So because the governor elect failed English, he will not perform well in office?

Not just English

In other major subjects

But he is a Bsc and Msc holder, he is into hospitality, construction, oil and gas, and agriculture.
So his SSCE is more important

Just as Tinubu was discovered to be a guinea pig student of government college lagos used to test run the school four years before the school was established only to emerge from nowhere with a first class degree in accounting.

Am not talking about Tinubu, am interested in your view about Monday Okpebholo.
Bsc and Msc holder Vs SSCE, what are we going to use for judgement

Why was he running away from TV/media interviews and debates?

Just the same way Tinubu ran away from debates and media interviews, and today we are now seeing the effects of his incompetence and cluelessness.

Debates is a way to market your ideas to voters and doesn't translate to you being a good governor. So many debates have been held in Nigeria and nothing has changed.
Corruption has entered so many things this days and political parties are aware of this, because they benefits from it.
PDP pay to get debate questions ahead of time in their various state, APC does the same and APGA too.

Read the article again. I think you have a problem with comprehension. By the way SSCE is the bases ot foundation of all qualification.

Honestly some people are funny!! Using his SSCE to judge him a man with Msc O!
Politics is really destroying this country

I always tell people, the masses are a bigger probIem than the politicians.
The masses are more political than the politicians.

How did he achieve Degree and M.Sc. with that SSCE if u are not trying to mischievous?

So what buys you a GLK?

Yahoo
Rituals
Thuggery
Agberoism
Politics
Banditry

Ok. I get where you are coming from

Lanretoye:
going to school does not buy one GLK,our inherited form of education and even curriculum is not helping our situation and that’s why many of us are good on pen and paper cos that’s the only tool we were tought to handle.you wonder why we produce thousands of graduates yearly and unemployment keeps growing,cos the crops of graduates we produce are job seekers not job creators.even from school what they tell us is that we are going into the labor market to look for jobs instead of making is to see ourselves as people that will create jobs.
Education is the key as they told us but na you go still open door.

Devaluation in education because he got a D and E in his result Bases foundation which made way for other higher qualifications. I hope you got all around A in your result

His write up is politically motivated. A man that is over qualify in terms of academic and work experience he is concerned about his SSCE result, a result with no single F O!

Sam8891:
You deserve to buy fuel for 2k per liter.

Let them sell it 10k people that can afford it will buy even fuel were sold less than 100 naira people who can't afford were in this country.

It is despicable that I live in the same country with peeps who support this madness.

There is nothing like madness,You were reasoning from sentimental and painful angles.the constitution says certificate not number of Cs or As the candidates scores.If those with C and A are doesn't have balls to contests who's fault

He thinks he is smart.
Digging out SSCE when the said person already has M.Sc.
How did he get M.Sc with that result.

His academic qualification and work experience will inspire my kids and many kids to greatness, that nothing should hold you back to achieve great things.
You refused answering my questions about professional body and your result

That is why your children should emulate such performance in school.

Each time I see people like you come out in the open and defend mediocrity, I am reminded about the enormous problems we have as a country and the rot in our system. It's rather unfortunate what you celebrate.

Fortunately, I have been privileged to conduct recruitment for a company, and it was a nice experience. let it be worthy of note that competent and incompetence are two different words.

I doubt you know the meaning of competent and incompetent
Competent: having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully.
Incompetent: inability to do something successfully; ineptitude.

The recently elected governor's secondary school results are making the rounds, and it reads more like a punchline than a political resume. With grades like E8 in Government, D7 in Commerce, and D7 in English, one can’t help but wonder: is this the academic yardstick for leadership now? The real concern isn’t his academic struggles, but the moral message these results send to young students.
In a society that constantly preaches the value of education, what example is being set when someone with subpar grades ascends to one of the highest offices in the state? Why should a high school student slog through night-after-night of studying when an E8 in Government can still lead to governing an entire state?
The message this sends is simple: academic excellence is optional. Sure, understanding Government or Economics is helpful—but clearly not mandatory. It’s as if we’re saying, “Work hard... or don’t. Either way, you’ll be just fine, and maybe even end up a governor.”
Let’s not forget the irony. C5 in Mathematics? Maybe he can use his average math skills to calculate how many students will stop caring about their studies, now that they know D7s and E8s can lead to political power. But here’s the kicker: If our future leaders keep sporting grades like this, who’s going to handle the economy? I’m guessing it won’t be the student striving for an A in Economics—they’ll be too busy contemplating why they bothered.
In short, if the governor-elect is the new role model for success, why should students bother trying to be their best? The D7s and F9s of today may just be the governors of tomorrow.

