mention another erudite in the 46 Ministerial list please that is not politically affliated

seunmsg:
To be fair to him, he advocated for people who have things to offer and are willing to serve to be allowed to serve irrespective of party affiliation since public service belongs to no one’s father.

Digging deep to bring out a 2019 tweet where he said something not so nice about Tinubu just to blackmail him is nonsense. A lot of those that accused Peter Obi of being a failure while serving as governor are now telling us he’s the best thing to happen to humanity after slice bread. People change their opinion about others with time and it’s no big deal.

So, it’s nothing. The tweet means nothing. He will serve as minister and contribute his quota to the development of the country. We want people who can deliver result in government and not asslickers. You all should learn to deal with it.

Co-founder and CEO of Nigeria’s biggest tech hub, Co-Creation Hub, Bosun Tijani, has been included in the second batch of the ministerial list by President Bola Tinubu.

As he did in the first batch, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, appeared before the Senate on Wednesday, to deliver the 19 names for screening.

Tijani, a 46-year-old initiated Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg’s first-time visit and received him in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole in August 2016.

He is a Nigeria-British entrepreneur born on July 20, 1977, with a diploma in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Jos between 1996 and 2002 respectively.

He joined the Lagos Business School, Accenture and Junior Achievement for an MBA Course, Venture in Management in 2003.

He has a Master’s degree in Information Systems and Management from the Warwick Business School in 2006/2007.

In 2013, he did the Innovation for Economic Development executive programme at the Harvard Kennedy School, and also recently added a PhD, in Innovation and Economic Development at the University of Leicester.

From September 2003 till about mid-2004, he worked as a Business Development Manager with DeliveryKing.

He has a broad working experience in the tech world as he also worked as Deployment Lead (Africa) with Hewlett Packard (HP) Global Micro-enterprises Acceleration Programme (GMEAP) for about a year.

He managed the ODel learning centre at the Africa Virtual University in Kenya and completed the deployment of the HP, IEEE and University of Ibadan telecentre in Nigeria within the period.

The 46-year-old also initiated and completed the deployment of the HP Micro-enterprise Acceleration Programme learning centre at the Lagos Business School in Nigeria and provided recognizable support to its deployment in Egypt and Morocco.

Among his wide coverage of work in the tech field was that between November 2005 and May 2007, he was with the International Trade Centre (UNCTAD/WTO) as the ICT Consultant responsible for the design, implementation and management of ICT for trade development-related projects in developing countries.

TheNiceGuy:
He's not worth it.

He's not popular at home.

Nairaland is now a Yoruba's platform to spite the Igbos but finally Nigeria will still separate and we will see who survives.

Dmacqh:
What's the sin of Ndi-Igbo ?

Akwamkpuruamu:
Like the Igbos won't have to farm to feed or develop indigenous Technologies for survival?

Taylor90:
Starve Igbos of Ewedu and gbegiri

Prepared under a playful dirty ground where kids with runny nose are

Forget Amala Sky and other fancy Yoruba restaurants

Go to local yoruba restaurants and see if you can take a bite

obembet:
God bless YORUBA people

Corn247:
The former president is a yoruba man with ancestry link to ogun state

As I watched this, I couldn't help but feel a strong emotional response. It gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes. I was deeply moved by the senselessness of dividing people with the same shared heritage and culture.pic.twitter.com/G7Zb8E2Mnk

watersideboys:
Obi is coming . No need for this 😆

yinkus6750:
A francophone country is where we are conjoined to.
It's okay.
And we can't coopt with better advanced countries.

flokii:
There is a big similarity between Obi and the arindin Chinedu in LP.. they are not street smart or wise atal.

Web2020:
If the injustice going on in Nigeria is not addressed, what will happen to Nigeria will shock the entire world. Injustice should be condemned by all. Quick examples of injustice are:
1. The head of Igbos was arrested for saying if the government cannot guarantee their protection, they will find a way to protect themselves while the like of Oluomo and Oba of Lagos is still working around free.

2. Nandi Kanu is still in detention illegally because he speaks the truth to the government about why the likes of Asari that openly form a militia group are still working as a free man.
It goes on and on.

It is a matter of time, injustice does not guarantee a good result. You may be thinking that you are successful in it, but one day you will regret it.

It's unfair na haba, Babajide otitoju of TVC don dey lick Tinubu's balls since time immemorial yet nothing for am
