In a world most dominated by masculine activities since creation; it won't be out of place to say it's a man's world, given the fact that most of the strategic positions and functions of the general world order are controlled by men. With the few women that make the break in such areas highly celebrated. Even the major religions of the world places the male figure as head over his household and this originally translates to the society at large.

Unfortunately for the women, we live in societies that are rooted in religious beliefs especially in third world countries like Africa were the woman is expected to be absolutely submissive to the man. But the question is in the leadership capability of the man. Being a male figure does not necessarily qualify him as a good leader. As the saying goes "Being a male is by birth, being a man is by age, being a gentleman is by choice, and true gentlemen make great leaders"

The gentleman is a higher breed of male figure, he leads by matching his words with his actions. A function of his integrity that commands irrevocable respect. He is a society builder, when a society wallows in poverty and disarray such society is devoid of true gentlemen. Regardless of the amount of well dressed and educated men it has, and this depicts a clear picture of the African society and other third world countries.

A gentleman is generous with his resources, he willingly serve others and extend a helping hand to those in need, not only when elected as a public officer. He is a life long learner, he maintains a teachable spirit that keeps him close to even the lowly, treat others with respect, restraints and responsible in all his interactions. Honorable not by title but by deeds arising from his upbringing. Embraces people from all cultures, ethnic and religious groups and possess strong work ethics.

It's obvious Africa and some poor countries of the world lack true gentlemen to lead them to peace and prosperity. The fact that the system produces highly educated men does not automatically transform them into gentlemen. The continent is in dire need of true gentlemen that deserve the submission of our fast learning ladies and are capable to lead us forward with examples and not excellence of words.. Where are the true GENTLEMEN in AFRICA?
