Malaysia government and people are treating Nigerians like animals,one of my friends got deported because he didn't have hotel reservation with him,i don't know what Nigeria is turning to,i really regret i was born in to this useless country

may boko haram not find him in Jesus name. Amen
These mallam sef, dey can't produce a vc,dey won't give it to a follow Nigerian.#nawaoh#
If a Malaysian is more qualified n would possibly do it better why not? Finally I see Nigeria moving foward n I'm impressed.
If he can do the job, why not?
Its only in nigeria, They don't give employment to nigerians in malaysia and their police and immigration always harass us even with our passport at hand, even their citizens maltreats nigerians in the disdainful and haughty manner u can possibly think of but when they come over here we will honour them with titles... I weep for my cou3
These mallams are @ it again. This is the same rubbish the Sardauna of Sokoto supported: paying foreign nationals huge salaries to work in the north rather than give the job to a southerner for a fraction of that pay. Stupidity @ its best
9jadeltapikin... I dnt understand y a malaysian dnt Wƺ Ђåvε̲ naijas who can do the job ni, »W̶̲̥̅̊н̣̣̣̝̇̇̇@̤̥̣̈̊̇†̥̣̣̣̇̇̇ Ȋ̊§ wrong with all this our government self hmmmmm na wah Ooº°˚˚°ºoo
Thank you sir/ma
This is great and long overdue. Countries such as the Qatar, Dubai, Saudi Arabia have been using foreigner to head their public institutions ie Emirates Airline, Abu Dhabi university etc and besides it will be a cheaper than going to school in Malaysia.
Sometimes we overate ourselves when we should cry for help when needed. Good One Governor So and So!
Ajetunmobi sherif... ki lan so, ki lo so?? I suspect your friend is not educated because if he was, he would have read the visa requirements clearly stating the need for a hotel reservation as part of visa requirements. This is a common requirement by most countries...maybe your friend should go and register at NorthWest University kano!!
Frankly I dnt support it at all,r they tryin 2 tell us nobody is quite qualitied in nig 2 do de job wit all de professors we hv here?
As 4 boko harem findin him I doubt it cos he is a muslim himself
why on earth would a malaysian be honoured with such a post in nigeria when there so many over qualified nigerian capable of handling that position. It's not even a matter of him doing it well. Such a thing can never happen in malalysia to say the list.
Lol! You really gave it to him. Nansense. Even had the guts to say... This useless country.. Calling him a mumu will be a slap on the face of the mumu nation citizens. ezekiel zeevin.
Its only in Nigeria deluded ideas are made to work.so there are no better nigerians for the role?That kano state governor's ideas are only good enough for cattle rearing.mscheeew
Should it have being a hausa man? Which normal person will want to work in Kano? How many profs are hausas? Abeg jor!!
Linda u may just be a racist. Nigerians love to travel all around the world but when other people come here you're not happy except they are beggars. The other day you said a ghanaian is not one to talk...haughty words but you expect them to treat our people there like kings abi? We are intelligent people and have been given several chances in other lands...the likes of Emmanuel Onunwor that were honoured abroad but showed their true colours as true Nigerians. We will later turn around to claim succesful people who were born and bred abroad and missed corruption as a way of life. All I'm saying is this country is not perfect and if someone comes here to do honest work allow them, just as God urged the israelites to remember they were foreigners in Egypt and should treat foreigners well, please let us do the same
@Ajetunmobi y wont they deport him? he wan sleep for gutter ni? good for him. u ma no shame u dey put ur picture and name come dey write jabajantis.
impresse ke....... we have how many professors in nija..... so many people are looking for jobs yet he carried the available one to a foreigner. aint they tayad of bn ruled by foreigner nonsense
I tire for Hausa dem inferiority complex..already sold this our country out to foreigners..no of educated 9jas @home and abroad that should have been offered this position!!..anyway what sane Southerner wants to work in the North??
Most of their children are schooling over there and other Asian countires after all , so it makes sense....
This is d right thing to do!Nigerians r too corrupt to manage anything! Look at d irony,as Jonathan is firing Prof Nnaji as energy minister,kano state is appointing a Malaysian to run their new school! Very smart idea!
Nigeri and Malaysia has a long term relationship,infact Malaysia got most of there resources from Nigeria
Why are people up in arms about this. If he is the most qualified of all applicants, why not!! Do Nigerians not get good jobs in other countries, so, what is the beef about.
Ha.
Warri Girl
this is a SAD STORY....
I don't understand why Nigerians are complaining that Malaysians are treating Nigerians bad in Malaysia when it is Nigerians themselves who are causing so much trouble with crime, drugs trafficking and 419. You can hardly expect Malaysia to fold its hands while foreigners about the country's hospitality. In any case, there is nothing wrong in appointing a Malaysian or indeed any other foreigner to a top job in Nigeria- it may help the country move forward
Stop all that utopian crap!!..all develop countries hire within FIRST!!..and only resort to outside help if in shortage which makes perfect sense!!..how can you put the future and security of ur country in the hands of foreigners!!..look@the mess 9ja is..run by foreigners..brought in by useless politicians..how can we ever develop??
