Gov. makinde leads, others follow... This is a win for our youths

safarigirl:
why do you people keep using ministry?

He's not managing a ministry, he's managing a commission. Ministries are Federal level, a Commission is nowhere near as large

Say only what you know. State ministries are headed by Commissioners while Federal ministries are headed by Ministers. Just as the Federal Perm. Secs report to the ministers, the permanent secretary of a state ministry reports to the commissioner.
You've never heard of Lagos State Ministry of Education, Abia State Ministry of Works, Borno State Ministry of Finance? Who do you think head these state ministries?

safarigirl:
the article says he is being considered as a commissioner

commissioners head ministries in state. however, commissioners are also appointed to head agency in both state and federal level.

GOFRONT:
Why y'all wonna Judge dude by his looks??

Y'all forgot don't judge a book by tha Cover?

Even if it's 40 leaves

How large is a State ministry? Is it as large as a Federal ministry? No.

Okay, I apologise for the error, I have never heard of a State minister. They are commissioners and they oversee only state matters, which is what I had in mind. It is not as large as a Federal Ministry.

Okay.

The article doesn't specify what he's heading though.

Like I said earlier, it is more sagacious to ask questions than speak ignorantly. A state ministry has several parastatals under it just as a federal. For example, all public schools (primary to tertiary) and their respective heads in a state are under the purview of the state commissioner for education. All state health facilities and their CMDs will report to health commissioner etc. Even by law, all traditional rulers are answerable to the commissioner for traditional and chieftaincy affairs. There is no state ministry that cannot boast of at least 1000 staff, you call that small? Pick education for example, all headmasters, principals, rectors and VCs of state education institutions..

mostly a ministry. I think he may head ministry of youth and youth. I learn he is a grassroot person. once contested for oau sug president.

GistUpdates:
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has nominated a 27-year-old alumnus of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Seun Fakorede, as a commissioner in the State.

The 2016 Civil Engineering graduate is joining Alhaja Faosat Joke Sunni and Professor Rapheal Afonja who were last week nominated to join the 14 others who were inaugurated last week.

And you didn't see this picture to upload. Who do some of us love character assassination. You want to give a bad impression to the world. It's not good to slander ones image

safarigirl:

Commissioner heads ministry in state but Minister heads it in the federal

...will be answerable to the commissioner for education.
Do not be confused by what that person above is trying to posit. Commissioners for parastatals are quite different and mostly do not need approval of the state house of assembly for appointment. At the federal level, several titles are used to address the head of a parastatal (department, agency or commission) such as DG, MD/CEO, Chairman, Commissioner etc depending on the Act used to establish them. Commissioners are mostly used for parastatals that use commission at the end of their names such as FCC, FCSC, NCFR but some federal commissions still use other titles...eg SEC uses a DG etc.
But the topic in contention is a commissioner to head a state ministry and that is why the approval of the state HoA is being sought. Cheers!

Yeah, He's heading the Youth and Sports Ministry, as expected

After reading some comments on Nairaland, I had to rush to Facebook to search for this guy. I urge everyone to check Asiwaju seun fakorede on Facebook. What Oyo Governor is doing is quiet impressive. The speaker is a young man, nominating a 27yr old is highly commendable. The picture posted on Nairaland was most likely several years ago. How would Seyi Makinde or the guy would have felt reading such devastating comments from us the Nigerian youths. I think we should encourage the guy and let him know that expectations are high so that Nigeria can progress. Our mentality needs to change maybe a new Nigeria we crave will come someday.

I asked if it is as large as a Federal Ministry, I did not say it is small. Everything you wrote here does not invalidate the question or answer.

It is more sagacious to comprehend questions, than answer what was not asked.

Yes, people like Obinwanne knows how to dress the part, but where did that get us?

I have a friend who wears dreads and his personality is so awesome and out of this world.

I have learnt from my little time on earth not to judge people based on their appearance. And I suggest you should be more liberal about your views.

If you can progress a step further by dressing decent, why receed in progresion by dressing indecent. Thats food for thot.
Why are you giving me work to do by getting to know you first in order to apreciate you when you have the power to decide how fast I can know you and appreciate you by presenting a decent look.

Its ok if you are in the entertainment world.. I have no issue with that. But such model doesnt work in the coporate world. Only rebelious people behave like that and they only go as far as thier rebelious life gets them. Show me a non entertainment punk who has climed the corporate ladder. Even JayZ you all give as excuse knows how to dress for specific occasions

Oga sadist why are you still quoting me, it is very clear that seeing people makes you angry. Just because you failed in your youthful age doesn’t mean everybody should. I just pity people around you, especially ur wife and kids, I’m very sure ur wife regret meeting ur miserable self because no one deserves to be with a sadist. Don’t quote me again, go and learn to be happy and make everyone around u happy.

