Oshiomhole nabs Edo teacher who cannot read properly [VIDEO]
Edo Governor, Adams Oshiomhole yesterday
nabbed a teacher Mrs. Augusta Odemwigwe who could not read properly.
Mrs Odemwigwe was asked to read an affidavit
she swore to declare her age but to the amusement of all, she stuttered
continuously until the governor helped in reading it for her.
The teacher when asked to repeat a sentence
she didn’t read well answered “make I start am again”.
Oshiomhole, stunned by the low level of
intellect displayed by Odemwigwe, who has spent 20 years in the profession,
read the sworn affidavit and wondered if she could write same on the board.
Mrs Odemwigwe has spent over 20 years in the
teaching profession and presently teaches in Asalogun Primary School in Ikpoba
Okha Local Government Area of Edo state.
The governor discovered this during an exercise to
screen over a thousand teachers involved in fraud. The teachers are accused of
falsifying their age to get into service.Rihanna look-alike flies to South Africa for Orezi’s Rihanna video shoot

The search finally paid off when a ‘Rihanna’

poor and irresponsible leaders.
