Antiquity has it that there have always been misconceptions of what leadership entails. Different kinds of people, at different point in history, have disguised themselves under the umbrella of leadership. Majority has played this important role in the society because of egocentrism. According to Thomas Hobbes,” human beings by nature are animalistic and selfish.”Therefore, following this postulation, it should no longer be news that the actions of our so called leaders will remain odious to us.
It is pertinent to ascertain that most of the conflicts in Nigeria are a result of faulty leadership. The climax of it all is that leadership position has become a thing that does not obey ethical norms any more. In short, it has turned to a “do or die” affair. Come to think of it, those that turned leadership position to a “do or die” affair, did they actually understand the meaning of leadership? The critical question here is how “good leaders emerge? This will remain a question that even the critical minds cannot answer holistically because human beings are agents of change. We are ambivalent in nature. As a result, we remain unpredictable.

It is no longer in dispute that poor financial system practices is the fundamental cause of the current global economic crisis, which has manifested in the reduction of new investments to almost zero level, the collapse of the stock market, increasing unemployment with attendant lack of effective demand. There is hardly any aspect of the economy that has been adversely affected be it financial, real estate, manufacturing or service sectors. Indeed like a fast spreading virus, the financial meltdown which originated from America has permeated every economy to the extent of their interconnectedness to the international financial system.
When the crucial role of the financial system in the development of any economy and in particular function as mobilizer of savings and promoter of investment and in helping in the preservation of the overall balance in the economy is appreciated, the necessity for effective regulation of the operations of the financial institutions becomes imperative.

Every individual is important, irrespective of the abilities the individual possess, be it physical or mental. Everyone is unique in his or her contribution to the progress of the world. Just like the parts of the body, which rely on each other to function properly, likewise the ability and strength of people in this world?
It is very unfortunate that some people in this world did not get the right physical appearance that nature proposed for every human being. Some people have to go on in life without some of their body parts in the right order to make them function properly. Some live without hands, legs, sight, voice or sense of hearing, making them physically impaired, or sometimes called people with disability. In whichever situation they find themselves, they make it a point to be useful to themselves and to society in so many ways. Even though some of these physically impaired capitalize on their disability, and go about the streets begging for alms, society must make it a point to help those who have decided not to be a burden, but rather strive to make themselves useful.

The Nigerian Bishops under the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of Nigerian have in one voice condemned the deteriorating social situations in Nigeria, adding that the country has continued to suffer under the weight of corruption, and our people live in fear because of insecurity of life and property. The Bishops made this observation in a Communiqué issued at the end of the Second Plenary Meeting of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) at the Centre of Transfiguration Kafanchan, Kaduna State between September 7th to 12th, 2009.The Communiqué which was titiled:”Conversion for Justice and Reconciliation” was jointly signed by its Chairman, Most Rev.Felix Alaba Job, the archbishop of Ibadan and Most Rev.Dr.Alfred Martin of Abeokuta.
The Bishops reaffirmed the observation they made on the distress of the nation in their communiqué at the conclusion of the 2nd Plenary in 1997 where they stated then:” The social ills of armed robbery,violent,official corruption, deteriorating infrastructure, falling standard of education and health care, have continued unabated to such an extent that the quality of life of most Nigerians has degenerated to a level that is below human dignity”, nothing that twelve years later, indices of distress abound in our country. Continuing the Bishops unequivocally stated.” The evil of corruption has made of us an improvised people inhabiting a land of immense riches .The level of poverty in our land and the problem of insecurity go hand in hand. Strike actions embarked upon by numerous associations and unions in the country, are further signals of a country in distress and in dire need of direction”. The bishops call on the leaders of the nation to formulate policies that would alleviate the suffering of the masses.
Lamenting on the level of unemployment among our youths, the Bishops noted,” The collapse of infrastructure has a negative impact on economic activities. When the economy is in turmoil, millions of young Nigerians cannot be gainfully employed. Perceiving their country, Nigeria, as a country that dashes their hopes, many of such young people end up on the payroll of people who arm them to be political thugs, kidnappers, or armed robbers. Many others are used by state and local government in this country to extort money from Nigerians such that traveling from one local government to another has become a nightmare, an adventure in paying sundry tolls”. The Bishops therefore appealed to the government to create employment for our youths.
Also, in the Communiqué, the Bishops recognize that corruption is not only at the higher levels of public life.” It is also found at the lower levels of our life: from the filling station attendant who tampers with the dispensing machines, the messengers or clerk who hide files, the stockbroker who manipulates the markets, the policeman or woman who extorts money from citizen, the banker who defrauds shareholders and customers of his bank, the judge who fiddles with justice, the lawyer who sells out his client, the politician who rigs elections, the teacher who solicits favours from students, the student who cheats while writing an examination, the religious leaders or preacher who manipulates the people in the place of worship for his own purpose, the farmer or seller of farm produce who hides rotten foodstuffs under fresh ones, the hawker in traffic who runs away with your change” and invite Nigerians to totally change their attitudes and such a change must be personal and collective for the good of the society.
The Bishops finally call on the citizens to submit to God from the depths of their hearts as the human heart is the sanctuary of the Spirit of God so that the human person can be recreated in the image of the Son of God.” When we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, our worship will please God, and our actions will be acceptable in his sight. Then shall we be just to God and our neighbor, and then shall peace and justice reign amongst us in our land”, the Bishops conclude.

