I've noticed that the average intelligence level (or atleast the projected intelligence) of today's leaders is significantly less than that of our leaders of long ago. What I mean by this is that it is hard to find a well-spoken political figure (or atleast the bad ones outnumber the good) in today's Nigeria as opposed to the Nigeria of the 60s.

For example, late president Alhaji Yar'Adua could not speak English. He spoke Hausa/Fulfude mixed with the little English he knew. Former president, Gen. IBB also does not speak English in the manner worthy of a president. Now compare these leaders of today to Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa or Ojukwu and you'll notice a difference. I'm wondering if this is a result of our "indigenous" educational system,

Here is an example of leadership worthy Intelligence:
