I don't argue baselessly: go and check the past records and tell me who presides over National Economic Council. For your information, Governors from each states are members too.

Google to learn: forget all your assumptions without empirical evidence.

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

Reno is clueless or appropriately, mischievous since one can't really say he is ignorant. Didn't we just vote out a president with a doctorate because of his disastrous performance? Perhaps we should put in our constitution that a Harvard or an Oxford PhD is the basic minimum to contest Nigeria's presidency.

Kemi Adeosun's performance as a finance minister is above average. Her portfolio is quite different from NOI's who, in addition to traditional role of finance minister, also controlled fiscal policy (in Jonathan administration). In Buhari administration, the fiscal policy is being driven not by the finance ministry but budget and national planning manned by Udoma. The disastrous monetary policies are championed by Emefiele ably supported by Buhari's irresponsibility. Replacing Kemi Adeosun would have no effect on both the fiscal and monetary policies. In any case, because many Nigerians are uninformed anyway, a poor economy is automatically blamed on finance minister regardless of who hold(s) portfolios that can actually tweak the economy.

Finally someone with sense
Emefiele is incompetent

shizzy7:
This man is not serious.

The worst university in London is better than the best federal uni in Nigeria.

At least they don't go on stupid indefinite strike like ASUU neither do their lectures continue lecturing with the same 1988 syllabus in 2016.

Someone tell this man that best or worst uni does not equate intellect it only enhances or diminishes it.

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

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.

Roon9:
She attended a Polytechnic no wonder

poly is not a school I think ?

University league tables are somehow elitist.They don't mean a lot really. The only difference to me between lowly ranked schools and top schools are the entry requirements but in the league tables you see things that are totally subjective to student's opinion and they compile these tables by the students questionnaires.No matter how some universites develop each year, they will not be uniquely favoured by the league tables because they are not the so called red brick University and no matter how bad a red brick university does, it will not be uniquely disfavoured.

Using league tables to judge a university is like using the rotten tomatoes movie review website to judge a movie. They are only people's opinion.

I once attended an assessment centre with about 9 candidates from red brick universities and I was from a post 1992 university.After several exercises, numerical test and one-to-one interview,you know who got the job?Me.

Top universities certainly opens the door for you but won't help you to be the best you can be unless you have the motivation.

Now we know how 16 + 6 =24

shotster50:
University of East London is miles better than Nigerias' Federal Universities.

So that means Emiefile who went to school in Naija should never have been elected right?

Odogwu042:


My friend your own Zombeism needs extra deliverance o.. Ask obj, First Lady and others all of them have been cured . Receive your curing now o

But he is right. Emiefiele is in charge of monetary policy.

This man should keep shut joor, as if his boss and him are not among looters that put us in the present situation....so polytechnic does not produce good students again? Agent of dichotomy.... Don't we have drop out that are better than sycophant like him...

All this to qualify what exactly sir?

So people who go to good schools are dumb

She didn't just attend any school but the worst no wonder she speaks cockney. Jaguda girl

Trust me if she had something between her ears she'd have better grades and a better school

Anyway since its Nepa certificate her oga has guess this makes her an upgrade

By the way, Dangote attended Al-Azhar University, Cairo and not Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard...see how bad he is performing in business.

mrvitalis:


Hope u know recession is just a symptom??

Lolz, u re so funny. I got better things to do abeg! #GotNoTime2WasteOnZombies*

People like Reno know what some section of Nigeria want to hear. So, he and his cohorts feed that uninformed section of Nigeria what they so crave to hear. In what ways did Reno contribute to the development of his community during the last administration? No be him fault!

this comment will not be replied. thanks for enlightening them

mr reno at least she attended a university.it is easy for someone to give advice when not in position of authority but do exactly opposite when thrust with huge respomsibility.
finance minister is putting in her best to salvage the economy,and what nigerians need now is for buhari to be focused on the economy and stop.this unnecessary payback...thank you.

No one is saying people who went to top schools are dumb Sir. All i'm saying is that league tables are not an absolute.

KingOfAmebo:


Oga, with all the grammar you typed up there only a fool will believe The Finance Minister has nothing to do with the present recession...how you came up with your "above average" performance for Mrs Kemi Adeosun in this present mess, makes me suspicious you must be her husband or boyfriend. It's all visible to the eyes and audible to our ears that she is also clueless.

