Leadership without empathy

okefranci:

Who is that?

Nigerian Leaders! From Top to bottom...no iota of empathy is in them all.

Lewandoski20:
This government does not care about the OPTICS of their actions or inactions. It’s not a cerebral government. It’s made of dullardinhos

Agbegbaorogboye:

In the US, soldiers who die at the battlefront, the president attends their burial at Arlington.
Think about that.

I see a lot of times people ask Nigerians to be patriotic and support the armed forces in the fight against insurgency even with their abysmal human rights record against same Nigerians.
The least patriotic act the president can show is to physically pay the last respect to his chief army officer who died in active duty.

Exactly!

AMINDA:
Just to be clear. Jonathan was absent at Yar'adua's burial. General Abdulsalam was absent at Abacha's burial. All these burials all have one thing in common, they happened in less than 24 hours. Too short a time for the DSS to plan their itinerary. Being a President is not child's play. Buhari has been a target for assassination even as far back as 2014 in Kaduna when his convoy was attacked. The risk is higher now than then.

In sane countries with great leadership acts they'll've to attend.

We need young visionary leaders with great sense of empathy to lead us aright.

@SeniorWriter

Before you took your time to write this? Did you ask questions as to why it happened?

Ssd

Lexusgs430:
They don't care.......


You die for nothing......

and nothing will change, and all the mumu Nigerian soldiers will still not get sense that they need to camp all these politicians in one concentrated camp and rost them? If they can treat thier COAS this way, what else will they do to other ranks? A whole general in the army oh,

Hmmmmmm....

E go bad to attend the burial of person wey ur terrorist organization assassinate.
Na like telling iswap to attend shekau burial

Even his boss was absent at the funeral.

Terrible country.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
and nothing will change

GBAM.....

"Buhari" doesn't go out under hot sun again. He knows the mask will melt.

Abeg make una leave Buhari alone
Buhari just returned from a major event in France
Considering jet lags and related matters his presence there won't revive life

Some are not so ceremonial like some of you anyways
From God we came and to him we must return.
He may be more grieved than some of you questioning his whereabouts at the burial
I just hate hypocrisy

The military needs to take over.

Sad but true. I doubt there will be resistance from the masses if there was a coup today

Dialpad:
They can't be everywhere, they are top government officials who work with schedules. Like I always say, we are too emotional in this country.

What difference will their presence have made, what we should worry about is the aftermath, will the government kick their families out of the residence by next month or will there be provision for their wives and children.

May the lord comfort the families of the departed.

Don't be funny.

This fucking press inciting reasons for unpatriotism. The COAS was a muslim and muslims are buried the next day after death. So how can this be an issue?

Dead people ruling a dead country.

I'm not surprised, anyway.

It is obvious now that malami was speaking for the Northern governors

Mbok leave buhari he has not reccovered from the shock

Yemi Osinbajo was not in Abuja, he was in Lagos on official duty and Buahri send a delegate

bluefilm:
Let's get one thing clear...

I will be absent in my own burial, that's for sure!!!

Let there be lots of food and merriment on your absence

this is the Chief of Army staff for goodness me. Anywhere in the world this happened, the president would have attended.

Are there no young brave Military men that can save Nigeria?. Its getting too late

2special:
And if Osibanjo attend the funeral yesterday some confused egoat will call him chief mourner and likewise if he didn't attend the same set of people will still find fault

Stop making excuses for stupidity and mediocrity. Fools like you are why this country will never move forward. Buhari is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the armed forces. If he cant even perform the most basic function of his position, attending the funeral of his own chief of Army staff, then what hope do we have of him performing the more complex responsibilities of his office?

We mock Osinbajo because we never hear anything from him until when its time to pay his 'condonlences' for one thing or the other. In any case it should be the president attending to stuff like this not the VP.

If Osinbajo had attended, he would have been tagged "chief mourner" and "condolence minister" y'all confused on this street!

Being a military event, only buhari could’ve attended, and he was represented by the Minister of Defence. Osinbajo could’ve only gone if he was delegated to represent the president, and he was not. Let’s not be confusing ourselves o.

Osinbajo wahala go kill some of you, is it a must for him to be there

SeriouslySense:
So they cannot secure the place wow

I was speculating. I could be wrong.

Ofcourse, he has been used to it

benweezy:
Fear who no fear apc

How do you mean?

What else do you want President Buhari to do? He sent a powerful delegation led by the minister of defense to the funeral of the late soldiers.

Bullshit story fabricated by the opposition/IPOB to discourage compatriots from working sincerely for the present government....

It's unbelievable to believe that Osinbajo who has been greatly criticized for his public display of empathy to the point of been called Minister of Condolences, is now been called out for not attending Burial of late COAS because Buhari delegated minister of Defence to attend.
