Nigerians have taken to Twitter to blast and condemn Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker of the House of Representatives for enrolling for a leadership course at Harvard University, an Ivy league school in the Unites States.
Gbajabiamila was dragged on social media after announcing he will be studying at Harvard University whilst public universities in Nigeria have been on strike since February, 2022.

Here are some of the replies/backlash from Twitter
Going to school in Nigeria is a course on its own.

That Femi Gbajabiamila’s tweet is still pissing me off. So insensitive and tone deaf. Our leaders are truly wicked people.

If Harvard too was on strike would he be in school?
ASUU is not on strike in Harvard so Femi Gbajabiamila can attend classes and even snap picture.

Femi Gbajabiamila just exhibited extreme selfishness and shithousery. This is difficult to believe. Our kids have been at home for 6months and you do photo ops? Shame on you! Tueh! 🤮 pic.twitter.com/r4EnOY16kc

ASUU has been on strike since February but Nigeria’s no. 3 man, Femi Gbajabiamila is doing a leadership course abroad and now splashing the pictures on social media. The audacity and tone-deafness.

ASUU is on strike, but Here is your Honorable Speaker House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila receiving lectures at Havard University.

Congratulations Nigerians pic.twitter.com/r4UktNHxR0
@Harvard @Kennedy_School please expel Femi Gbajabiamila from your school. He is the speaker Fed. House of Representatives of Nigeria & Nigerian schools are on strike for 6 months due to lack of funding. Such irresponsible leaders shouldn't be allowed in your highly rated school. https://t.co/ok42yYtfkL

Femi Gbajabiamila had the insentience to post his enrollment into Harvard while varieties under ASUU are on strike because during elections students don't vote en mass.

The joke is on the young people.
May Nigeria remain #Obidient for live – democratically aware
Femi Gbajabiamila resume class at Harvard University amid #ASUU strike and you planning to vote APC again …

Femi Gbajabiamila is in Harvard University attending a leadership training while Nigeria Universities are on strike for over 5 months. Nigeria politicians are absolutely insensitive and useless. People are wicked but Nigerian politicians are "wickedest".#BBCAfricaEye #Machala pic.twitter.com/i4exXW1FLN

You will be thinking Femi Gbajabiamila, a serving National Assembly speaker would delete the tweet celebrating his admission into Harvard

But as usual, them no send una papa. We can’t do nothing !! We only rant on twitter & go back to vote these men into offices
It’s our fault
Are you not ashame Femi Gbajabiamila?
— GIDEON BENSON (@gideonbenson_) July 27, 2022
Thousands of Nigerian students are at home for five months now because of the ongoing strike. Yet this is you enjoying the wealth of another man's land.
It's time consulate deny political office holders like you entry to their countries.
It’s very insensitive of Femi Gbajabiamila to post picture of him in Harvard University while protest is ongoing in Nigeria about Education.
— Adeyemi “Urban” Oba (@AdeyemiUrban) July 27, 2022
So all his handler and aides didn’t see anything wrong in that? 💁♂️🤦♂️
