Wise assistance than giving money to touts and political jobbers
Re: Akinwumi Adesina Meets John Connors, American Who Sponsored Him In School by Ojady(m): 4:33am On Oct 03, 2019
In the good old days and in saner societies where values are upheld, people do not give you fish (useless Celebrities and unknowns going public to announce dashing millions to a girl disqualified for behaviour they cannot tolerate as one of theirs) rather they let you taste the fish, point you in the direction of the pond, show you what and how to do it and the rest is up to you. Moral of the Story: He gives him a seed, the money, then the pond, (the scholarship) The oyinbo man and even we the readers never knew it happened. Adesina himself after owning ponds, decided to share one of his many secrets (the secrets of men are in their stories, you see...) If you wan help, help with sense, not with your own agenda (Word to the MFs mouth dashing Tacha millions for zero talent)

And, has he sponsored anyone else through school?

Maybe his relatives, yes.
But, can he do the same for people not related to him?

A touching story. If he were in Nigeria, he would have been sent to Mechanic workshop to learn the trade. No scholarship, grant, or talent hunt. Just a society constantly seeking for the weakest to oppress.

Nothing wrong with mechanic workshop or any honest labor...
That’s how someone like Billionaire Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis) started out.

There are MANY paths to paradise.

Meanwhile, let’s quit spinning patently FALSE narratives about Nigeria...
Some of the most educated and accomplished people in Nigeria today were born DIRT POOR!

As admittedly troubled as our public educational system presently is...
Nigeria has made REMARKABLE investments in free, subsidized or relatively cheap public education since Independence.

These are the kind of people we ought to give mandate to run the affairs of this country. Unfortunately, cabals, mass illiteracy, electioneering frauds and so on will not let them Clinger power.

Someday, the narratives will change.

Imagine Adeshina as our president, Ramaphosa would have been put in his place with exceptional brilliance. Let's continue to vote for fermented kunu drunkards and expect Nigeria to become Singapore
martowskin1:
I wish he could be the president, must Dundee rule us, watin self, country filled with educated elites like adeshina .... We saw buhari to pick as president
Studyinchina200:
Nigerians don't know what they really want.

You have brilliant people like Adesina and you keep voting for corrupt guys with WAEC.

Not to take anything away from his achievements as a technocrat...
But wasn’t he in government as Minister for 5 years, and what exactly did he achieve? shocked

this is why i don't hate the white. no matter what their forefather did in the past

First, you should NEVER hate (nor love) anyone merely for their color (or tribe or religion, in Nigeria)....
Nonetheless, for every white person like this, there are 10s who will duck you over (and vice versa), so judge each person for themselves.

Yes ooo.... Buhari who has a forgiven heart still forgave him and nominated him for that Position. But some dude will still think that he went there with his effort.

Already acknowledged his technocratic accomplishments (after all, he came into the GEJ cabinet from AGRA)...
Question (following the clamor here for a position in the Nigerian govt) is what he achieved for Nigerians in his tenure in the Nigerian govt?

There are good (and bad) people in EVERY race (or ethnicity)...
Therefore, judge INDIVIDUALS on their own merit and not on stereotypes or prejudices.
