That's the profile of the deputy prime minister of Singapore. How many Nigerian leaders since independence have got such profile? Even if he does not possess such, it's imperative that his cabinet MUST have people of intellectual superiority. Google HR manager said that a company needs to employ persons smarter and intelligent than its founders or directors for it to move forward and churn out new products and innovative services, hence, become profitable.

Moreover, managing a country is like managing a company; where profits and accountability principles must be enshrined. The more reason most of its(Singapore) office holders possess an MBA. Even with the economy downturn globally, Singapore's unemployment rate is below 3%, it's also the 7th least corrupt nation on earth, the second safest city, its airport(Changi) has been the best airport for 4 consecutive years, possesses the second busiest port in the world etc.

Nigeria nay Africa has a long way to go, which is very long even if we have marathoners as leaders.

I don't know the way Nigerians think attimes. Some of the Nigerian leaders have more qualifications than those you are talking about but you ppl don't appreciate them and still they perform rse.
Let me remind you that your vice president is a professor and SAN, your former president is a PHD holder, most your ministers are professors, Barristers(SANs) and technocrats but perform worse.
Also, most of the ministers of finance since independent are technocrats and have more profiles than their counterpart in the mentioned countries.
Read Alison Madueke's profile dor refernce but still her performance was poor, so discuss wisdom not education again

Leadership just like money is not by education but wisdom

Gerrard59:
It will be much better to increase the educational qualification for a post from the abysmally low qualification of the SSCE to Bsc/HND with a addendum that the individual MUST aspire for further education. Most likely a PhD or an MBA.

Our would be leaders need to be educated rationally, and a secular education at that.
One country that has such is Singapore where over 90% of its political office holders possess a higher degree other than their first degree and from Ivy league schools. Where is Singapore today?

I disagree with you.
Abuja not lagos is the most beautiful city in Nigeria
Lagos is too overrated.

The truth about the Yuan issue is that US has pressurized Buhari not to implement the plan because of the fear of competition with China. In return China will not borrow Nigeria any money again that why Buhari is running back world bank to borrow money. This is why CBN is about to devalue Naira indirectly just to favour the US and the World bank.
Therefore US and the World has turned Buhari's China trip meaningless.
