House, please help me out with this question: Is Nigeria's problem bad leadership or weak "followership"? We were having this argument after we watched what just happened in Tunisia and Egypt. To me, i believe that bad leadership can be stopped by strong followership, and didn't Obama ask us to build strong institutions? Why arent we able to stop the deceitful people in government even with our huge population? |

professorb: Good followership develops and gets entrenched when prosperity and confidence becomes abundant. The issue of Good Leadership is extremely important because in my humble opinion we still do not have a system that churns out the best, even though we’ve got some extremely savvy and competent visionary individuals capable of transforming our economy to a modern digital wealth producing economy. Furthermore, I think we have a weak ineffective State and that in such a context, good leadership alone will not suffice to turn our circumstances around. The State or System also has to be fixed. |

It goes both ways. but to ensure good leadership, the followers must have a strong union and be willing to sacrifice. I guess thats what we followers lack in Nigeria, and that alone makes the leadership seem more powerful than the followers. Is started as a sacrifice in Tunisia, plus in Egypt, alot of people sacrificed too. What is the strenght of our unions in Nigeria and who is willing to sacrifice? |

I think it's both. But how do you follow something that's not working. |

Definitely both since the leaders refuse to provide good and qualitative leadership and the followership for also failing to line up this usurpers in the market place and give them the Nigerian version of the French Revolution |

ShangoThor: Well said, but which would you say in this case is Nigeria's greater challenge? |

Guys, i'm not sure Nigeria's problem is a result of bad leadership. Read this article first http://www.divanaija.com.ng/nigeria-blamed-leader-youth/ . Believe it or not - We are the collective cause of the fall of Nigeria and her backwardness. |

Followership gets a huge chunk of the blame. We demand little from our leaders. Are very divided along ethno-religious lines. Its-our-turn syndrome is a major problem of the followership. So many a times we support pple who give immediate gains(rice,10k-TAN, etc) than seek long term developmental growth. It would be no surprise to see that an intelligent and mentally sophisticated individual loses election to someone of lesser qualities because the latter is richer. we have no ideology. It is why these rulers keep succeeding in getting into power without results or promise of it. Needless to say is that the Nigerian polity now seems to favour criminals and sycophants. We hardly question the xters of those vying for political offices thus, ex convicts ,impeached governors and murder suspects contest elections. The problem is follwership. A very docile and passive follewrship soaked deeply in ignorance and myopia. |
