Not only that bro

His description of the list is as dishonest as himself. This is not a list of the best universities in the UK but a list of universities with the highest number of professionals within a given time period IN the U.k. Not only is this not a list of the best universities it's date of reference is recent and does not include the period in which Kemi was in uni or even ten years after that date.

Is he saying that St George Univ of London is better than Cambridge or the London School of Economics.

Reno Omokri like FFK (who incidentally was two years my junior at uni) are a bunch of noise makers. They appeal to base divisive instincts and not common sense. What grade did FFK get in his bachelor's degree? When you see people like Reno Omokri hunting through dustbins for garbage to throw at people then you know their pedigree and where they come from. There is plenty of things to contend with this govt finance policy but an inaccurate school list? Come on.

I am amazed that people haven't seen through their posturing. So many Nigerians are so ill educated and prejudice that they will lap up any vomit their " hero" throws up.

Grundig:

Lol. Thanks for your time bro.
You can carry on with your regular scheduled program.

Unclerukus:
you're just deluded, it doesn't have to be IMF or world bank Bush man. pWC is in a league called the big four which consists of earnst & young , Kpmg and Deloitte.

n a series of Facebook Post, Reno Omokri, the former Presidential Aide has once again attacked Nigeria Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun as one of the reasons for the present economy woes in the country.

Acording to Reno:

This table shows the best universities and the worst ones in England. University of East London, the school our pretty finance minister, Kemi Adeosun , attended is number one amongst the worst. This is a former polytechnic that only became a university in 1992. Now you know why you have a recession!

She attended a Polytechnic and worked with British Telecom, Goodman Jones, London Undeground Limited, London and Prism Consulting, Pricewater House Coopers and Chapel Hill Denham. Reno studied at Harvard, Stanford and Yale, yet he ended up as a spin-doctor for a barefaced thief who supervised the pilfering of our commonwealth. It is not by power, nor is it by might, it is of God who shows mercy...Reno, I expected you to know that, sebi dem say you be pastor?

Recession is just a symptom.... We are here because of something and no body is asking what is it.. before Buhari came in we were already in recession.. .. so the question is why.. And how long can we stay here and what can we do do get out of all

googlepikins:
is like you're mad, kemi, buhari and CBN Governor should all resign now!! It's not by speaking English she should resign now.

Koranic school students who are naturally bright nko? I'm not a bigot to condemn Koranic school students.

So you you cannot think that "to" missing is an error? Many of us actually have a job. And posting here is in between doing that.

I stand by my statement because a good friend used to be a lecturer in that school that your Kemi attended.

If anybody was coming abroad to study, chose a better university. Her getting to whatever position in Nigeria is further evidence of mediocrity in high places.

mrvitalis:

Give the reason

We're talking World Bank and IMF and you're talking priceWaterCoopoer.

The worst university in england is better Dan the best university in Africa and Nigeria

There's a reason those school's products are not considered good enough by British employers. There's equally a reason most British leaders are Oxford trained. I won't say a lot about Kemi but it appears she is not allowed free hand to operate. It was alleged the permanent secretary in the ministry was never a civil servant but brought in from one of the northern states. This could be the one trusted. Judging her may be harsh in the circumstances. Even then, which school did other appointees attend? It's all a mess. And a very long way for Nigeria. #Stillgroping

chronique:
That's not what I'm saying. I'm just telling you that there are ceertainly people with more experience than her... She has more experience in audit and financial advsory and honestly,I dnt think she is experienced enough to handle her position. I used my dad as a reference that despite his wealth of experience,there is the possibilty and certainty that if we are to ask people with strng cvs to come out,you'd still find people more qualified than he is. Hope you get my drift?

SirShymexx:


It isn't really about the products of the Uni not being considered good enough British employers, it has more to do with the fact that the Unis at the bottom are mostly new Unis that uses to be polytechnics and they haven't been able to build the type of trust employers can vouch for. And most of them are still growing, hence they always different campuses scattered everywhere. While the ones at the top are old red brick universities employers can trust. The disparity is well outlined once you look at the names of the Unis on both lists (my alma mater is on the best list lol).

Also, in the U.K, Unis are also graded per department basis. Overall, UEL might be graded as the worst Uni but might be one of the best when it comes to Accounting. However, this won't be accounted for when you start judging it on overall basis.

Anyway, the fact that she was able to get into PwC and get to the top, despite being a product of UEL, is the most important thing here due to how competitive it's and the institutionalised racism prevalent at some of these top-tier companies. You either have to be from a solid and well connected background, attend oxbridge and a private/grammar school, or have an established career, to get into some of them. The Guardian UK newspaper is a classic example because I believe about 90% of their employees attended Oxbridge.

She has done well for herself. You had a pig who attended Harvard and MIT that failed woefully. But even without a free hand to operate - you can see that Kemi is very bright with good intentions. So, name and pedigree of institution are irrelevant here - the ability to do the job is the most important thing. Some of the smartest folks never attended the best Uni because they're late bloomers and they discovered their method of assimilation and regurgitation, which formal education is about quite late. However, that hasn't stopped them from being some of the most astute problem solvers ever.

Let me use a yank example since a lot of you are Anericophile: George Bush attended Yale University while Ronald Reagan barely had formal higher education but we all know who was the better of the two. The latter is seen as one of the greatest presidents the US ever had, while the former would have to be one of the dumbest leaders ever lol. That should tell you all you need to know.

The guy dey voice IMF and World Bank because dem sound big. Reaching a top level at PWC is impressive. One does not have to have worked for IMF or WB to be a successful finance minister. The head of the world bank the poster is referring to is not even a finance/economics person.The other one, IMF, the head was a minister of trade in France and then something else before being appointed to head the IMF. Before the ministerial stints, she worked for a Law firm. As in a lawyer. Why do I say all these? To drive home the point that one does not need to have worked for 'IMF' and 'WB' to be qualified enough to be finance minister..

In my view, Madam Kemi is not unqualified to hold that office. I cannot begin to name many successful finance ministers around the world who either have the kind of training that Kemi had or do not even come close.. Contrary to the popular opinions, someone does not have to be a former IMF or WB or OECD worker with a fancy PhD in Economics/Finance to be a successful finance minister. Afterall, the role of a finance minister is not primarily a rigorous research role..

Anyway, I know some younger ones won't agree or want to learn. They have their opinions, lol, which is cool. But I just wanted to clearly state the above for those open to new ideas to see things from another perspective.

In life, there will always be people that are more this and more that..That does not mean that the people who are less this and less that are not qualified to do a job.

chronique:
Exactly. And I think Kemi doesn't have that kind of experience needed to be a finance minister just yet.
