DaLover: How many world leaders are phd holders....I don't know where dunce Nigerians like you get this warpped relationship btw phd and leadership

Not all leaders are PhD's but all genuine PhD's (not the Goodluck Jonadunce type) are leaders. The skills they gain in the course of their research are important characteristics of leadership.

DaLover: A good auto mechanic should Alo be able to research, analyse and resolve problems...hence would make a good president abi....
Only a dunce like you would tie leadership skills to academics or a profession...ode!

And so an auto mechanic cannot be a leader in your own rotten brain.

A PhD researches at a very high level not gutter level and the skills which he gains in the course of his research is an important attribute of leadership.

[s]

DaLover: What's the relationship btw phd and politics?
What's the relationship btw intellectualism and leadership?

Where you thought any special course on politics and leadership in ur BA?

[/s]

Rubbish!!! A PhD is a leader. A true Phd possesses research skills, analytic skills and problem-solving skills. These are important attributes of leadership and I do not expect a dunce like you to know this.

Those who know ask the important question, "how did Jona get his PhD?", it is a shame on our education system.

[s]

DaLover: How do you know all he is doing is talking?
What's your analysis of his security arrangements?
Where can improvements be made?

If all we do is to come here and blab, being too lazy to even cross check simple facts and recommend intelligent suggestions how do u expect anyone to take you seriously.

Following the moronic crowd of demdem, eko lie, dayokanu, gnawed will not aid you...these are frustrated lagos axis persons who which to their own ethnic logic on the rest of the country.

[/s]

Rubbish again.

[s]

DaLover: All these insults because someone tried to wean you off free oil money...is that how hooked you and other ingrates here have become?
While call other ethnic and tribalism, the real one is you...you have nothing constructive to offer, yet you come here to make the loudest noise.
Tell me why the president as a Christian cannot express what all other Christians have been told?
You and ur Shylock crew deliberately refused to look at the component of the speech were gej promises to end the book haram terror?

You blame Nigerians for choosing gej without history but show me the history of the alternatives..

[/s]

Rubbish!!!

Jona is searching for "end times", meanwhile, Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trillion run.

Dem wan go hell fire go chop am? Na waoh!!!

Fraudulent Nigerian, where at thou? Time to earn your salary O. Oya defend this one wey your master misyarn.

Before I dey talk say this man is on 'sapele water', this is a sign of cocaine and ghanja mixed together.

I must commend the Governor, this move further supports Rossike's point that all is not bad with naija.

Unlike some others who run to Israel to treat ordinary chest infection.

Ranka dede Sir and get well soon. But meanwhile by koboko and put inside your car. Once in a while naija drivers dey need koboko to correct somethings. I am talking from experience, my uncle had one in his car those days

[quote author=mosun_ade]LOL. So, you slam your foot on the gas pedal in an intersection with the red lights on and you jam another car head on, and you blame it on one corrupt person somewhere and not on yourself cos you acted foolishly? LOL. SMH. You overrun your speedometer and you have a blow out and die in the process and blame it on the corrupt tendencies of some faceless people? Haba.

You drive with a bottle of Henessey in your glove compartment, sipping it at intervals and you sleep off and ran into the bush and die in the process and then blame it on some politicians somewhere or on some law enforcement? Chuo.

Now, take GEJ out of the picture and think hard to see if you are making sense.[/quote]I can take one case, I can take two cases, however, when it happens as frequently as we have in our country, there is a problem with leadership.

In corporate governance, they say Directors have the ultimate responsibility for internal controls. Does it mean Directors are everywhere within the organisation where controls are implemented? But they set a tone at the top and cascade it through the organisation. Who are the Directors in this instance, it is Goodluck Jona and the leadership of the nation. They have a responsibility to change. That attitude which Jona deems suitable for the Nigerian people, it is his duty as the leader to embed it on the citizenry by cascading it from the top to the bottom.

But how can he when Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trillion run?

[quote author=mosun_ade]OK. People are not killing themselves because CCTV will catch them, if there are no CCTVs, naturally, they will begin to kill themselves because they dont want to obey the law and because there is no law enforcement. I get u. classic.

