People get the kind of leader they deserve, i.e the attitude of the leader is a reflection of the attitude of the mass followership. So arrange these aspirants in the order we deserve to be ruled. There names r in no particular order: Ribadu, GEJ, IBB, Buhari, Okotie, Shekarau and Utomi. Apologies to others whose names didn't appear.

@Op,
The answer to your question depends on your perception of Nigerians. Here's what i think;
1) Buhari - if truly Nigerians are like animals that need to be beaten into place to conform, given a strict definition of right and wrong which they must adhere to with dire consequences for those that err.
2)Gej- If Nigerians are a complex people that need to be understood and each distinct set given what is due or perceived to be due to them in order to keep them happy, make them do your bidding and harness their potentials.
3)Ribadu - If Nigerians are ruthlessly corrupt and we need a proud,brash and perceived honest man to rescue us.
4)Shekarau- If Nigerians are all like Kano residents that are easily swayed by personalities.
5)Utomi - If Nigerians are predominantly literate and free from grinding poverty.
6)Okotie - If Nigerians are not divided by religion and wary of new age pastors and appreciate out-of-dictionary English words a little more.
Buhari comes first cos most around here seem to believe they r animals and need an iron hand to do whats right. I'll go with Gej though cos i think he's what we need.

Democracy?
