Leadership

Most Nigerians think that one of our major national problems is leadership and they think that only political leaders are in leadership and they blame them for the poor leadership of the country. I am not in doubt that we have leadership problem as a nation, but I want to encourage EVERYONE TO BE A GOOD LEADER at all times and everywhere we find ourselves- at   school, home, bus stop, office and so on.

Why we should become good leaders

This is necessary because I believe that the wrong leadership at the top started from the bottom and grew to the top. This wrong leadership has sent us in the wrong direction that we do not want to go but we find ourselves going in it. This is the reason we complain about our leaders and leadership. It should be noted that our leaders are the products of our society.

If we try to trace the origin of our leadership problem, it goes back to the colonial days when colonial masters viewed leadership as power to oppress the people. This was incorporated into our lives, educational system and tradition. But leadership is supposed to be service provided with good conscience. This is the type of leadership in other developed nations where their leaders are serving their people for the betterment of their society. Therefore, if we see ourselves as leaders that is to serve others with good conscience, humility and patience, we will be providing the right leadership at all times everywhere.

Need for change

This I believe will steer our nation back to the right direction that will provide the right mentorship for our youths, revive our values and create the hope for the future. Therefore, if you are reading this blog and you need good leadership as I do, there is the need for all of us to stop complaining, stop blaming anyone, look inwards and start providing the right leaders at all time and at every opportunity that we may have.  We will all be shocked how fast we can get back to good leadership and start moving in the right developmental direction. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE.

Thank you very much.
