So he is qualified but because he was privilege to be the governor's son then he can't be appointed? Bro, I disagree with you.

Stop thinking too low. You think the governor is not enlightened enough to know what people might be thinking in this present age. You don't know anything about politics then.

What you should have done was to read properly the content of the post and take note of the position he's putting his son in. It's a position where corruption and embezzlement takes place very heavily. Project awards, implementation and monitoring unit. All contracts awarded pass through there. So the governor has an eye on every avenue to embezzle through projects.

If the governor wants to enrich his family, there are silent ways to go about it that you won't even know let alone understand. If that was his aim, all he need do is award a N500billion contact to his son and you'll never hear of it. But openly putting the only person he can trust to monitor where money flows through heavily in contacts' name is what you call nepotism

Remain in your crass stupidity don't bother replying.. prince of stupidity


It's not compulsory to abuse verbally, the guy was employed by the state government as a Nigerian, Lagos do employ non native lagosians and u did die, I can do such if he or she is qualified, rather than my son be buying bikes to kill himself when e no get work to do.

Your son already has everything by virtue of who you are, no need to engage in nepotism. Well, it's typical of Nigeria governors. Roachers did it, one ex Oyo State governor did it too

if Yusuf is qualified there is nothing wrong with it...though i doubt that boy qualifies for anything!!! The question you should be asking is.......what are his credentials to be a DG of an agency?

I am not saying it is or isnt nepotism, it all depends on his qualifications for the job and whether due process was followed. I am simply saying that simply appointing a relative to a govt agency is not in itself nepotism.

EDIT:

According to this, he was nominated by the party. If true, Should he deny his son because he is governor? According to the article he played a major role in APC in Ondo state, nobody said dont campaign or help the party because you are governor's son!

Objectively speaking he did not break any laws. If the Son is not qualified to hold the position it would have been another matter altogether. It’s a personal thing, I would not have done the same thing but he did not break any extant laws.

Worrying about nepotism in a failed country is the least of my problems. At a certain level you need people you can trust in sensitive or critical positions. "Someone you can trust" is ultimately a friend or family member...how can you trust someone you dont know? The question like i said is are they qualified for the job?

But feel free to lodge your complaints at any of the following, maybe they can help you:

....and while you are at it you can also lodge complain against Trump who appointed his daughter Special adviser and also Director of the office of economic initiatives and Entrepreneurship, even CNN did not complain...or Boris Johnson who has been appointing he and his wife's friends to cushy jobs!!!!

....dont let oversabi kill you....it is only nepotism if it is unfair. The people that gave us the English you are looking up in dictionary and the democracy we are practising........they do the same thing.
