MC Oluomo invited as special guest in UNILAG event, Nigerians react
Social media was recently set on frenzy after a poster image of a University of Lagos (UNILAG) event surfaced, and had Lagos state chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Musiliu Adesanya aka MC Oluomo, as one of the special guest of the day.
Nigerians on micro blogging platform, Twitter, immediately expressed their outrage and complete dissatisfaction at the decision of the organizers to have the individual speaking to a gathering of young and intellectual minds of the university. This according some of them, was because the NURTW is notoriously known to harbor thugs and street urchins, that all answer to MC Oluomo, particularly in Lagos. However, a close look at the poster image showed that the individual was only invited as a guest speaker, but this did not stop internet users from expressing their reservations.