Na wa o. So, people dont know to do what is good unless they are coherced.[/quote]Do you know how many conflicts man experienced in the past. From the dark ages, to the medieval era, man had a lot of conflicts resulting in murdering the next man to settle scores. But the evolution of man to the present day can be traced to laws put in place in the society. These laws are controls just like the CCTV you have. Man knows today that there are more and more consequences for his actions and he does everything not to be caught on the wrong side. In Nigeria the culture is one where an Ibori will be given a national honour. By who? By the President who should set a right tone at the top. They cannot even implement their laws and they want attitudinal change.

[quote author=mosun_ade]Bros. answer me first. Accidents in Abuja with good roads are caused by corruption.? Answer a simple question.[/quote]Yes corruption is one of the cause given the frequency. There are institutions that should monitor and take actions accordingly. But how will these organisations function when they have been bastardised by corrupt practices? How do they regulate people when they cannot regulate themselves internally? These are the issues. Corruption distorts public policy in its entirety.

[quote author=mosun_ade]LOL. Why is everyone not committing murder then? Why are they not killing themselves. Why are they not walking naked in the streets. See thinking.[/quote]Because you will face the consequences. Why do you have speed cameras everywhere? Why do you have CCTVs at city centers? Do they think everyone will naturally obey the law? Absolutely not!!! There are controls to put everyone in check. It is not a society where an Alams who should be in jail dines with the President. How do you change attitudes where Jona has set a tone of criminality at the top?

[quote author=mosun_ade]LOL. I am sure you are not getting any follower.[/quote]I don't need people like you who are professional butt lickers. I have a project already in my constituency and it is about driving young people to be ethically aware. So you can crawl back to wherever you came from and continue in your misery.

We will save Nigeria from the hands of rogues and brigands.

AjanleKoko: The Great Irony is, the Nigerians turned out in large numbers to happily vote for GEJ.

Because most find it difficult to differentiate right from wrong. They have been heavily bastardised by a failed leadership who sells criminality to them as being right. The tone cascaded down by leaders is one that shows an Alams, an ex-convict, as the 'President's friend'. They only start seeing wrong with the hardship they experience.

And that is why people like me are here, to educate more and more people on the responsibility of Leaders. They should know what is expected of Leaders so as to rightly lay claims. Leadership is not Child's play most especially in a developing country like Nigeria. You either solve the problem or you get out of there without making excuses.

Anyone that thinks human beings truly want to obey the law is a big mumu. Then why do we have controls? Why do we have speed cameras on streets in the developed world. Do you think everybody wants to obey speed laws at all times? But they have no choice because if they don't, they get done. That is how leaders drive change and not run away irresponsibly.

I look at my manager who is like a friend, when I mess up, he has a go at me. Why? Because if he does not and the man above him finds out, he gets done. If the man above him does not, the man above the man above him tells him off, if he does not, he gets done. Such that now, it is a part of us, you don't get told but you know it already.

That is how cultures are embedded, that is how attitudes and values are cascaded. How can Jona cascade down the right attitude when Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trilion run.

[quote author=X-factoria]Many of us are just so quick to jump to conclusions or are just so unintelligent to make logical inferences.

GEJ did not say corruption is not a problem. He said our attitude is a bigger problem and I agree with him. Our attitude in Nigeria makes corruption thrive. We hail rogues who steal from government and when they are caught, we ask "are they the only ones?". Some people do nothing when they see corrupt practices and just wait for their own time and opportunity. How can we fight corruption successfully if we do not have the right attitude?

Your brother/sister/neighbour is living beyond his/her means and rather than query them, you ask to them to show you how to do it better or share part of their corrupt riches.

GEJ is right on this.[/quote]That is why you need leaders to step up and drive change in those attitudes. To think 170 million people will initiate change is absolutely ridiculous, what you will have is chaos. You need leaders to set the right tone at the top and then cascade cultures, systems and a taken-for-grantedness of these favourable attitudes and values.

But how can they, when Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trillion run.

