePlease permit me to help.
You must learn to stop shifting responsibility.
Politicians, are people. And in every clime, industry, organisation, ministry etc etc, there are those that will leverage on whatever they can lay their hands on
You, I, and others need to own the decisions we take.
But you ask for tribe in all you do and call other people's ancestral land as belonging to no one. The first to say no tribe are the same ones to ask for tribe and even states that military despots created. Have the aboriginal people of the land where you live, the Gbagi, not welcomed you and given you the tranquility to do better than in your home state?
DeleteYou may not know as your exposure is limited but the land of the United States belongs to the American Indian tribes but was stolen by British via war and subjugation. If you do any reading outside of the blogosphere, consider adding the history of the Thanksgiving holiday to your knowledge. The descendants of these tribes have land areas preserved by government to try to broker peace but the wounds remain. They have their own courts and legal systems and operate as mini countries within the US, Australia, Canada and other areas were land was taken by force by Caucasians.
Show the people of other tribes that YOU have given free berth in your land before demanding what is not yours and showing entitled bigotry against others. Show an example where someone outside of your tribe has won any prestigious academic prizes in the last few decades.
Now,that's what I'm talking about 👏👏👏
