IamDejman:
The followers encouraged him to contest. The followers campaigned heavily for him. For Buhari to survive and excel, he needs the help of his followers.

no Matter the plan he tries to execute, if the followers are not in support then it will go to the bin early
I believe the followers bought into his theory and manifesto and they believed in him as a man of his word who is ready to take RESPONSIBILITY for whatever change he has to offer them and not blaming his failure on other people.....

in this line, it still brings us to the fact that leaders are responsible for change...

IamDejman:
There our problem lies, followers fail to recognize their power. They fail to know that, truly, the change we need can only happen through them.

Followers need to step up their game, and know that they, only, have the produce the effective change Nigeria needs
see, the leaders are responsible for the change because they themselves decided to run for a stake in power, they just need to convince the followers to trust in them...

it wasn't the followers who dragged buhari from his home to run for president.....was it?

IamDejman:
“I would like to end my address this morning on our agenda for CHANGE. Change does not just happen. You and I and all of us must appreciate that we all have our part to play if we want to bring change about. We must change our lawless habits, our attitude to public office and public trust. We must change our unruly behaviour in schools, hospitals, market places, motor parks, on the roads, in homes and offices. To bring about change, we must change ourselves by being law-abiding citizens.” Extract from the Speech delivered by President Muhammad Buhari on the occasion of the 55th Independence Day of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen, I am IamDejman representing Lagos state university and here to stand on the motion that for a Nigeria to have an effective change, it is the sole responsibility of the followers. When we say an effective change, we stand to say that it means the act or process through which something becomes different successfully. I Change is ubiquitous in any society, particularly in that which strives to fulfill human needs. And it takes a committed followers to accomplish a propitious change in a society.

Overtime, Nigeria has undergone four different democratic elections and yet the country cannot pinpoint a significant thing in its environs. Before the year 1999, we were classified with Countries like China, Singapore but today reverse is the case as these countries and more have left us behind and today our nation is in a state of hullabaloo.

For 16 years, we were under the democratic reign of the People's Democratic Party and we had President Olusegun Obansanjo from 1999-2007, President Musa Yar’dua from 2007-2010 and the so called Ineffectual Buffoon (The Economist) President Ebele Jonathan from 2010-2015. During the lavish democratic reign of President Ebele Jonathan, a party emerged called the All Progressive Congress which brought out a mind blowing campaign slogan – CHANGE. They preached, campaigned and brainwashed Nigerians with the Change mantra and they had their candidates elected across board majorly. They became the majority and ruling party. But almost a year, Nigerians still search for an effective change. The mistake we did was believe that our leaders are solely responsible for out effective change. We thought for Our own great and dear country to witness effective change, we just have to be lazy and our leaders will deal with that. NO!

We have to admit, Yes we need an effective change but we must recognize that we followers must determine that. A good leader is one with followers because the followers are those who must take charge and make sure for the implementation of the brilliant idea presented by the Followers. Followers of Jesus Christ allowed Christianity a household religion today, Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W.) never single handedly promoted Islam but his followers made sure the religion spread as much as it can. Back to our current President Buhari, when he was elected as the nominee of the All progressive Congress, his followers made sure the change mantra was adequately preached and campaigned for and today he is President and garnered 15 million plus votes just because he had good followers.

Today, I speak to the follower in Nigeria reading this today, I speak to the common man that believes Nigeria is getting harder to survive in; for us to have an effective change in our Country, we need you. The leaders will try to make life changing policies, we need you to follow and implement them. Our leaders will formulate laws, rules and regulations for the upliftment of the security situations of our country , if we refuse to obey and follow it then the leader have failed. The leaders are nothing without the followers and the followers are responsible for the success of the leaders.
if the followers are responsible for the success of the leader, why do they still turn to blame the leader for failing shouldn't they accept responsibility....

Good day Mr. Chairman, erudite judges, the coordinators, the moderators, accurate time
keeper, distinguished audience.

my name is TopeQs, representing Futminna. I'm here to support the notion that the effective change Nigeria truly needs is the sole responsibility of the leaders...