“Recently, I met with officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps who told me that they had discovered that majority of the road accidents are recorded on good roads.

So this is the basis of analysis of the President of the most populous black nation on earth. CHAI, road side argument on a bottle of sapele water!!!

How did this man get his PhD?

Another Jonadunce statement!!!

What Jonadunce calls for is change but he is extremely daft to think citizens will change attitudes without leaders initiating and driving change. One thing we know in the study of change is, the context in which change takes place is very critical to the success or failure of change. If change was such a less complex process then we will not have to study change management in public policy.

Leaders initiate a change strategy, set a tone at the top, cascade down this tone and embed certain culture and systems within their organisation. Leaders drive their citizens to change and initiate various strategies to manage resisitance to change.

What is the tone at the top in Nigeria? It is a tone of fraud and brigandage. It is a place where the likes of Ibori and Jonathan are leaders. Can such people set the right tone at the top? Can they cascade a culture down given that they have stolen the nation blind? Do people take Jonathan serious? Do people take David Mark serious? You cannot act criminally as a leader and expect anything different from citizens.

Nigerians should be ashamed that they have such a man as a leader. This man will completely destroy this country. The fact that he does not see a link between corruption and chaos means he is either mischievous or clueless. But I don't believe he does not see a link, he is wittingly trying to exonerate himself from the destruction he has caused this country in the last three years.

karl max: what this means is that your standard of living as a nigerian has increased by 6.48 percent!. I don't expect it to put food on your table what it simply means is that NIGERIA UNDER GEJ made more money.and if u can tap into the transformation agenda of this government(instead of u critizing and waiting for the FG to give u job when ur local govertment that collects allocations from same FG on ur behalf can't then ur on a long thing)like me who taped into this governments agricultural sector tranformation I knw what am getting just being a NIGERIAN CITIZEN!

So this is your own understanding of growth statistics. Iraq is growing at 9%, so that is Halleluyah for Iraqi people?

Meanwhile Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trillion run.

President Jonadunce

Yes O Fash, I believe you die.

This is what you get when cities get over-crowded as everybody is marching from Otueke to Alagomeji to sell gala and lacasera on Carter bridge.

Planning becomes difficult, regulation becomes a nightmare, every riffraff becomes a business man without an awareness of the basics of health and safety.

Why? Because Ngozi and Jona done carry N5 trillion run.

[s][quote author=Frank-C]how exactly does this strategy help a youth who does not know how to write a business plan? People are making it in this country. When Mark's idea mature, he sat on the boad of his young coy with clear idea of where he was heading to and took some financing decisions, including employing some US graduates to achieve this.
Bank of Industry is there for industrialists. If you want to test my logic, find out how many youths that have really approached these banks with smart plan and meet the procedures for accessing credit line but failed. Majority of the Nigerian youth will prefer to dismiss BoI as government propaganda without doing any work to test the usefulness of the information he has. That way, they feel that the blame goes back to the government, not them.
How many Nigerian youths have really shown interest in farming and accessing the already active credit lines and facilities by taking farming as a business.
It is easy to blame another person for ones failures.
Here in Nigeria, there are many smart Nigerian young people who can write codes or design websites. How many have the discipline to articulate their business plan and talk about financing. Some complain that their business plans are being stolen by banks. To me, this would have made them millions if they took the right decision. What happened to involving responsible lawyers at the right time and squeezing the balls of that bank dry?
Nothing good comes easy. Many want easy, monthly stipend because it is easy. Few want to take risks. These totally depends on individuals, not government![/quote][/s]

Rubbish for the 3rd time. Who says Nigerian youths are not doing enough even with the criminal environment which they find themselves? They are everywhere, from Otukpo, to Abagana, to Alaba, to Maiduguri, to Kano, to Owerri and even to the hills of Obudu, Nigerian youths are trying their best to bring out something from this very harsh environment. Please do not insult them even whilst stealing their collective wealth. There is a limit to where their efforts will ultimately lead as it takes a coordinated approach to building these potential entrepreneurs to realise their ultimate potential.

