Mr. Olusesgun Adeniyi: Actions speak Louder than WordsOluwatosin Otulana

Nowadays, it is quite admonishing to read Nigerian newspapers or articles again except for Saharareporters and Nigerian Village Square blogs. There is hardly a day without a senseless and disconnected Nigerian public office holder attribute or back his/her insanity with laughable excuses. Please be the judge, is it not harebrained when someone tells you that America has to learn from Nigerian’s voting system? Or incomprehensible why a government committed to transparency and anti-corruption campaigns still have the world’s undisputed fraudulent and immoderately desirous being as its nation’s chief custodian of law? Or unexplainable and heartsick of how a whopping 40 billion naira satellite would stop functioning only after 18 months of launch? The list is endless.
To one’s utmost unbelief, a substantial of them are people who are so learned and chanced to have seen h...Read the full article.

i personally used to hold mr adeniyi in high esteem until he decided to crossover to the "other side" and especially since he started speaking "their" language. i blv there is sumtin in this country which makes otherwise reasonable and decent people justify the unjustifiable once they become part of government. it is not only disheartening but distressful when sum1 like mr adeniyi who should by all standards be a role model, an agent of generational change begins to act and speak irrationally. a word for mr adeniyi " their way is not your way", the earlier you admit that you erred and seek penance we shall all say " go our son & sin no more". in anycase i still blv there is hope for this country.

it is not exactly an offence but he should just realise that by the time he's done in govt. service whatever respect he had before now would have been lost. you dont dine with the devil (People Destroying People) and think that you will come out smelling of roses.

My take is as follows:

1. Whoever that expects Mr Adeniyi to resign has no idea whatsoever how lucrative, rewarding, powerful and sweet holding public office in Nigeria is. I am sure that Mr Adeniyi himself had no idea until he joined "them".

2. Having tasted it, Mr. Adeniyi will NEVER resign.

3. Once you joined "them", you've joined "them". So Mr. Adeniyi is not and will never be bothered about what u think or write about him.

4. The journey to Abuja is always on a one-way ticket. Once in Abuja, you NEVER go back. Mr. Adeniyi has come to Abuja and will therefore remain in Abuja. If this ship sinks, he joins the next one.

5. Once you are a member of the Abuja caucus, you need not bother about reputation. There is no such thing as reputation in Abuja.


Thank you. And thank u very much indeed...

Mr Adeniyi has eaten the forbiding apple freely given to selected few in Abuja, how then will anyone ask him to stop eating these apples. The colour of the apples is so green that it keeps attracting Mr Adeniyi.

His people in his village will die than let their son whose happens to be the only voice we hear when that man in aso rock opens his man resign. However one day the likes of Adeniyi's of the world will eat apples and Karma will befall them. Nigerians must wake up.:rolleyes::biggrin::wink::)

This was a well written piece that is looking for action from Olusegun Adeniyi, Special Communications Adviser to the President. A lot of people are unhappy with the message coming out of Abuja via Segun's office which is what Otulana is echoing. Leadership is about communicating a story but you need a real leader in order to be effective in your role is probably the missing link.
