[size=13pt]"NIGERIA....A Country with some of the finest Brains in the World, being led by an Illiterate whose English needs translation in English" - Pat Utomi[/size]





A professor of political economy and management expert, Professor Patrick Utomi, said Nigerians and the government must be alive to their responsibilities if the country was to witness genuine transformation.
The former presidential candidate and founder of Centre for Value in Leadership (CVL), was guest speaker at a Breakfast Meeting organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Victory Chapel, Province 21, Magodo, Lagos State. The theme of the programme was: “Christian Leadership in Contemporary World”.
He began his message by charging the audience to initiate the kind of change they were clamouring for. He said it was unfortunate that people would stay at the comfort of their rooms only to complain about everything and do nothing about it. He stated that the man with the biggest authority in an organisation might not be the most effective person in moving the organisation towards its goal.
According to the erudite scholar, Nigeria has over the years, been immersed in poor leadership style, saying it was the cause of the crises the country was currently facing.
He also lamented that another major problem with leadership in Africa was the people’s refusal to be exposed to information.
“Readers are leaders. If we don’t read, we won’t anticipate problems or know how to deal with them upfront.”
He recalled how the Boko Haram insurgency could have been prevented when it was at its infant stage years ago.
“To lead, you must be knowledgeable. People don’t follow somebody who doesn’t know where he is going. Otherwise, you fall into a ditch.”
Utomi urged the government to invest in its human resources – their education and overall well-being in order to yield demographic dividends. He expressed the belief that quality leadership would make the seemingly impossible to be possible.
He recalled that he was shocked and couldn’t forget the day former president Goodluck Jonathan said Nigeria’s economy was doing well because it was the fastest growing private jets market in the world. He said it was unfortunate that Nigerians were accumulating wealth by buying obnoxious things. He said the same people had started auctioning such items.
Utomi said he could not fathom the paradox of corruption, religiosity and happiness linked to Nigerians.
“Nigerians were said to be the most religious people in the world. Just about the same time, the transparency index found Nigeria to be the most corrupt people in the world, and another study found Nigerians to be the happiest people in the world. I don’t know how many people can resolve this paradox,” he noted.
Professor Utomi told Daily Sun, shortly after the programme, that he had always remained a teacher.

I thought this same Utomi once said Buhari would be Nigeria's Abraham Lincoln because they both had earlier election defeats and health problems before being elected.
The difference is that while one went on to be a great president the other is turning out to be a bumbling idiot.....
someone should please hand Utomi a wailers form, he needs it.

the OP and blog owners are goats.

why do you guys like spreading lies so much. PAT UTOMI never said anything like what the headline said. Even in this very article, he was never quoted as saying such.

Bloggers and lies are like players number 5 & 6

Was just about to say that.

Most of the people commenting didn't read the post despite the fact that the post isn't too long.

"If you want to hide something from a black man, hide it in a book...he won't read it"

These are the same youths clamouring for leadership of this country to be passed to them. Smh

Nonsense. Who has grammar helped in Nigeria?

Professors rig exams to favour students of their choice. To gain admission into universities, you must now one professor or a lecturer.

Judges collect bribe to upturn justice.

Legislators are the greatest looters, padding budgets for selfish reasons.

Education has been rubbished in Nigeria. It seems the higher educational qualification, the more corrupt the holder.

Damn it! Education has lost moral values and ethics in Nigeria!