Monetary policy is under the auspices of the central bank of which Emiefiele is in charge of.

What is special in being a senior manager at pricewater house coopers which is an audit and financial advisory firm? During my ACCA days,I had some of these top auditors and tax consultants from kpmg,pricewaters,mtn,deliotte,et al,lecture me. Even my papa wey work with barclays bank(uk),cbn,fbn,retired as an AGM in naija's biggest bank and has done consulting jobs for most of the top financial institutons in this country,might not even have a cv strong enough to nick that job. You're talking about someone being a senior manager at pricewaters. Mediocrity actually thrives in this country....

This dude just called his father incompetent...

Thank you for the comment.League tables respect the older schools more. Architecture department in UEL is one of the best in the country(their students have won almost every top Architecture awards in the country over the past years) yet someone will go to league tables and say UEL is worst and the last.

KingOfAmebo:
To all those saying The Finance Minister is doing well, I wonder if you are all using your brains for reasoning or you are just defend her out of pity.

Here is common sense: If she is really "doing well" then why the hell are we still in recession? Why the hell is the economy in a terrible state? What exactly is she doing well? Have you all lost your senses?

I need answers...tell us exactly what she is doing well to keep us in this mess, if doing well means keeping us in this mess then y'll are mad.

Emiefiele is in charge of monetary policy. Monetary policy is the job of the central bank of which Godwin Emiefiele is in charge of.

Reno is being clever by half.

The choice of university also remains key. According to the guide, 45.6% of students from the University of East London, at the bottom of the rankings, are not in professional posts six months after graduating.

Yet more than 90% of graduates from St George’s, University of London and Imperial College London, which are ranked first and second, secure good jobs or go on to further study within six months. At Surrey, the Sunday Times university of the year, 78.8% get a professional job or go on to further study.

Stephanie’s mother, Carolyn Charbine, 51, is shocked at her daughter’s experience. “When she told me she wanted to go into law, I was impressed. You think that’s a good job that will set her up for life,” she said.

“I’m surprised at how difficult it is . . . A good law degree is not a golden ticket.”

This ranking is based solely on professional jobs after graduation.
By Omokri's logic, St George’s, University of London is the best University in the UK. I don't even know the university.

what problem is he having with the polytechnic? Nigeria syndrome!! many bests attended polytechnics -Abraham Einstein etc. Nigeria should pls stop being certificate freak, it gets us nowhere

Funny how you guys reason and interprete things. Guess you don't know what the word "might" means. That a student doesn't take the first position in a contest,doesn't mean he isn't good enough to be first. "Might" not have a strong enough cv doesn't imply he isn't good enough or incompetent. It means there's the certainty and possibilty that there might be other candidates with stronger cv and more experience. I'm not one to come and shout that he is the best,when I haven't seen what others have to offer. But I sure do know he is a performer and has excelled so well in his career.

Nope! That's not what he said. It's you that is saying it. Talk about wrong interpretation.

Who is Abraham Einstein again?

Secondly, in the West there is a reason why they put people who went to the best universities in charge of most govermental positions.

mrvitalis:
Obviously reno don't know the job of a finance minister.. .. Based on her job she has done wonderfully well

The only person i have issues with is the cbn governor... stop selling few dollars we have cheaply

Reno will never stand debate instead he will look for people with bad English or bad understanding to reply on tweeter or Facebook

Have u ever seen him or Bruce reply a reasonable comment or tweet? ?

yes o!!! All those cheap dollars bs the end, who pays the balance

Please, let's learn to respect ourselves and at d same time command respect.

The purpose of that uni stats is quite different to what Obokri was ranting about! The stats show how graduates are doing in terms of securing professional jobs after graduation. And see comments wey ppl dey leave sef, It's becoming hard to find ppl with real human brain in naija now!

martineverest:
but its still better than all nigerian universities combined

Bros pls broadcast or open a thread on Western Delta University. Oghara, Delta State. The school is telling students who have graduated from the school and have even served that they have carryovers whenever they come for transcript. It has gotten to the point that one of their students is about to sue them and they're trying to threaten. Pls broadcast so that the world can see it. They're telling the boy nothing would happen and that they would go and bribe the judge.
