Jeez. Just one person alone? No wonder Fayose bow. Ekiti pple una too much Oooooooo. Abeg take a bow and go!

Intimidating c.v.

And he could not win his own ward with all this, it shows he is not a familiar with his people, and not a philanthropist





"Hypocrisy is when you support your own
criminals(amaechi, atiku, tinubu etc), and when
I support my own criminals(mimiko, saraki etc)
you begin to condemn me. Is amaechi different
from mimiko? We are not ready for change at
all in this country". Quote me anywhere

Chooooi

I dey tel you. See qualification with experience..... Which Technocrat pass this one?

Pls Mods lets take this to the front page at least to challenge and inspire our youths.

Mods Abeg oh..... Do the needful

No wonder. Too much book made him detached from Ekiti people who accused him of being too elitist. I bow for this man.

Gone are those days when the ekitis are know to be professor and readers of books, but now they so gullible to have sold their birthright for a bag of rice and kerosine...... Now they wine and dine in poverty

O boy ye,see CV. I'm inspired.

Lol with all that qualifications yet fayose defeated him last year. with all that qualification yet PMB with ordinary WAEC certificate (if he has one though) is the president of Nigeria. With all that qualifications yet mark zuckerberg is the owner of the largest social network in the world not to talk of the likes of bill gates, dangote and others too numerous to mention.
Moral of this: In life it's not about all about the certificates you acquire, but what you can do with or without it

Ekiti senators are not impressed!

Some people will say PMB didn't appoint technocrats.very intimidating CV.Nice on I'm inspired already

politics is not about all these .Uncle practice what you preach

fayemi take a bow and go o! see cv this cv makes amaechi's look like the cv of an unemployed graduate

You people bringing fayose and ekiti people into this thread should please stop it,the purpose of the thread is to inspire othe young people.
@mods I feel this is worthy of front page.

Read it throughout the night

And someone will tell us that Fayemi is not a technocrats with this CV.This is intimidating.He is sound.

Fayemi is a great guy but there is nothing intimidating in listing all the one day courses one attended, all the committees one has been member of and all the articles one wrote as part of a CV. If you want to see an intimidating CV, see Soludo's CV.

Barcanista and Co. Please come and read ohhh. See who Buhari Wan Carry join THIS AWA Government

If your own is nursery,Mine is creche.

What an excellent academic pedigree, and some people are still yabbing thrash that PMB did not appoint technocrats

Firebrands being drafted into service

[b]Nothing astonishing about his CV! I've read more intimidating cv than this! Prof charles soludo etal! This people went to school in the good old days when education was apparently free! So back then one can read to the Highest level of education if he likes and still get an instant job offer unlike what is obtainable in present day Nigeria. If you watch closely, you would notice that those that were privileged to Read back then are now the Elites we have in our body polity today. Most are in key government positions, and handdling other Top management position in other parastatals. Today we have first class, 2.1 without jobs! University education is now for the Rich! So a lot of things has changed now. Nigerian Youths are getting demoralised with the Rot in the system. Where you can't get a good government job without connection. Where, without work experience of 3-5yrs you can't get employed! How is it possible for a fresh graduate to get such experience? Again to prune down teaming number of job applicants, they came up with Age limit. Just so annoying!!!![/b]

Damn only one person...

You had opportunities to enjoy from this country and turn back to join Others to destroy it.

Extent that your own people rejected you at poll


God will sure judge you and others that kept this country in dark
