‘National Thug Talking In Unilag’—Reactions Trail MC Oluomo Invitation To Speak At Unilag
A deluge of opinions on Thursday greeted the invitation of leader of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos chapter, Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, to speak at the University of Lagos (UNILAG)
Oluomo was invited as a special guest for a seminar organised by the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
However, this invitation has yet again made him the subject of discussion on social media with mixed reactions welcoming his invitation.
While many expressed shock and disappointment some commended him for “not only being an agbero” but being “more qualified to speak at the event than 95% of our current and past graduates”.
A twitter user expressed his disappointment and shock saying: “How can a National Thug be allowed to talk in UNILAG and Sowore wasn’t welcome”.
While another stated that “the event was organized by the transport unit of a Dept there..all invitees are stakeholders in the transport sector”, hence the need for his presence.
This would not be the first time Oluomo will be in the spotlight. In June, MC Oluomo, his wife and son Ololade received an honorary invitation by the executive governor of Georgia USA, Brain Kemp and his wife, Marty Kemp as a result of his son’s academic excellence.
Read some mixed reactions below:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, MC Oluomo wasn't invited to share from the depths of his knowledge/expertise but from the depths of his pocket.
Money will confer wisdom to you.
You will be amazed at the reception of your audience. Owó ló n sòrò.

University of Lagos should be renamed MC Oluomo University,Akoka-Lagos..UNILAG Authorities should consider this,since they have no idea what to do with their brains anymore.

Here we go again Nigerians thinking that the only way u can get educated is through schooling. That's the biggest trap of the century. We get educated by getting knowledge which can be available everywhere. MC oluomo is super qualified and experienced to speak in unilag.

It’s funny that many think MC Oluomo got that invite because of his “intelligence” on the transport sector.
Many student events don’t care about that. As long as gou can sponsor, you’ll get a speaking slot. Simple.— Black Jaguar (@A_Feranmi) September 19, 2019
