HAS NIGERIA EVER PRODUCED A TRUE LEADER LIKE MANDELA SINCE 1960?


Nigeria has paid dearly for ethical lapses and competency deficiencies in public and private life. Corruption is systemic in Nigeria with the ordinary citizen being compelled to be either a liar, a cheat or an outright thief.

It has stultified growth and national development, subverted the nation’s values and norms, generated a culture of illegality and impunity in public service, strengthened insurgency and frittered away the promise of the nation’s brighter future.

As a true citizen, think over it:
Is there any Nigerian leader you can hold out as an example and model for your children?

▪ Which leader in Nigeria do you secretly want to be like in character, morality and general disposition?

▪ Do you know of any Nigerian leader you can honestly say with confidence, that he will never lie to the people?

▪ Is there any Nigerian leader who can truly be called the servant of the people?

Since 1960 that Nigeria got her independence, the highlight of Nigeria’s predicament as a nation is the search for credible and honest leadership.

If Nigeria had effectively and efficiently utilised just only 25% of all the oil money she had earned between 1999 and 2014, she would have graduated from the membership of under-developed nations to become a member of the developed nations.

Nigeria has produced more millionaires within the past ten years than any other country in the world, yet Nigerian governments are not able to pay their workers, finance educational systems,
and meet her foreign exchange obligations.

This points to the fact that Corruption has penetrated the warp and woof of the Nigerian society. The boss and his messenger, the police officer and the recruit, the classroom teacher and his student, the politician and the voter, the judge and the lawyer, the pastor and his parishioner - none can remain untainted by this stigma.

Two main factors have played upon each other in destroying the moral fibre of the nation: abject POVERTY and malevolent GREED.

The greed of the ruling class, plays upon the poverty of the larger majority of the people to perpetuate the scourge of fraud and corruption.

Why else would a serving Inspector-General of Police misappropriate 17 billion of Police fund in less than four years of public office?

Why would a Major in the Army accused of supplying government arms and ammunitions to militants and insurgents in Nigeria’s Niger Delta have over 220 million in his bank account?

Why would a serving Permanent Secretary in a Government Ministry be found with the sum of 2 billion in cash at his residence?

Why would there be a secret account opened by federal government in US but has only one signatory?

These are clear cases of insincerity among the leaders in truly addressing the problem; they have tasted the forbidden apple of power, wealth and personal ambition nurtured and grown by corruption, and most of their protestations against corruption is mere lip service.

Wise up, they've started coming to you again with bundles of lies. Come february 14, play smart, vote wise and insure your future with your VOTE.

God bless Nigeria

Since 1960, I single out Buhari.
