Caracta: Interesting...I must say.

@the debaters, kindly suggest ways in which we can know a leader is not and cannot be corrupt. Furthermore, I'll like this topic to be linked to the corruption in the educational sector.

Caracta: @Emmyk, what do you think defines a leader? If you were the leader of a group and all the other members were involved in corruption, thereby endangering your life and that of your family, how would you maintain your stand and still work effectively with them?

Prince Justice:
[i]Still waiting for that definition of a Leader[/i]

Our leaders didn't force their way into positions, the followers (who know them) put them there

jay bee: @UNN

It wouldn't be out of place to conclude that one of the major causes of corruption in Nigeria is poverty. Nigeria is a country rich in natural resources and thus have benefited from the economic gains that such brings since independence. We can confidently conclude that the high poverty index is as a direct result of constant bleeding of the nations wealth by the so called leaders.

How do you expect us to change course if we eliminate corruption among the followers in this instance?

Prince Justice:
You mean linking in terms of the answer you seek (directly) or in terms of the topic itself

Emmyk: A leader makes sacrifices. He is humble. Knows the act of relation. And he leads by example.

All members of my group being corrupt? I will put all my abilities to persuade them, letting them know reasons why we need to be selfless in our services. If that does not work, If I lose my life, my work lives on.It is a legacy.
Leadership is all about sacrifices.

Caracta:
That means, you think it's appropriate for a "good" leader to die because there are corrupt ones who are too stubborn to change their ways. Now look at it this way, if every "good" leader was killed by the corrupt ones, that means in the long run, only corrupt leaders would remain. Right?

Not at all, with eloquent and persuasive use of words, you could change these people.

Even Jesus had to make such sarcrifice. This is not to say Jesus lacked Eloquency or was not charismatic enough.


But, I think these people will determine your decision.

jay bee: @ KSU

1)It's true that good leaders with good vision and strategy can effect change even when it seems impossible. As the president of Nigeria, how would you have been able to solve NEPA problem considering the corruption engulfed within that parastatal is evident at every hierarchal level of that department.


2) Corruption is only prevalent if there is an enabling environment. Nigeria as an environment is a democracy meaning the leader is bounded by the constitution. How do you think getting rid of a corrupt leader but not cleansing a corrupt system will help get us to the promise land

boay: Audience

You may ask your questions.

Please let your questions be direct and specific

Caracta: @promise child, a man was elected into a public office by his group of friends who fought tooth and nail to have him in power. He was doing everything right and wouldn't tolerate corruption. After few months, the people that voted and placed him in that position wanted him to award a project to them. He knew they wouldn't execute the project well, so he declined. Then this people sought to use his family against him, implicate him, cook up stories and sell to the press, paint him black, etc.

If you were the man, how would you handle this pressure, safeguard your family, show to your followers that the stories were cooked up, avoid impeachment and still remain string?

Caracta: @chynazom, do you blame the lady for sleeping with her lecturer out of fear and pressure too? In this case, the lady is the follower and the lecturer is the leader?

boay: Judges,

Please start compiling the result.

Fentoluwa: @chynazom you talked about police bribery, are you going to endanger your life for that sum of money you can afford? you don't argue or talk foul to a man holding gun. Many have been victims of 'accidental discharge'