Mr Man, I have some questions for you

1. Have you joined a political party?

2.Have you apprenticed yourself to a politican?

3. How many political meetings have you attended?

4. Do you know your local ward chairman.

Your comment reminds me of the guy with brillant university result, who was grumbling that he was yet to get a job...meanwhile his mate that stopped at primary 6 was a councillor in their LGA.

The reason why is this...his mate joined a political party, was active in the party....while he left his village and went to school in the big city. By the time he came back, a lot of water had passed under the bridge.

I am not a fan of APC, PDP or any of them useless parties. But one thing I know, if I want to be an elected somebody with my big degree and better SSCE result...I have to join one of the useless parties. It is not by sitting down and crying about how they no give me positon , instead dem give that dundee united with F9 parallel...dundee that joined party, while I was busy parading my excellent WAEC result up and down....

From the way you are talking, it is almost as if you believe that they should dash you governor because you got 7 A1 in SSCE....

Aregbesola of Osun state got a DIVISION 1 in his WASC In the 1970's (Division 1 was what they used to give guys whose WAEC result was so good, universites will beg them to come to their campus). Yet in order to become a governor, he first had to join a party. He had to subordinate himself to people that were not his equal in acada. Simple.

Maybe APC should not have chosen that their candidate, but that is not how it works. It is people who get seen that get chosen.

GO and join a party. We are tired of illiterates ruling us, and tired of literates who sit in their house and chant about how the world owes them a living.

No food for lazy man.

Ah, so you’ve laid out the blueprint for how to succeed in Nigeria—apprentice yourself to mediocrity, attend a few political meetings, and voilà, you're in power. Bravo. This is exactly the mentality that has kept the country stagnant for decades.

Let’s get something straight: people like you are the problem. You celebrate mediocrity and defend it like it’s a national treasure. Instead of pushing for actual competence, you’re here glorifying the idea that to get ahead, one must join a "useless" party and bow to people who have no business leading a classroom, let alone a state.

You really expect me to take advice from someone who believes that the only way forward is to join the same circus that has left our roads in shambles, our youths jobless, and the country’s name synonymous with corruption? You’re part of the reason why brilliance is mocked and incompetence is paraded like it’s some kind of badge of honor.

The real joke here is not the guy with 7 A1s in SSCE; it’s people like you, who think that striving for excellence is the problem, while worshipping mediocrity is the solution. Let’s not even start with the “no food for lazy man” nonsense. There’s a difference between being lazy and refusing to kiss the feet of inept politicians.

So, keep defending the same system that’s run this country into the ground. After all, you seem to have mastered the art of making excuses for why we should all settle for less.

thank you for that textbook definition! Really groundbreaking stuff. I’ll make sure to frame it and hang it on my wall for future reference. But here’s the thing: understanding the definition of competence doesn’t automatically mean you recognize it when it’s missing in real life.

You see, in Nigeria, we don’t need a dictionary to define competence. We just have to look around at the state of the nation. Bad roads, failing electricity, leaders who can’t deliver basic governance—that’s incompetence in full display. You can throw all the fancy definitions at me, but until we start electing people who can actually deliver results, your dictionary meanings are nothing but words on a page.

So, while you’re busy quoting definitions, I’ll be out here pointing out the real-world examples of incompetence you seem to be blind to.

Well, all I am saying is simple. Educated people should join political parties and take over from the illiterates by working within the system

NOpe, we are not celebrating mediocrity, we are being strategic in our thinking.

Either that, or form a party. But forming a party means we have to work with the mediocres at some point. It's cold hard reality.


Mr Man, join a party, or you won't get things done. It is not by shouting on this website.

Your logic is honestly flawed. I wrote an article about how leaders with low academic performance impact students' performance, and now you’re going off-topic, advocating for joining political parties like that’s the magical solution to all our problems.

You sound like a very poor student of history because not too long ago, Nigerians like you chose a leader with a "NEPA certificate" over someone with a PhD. So, what else do you want from me? Should we clap for that strategic thinking?

And let’s talk about the just-concluded elections—did you even bother to look at the résumés of the candidates?

Just checking the year 1972, one can concludethst the government elect was an average and intelligent student. It was taken at the time education at it apex, it was not easy to pass waec at setting then, I sat for waec 3 times then. There was no miracle centres or special centers. Even a standard six student then is far better than some university graduates currently. I was a teacher for 15yrs and I specialize on exam runs after my nysc.

Pls we should be proud of him for having such grades at that material time.

Ooh , with the help of miracle and special centers. How many of our students now day can pass exam without coping from textbook.
