Akinwande doesn't want to be dragged into what may end up being his waterloo.NERC is a very sensitive parastatal and I'm not sure this Prof can handle our polithievcians hence his decision.I won't blame him but what happens if capable hands refuses to take up sensitive posts?May God help us. |

Please leave this man alone. The handwriting is boldly written, "I don't need your job". Look for someone else who is competent. Chikena!!! |

truthspeaks:Am sure you got it right. Some Nigerians are very decent and highly responsible, will not want to associate with people who not know his right from left. For example, not natural and trust worthy person will like to rub himself with Buhari, who does not know anything other than going after the crude oil communites, whether or not his government is causing the highest inflation thereby increasing the death arising from commission of suicides, increasing untold hardship. But when it come to how to oppress, desregard and undermind the people, he will jump up, push the army to close thier routes, roads etc. so that they willl continue to face hardship. |

Atiku2019:I do not care whether his ears were blasted by avengers that is causing the dumbness, it will be very foolish to associate with a daft, highly incompetent, one who does not listen and take genuine advice. For example, from independence to date, Buhari is the only leader with the highly killings. Ipob 200, shiit 500 etc. Why then, should a decent person agress to be listed or mentioned to have worked for such man? |

No one wants to associate with this direction less and incompetent government...It took 2-3 years before Gej started receiving insults from Nigerians but Buhari's own started barely 3-4 months into his tenure all due to his decisions/Indecisions and policies. I even come dey pity Buhari sef |

You mean this guy wants to resign his MIT appointment for some stupid NERC job! I just pity him. He's gonna be messed up and subsequently roped into some "corruption stuff" by the ruling hegemony. I wish I could contact this guy and advise him ASAP. It's not worth it serving this country the way it's presently constituted. He's gonna be messed up. |

As usual, Nigeria is a joke! I'm not interested in whether he attended screening or not but that he is from MIT and needs to resign. Nigerians are EMPTY, INSECURE FOOOOOOOOOLS! There was once a Barth Nnaji with paper qualifications from all the universities in America to fill a file cabinet. WHERE IS THE LIGHT?! Now, Lawyer Fashola is the head of light and works and these bastard Nigerians are screaming that he's a lawyer and unfit for the job. Ladies and gentlemen, Maitama Sule no even go university but when he was in charge of light, works, mines, petroleum (one man o), all these things ran better than for the over- "qualified" people you have today. I repeat the one billionth time: Nigerians are the problem with Nigeria. Nigerian people and Nigerian leaders are both the same: they have NO CLUE how nations develop. They're just fumbling from one place to the other in mutual agreement on what they're doing and refusing to be brought into any real debate with someone like me as to whether no be craze dey worry all of una. Instead, moi has been declared the crazy person. NIGERIA IS A JOKE!!! 1 Like 1 Share |
