  36. This should, if not will,encourage all those alamagiris to go to school and show to those boko ha'rams that western education is good.
    However, i hope his education wasn't at the expense of others as it is the common practice in the north?

  38. stupid Nigerians,they are happy dat a Nigerian is chairman of commonwealth youth council,how does it affect the development of the African youth?,i thought we say we are free from colonization,why are we still a member of the commonwealth,which is headed by the queen just like during the colonial days.

  39. It's a lie! I have never seen a mallo nfashi achieve a thingy...when other Nigerians are bringing laurels to their mother land in every facet of life: sports, education, music, fashion etc. the likes of Achebe, Soyinka, okocha, kanu, Dbanj etc this mallams are killing innocent nurses that has come to vaccinate them kwo? If only they can add their bit Nigeria will be better, this guy is a one in a million.

  40. it is a good thing for us to have someone at the top there, but believe me our leaders are grooming the next president that will come kill our economy. to me i fill this is just building up a profile to be accepted in the intrnational community before he comes to contest (RIG) elections back home.

  44. Commonwealth is Long dead, it's of no benefit to Nigeria and all the african members. Since GB took away the visa weaver for all the african members of what benefit or relevance is the Queen of England today. Mallam Adamu pls try and educate fellow mallam on the importance of going to school and you lot should speak out and condem the killings by your fellow brother mudering people who want to study. I find it so annoying that the few of you mallam that can read are keeping mute on boko haram...

  52. Only 66 comments. If it is about nudity, wizkid, Davido and his low life gang, massive exposure of wealth, rubbish talk from Akon, misbehavior of all types you will have 250 -400 comments in one hour. We are a sick generation.

  58. Brilliant chap. Nigerian youth in particular, please note that nothing succeeds like success and conversely, nothing fails like failure. It is your choice. But for our young Chairman, it is my prayer that as you have brought honour to your fatherland, honour beyond measures, will take permanent tenancy in you and all that concerns you.