Religion has a central and unique role in society and its development, according to the former prime minister of England. Tony Blair, a convert to Catholicism, spoke with L’Osservatore Romano about his faith in an exclusive interview.” My spiritual journey began when I started to go to Mass with my wife”, Blair said.” Then we decided to baptize our children in the Catholic faith. It was a journey that lasted 25 years, or perhaps more. In time, emotionally, intellectually and rationally it seemed to me that the Catholic home was the right one for me. When I left political office, and I no longer had the entire context connected with been prime minister, it was something I really wanted to do”.
Blair added that religion has brought him closer to his wife.” We did not meet because of religion, but it was very interesting to discover that my wife was very active in Catholic student organization and in other youth organization,” he recalled.” For young people 23 or 24 years old, when we met, it was rather unusual to discover a shared interest in religion.”
Blair affirmed that in addition to his wife’s influence, an experience with Pope John II helped him move toward Catholicism. He attended a mass celebrated by the Holy Father in his private chapel.” It is still a very vivid memory, an episode that impressed me very much,” Blair recounted.”Certainly,it is quite probable that, in any event, I would have come to my conversion but,undoubtedly,it was an important stage that ultimately reinforced my decision.
“One of the things that have most attracted me to the Catholic Church is her universal nature. If you are a Catholic, you can go anywhere in the world and attend mass. I was at Mass in Kigali, Beijing, Singapore…The fact that wherever you are, you are in communion with others is really formidable. The universal Church herself is an important model of a global institution.” The British politician is now dedicated to promoting the Tony Blair Foundation for inter-religious dialogue, which is especially active in Africa and the Middle East. As to whether being a Catholic is an advantage in his activity in the Middle East, Blair responded:”Honestly,I’ve never considered it a problem.Never.On the contrary, I often think that, in the modern world, the fact of being a person of faith enhances one’s capacity to relate to persons of other creeds. It’s true, sometimes the opposite happens—one meets with strong opposition. However, given that today, factors of secularization subject faith to a harsh and aggressive attack, in the end what happens is that people of different creeds sometimes become allies.”
Blair praised Benedict XVI’s encyclical “Caritas in Veritate,”saying it should be “read and re-read.” He particularly highlighted the Pope’s affirmation that “the Christian religion and other religions can make mean that debates and confrontations will end. On the contrary, it will continue on many subjects in regards to which, probably, the church will be on one side and political leaders on the other.”However, I don’t think this is the main point: The point is that faith has every right to enter in this space and to speak. It must not be silent.” The voice of faith must not be absent from the public debate.
Finally, L’Osservatore Romano spoke with Blair about his personal experience as a father. He said it is a role that has to be taken “with responsibility and without arrogance.”
No matter how good or intelligent I thought I was, I always found that to be a father was something very difficult. And I still think so,” he reflected. Blair affirmed that fathers are “crucial” figures in the family,”essential”for children’s growth and formation. And he contended that “in certain aspects, the idea of family is being recovered.” Also in this area I believe that religious communities and the Church have a role to play,” Blair said.” It’s true, families have their problems, they disintegrate—something that I fear will continue to happen. How ever, I have always thought that the Church’s indications in the matter of the family were useful.
“Lets be clear: to make a marriage work calls for effort and, I believe, paternity also calls for it. But I really think that, among the great changes that are taking place, also in the social realm, it is necessary to rediscover that paternity is a responsibility and a necessity.
