Sam is not just a motivational speaker oo, i have been under his teachings, man's got a very good view of life in him

And he's not even meddling with his speech, only trying to proffer solutions to what he thinks is a problem

NOwazobia:
Commenting on national issues is meddling into politics? 🤦🏽‍♂️

“We are dealing with a deeply rooted leadership culture that makes the leader very powerful and the led practically a slave, across almost all sectors."

IconicR:
Nigerians are highly sentimental people, if it ain't their region in power then there's a problem and they will never cooperate with such person. The masses are the problems of Africa as a whole and until we have one voice in TRUTH devoid of any form of sentiments we will continue rotating in same cycle. One Voice Means Revolution.

biina:

I am not Ibo, but I still saw Obi as a more viable choice than the disaster that is Tinubu

Even the decayed corpse of Abacha is several googols times better than Tinubu

JASONjnr:


Let me define politics to you...... Seems you have forgotten the meaning...

Politics means the activities of the government or people who try to influence the way a country is governed...


Either way, he's meddling into politics by talking about the gaps between the poor and the rich....

biina:
Gap is not the problem. The problem is the lack of accountability.

Nigerians, and Africans in general, never hold our leaders accountable to he people, more so when the leader is from the same tribe/region.

The essence of control systems is the use of negative feeback to correct errors due to wrong output. In the absence of feedback, the system is free to produce whatever nonsense it wants

Angelfrost:


Please, don't ever confuse Sam Adeyemi with the leaders you support and fight for...! Just don't.

It will make you look more obtuse than you already project.

I don't even attend the man's church, but I have gotten successful by applying the principles he teaches his church members...

His church members are very successful and wealthy... Talk another thing!

georgeakins:


Stop this trash!
You're the one that look obtuse here.

Why was Adeyemi not successful before he started his church business? He was a pauper before he started the religious business.

He should have applied those theories he teaches to make himself successful.

Today, he survives on handouts from his followers and he is far richer than an average person there. Can you imagine a man without job living off his followers.

I despise such simplistic and shabby reasoning of laying all or most blames on the led rather than the leaders... It makes no sense.

Is it that you don't know the meaning of LEADERSHIP?! Do you not know or understand the power of influence wielded by a leader?!!

This is why I insist that Leadership should be a subject from primary school down to tertiary education.

The masses can't and won't rule themselves... They can't and won't unite by themselves... They are sheep... Sheep without kind and brilliant shepherds will go astray, no matter what they do.

This is why a nation that can't unite to elect good leaders will never thrive...

Nigeria didn't retrogress this badly because the citizens failed to cooperate with their leaders (I honestly don't know what that even means)... This nation has retrogressed because elected leaders have been selfish, wicked, corrupt, and clueless.

Simple!!!

NOwazobia:
Now, tell us how he would have commented in regards to national issues, as he is also a part of the nation, in order not to mendle into politics?

lexy2014:


What's wrong if he talks about the gaps between the rich and the poor?

Reference:


But where do these leaders come from. Are they not a chip off the block of nationals? Are they not rooted in the the soil of the citizenry where they uptake the nutrients to thrive according to their nature.

Is there any ruler that has not had popular support throughout history no matter what the outcome came to be.

In a democracy no one can become leader without massive support. The people who offer this are therefore culpable for whatever the outcome is at any point in time.

In detail. People supported the way the economy was badly run under the former government. They supported the borrowings for non productive uses. They supported the retention of subsidies then and the removal now. Everything happening today had broad support. That is the only way it is possible.

All leadership does is to aggregate the thoughts and wills of the people and that is what prevails everywhere in the world.

The coupists in Niger know this and only struck when they had gauged enough popular discontent to act. That is why the critical mass of Nigeriens are not on the streets in outrage.

Like their Nigerian counterparts and most of Africa they have not through a lack of knowledge, been able to forge a prosperous society. For the task of building society is not the exclusive responsibility of leadership. And wherever knowledge is lacking to do that emotions always prevail.

