Kobojunkie:
huh? The last VC Academic Affairs was him?

afam4eva:
He was the VC of Academic Affairs but just became the general VC recently. At least that's what the article says.

afam4eva:
Yeah, i saw a thread about his appointment some months back.

fstranger:

1.) Dude you went to FUTA . . . How many successful people go/went to FUTA? Zilch. You are just another one of the many losers from the FUTA warehouse

2.) You cant even write well? Dude, what else do we need to know you are big time failure?

3.) And you seem to always try to validate yourself via other people's achievements, especially people far remote from you. That doesnt necessarily scream success or does it? You are failure. You will always be, Deal with it FUTA boy!

2mch: Nigerian's need to go and prostrate and beg him to come and oversee electricity in Nigeria. . . The guy is well achieved in the Electrical Engineering field.

Akanbi_edu:

Damn wrong. Chances of his success in that place is less than 5%.

#seriously, we need to update our definition of being Nigerian.

2mch:

He is the best man for the job that we have at the moment. Am sure if they give it to him he will do well. Someone in his position will not let PHCN fools escape that easily. . His whole academic experience has been abroad and it has been through hardwork, not connection or shady experience and degrees.

afam4eva:
He's the best man for the job. You know that how? You guys just keep making astronomical statements that you can't back up with facts. Take it easy bro.

Though i think he'll do very well if brought in.

2mch:

Look, if you cannot think and you dont have anything to contribute or say, JA!


He is the best man for the job. He has both Academic and research experience. He will be able to revamp and upgrade our electricity problems.

afam4eva:
You could have just stuck with the blued letter rather than the red because you can't prove anything. Stop sounding like an illiterate and speak with wisdom.

2mch:

Look, go and farm. You had nothing to say and still you have nothing to say. You are best to remain a Foo*l. It is not my fault that the nerves in your brain are disconnected that you need me to spell out the obvious for you. You have mental problems. . Keep hanging on my posts. You go quench last.

afam4eva:
Soothe yourself...i was only trying to educate and tame you but it seems people like you don't learn.

slimming: He must have live there for a long time to attain such a position in a foreign land. Great for him.

emenim: This is the greatest news of the century, and Nigerians should be proud of him

Rossikk: @poster, did you go to school at all? What sort of illiterate headline did you post? It should be ''NIGERIAN PROFESSOR BECOMES FIRST BLACK .......'', NOT ''NIGERIA'S PROFESSOR BECOMES.....''.

I'm getting sick of folks posting illiterate, careless headlines on this NL. Go back to school if you have English problems please!!!
