It has started.... cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

First Metuh has a problem with how long it took Buhari to select a VP candidate.

Now this joker of an OP is here questioning his age.

I am surprised PDP is yet to raise questions about the seeming discrepancy in the man's surname!!! cheesy cheesy grin grin

@OP

So just because you finished your o ' levels at the "young" age of 35 years, you assume everyone should be like you right?? cheesy cheesy

You feel because you wrote your o ' level 12 times before managing to scale through almost becoming a career student, we must all have had the same experience right?

Na wah for you ooooo!!!!

Just checked out Prof Osinbajo's profile. It said his LLB degree from the University of Lagos was awarded in 1978. He is 55 years now (born 1959) which means he graduated at the age of 19. How possible could this have been at the time? Meaning he must have finished his O'level at 14, A Higher School Certificate at 16, and then graduate with a Law degree at 19! impossicant-

Got this at the Redeemers University website

emiye:


Your argument is so faulty, i bet there were people younger than Soyinka in Soyinka's class.

Osinbajo is also a genuis in his own right, and there are several popular figures who finished primary school at age 10 at his own generation.
Honestly I didn't quite understand what the comparism was about. When has Soyinka become the standard reference point for the scholarly prowess or otherwise of anyone

These jonaTANians are too damn basic honestly. They couldn't stick anything to the man for two days besides how long it took for him to be selected, and now this!!

Their propaganda machinery has been overheating since Buhari's emergence and they got their gaskets blown after Osinbajo was selected as his running mate!

Whatever mud they throw is already expected anyway.

#Buhari/Osinbajo till 2023.

The fact is that Osibanjo lied about his age.To say d least dat he is even a Pastor.Its rili disgusting.

I don't quite understand the part of where he lied about his age. He is not too young to be an achiever. My uncle (born 1935) has 2 degrees...all before 25yrs. 2nd degree is in law. A cousin also became a lawyer before hitting 21yrs.
I believe the economic background and support of osibanjo's parents played a major part in this.
One should not 4get the fact that most grandparents were farmers, palmwine tappers and so on. A palm oil seller in those days was very lucrative business if done on wholesale scale.
Its also high time we realised that we need intellects who 'have' roadmap/manifestos of their planned action for us. All this bashing won't motivate us to vote anymore. Im tired of a president who claims building secondary schools as part of his achievements (school na capital project?). I also don't want a new one that will add to my agony.

Good choice for vice president. APC hasn't done much in introducing him to the public and creating a strong brand of him. Branding is key here. They still have a long way to go in packaging.

That man Prof Osinbajo was my Law of Evidence Lecturer. If Nigeria wants to be reckoned in the committee of Nations, Prof should even be President. He is 100% capable. He is not only brilliant, his application of his brilliance to governance and life generally is par excellence. I will not only vote for him. I will campaign for him.

The Legal community vouchs for him

The Academic community vouchs for him

The Christain Faith vouchs for him

The Civil Service community vouchs for him

The Civil Society and Human Rights community vouchs for him

The United Nations community vouchs for him

He is a man of unrivalled Integrity!!!!!