You just failed the leadership test.....

Sharming95:
Hw will dis guy head a whole ministry...sumone if given a company might not b able to run it well...abeg even if day said not too young to rule...no b to day ridicule and misuse it...just look at is appearance and hairstyle...he many experience him get...dis governor no try on dis...dis guy is not mature enuff for dat job

If you know him, you will just keep quiet, bow your head in shame because the only thing you are useful for is talking trash on Nairaland.

If you understood public administration and governance a bit, you may have known there is no basis for comparism. Lagos State Ministry of Education is larger than Federal Ministry of Niger Delta in terms of manpower, budget and other indices. Federal Ministry of Works is larger than Kano State Ministry of Sports or Chieftaincy Affairs but Kano State Ministry of Education is definitely larger than Federal Ministry of Women Affairs. So what exactly is your question?
Football seems to be your forté, stick to it. Good morning!

today Na my birthday show some love guys

Lol! Nigerian bloggers should be ashamed of themselves! Especially y'all here on Nairaland. Very lazy bunch of people.

Instablog posted this particular picture and y'all reposted almost immediately and some here are judging him for his look.

One thing is certain, this guy will over deliver. Wonderful appointment

To be candid, an appearance they say shows the manner. If sars or efcc meets dis Seun on d road, he will be arrested,there is no doubt in it. Bt let's see what he has for us in Oyo.

For a child who likes to insult you should be very carefull with the way you post your pictures around else you will eventually get in trouble.

Remember.... you are responsible for your post.

Oh, so because someone walks into an interview room decked up in suit, you immediately give him the job because you appreciate his decent look? So no assessment about his experience, skills or character? Just appearance is enough for you?

Wow!

Have you taken a look at Senate and house of two gatherings? Are they decked up in suit or their traditional attires? How about house of assembly UN gatherings, are the presidents of representatives of different countries decked up in suits or their chosen attires? One even appeared half naked in the name of tying wrapper.

Jay-z you made reference to is a billionaire and yet decided to wear dreads? You know why? He has reached the stage where he doesn't have to please anybody.

People conform to society expectations when they know they have to please people to get what they want. But when you know you have the ability to get what you want without asslicking, you can do whatever makes you comfortable and not what makes others comfortable.

You can choose your hairstyle, choose the kind of clothes you'll wear, phones, and even decide to buy up the houses on a street so that just you and your family could live there.

I hope you get to that stage in your life, only then will you understand.

Happy birthday. This is whishing you long life and prosperity.
I dont know you but my guts says you will a great person. Enjoy your steady progress in life.

We r all clamouring youth but not this kind. We v youths who av experience in both private and public sector not a fresh graduate who has no work experience. Imagine this boy sitting in front of director and permanent sec,they will tutor him and twist is neck.

Sadist. U started with the insults... and by the way I didn’t insult u, I only told u the truth.

Please don't be shallow in thoughts. The first impression you make is a leverage for you. It plays a part in dictating the outcome of the interview

And who informed you Suits are the only decent dresses around? You are just being cheeky on this.

Like I mentioned earlier in my post. JayZ is smart an knows which dressing matches which occasion. You should too

Very true. I agree with you on this

I hope you get to that stage in your life, only then will you understand.

This clearly doesn't make any sense. Its bereft of communication. I have since past that stage. If you want any funding for your business proposal and you come to me... better make me comfortable as it is my investment. Aside the talking, business presentation and corporate persuasions, I need to be confident you will not blow the deal with irresponsible tendencies... and that starts with your appearance.

Our level of civilization is so low, so because he has dread locks on his head he is a yahoo boy. Does Invictus Obi have dread locks

And if u want to threaten me, threaten me like a man. Don’t b a pussy sadist.

Jay-Z still has dreads even if he wears the most expensive suit. The dreads are still on his head which is the bone of contention here, isn't it?

Appearance to an interview depends on the company. And even at that, the CEO would readily offer someone with experience and character than one who has a clean haircut or decked up in suits.

Decent dressing are for marketers and others who need to source for funds to make a living. Writers, database administrators, programmers, and lots of other wonderful profession don't need to appear decent to get work done and make an impact in the lives of people.

People are now shifting to partnerships rather than sourcing funds from venture capitalist and angel investors who will breath down your neck and prevent you from being productive...

First impression these days don't have to be about appearance, lots of communication are online now. I don't have to deal with your appearance.

Hope he is not another adult shop visitor?
