OURS IS A CITIZENSHIP PROBLEM AND NOT LEADERSHIP

There is too much emphasis on the need for good leadership without asking for equally good and responsible citizenship. Now see what happens:
1. A tailor will collect jobs that exceed his/her capacity and fail to deliver to his customers on time. He will lie repeatedly, switch off his/her or even disappear. No amount of threats would make them change.

2. Bus drivers will put a worn-out second hand tire on their vehicles, overload the them with goods and passengers and travel on a high speed. No amount of arrests or warnings would make them stop.

3. Police officers will collect bribes, make unnecessary arrests and ignore calls to emergency situations. Their vehicles dont have fuel always or there are no bullets to fight crime. No amount of budgetary allocation could change this.

4. A chemist will sell expired drugs on purpose. They don't care if patients die as long as they make money. No amount of police reports and periodic arrests by NAFDAC could change this.

5. A teacher got employed with a dodgy NCE certificate. He or she can hardly speak and write good English but they have certification in teaching and pedagogy from an accredited college. They don't deserve to be teachers but they lobbied for the job or even paid for it. No amount of public complaints and outcry would change this.

6. You lend money to a friend or family member based on mutual trust. They most often than not violate the terms and refuse to give you back the money. No amount of threats and police reports could help you.

7. Parents pay money at miracle centers for their children to pass WAEC and NECO. They hire someone to write JAMB for them and gain admission into the university or college. They graduate without having basic numerical and language competencies to be employable. No amount of warnings or strict invigilation would make desperate parents and students change their attitudes toward education.

8. A doctor or nurse will come to work late, shout at patients and treat them with disrespect. No amount of pleas would make them change this attitude.

9. A car dealer will sell you a used or accident vehicle as new. They disappear soon after you make payment. No amount of police involvement would make them stop this shady business.

10. A civil servant will come to work late, hide files of those who refused to give him or her money, or refuse to response to public information requests when accountability is required. No amount of public service reforms could change this.

Yet, Nigerians are shouting that we have leadership problems, throwing names at one another and waiting for a Messiah to come to the rescue. People are waiting for leaders to change before they stop doing some of the problems listed above. They are blaming the fictional leadership for making them do those things. The truth is that we have more of citizenship than leadership problems in Nigeria. And unless we change these, we are likely going to continue debating the chicken and egg metaphor trying to figure out which one comes first!

All this still points to bad leadership, bad leaders begat bad citizens because if the leaders do what is right they would be able to enforce law that will put their citizens in line but where we have bad leaders whom their main motive is to steal,loot and act above the laws what do you expect of the citizens

Let’s call a spade a spade. Bad leadership is still the major problem we have in this country. A country the leaders are greatgrandparents, a country where the state government are finding it hard to accept $90 as the new minimum wage, a country where snake and monkey can swallow billions of money without being traced. All the points you wrote are based on the tactics used by the citizens to survive in this harsh environment.

If the head is rotten, the body cant stand, we will still blame our leadership, if we have a good and working system of justice, all these thing you listed are punishable offences under a good justice system..
How many times have you heard that a driver has been jailed for risking the lives of passengers by driving with fake tyres?
how many times have you heard that a worker was disengaged because he played with his duties?
Let some defaulters get punished as an example and watch the rest of us behave well.
you wonder why in secondary school, sometimes you take french language subject more serious than English, not because you want to go to Paris, but because the teacher taking french is no nonsense man.