Who says Nigerian youths are not engaged in agriculture? However, from what I know about agriculture, a large input of labour relative to machine input could be a signal that it is still being run using obsolete technologies. The number of people we have engaged in agriculture in Nigeria today is more than enough! However, they cannot simply produce enough given the very obsolete technological input put to agricultural output in Nigeria.

[s][quote author=Frank-C]I understand how you feel as i appreciate that sucess is not meant for everybody. Some people must be salary earners.
Entrepreneaurs actually thrive on tough and inadequate environment. Tell me how exactly the government aided Mark's sucess in his facebook coy.
Some of you critics are wasting your time and talent. You need to focus what you can do with your time to create wealth, insulting GEJ and Ngozi doesn't just do that for you.
Yes, government provides the environment for entrepreneurs to create wealth by introducing tax regimes and proper business climate but the society need youths with guts to stick out their necks and take business risks. Government doesn't create jobs, they provide the right environment and that environment is presently making many people rich. That is wealth creation.
Presently, we have a favorable business tax regime and lots of waiver which foreigners are taking advantage of while the Nigerian youth is busy criticizing government. This is a failure on the part of Nigerian youth, not the government. The same way our inability to win medals in olympics is a marked failure of this generation of youths.
Lebanese youths, Chinese youths, Indian and Pakistani youths and very many other nationals are here making money and taking advantage of waivers and Nigerian youths are here insulting the GEJ and carrying files for these foreigners to employ them.[/quote][/s]

Rubbish again!!! Strike out India, Pakistan and Lebanon from those your countries, those countries are equally as horrible as your Nigeria. For the Chinese, China has a conscious programme to create jobs for its large population. For example, there is the China Development Bank with a capital base of over $600 billion. The main objective of this bank is to target and finance development projects across China and it is doing this effectively. Again this Bank aids finance for Chinese entities and development projects in foreign countries. For example, there is the China Africa development fund under this bank aimed at finance for development projects in Africa. The China-Africa development fund is one of the sources of finance for the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Now this fund gives them a good means to hold foreign currency reserves, prevent an appreciation of the RMB yuan and thus attract labour intensive FDIs to meet the employment needs of their large population. Now you see where coordination comes into problem solving, it is not a 'bolekaja' approach.

Now on Mark and the US. The US can produce and continues to produce millions of Marks. Did they just drop from the sky? There is an environment, a taken-for-grantedness of certain rituals and routines of leadership behaviour which has been built in by leaders in that country. The truth is every country has millions of talents, however, except there is a conscious programme and accompanying projects to tap these 'Marks', you will only continue to produce "one lucky one'.

I say this because I have worked and I am still working in this environment and I understand how leaders are developed in this environment. From my very Junior days at work, I had been made to undergo various trainings on leadership. I was also made to work as part of specialist teams to find ways of improving processes within our work place which was not part of my function. What this did to me was it developed a questioning attitude in my day-to-day life. This is how leaders are produced in large numbers and not the "lucky one" approach to leadership and entrepreneurial development.

9. Deal And Communicate With People Effectively: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.
Successful people develop and nurture a network and they only do that by treating people openly, fairly and many times firmly. There is nothing wrong about being firm – just don’t cross the a-hole line. How do you deal with people?

Someone posted this earlier and I picked interest in it. This is what I had to learn and I still have to learn daily on my job. Today there is a 'taken-for-grantedness' of these routines and rituals in me. I see people and I give them that fake smile, it is now a part of me. Ultimately, there is a 'spill-over' of these routines and rituals in the larger society. This is how leaders are produced in large numbers in these societies, it is not 'bolekaja'.

Will you say Jona and Ngozi have done enough to motivate and develop potential leaders and entrepreneurs when they have vamoosed with N5 trillion?