The only way out is restructuring. The people must deliberately sit down amongst themselves to decide the BASIC values of their corporate existence and then forge a corporate vision. Only then will get be able to FIND the type of leader(s) that can deliver their criteria.

Democracy is a demand driven, pushing venture not leadership pulling one. Leadership is neither the chicken nor the egg.

JASONjnr:


Read up....


I said he had the opportunity to say all of this before the elections but he chose to wail now.

And someone said he doesn't meddle into politics and I had to explain to him that he was actually meddling into politics.

JASONjnr:

Angelfrost:


My dear friend, I don't disagree with you at all...

But, how will the people unite, decide, and forge a path if there is no leadership?!!

Nigerians aren't the worst citizens in the world... And great leaders exist amongst our people.


Sadly, how can they emerge in a democracy where leadership is determined by immense popularity amongst whom are decadent lowlifes?!!

This means there might be no hope in sight for this nation, except a righteous and moral Military take over.

You see, this democracy is not working... The system of determining flagbearers from the major and ruling parties is founded on corruption, religion, ethnicity and personal interests rather than patriotism and national growth.

This means progress will remain a mirage in this deplorable farce we call a democracy.

This is why I always ask young men like me to read the old classic novels like:

Animal Farm by George Orwell
Man of the People by Chinua Achebe
Mine Boy by Peter Abraham
The Man Died by Wole Soyinka
The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born by Ayi Kwei Armah

Reference:


How did the people of France decide they wanted a Republic and ditched the monarchy of King Louis. Whereas the people of Britain decided to keep their monarchy but not as Sovereign.

Two countries, different people, different outcomes. It is the people's will that ALWAYS prevails. And the direction they go and the place they will end up is dependent on their knowledge and values.

Angelfrost:


They had leaders amongst them... They had people of great learning and exposure who spread the knowledge and truth within and without.

People don't just wake up and unite... Well, people like Nigerians will never do that!

georgeakins:



Tinubu is 100 times better than Peter Obi.
Only Ibos see Obi as a competent person.
He should go and lead their online biafra

georgeakins:


You said worse things to Buhari.
Obi can never be president of this great nation.
Your eyes will clear by the time Supreme Court upholds Jagaban victory.
Go and form your biafla

georgeakins:


I didn't ask if you're Ibo.
Those bitter and hateful rats online and offline are Ibos, but will still be ashamed by hiding their identities
I have gone round Nigeria, the bitter and hateful people I meet daily are all ibos. That is why nobody lives among them.

Your opinion about Jagaban is irrelevant.
He will be there for 4 years.

JASONjnr:
He had this to say before the elections but he didn't.... He supported his own tribesmen and voted a criminal into ppwer.



The gap will remain this much because people who are supposed to speak up at the right time often keep mute just to wail at the wrong time.

GO0DHardDick:
Damn it!

Why won't there be gap when a criminal drug lord forced himself on the citizens?

The renewal shege pro Max just started. Price of fuel is about to skyrocket again. Of course only obi and his supporters are suffering. Tinubu and APC supporters are enjoying and jubilating they're currently buying fuel for 90 naira. News has it that somewhere in Ogun, ekiti and Ondo fuel is sold for 52 naira to them. Una never see anything! Until the election tribunal kick that mofo in aso Rock out ASAP the suffering continues

Angelfrost:
This is precisely what I have been shouting about in all the past threads... This is why democracy is a joke on the citizens of African nations.

We haven't been practicing true democracy.

Obi won in Lagos and Abuja, I guess that means Lagos and Abuja belong to the Igbos. Do you now see how foolish your sound? Even as tinubu is running the country aground, you fools will keep defending him because he's Yoruba.

If Jesus Christ or Muhammad comes down to earth and contests as an Igbo man, you guys won't vote him. The past few months have shown the Yoruba to have a supremacist agenda but if dead on arrival

YouAreNobody:

Can you give 1 reason why you don't want Obi to be President?

I mean aside your ethnic bias
