You are actually derailing the thread with your hypocritical and annoying distractions.

The report feature is there for a reason, use it or email the mods instead derailing the thread with the same rubbish.
Done?

Don't start what you can't finish. Tell her there is no vacancy, or the available slots have been given out. You're a grown ass adult. Be creative.
@ blackjack21 I believe you are an adult mentally yeah? Read the messaged I quoted very slowly at least four times so it sinks in and do the needful.

That is the Best comment here

You have not answered my question. What are the duties of special/technical advisers?

Or let me paraphrase, what should be the ideal roles of special/technical adviser?
There you go again reaching for the unattainable in context of the applicable scenario.

In the corporate setting that is called being distracted.
The context we speak of here is what is the reality ...which is that in Nigeria the role of special adviser is merely ceremonial hence your inability to name even one since Independence who left a mark .

Let's not waste time speaking of the idealistic and focus on the reality in terms of the choice this gentleman made which when viewed objectively was a direct decision.

If tomorrow the government feels they need him to really make an impact then they should offer him the minister portfolio which obviously they won't because like everything in Nigeria there is not intent to do the right thing .

Looting of funds is the status quo.

That is the summary of it all. If the government wants to do the right thing sincerely they know what to do and smart people know. This hence why alot if them stay away from governance ..

There are alit of very intelligent elite in Nigeria whom I have had the privilege of interacting with I mean heavy weights whom have dire t access to the likes of tinubu , obj and even buhari.
Earlier when I didnt know better I would ask them why they don't run for office to help change things .. and the answer was always similar " this government isn't sincere about changing things and I cannot allow my name to be attached to such , in future if things change and they are ready they know where to find me.

Several years later I finally understood ...

I tire of trying to explain the same thing in so many ways hence I may not continue this as I am exhausted and have something to work on, so if I don't respond further do not be offended, I am just physically exhausted.

Enjoy the rest of your day

Advisers can't change anything?

Please, educate me: what's the role of an adviser?
In Nigeria which advisers since Independence has changed one thing ?

Name one, I will be waiting .... Take your time and search

This is Nigeria .. not a developed country , this is Nigeria where corrupt leaders have been in power since military era and the people have imbibed corruption as a norm.

Imagine a Nigeria where someone like Seun Onigbinde accepts such appointment and held his head up high in spite of overwhelming opposing voices, he remains undaunted and brings to table exactly the better changes he once advocated for.

Talk is cheap.

If I were him, I wouldn't test the depth of a river with both feet.
Bro be realistic.

How many memorable advisers are there in history world wide? None only presidents or vise presidents , ministers, Chancellors, Prime ministers , etc

Because advisers can't change anything in reality, the position is merely poetic at best .

If this was an offer to be the minister then we can talk .

Yours must a reflection of the extent of your knowledge and experience. Limited.

If you are a business owner or head of Govt, you would know that recruiting those who have displayed a capacity for understanding your challenges are your best prospects.
You don't engage them just to "shut them up with big salaries".

That's so low.
There is a saying that goes :
There is the way things are and there is the ay things should be, you only neglect the way things are at your own peril .

You speak about the way things should be, not the way things are.

Be realistic.

Nigeria will be great again when more people speak up and do the right thing

Moments of weakness's can be forgiven if they at the end do the right thing

It is already in history that he accepted the appointment and went ahead to delete most of his posts on Twitter that was against the government only for him to later resign before even commencing duty.
But history will count him amongst those who said no by turning down. Appointments..

Walk with me down imagination.. imagine a Nigeria whee Oshiomole refused to ever accept political backing to run for governor and was still NLC chairman fighting for minimum wages .. trust me by now government would have been paying N30,000

Or imagine is Keyamo never entered politics as was always speaking out ? When Sowore called for protests Keyamo would have backed him

Do you know how many appointments the late grandmaster Chief Gani Fawehienmi turned down?

Do research bro history remembers sacrifice

Honestly, he sent no positive message. What his actions shows is that he has no direction, that he's nothing but a confused critic.
He would've sent that message loud and clear if he didn't accepted the appointment in d first place.

He accepted the appointment and also proceed to delete his previous tweets, what do you say to that?
but at the end of the day he tribes it down

Remember no even ever recalls who comes in second in a competition only the winner

He did the right thing eventually and history won't say he deleted accounts or wasted two days to decide but that he turned it down

Cheers

Wonderful...

So the young man suddenly realised he needs to "read between lines and think in broader terms" after accepting the appointment?
Cut him some slack

At least he eventually did the right thing which is my point

How many of us can do same? I won't be bold enough to declare that I can either

THEN HE SHOULD HAVE GONE IN, BE 'ENTICED' AND STILL STOOD HIS GROUNDS ON THE NEEDED CHANGE AND RESIGN IF HINDERED..THEN II BE SURE THAT HE IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AS YOU CLAIM.

DON'T YOU THINK SO?
Come on,we both no that won't happen

It's easier to resist the temptation than to indulge and declare you will stand against it eventually

Oshiomole was a NLC president. NLC doesn't stand for the masses. It has never stood for the masses and it will never stand for the masses.

Keyamo hasn't been a critic of this government prior to his public declaration, please correct me if I am wrong.
Oshiomole fought for labor against the OBJ and earlier government


Research on Keyamos past activities and activism
Recall?

I mentioned pre appointments seems you missed that

If I may ask, what go did his acceptance and resignation achieved?

No, time is very crucial while doing the RIGHT thing. I'll leave it at that.
You left out the part where I said as long as the goal is achieved

Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery

JFK abolished segregation

Before and In-between these two we had several leaders but at the end of the day these two did the right thing

Cheers