[s][quote author=Frank-C]This is the very problem of the present day Nigerian youth. They believe that the government is denying them something that is stopping them from becoming self dependent.
First off, government does not provide you with drive to be self sufficient, neither does 6 figure salary does that. Looking yourself in the mirror and taking tough decisions does this.
Again, good grades does not mean anything in the world of wealth creation. For the best, it enables one to raise initial capital to start up something.
Finally, there is something inherently wrong with the mindset that makes one to place higher value on a bank manager than that guy to goes out each money to Ladipo market on ragged jeans and t-shirt. Most of those boys in Idumota and Ladipo became millonairs before they turned 20 under their boss by saving from their feeding allowance and other many legit means. They strive for 50 million and above after being set free and they are independent, self sufficient and bouyant. But the society laugh at them as 'hustlers'
I had a hard time convincing my friend to take up his dad's lucrative auto spare parts biz in Abakaliki. This guy studied mechanical engineering but feel that bank job is the place. Today, he is doing as well as his only class mate that works in Total.
There are many start up software coys in the country today. I know one formed by UNN electrical engineering graduates of the same class and they do do projects for the major telcos. The took the tough option, denied themselves of some initial pleasure and today, they are doing better than most oil coy workers.
All these people are all in Nigeria, the same environment and the same opportunities. I can't seem to see what the government did differently for them.[/quote][/s]

Rubbish!!! So development and job creation has now become a 'bolekaja' uncoordinated approach? Then we do not need development programmes and projects around the world, let everyone go and hustle and bring something out. However, we know this is absolutely impossible, there is the need for a conscious and coordinated approach to problem-solving given the magnitude of the unemployment crisis which Nigeria faces. I can take 10%, 15% or even 20%, however, in our case we have 50% unemployed with many more underemployed, it means the economy is not just working and there is a need for a properly coordinated programme to solve the crisis.

Listen to yourself, "I know one, I know one", of course in a situation like this, one lucky one will always come out, however, like I stated earlier, to solve the crisis demands a coordinated approach directed by leadership and not this 'bolekaja' approach which will always produce one. We want many and not one!!!

But how do you do it, when Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trillion run.

Zutchy: Mr KOBOJUNKIE or whatever the f**k your name is,we know your the worst of them all,the leader of the pack that does not want this country to progress due to political inclinations,but guess what,this bunch of technocratic individuals who happen to lead us this time around,"fortunately" are going to clear your doubt and make people see what simpletons you are,come December we are all going to be rejoicing here and you bloody pessimistic motherf**k*rs are going to be gnashing your teeths in frustration,just you watch,JUST YOU WATCH!!!!!!!!!!

O boy, you still dey alive? December done reach O.

Of course PDP is on it. They have been on it since God knows when, yet we never see flight from Cameroon not to talk of Egypt. They spent years "rehabilitating" PH airport runway, so wait for a few more years on this one too.

After some time now dem go carry atilogwu dancers pay them small money make dem come dance for the airport, NTA and Labaran Maku go capture am, Good Governance Tour, then we go shout "HALLELUJAH!".

I weep for this country, how can people be so wicked to their country?

kutchs: initially I didnt want to comment on this thread but when I saw ur lies especially on the Ogoja-Abakiliki rd I was moved.
To put the recods straight so that u dont deceive the ever present gullible on nairaland that road that stretches over 70km from Mbok Junction 2gh yala nd Ezeilo to Abakiliki was just completed few months ago and is one of the best motorable rds in Nig 2day. From Mbok 2gh Ikom to Calabar I havent been on so cant talk about. From Abakiliki to Afikpo to Okigwe is also so good that u can even close ur eyes and drive on. Abakiliki to Enugu is being worked on as we type.
Aba-Owerri up to Owerrinta has been worked on. Owerri-PH rd 2gh Elele and Igwurunta is being worked on (I was on the rd 2 days ago). Okigwe-Owerri up to Amaraku is great.
So Sir I dont know what u‘re talking about oh! Wait a minute you dont stay in the country am not surprised.
When you FOOls come on nairaland with ur lies u believe pple dont see 2gh them dont you?

You are a liar, a big liar!!! Which Owerri to Okigwe? The one I drove on in October? Abakailiki to Ogoja, that road has been on as far back as 2005 when I first went to Obudu and I was on that road in October and still saw the same job still going on. So when did they complete it?