Who born you to get job over Yankee or British born in the current climate!!..this is not racism..how do you think the Asians got to where they are today??..learn from the best and see them off!!
iberibe bu oria
A malaysian skul will never make a nigerian their vc no matter how qualified he is...it jst doesn't make sense...call it nepatism if u must bt u sud always give piority to ur pple in cases like dis...I'm sure their r other nigerian profs jst as qualified as him
Tosin
Lie! If u are not sure go constult google. Apart from VC lots of nigerians are employeed as lecturers too. In fact I study online(university of liverpool) there a nigerian lecturer, and no he doesn't live in UK, he lives and work in naija same work as online-lecturer. There's nothing bad in offer a foreigner VC besides what have the Naija's done. This is a new idea let's how it goes *floetry in motion*
Yes, it will work. A university should be able to attract the best brains from all parts of the world. The reason that our universities are failing is because they now have ethnic war-lords and biggots as Vice-Chancellors. The whole university system is now being run like an enlarged PDP. We know how Universities in Malaysia have surpassed those in Nigeria in recent times. I am sure that's what informed this choice. Congrats to Kano state government. I always knew that Governor Kwankwaso is one of the most tranformational governors in our land. I can predict that in a few year's time, the North-west University will be one of the best rated Universities in this country
Malaysian schools re 100% better dan wat we hv in naija... So no big deal appointn a foriegner..
hmm!
#reserve my comment#
Does underatn malaysia shud pls check der sch in world ranking nd den search nigeria. Tnks
Of a truth, who among the over qualified Ngns living abroad will take up this kind of position in Kano of all states, except if he doesn't value his life. However, if a foreigner who is not corrupt, much qualified and not afraid to live in Kano despite the insecurities decide to take up the job, why not let him? Perhaps, it is time to start hiring foreigners who are not corrupt to be ministers sef as long as they can move the country forward mtcheww. May God deliver Nigeria.
KMT!yet another unnecessary move from d northern leaders...this people have no vision what so ever, their mates #fashola, are busy demolishing and building infrastructures, these ones are here employing foreigners to be VC's...Kano youths dat find it had to speak english sef, u don carry language barrier join. I'm so angry i want to cry...power don miss road for sure!
This is a best move by the governor, its not about finding a a"qualified" kano indigene or Nigerian to be the VC but rather can he be at par with the progressive thought of the gov? Cos I am 110% sure that NW university is going to be the best state uni in d country n compete with most of other earlier generation uni. So far 500 indigenes of kano who have first class or 2:1 had been offered schlarship by d state govt to study abroad in diff fields with automatic employment as lecturers when dey comebck. Even b4 take off, the permanent site of d uni is now 90% to completion and is bigger in structure dan many fed uni.NW University is programme to b a specialised inst. Pls dnt comment ignorantly,so far in kano there are two universities with more than 300 indegenous profs, a reminder prof Bello salim former reg JAMB, prof Munzali Jibrin former Exec Sec NUC are indegenes and had applied and are capable but d malaysian was brought in cos NW university is designed to be a world class uni!
@ Linda why wont it work? If he knows the job. The question should be, Are there no credible Nigerians to take that position?
I believe this is just a compensation in a small way to malaysians. Nigerians don spoil their names.... Remember Bidemi Bakare? Google him if you dont know him..well he is dead now though....thats just one of the numerous boys spoiling their name. If this happens, there will be unity between both countries and such citizens well treated too!
Scammers are making millions of dollars there so why wont they maltreat you! IF he deserves, give it to him and he will try to make you BAD name good in his country! Make una let us hear word and no dey para unneccesary para jor
@Ajetunmobi: U sure say ur paddy wey go no be yahoo boy? Cus you also look somehow like one with ur stained hair, gold chain! Thats what most boys do when they see small change! We all know that unless we want to deny
Naija una too much, coffee wey i dey drink hia comot my nose as i read this

The visa rules are clear! If u dnt meet d rule u wud b refused entry simple... If ur friend was allowed entry wt no accomodatn plans where wud he stay? Secondly wat is wrong wt a malaysian becomin vc? I live in d Uk and nigerians have taken alot of positns that british
one thing i can recommend about kwankwaso is he recommends education very well,which is a very good thing, atleast u chop money, u also do sumtin to d society. more grease to ur elbow
A commendable act by the governor if the Malaysian is well versed in University Administration. One would like to think that he'll bring his wealth of experience of a higher place to bear here so the impact can only but be positive. My fear though is that the guy will most certainly be confronted by the "Nigerian factor" and thus not likely to succeed unless he has a very thick skin...
Hope the boko haram boys would not boomb the Malaysian guy since western education is forbided lols
a perfect idea....kudos jor
Lmfao...... so a Malay VC in Nigeria now abi? issorai..
FYI an average masters degree level educated Malaysian see the rest as BODOH (Stupid) and the professors are known for bogus degrees... lets hope this one works o.. cos at the end of the day, it's not my cuppa!
but on a serious note... am upset sha.. cos a Nigerian will be the least to get an employment of this magnitude in his country even if the Nigerian went to Cambridge, he cant even get a job in the bloody 7eleven!!!!0_______0
All these young nigerians in the diaspora. Smh . Time wil teach you all. . . No need to explain. You'll all grow out of ur comments. I'm not suprised at the north. Things like this hav been happenin since the 80s- bringin unqualified asian people wit fake certs to work 4 dem. Nigeria is a mumbo jumbo of diff people wit diff ideals forced to survive to together. We are not progressin becos some people just dont hav a culture of greatness. They are just too comfortable. One more thing. . . If u've neva lived in all 3 regions of dis country nd are not of a certain age, and hav not run a business or an establishment in ur lifetime, you should be quiet at times. Patience is wisdom. That way you learn and grow
