my summation in 24hrs. share & discuss.

Intergrity does not bestow competence on an individual. Competence is a function of intellectual capacity, IQ and critical thinking. Intergrity is more or less a decision to be honest in your everyday dealings.

Case closed. OP, next time use a dictionary to learn what incompetence means.

Hope you guys are not speculating about Buhari being man of integrity.

sori
u only gave two definitions.
give an example of integrity with incompetence?

definitions:

integrity-
https://www​.merriam-webster.com/.../ ...

Integrity definition is - firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : incorruptibility. 

incompetence-
https://www​.merriam-webster.com/ ...

1 : not legally qualified. 2 : inadequate to or unsuitable for a particular purpose. 3a : lacking the qualities needed for effective action. b : unable to function properly- incompetent heart valves.

…
therefore a man of integrity, knowing he would be incompetent at a given task, would seek to avoid his name being tarnished through an inadequate/poor quality performance.
=> a man of integrity will ALWAYS be competent in a chosen/accepted field/task.
…
any objections?

lol
dis is beyond 1 man.

Integrity is good. Competence is life. Lifelessness is not good.

Can an impotent man be termed Discipline in the Midst of beautiful ladies?

Integrity and competence are mutually exclusive!

u can be competent in ur job AND still give bribes. is means u lack integrity, despite ur competence.

if u have integrity, u will insist on competence in all u do by:
- either doing a competent job or;
- delegating it to competent people whom u supervise properly or;
- turning down d job because u lack d means to do it.

lastly, integrity is a personal quality that reflects in EVERY aspect of ur life.
competence is a function of ur training/skill sets; u can still be an unscrupulous person.

see the difference?

…

modified:
and to ur analogy-
an impotent man who has lascivious thoughts is still indisciplined, even though he appears in control.
this is one reason why appearances are usually deceptive.

Nigerians often mistaken a man of principle to a man of integrity. Vice versa.

1. You could be a principled robber. ie Rob, but don't rape. All these adherence to principles doesn't make you a man of morals. It only makes you a man of principle whether it's for a good course or a bad course.

Question: can this person be incompetent?

Answer: people who are principled are hardly incompetent in whatever they do. They are guided by law and order.

2. While a person of integrity is someone who objectively judges issues and makes the best decision from a moral ground.

Question: can a man of integrity be incompetent?

Answer: yes. Except you are also a man of principle, a man of integrity can be very incompetent.

sigh…

true, u can have principles without integrity.

but…

how can u POSSIBLY have integrity without being principled?

abi d definition don change?