Now mess out of here you lying scum!!!

Now this is your Owerri Okigwe road in the photo. One of the "two best roads in Nigeria" according to you. Well it may be true because with PDP anything is possible. This is the Okigwe end O. From Akabo to Iho is another terrible part of that road. In fact a motion was said to have been moved by my old friend, Bethel Nnaemeka Amadi, on this same road in the house, so what are you going on about?

taharqa: Now, you my friend are a shameless TOOL and an ijiot. Just imagine how you twisted the words of the @OP in order to make your silly points.

This was what the @OP said:



You specifically chose the two areas that the @OP already admitted where the two very small areas that the rehabilitation is still ongoing, to make it look like the rehabiltation was 'a joke' as you put it.

1st off, whether it is Oshiomohle who is presently rehabilitating the Ugbowo-Dawson (Ugbowo-New Benin) VERY TINY, almost inconsequential section (not only cos it is just too small but also cos of the Bye-pass) is so besides the point. I know there was a misunderstanding bw the FG and the Edo state govt, and if it is the Edo state govt that is doing it now, I expect them to demand for refunds from the FG soon.

The @OP also said clearly that a section close to Ofosu is still been rehabilitating, yet you are already calling it a 'failed portion'. What a DUNCE...

Mr Man, don't you get our point? Work has been going on on that road since 1999! It is still the same old story. For over 10 years now, RCC has been on that road.

This work e no dey finish? Na everyday we dey make "progress" on the road we have been on for over 10 years and still counting? Look for where I dey now, some parts of the M1 have been expanded with 3 lanes on both sides with hard shoulders, no noise about it. I no even remember when they started the project, all I know is that the road is wider now and I can drive smoothly on that road.

This our own rehabilitation no dey finish? We wan build am till Jesus come?

kutchs: If I didnt know the two roads I might be forced to believe your lies.

Mr man shut your dirty mouth up and go feed your lies to someone else. I travel around the SS and SE a lot when I'm in Nigeria. To the deepest roads you never knew existed, I will tell you their state at the moment. Now GTFOH!!!

Now make I give una another project wey this bastards say dem dey on.

The Itigidi river bridge and approach. That contract was awarded in 2002 for N7 billion and construction started in early 2003. Till today we still dey on top that project. 10 good years my people and every year this project gets into the budget. This same project was in the 2012 budget and is still in 2013 budget.

Now who is the contractor handling the project? GITTO! Remember them? The guys when be donate church to Jona. Na dem, till today dem never finish that project which was awarded to them in 2002.

kutchs: Now i know some of you are worse liars than Lai Moh‘d. To include Ogoja-Abakiliki and Owerri-Okigwe rds in ur list shows you are very destructive and should be avoided. The two rds especially Ogoja-Abakiliki rd is unarguably one of the best rds in Nigeria 2day. A rd i drove on on the 21st can not be on that ur stupid list. I dont know about odas but that rd?

Are you running mad. I was on those roads in October this year and it is nothing to write home about. From Orie Akabo around white house, it was flooded and riddled with pot holes. The next place at Ama Nwa Ozuzu just before Iho, nothing to write home about. Now getting to Okigwe town to link the Enugu to Aba highway, it is another sham, so what are you going on about from your mad brain?

I was on Abakailiki to Ogoja highway, getting to Ogoja is another nightmare. Ikom to Calabar nko, it is another mad road, so what are you going on about? GTFOH

Sincere 9gerian: You wrote :
"You are an insincere man. From the heading of those fraudulent threads created by you all, does it not explicitly state that the road has been "fixed"? How cana road be "fixed" and I can still see pot holes in those photos? What kind of human being are you biko?"
You referred specifically to me, or didn't you? Show me where I wrote that the Benin- Ore road "has been fixed". Otherwise, you must be a LIAR. Shame on all liars!

Why make excuses for liars if you are not a liar yourself? What the man did was to bring out threads showing lies on this same road over the years but you jumped on it trying desperately to convince him to keep believing lies.

Shame on all liars!!!
