Leadership Needs Harshness, If You Want To Be Nice, Go Sell Ice Cream - Shettima by fergie001(mod): 10:01pm On Jun 08
The Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima, has said leadership requires taking harsh decisions and not always on the nice side.

Shettima said “if you want to be a nice man you can go and sell ice cream.”

He made the remark while defending the economic policies of the Tinubu administration.

The Vice President said this on Monday at the Lagos State investment summit.

“If you want to be a nice man, you can go and sell ice cream, but leadership requires you to take very harsh decisions,” Shettima said.

He also praised Lagos State as the economic gateway not only to Nigeria, but to the entire West African sub-region, saying the state provides access to capital, talents, resources and opportunities.

According to Shettima, the macroeconomic policies of the Tinubu government are targeted at restoring market confidence and improving fiscal sustainability.

He noted that President Tinubu has taken the bullet for making critical decisions because the administration understands that the economy the country deserves can’t be built on illusions.

What a calamity in power. You will soon be selling ice cream. Removing subsidy and spending it on yourselves isn't harshness but greed and stupidity.

This one wey this man dey repeat this same thing like a broken record...


He said the same thing specifically about yemi osibanjo.


So someone can't be nice and be a leader? Even when taking those tough decisions you can do it in a humane way that even the followers will understand. You can take tough decisions and cushion the effects for the people.

The chairman and the Councilor jointly called on government and security forces to launch an attack on the “Dajin Natsira” as the bandits never experienced confrontation throughout the history of banditry in Zamfara state.

He's not wrong though.

You can't be a goody little two shoes as a leader. But then, their own harshness has yielded no positive results and has plunged the country into worse economic and security woes, which begs the question, "is it just harshness or wickedness?".

Why won't he talk like this? After all spending 21 billion to build him a befitting residence is part of the harsh decisions.

Is that the reason APC and Tinubu are dealing with Nigerians harshly through terrorism?
Re: Leadership Needs Harshness, If You Want To Be Nice, Go Sell Ice Cream - Shettima by SixSeven: 10:30pm On Jun 08
Indeed, the harshness they gave us, where is it todayhuh The weak Osinbajo's body language for 2 weeks was much effective than Buhari's 8 years. Buhari could not do anything to Babachir Lawal, Osinbajo came in and fired him immediately. Strong man no mean say your head correct, weak man no mean say your mind no correct. We don't need any tough man, none of them will die for us anyway.

This is an example of toughness repost 👇

Tenses:
Solve the insecurity problem so that these "some people" won't have anything to market "their fraud".

Will you??
😁😁😁😁
Alphafarms:
Why do you or tinubu think the oppositions are behind the insecurity?

Because they were part of it before during Jonathan's time, so they are thinking it is what is playing back to them.

I challenge you and Tinubu to uproot these people, since you already know them, all security apparatus is in you guys control, so why crying
This is what they said when they were representing you and I in Senate👇


Senator Oluremi Tinubu scolds Sen. Smart Adeyemi at NASS plenary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5isePNNupFI

During the emotional April 2021 Senate session, Senator Smart Adeyemi stood up to address the floor on Nigeria's worsening national security crisis, declaring that the country was bleeding and that lawmakers could no longer stay silent.

As he passionately urged the government to take drastic action against rampant kidnappings and killings, Senator Oluremi Tinubu interrupted him mid-speech, audibly questioning his party loyalty by asking if he was a wolf in sheep's clothing or a member of the opposition PDP. Adeyemi brushed off the interruption and continued his speech, but the intense, televised exchange between the two APC lawmakers instantly went viral, creating a lasting public association of conflict between Adeyemi and the Tinubu family.


Senator Smart Adeyemi: "Mr. President [of the Senate], insecurity is a serious problem today in Nigeria.... We cannot run away from the fact that, more than ever before in the history of our nation, this is the worst insecurity we have faced since after the Civil War. ...The President must rise to the occasion to resolve the security challenges... If we cannot save the country, then we should shut down the National Assembly and go home. Nigeria is bleeding."

Senator Oluremi Tinubu (Interrupting loudly):
"Are you in PDP? Are you a wolf in sheep’s clothing?"

Senator Smart Adeyemi (Responding immediately):
"Mr. President, I am an APC member. Let me tell you the truth, I am an APC member and I will remain an APC member. But I will tell the truth when it comes to the safety of our country. My people are being killed, and I cannot sit down here and look at what is happening and keep quiet. We cannot pretend that we are capable of handling the situation in our hands. The system has failed, and we must seek foreign assistance."


👆
What they could not solve 5 years ago even when they were not in the majority like you have today, what do you expect them to do differently now that they have all the power? Keep voting and pampering your oppressors. If Senator Tinubu could ask if her fellow APC member was in opposition because he asked for government to accept responsibility and do something, are you surprised with the names they call people on this forum and online? Their leaders do the same thing, so their 5k mob will even be worse.

Idiot, see the stupid mindset? Bloody bandit sympathizer.
Re: Leadership Needs Harshness, If You Want To Be Nice, Go Sell Ice Cream - Shettima by AndroBlaze:
He abused Osibanjo with these same words....telling him to carry his niceness to go sell ice cream.

Now with time we can see who is better and tougher ....is it the ice cream seller that was acting president for just a few days and was taking tough decisions and sacking people who his boss could not, or the one that specialises in running his mouth and abusing people (without ever holding authority for one second, talkless of a day) , while little children are running around making this country ungovernable for him and his boss!

Talk is truly cheap and empty barrels do make the most noise!

Jonathan Slams APC, Says There's "Bitterness In Thier Hearts"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32aKgc0j0Ws

Call him meek, weak and all the names you want to. Nigerians love their oppressors because what in God's name is what I've heard where Nigerians want a 'fighter' to lead them. Now when the fighter de there, who e fight for? Nigerians want someone else to sacrifice themsleves for their own good and when the person emerges, they leave him for their kidnapper.

This was how they said Buhari as a general will change things because he was a soldier only for him to get there and say he wished he was younger. This was how they said Tinubu is the one who can dare the North and face the cabal only for us to hear now that his political enemies are behind insecurity. We don't know what we want, we fantazise it but don't really want it. We have a trauma of pain and we want more of it.


Today people are saying you think Tinubu will leave power like Jonathan? They are reinforcing their slavery. They already believe that elections will not be free and fair. They are even afraid that opposition is divided because they've given their rights away to one man. 1 man vs millions of Nigerians 🤡

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o686pPzpXtU

Jonathan now sounds like a prophet not because he said anything special but because he's not desperate like our career politicians. If we have a strong process, it's very certain Tinubu can never return as president but let's keep pretending while we snatch it, grab it and run away with it under different excuses.

But this man wasn't harsh on one wanted man found in the state House, maybe he was selling ice cream to him. Nigerians 2027 is close, we must do the needful
