Evercurious:As a technical adviser ( to a minister of state) how much influence can he wield? You're just being emotional. |

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. livebyday: 1 Like |

Some people are just hypocrites They abuse and abuse, complain and complain Now they are given the chance to make the changes they are clamoring for and he is resigning. Mtchewwwww Just like those teaching other people what to do. Put them in hot seat and see how they will fumble. |

I am disappointed he resigned!! He is not principled not because he received an appointment from a Govt he criticized but because he bowed to pressure because of critcisms from people..That he resigned would not change people's perceptions..I think we should not only be critics but ones with solution...Here was a man that has criticized the operation of Nigeria's budgeting system and may be the Govt thought he could be of help hence his appointment!! He did well by accepting the appointment..otherwise, why do we criticize if we have no better idea? 2 Likes 1 Share |

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 |

Seun’s resignation as Technical adviser is bad news for Nigeria not because he’s the only one available to do the job but because we have allowed stupid and petty online politics to overshadow our concern for the country we all ‘love’. Sad. No one can deny Seun’s brilliance and capability. He underwent training as prestigious institutions around the world and his BudgIT NGO is known for demanding accountability and transparency from those in power. Now that he got a chance to work with the government to rid our... Budget process of all encumbrances that bedevils the process, he’s being hounded by rapacious sycophants who will rather rule in hell than serve in heaven. Government job is not the entitlement of any political party and its supporters....it is a chance to serve Nigeria. Every capable Nigerian is a stakeholder. But I’m not surprised. Many who profess love for Nigeria do not love this country. For them,the concept of party over country does not exist. They will sacrifice competence on the alter of petty politics that has continued to drag us back. If an APC or PDP led govt at any level finds a capable Nigerian that can bring prosperity many Nigerians yearn for, PRAY, he should be appointed and given a chance. The country benefits in the long run. We must not give in to political jobbers who think it is their birth right. Nigeria and Nigerians have suffered enough. Politics will go on on social media and we cannot put a stop to that BUT we must end this disastrous bickering and pull-down-syndrome certain characters display when a Nigerian other than APC members are given a chance to serve Nigeria. Seun will move on just like Nigeria must move on but holding government to accountability and transparency MUST continue. I do hope another capable person will be appointed regardless of political persuasion. We need our best and if you find them in “SDP”, appoint them. End. |

. ChasteGhuy:It is a good lesson, one can air his opinion without insulting people. In his case he went too far. There is no way he will be trusted if he insisted on staying on. Lesson is that we should be more matured in our approach. Certain things are important, politics or no politics |

Please applaud Seun for providing a dignified closure to what looked like a misadventure of futuristic proportions, through resignation. I have wondered how he would navigate the oddity of drinking from the same river he openly defecated into for years yemex04: |

livebyday: 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. |

Re: Seun Onigbinde Resignation: Oby Ezekwesil, Banky W, Others React by Nobody: 4:28pm On Sep 16, 2019 |
my people have a saying... 1)the meat that an individual does not eat he never uses his mouth to divide it. 2) whether or not to climb a tree is decided while still on the floor. I wouldn't say Seun did well or he did bad.. each with his own principles. but my own choice would have to also not accept the position. reasons are 1) next years budget have been planned in advance given him just 2 years to partake in a govt which will be remembered as perhaps the worst in Nigerian history 2) He already has a voice in the nation which would have to silenced if he chooses to work for the same govt he made a name criticizing. 3) the position is not one of much influence his job would have been basically advisory which would make it worse seeing that whatever policies are taken would have his name attached to it as we see him as our man there. There was no way it would have ended well for him if he had stayed |

yazga: My brother, while I understand your points perfectly..But critisms don't make any positive change if they are without practicable solutions..If you must criticize, tell them or show them how to do it better..and there's an opportunity to effect the change, take it!! if you truly mean well..otherwise it's better not to criticize at all.. |

Stillthebest:I respectfully disagree because it is better not to join those evil people than to think you can find your way round them and get yourself hurt in the process. We all know how intelligent the likes of Fashola and Ben Akabueze are, but these men have not been able to perform to their full potentials because of the hawks running the affairs of this country. Those evil and greedy people wants the status quo to be and are ever ready to tarnish the image of whoever dares challenge them. To answer your first question, the country will be left for these evil men till we the youths rise above ethnic, religious and tribal sentiments. |

Oby is afraid to fail, Onigbinde is afraid to fail. It is very easy for spectators to criticise the players on the pitch and score incredible goals with powerpoint slides.

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. livebyday: 1 Like 1 Share |
