ChasteGhuy: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 Cheers |
ChasteGhuy: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. Cheers |
ChasteGhuy: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 . Cheers |
makyegh: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. Cheers |
maasoap:It's unfortunate you feel this way. Cheers |
ChasteGhuy: ![]() 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 Cheers |
ChasteGhuy: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 Cheers |
olarid01: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 |
ChasteGhuy: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 Cheers |
Evercurious: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 Cheers |
Sterope: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 |
olarid01:He sent a message.. no! His action said no Think on that Cheers |
olarid01: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 |
olarid01:I think I addressed a similar counter from another member already. Again I ask... When doing the right thing does time matter as long as the goal is achieved? At the end of the day history will never say he was part of the corrupt government. I remember pre politics Keyamo, he was a staunch government critic and human rights activist.. today we all know his moral compass is long gone. Oshimola pre politics era was an NLC stallwart ... He entered politics and alas went the way of Keyamo. It pays to know thy self and always act in the right way His criticisms are hurtng them more Cheers |
The have they checked her boy friend's house crew are on their way ![]() |
dapperman:Let me ask you dear friend If you hear a lady screaming rape and as is common in Nigeria most guys stand and don't interfer saying inane things like "you sure whether she don chop the guy money tire" then being human this makes you laugh along and agree then you walk away half way down the street the decency in you and moral compass makes you turn around and go back then interfere and rescue the said lady Does this make you any less of a hero for standing for something? Now image the logic when a critic says after all he waka comot like us na later he go save the girl... Does that even matter? What matters is you took the right step eventually.. Time doesn't matter when doing the right thing , hence the saying better late than never. Cheers |

Minjim:Brooo Remember he was to be an adviser in a ministry of over 1000 employees not the minister. These people have been there for 20 years plus, they are used to doing things a particular way.. If he was offered the minister portfolio then he can stay because then can he make a change not as an adviser Cheers |
Onlyonebuhari:Your point is sound but fails to take into consideration the reality like I stated above A ministry is an institution not an SME , an institution of over 1000 employees whom have all been there before him for decades and are used to doing things a particular way. Remember he isn't the minister he was to be an adviser . If they were offering him the minister portfolio he won't resign as then he can make a change Cheers |
Minjim:Assumptions? I have been interacting with various Ministries parastals and agencies bro I know how they work in and out He did the best thing |
boxypane:Don't ever quote me with such crude talk. If you cannot speak like someone eductated then miss me with such nonsense You can't start a counter comment with an insult! Is this kindergarten? |
Minjim:You need to see the bigger picture What can one man do in a ministry run by caucuses of corrupt politicians? It's good to be realistic! Life isn't a Hollywood movies where one good man suddenly makes a whole nation decide to start living each other etc They tried to use an appointment to silence him, it's clear his criticisms hurts more Read between the lines and think in broader terms Cheers |
Emilycp:Did you read the comments or Google search the image and realize she is a married officer? This blogger made a fake story and you went dropping your number ? |
I respect a man of honor who stands by his convictions This man has put to Shame the narative that goes "if you can't beat them join them" We need more people like this in Nigeria Case in point : Oshiomole, Keyamo, et al You either stand for something, or fall for everything in life Cheers Edited For those who don't understand They are trying to silence him with an appointment where he will get big salary and bonuses and do nothing till his focus shifts to protecting his wealth hence he becomes like them Again case Keyamo , Oshiomole et Al Life isn't a Hollywood movie where one man refuses to bow and suddenly the whole nation starts singing and dancing change and revolution. It's more complex than that This man isn't a Mary Sue! What can one man do in a ministry where from the administration , to accounts , to operations, to management are all corrupt and caucuses of thieves who only care about looting ? If the government was sincere and not just intent on silencing his criticisms they should have appointed him Minister then he can effect change...an adviser can do nothing but earn fat checks and bonuses Be realistic he didn't he best thing Cheers |

rattlesnake:This garbage should not be sold more than 10k Everything about it from screen to battery are all low quality with marketing buzz words to make this trash look like it's quality Their so called 5000mha batter can't be compared to 2000mha battery of a quality brand like Apple, Samsung, Nokia, HTC, Xperia etc Even Xaomi is way better Cheers |
Mckandre:Exactly and the device won't be water resister they just added that for aesthetics Tecno and infinix and very substandard brands |
