“Omale OjBest footwear, an igala shoe maker taken the shoe measurement of Nigeria Vice President, Prof Yemi Osibanjo,

The organizer of who’s who and Oma Igala night and ICDA should take note, award shouldn’t be base on who can afford a particular table or Directors alone, the best taxi driver, the best carpenter in Igala land and the best lecturers, Teachers etc can also be accord that honor,

Ours is generation where people graduate into politics without thinking of what to do next….

This young man deserves celebration and recognition, his own business took him to Vice President directly and they are now talking as a friend.

Yes, First Class graduate can be a shoe maker
We are growing at over 3 million per annum, while government can’t produce 300 thousand job per annum, we are having College of education, Universities , Polytechnic and school of nurses graduating students every years, we must think out of the box.”
