Africa has gone beyond needing saviors or messiahs, at this point, what she needs more than anything are leaders who are capable and are forward thinking, also, the continent is in dire need of leaders who are emotionally intelligent.

Here’s why;

In present-day Africa, there is so much violence and terrorism, which stems from unemployment, illiteracy and indiscriminate births (within rural and poor families).

In situations where Africans have to deal with losing their fellow countrymen on a daily basis to disputes and politically motivated violence as well as terrorism, the people need leaders who feel their pain and are willing to do something about making them more secure in their own land.

The Dictionary defines emotional intelligence as the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.

How many African leaders embody this? Maybe a few, maybe none, but the point is, a leader who cannot empathise with what his/her people are suffering but is locked away in an ivory tower, enjoying the benefits of office while turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the plight of his/her people is not fit to lead. Simple!

Africa needs leaders who are willing to go the extra mile to do what is right to defend human life, regardless of social, religious and ethnic affiliations and to make sure that his/her people are secure and are not being slaughtered like chickens in their own fatherland!

there are very few people in Nigeria who could be in a position of power, and not abuse the system....because sadly, Nigerians are greedy and selfish, therefore unless it is someone who sees beyond enriching himself and his associates, there is no bright future in sight.

out of all the presidential candidates, ALL are affiliated to a party who robbed, is robbing, and will keep on robbing the coffers of Nigeria.
only a selfless billionaire in $$$, who doesnt desire to enrich himself (and has a vision for a brighter future) can solve Nigeria's problem.

a strong person who is NOT afraid to jail the past/present polithieves, someone who can bring back the death penalty and get rid of all the bastards out there who think kidnapping, money ritual, armed robbery, polithieving and/or body part selling is part of the Nigerian culture.
