Please nairalanders, I sent an email to a prominent politician in my state. Though he use to be a close family friend thus knows me so well, I still stated my personal profile, qualifications and credentials.

Then I got this reply:

"Who you work for is more important than what you do!"

I don't get it! What is he really implying and what am I supposed to do at this juncture?

Pals, your views will go a long way from here, thanks.

I don't get it too.

Then work for him simple

It means that loyalty is very much important!

Wait let me consult the Oracle for you

Just reply him dat u are at his service let him just role out ur job prescrition. Shikenah

Awesome statement

I smell shadow recruitment. He I probably tell you in idioms, that you are to fear who send you errand more, than the errand you are being sent.#MyThoughtsThough

Tell him you don't understand the mail.It's better to know what you are in for than assuming things so as to avoid stories that tickles the bombom.
Don't come back here and create threads like "5million or commit murder"

He's literally referring to commitment being a vital element than your duty in any establishment...

You should reply him, stating your motions explaining to him how you'd be committed to him and how you'd obey him and again how desperate you need the job..

Goodluck brov!

it means should come and work for him..............................and earn a better pay than ur mates with the same qualification..
