Reacting to the criticism, MC Oluomo said he did not attend the event again as he is currently in Abuja attending to urgent matters. He wondered why Nigerians would not want to give an opportunity to a person like him.

MC Oluomo said ;

“I don’t know the reason people are going against the invitation because the people who invited him knew what they wanted him to say. If he had gone there and said something wrong, then the critical reactions would have been justified.

“Is it a crime not to be educated? Should people who did not go to school go and commit suicide? I think that if someone did not go to school and has a large following, it is enough reason for people to invite him to occasions. Those who invited him for the event had a strong reason for doing it.

“People are judging MC Oluomo based on hearsay. You don’t judge a book by its cover. We are also making efforts to change the negative impression people have about him.”

Ronaldinho, messi, cr7, maradona and many superstar footballers are illiterates but when it comes to the issue of football discussion/education in any higher institution, no professor can teach or discuss anything football better than them. In the issue of transportation which was the issue MC Oluomo was invited to talk about, I believe even without education, he has experience and high level of understanding in the transportation sector. I am not undermining the importance of education but we shouldn't create issues where there are none.

My country... My people

Is It A Crime Not To Be Educated

Make una allow the mc oluomo be. Many people do not realise that he is the next governor of lagos after sanwo.

The president of Nigeria is not educated so why disturb this guy na

then what would you tell the young ones who labour in school day and night? or the legitimate entrepreneurs? Do you think people will want to go to school anymore?

Still wandering if he was really invited, as in how?

If you want to talk of transportation gurus like you have mentioned messi and Ronaldo on sports, you know the right quarters, not reformed actual thugs or political henchmen who have very strong evidence of calamity and mayhem attached to them to speak to young minds going into the society.

You could have aswell invited Evan or Wadume to speak on elderly care and management.

Our Next Governor of Lagos ..Carry on we are behind U ..Lagos deserves the best Agbero

The issue is not with his lack of formal education.

The issue many people have is about his persona, shady track records and how his name is linked with nefarious and questionable activities.

lemme park here.....

....with due respect to you and MC Oluomo, he only knows the thugnomics of road transportation in Lagos. Inviting him to our Ivory Tower is an insult to the body of academic excellence.

....it is not a crime to be uneducated. It is an insult to invite a symbol of violence to engage in an intellectual discussion in an Ivory Tower like UNILAG.

inviting MC is not the issue because he has some knowledge on transportation. But, when will our society stop promoting miscreants and those that are well known to be menace to the public. Let's call a spade a sapde, he has no good definition to stand before scholars. Don't let us promote nuisance and thuggery and let the younger generation feels what they do is legitimate.. Government can call him to public seminar, I don't care but not in school.

Do you have proof? Why not petition the appropriate authority against him if you do rather than make baseless accusations? Are you not the one actually sounding like an illiterate when you want a knowledge-based society to be condemning a man over conjectures and unproven allegations?

Your talk of Evans just shows how ignorant you are. MC Oluomo, whatever you think of him, is an official representative of the NURTW. What was Evans official job? When Jonathan was giving maritime protection contracts to illiterate militant warlord Tompolo who cannot even speak English, and his ilk,, did you and your fellow PDP wailers complain? Hear Oluomo's name and start hyperventilating. Is he actually not qualified to speak in regards to NURTW business , Like Tajudeen Agbede et al, as an official of the group? Yes or no?

Is he an official representative of the NURTW or not. Simple yes or no abeg. You guys are the ones who talk like illiterates when you want to deny a man the standing his occupation accords him based alone on your negative perception of him and not any wrongdoing proven against him. Are any of the NURTW bosses different to MC Oluomo yet you dimwit don't even know when they are invited to speak anywhere let alone be disturbing us with righteous indignation about them been given an audience. It is only MC you all have a hard-on for as if he is the only NURTW member in Nigeria.

I really dont know how you brought political party partisan talk into this, we are talking of keynote speakers to academic undergraduates.. he works with NURTW, and how has NURTW transformed between previous years and now that warrants him giving lectures to academicians..

Were you not here during the election periods in Lagos and Osun, were you not aware of the stabbings and bloodletting at campaign ground by groups loyal to such individuals..

What is our business with Tompolo, tompolo is a thug with fatal and thuggish track records and not worthy to educate or speak with academic students on any regard in the society..

This is not a political party affair, it is setting mentor examples for undergraduates abeg..

....I know you are a thugnomist like him....

In a country where rogues are the political elites.
A country where tacha with all the character issues will win bbn.
A country where religious leaders bread hate.
A country where the citizens careless about important national issues and give there attention to frivolities.
What do I know, we HV not seen nothing yet.

I think most of the noise regarding this stems from nothing but his taking sides with APC. Very few things whose origins you can't trace to politics these days.

Yes. Nice one... Very sensible answer!

Former education is an effort to equip an individual with knowledge and skills (read, write and deductive logic) for the future.

Paper certificate in not everything. But a means to an end.

The most successful and richest people in life are not professors. But anyone can.

You missed point. It is a case of bringing in an Expert in a transport discussion.

2Baba is not a graduate, but he is an Expert in the Music Industry.

He is NOT there to teach violence. That one is another of his Expertise (incase you need that).

You guys celebrate criminals and touts.

So Chairman of touts has high level of understanding of the transport sector over those that actually make the sector to tick?

Even BRT CEO has a better understanding of how Lagos transport system works that Chairman of touts.

Una need help.

yea i know but what motivation would a student aspiring to get from a know thug?if it was a public lecture i won't have bothered but to bring him inside the citadel of learning thats like slapping students in the face. No reputable university in the world will do that. If you have any give me an example.

Are those same students not following bobyrisky, tonto, bbn, etc?

The event is about Transportation, let's stick to the issue. Or are you saying he is not qualify to discuss Transportation in Lagos?
