ReplyDeleteVery incompetent, senseless and unfocused man! Your priority is not working hard to ensure millions of Nigerian youths that have been forced to remain at home as a result of ASUP strike get back to class, but seeking the re-election of the president. This is what happens when you've got a square peg in a round hole. The President needs to be blamed b'cos it's obvious he appointed this block-head a minister for his selfish desires and not b'cos he's qualified for the job.
ReplyDeleteEven if he did not say that those median wl frame there own.....u better mind what u wl coment bcs thats how u wl be criticised when u find ur self in a top position most of u if they vote u into power in ur higher institutions what u usually practice bad more than this people
ReplyDeleteIt's people like you that are dragging this nation backward with the way you think. Let's call a spade a spade no matter who or what is involved. This is no time for sentiment please. Is this thug of a minister supposed to be a campaign manager or a minister of education? It's obvious he doesn't even know his jurisdiction and that is why education keep deteriorating in this country...when you appoint the wrong people for the job!
Deletethe truth be told,incompetence always breeds others incompetent people,but God has started to make our president wise,soon he'll flush most of this people out
ReplyDeleteSo this this uncivilised brute is still around? This commander of trained snipers will surely reap bountifully from what he sow.
