See Nigerians’ Reactions To Invitation Of MC Oluomo As Special Guest At An Event In UNILAG

Social media has gone haywire over the invitation of Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo, the leader of Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos chapter, to a seminar at the University of Lagos.

The NURTW boss was invited as a special guest.

Many who wondered, ‘how a National Thug will be allowed to talk in UNILAG and Sowore wasn’t welcomed.” have taken to Twitter to share their opinions.

One of the major issue with Nigeria is the fact that we feel formal Education is the only way. MC Oluomo doesn't have to be a graduate or educated before he can deliver a speech. Transport business in Nigeria(Lagos especially) is thriving and he is an authority in that aspect. https://t.co/NEo5GymMKo

It appears most of you don’t even know who MC Oluomo is! He is not the one in suit and tie. You are calling someone illiterate but you cannot differentiate between a special guest and a guest speaker!! Even if you must drag everything drag with some intelligence. pic.twitter.com/XLBepY5BWA

I won't invite MC Oluomo to a discourse on law, governance, human rights. But, certainly, he is a valuable academic *resource* in sociological studies of unionism and strong-arm politics.

The real issue is: Did Unilag actually invite him for his knowledge or just as patronage?

Those criticizing UNILAG for inviting MC OLUOMO to come speak on their event concerning transportation, are the reason Nigeria isn't moving forward…cos He's isn't a university graduate, you that have BSc. and co, what have you contributed to the society?

What's wrong with inviting MC oluomo to a program based on transportation?? It's his field goddammit. Y'all just like creating a scene out of nothing.

Whether he is a ‘park agbero’ or not, MC Oluomo holds an important position in the current Transportation system. Who knows the reason why such decision was made? Last last, the event is trending, and many will go to the venue just to ‘hear what he has to say’.

Publicity.

MC Oluomo is the Mike Sonko of Nigeria. Sonko is currently doing pretty well as the governor of Nairobi. My Nigerian friends, your MC Oluomo is on his way to Lagos government house. The invitation as a guest speaker at the Uni of Lagos is just a starting point. #Nigeria #Kenya pic.twitter.com/9zo6q1TLZU

MC Oluomo will give Unilag 5M
Those that invited him together with the ogas will share 3M
They will give the remaining 2M to the institution
10 students will vow to be like MC Oluomo after graduation
At least 7 will eventually be
The evil of today will produce evils tomorrow.

People just get angry at everything in this country so coz MC Oluomo is a thug he shouldn’t speak on transportation? He is qualified to do that or do you want Unilag to call your father working in bank to speak on transportation?

MC Oluomo is being positioned for Lagos State Governor. There’s a PR machinery building a new image of him. The other time was the pictures with a governor of an American state at some award with his son. Recently many posters around Lagos thanking NURTW for their support. https://t.co/8IqY4HZkU3