First, we need to understand what a leader does and what a follower is expected to do..
A team leader is someone who provides
guidance, instruction, direction and leadership
to a group of other individuals (the team) for
the purpose of achieving a key result or
group of aligned results. The team lead
reports to a project manager (overseeing
several teams).
A follower on the other side is someone who has beliefs in another person's ability to lead and the follower trust, follow and support the person who lead.
My definition of team leader above makes use understand that the the team leader has a purpose which is achieving a key result. The result we're talking about here is CHANGE, in this country Nigeria.
The definition above is according to Wikipedia.
Effective change Nigeria truly needs is the sole responsibility of our leaders, Nigeria is a country that practice a system of democracy which involves the voting in of a leader, before the full voting process the one who wants to be voted in as a leader will highlight the problem the country is facing so that he can use it as a plan during his campaign because he understand the fact that it is the leader who can effectively bring change to the nation through their work and action.

However, Some would argue that the change Nigeria need is from the followers because they are the one to vote a leader but the followers might as well vote in a bad leader and the followers would suffer the consequences because it is only the leader who can effectively implement the good change Nigeria truly needs. If this leader fails to make a good change it will affect everyone dragging us back to the fact that any kind of change that we need as a nation is solely the responsibility of the leader.
But the effective change Nigeria needs isn't directly the sole responsibility of the leader, the leader also have other responsibilities to improve the nation, there are a lot of other aspect in which the leader needs to implement the nation, like the fall economy, the currency and the rate of corruption and so on.
Furthermore, A leader has to be diverse, effective change isn't the only responsibility, representation of the nation, stabilising the Nigerian economy, appointing capable hands as the ministers and making key appointment in the national chambers.
Conclusively, the effective change Nigeria need is the sole responsibility of the leaders.

Thank you.

You seem not to understand my question well, the person is working but still earn so little how then would such person afford the high fees of distance learning, don't you think the aim of establishing the institution is defeated if the unlearned can't afford it.
such person has to be ready for it........education isn't that cheap, it comes with a price which one must be ready to pay, but still not all distant learning institutions are very expensive, some polytechnics allow payment of more than one installment, take federal poly, Ede, osun state as an example.
so one has to find out about such schools and take advantage of it....

Well done TopeQs, nice piece you have got there.
You seem to have stressed more on working class people who still want to be educated , now my question is how will someone working with an O level, earning so low be able to afford the high Distance or Open university fees ?
for someone with O level, there are distance learning courses that are been taught only on weekends, for someone like that, they have to work part time during the week and sponsor themselves for the weekends schooling.

Education › Re: Nairaland Interschool Debate Third edition winner 4: Futminna by TopeQs:
Good day Mr. Chairman, erudite judges, the coordinators, the moderators, accurate time
keeper, distinguished audience.

my name is TopeQs, representing Futminna. I'm here to support the notion that Open University (or Online University or Distant Learning) is the panacea to Nigeria's Literacy Challenges. Before I go any further, I'll like to explain what is, distance learning is a method of studying in which lectures are broadcast or lessons are conducted by correspondence, without the student needing to attend a school or college, and according to Wikipedia, distance education or distance learning is the education of students who are not physically present at a
school. Courses that are conducted partly through distance education and partly on-site are referred to as hybrid or blended education.
Distance education solve a lot when it comes to improving literacy challenges. It makes it easier for a determined learner, especially the working class ones, to be able to split his/her tight schedule to be able to get learning

Moreover, this distance learning also helps those whose only chance of getting a degree is the internet as it reduces the cost of this type of education sometimes as it becomes easier to get a degree from a foreign university, here in Nigeria through the internet. .

According to a research in the UK. . Benefits of Distance Learning
Attaining a higher education qualification opens up new opportunities in life and at work. Our students tell us that they have achieved promotions, pay rises, increased confidence or job security. All as a result of studying their qualification via distance learning. Here are a few of the benefits you can also achieve:
1. A UK university qualification that is held in high esteem worldwide.
2. Flexibility to balance work, life and your studies together.
3. Up to 60% less academic fees than UK universities and other distance learning providers.
4. Significant career return on investment as you do not have to take a break from work to study.
5. Contextualise your learning and put theory into practice in the workplace – an extremely attractive attribute to employers.
6. Browse all your learning materials, access discussion forums and interact with fellow students and tutors whenever and wherever you choose. Access everything you need via your iPhone, iPad or Kindle, using ilearn – RDI’s virtual learning environment.
7. Employer commendation for your ability to focus and apply yourself, and for the valuable work experience you have gained throughout your studies.
8. Share knowledge and experience with students across the globe, building your professional network.
9. Membership of the International Management Academy and all the career-enhancing benefits that go with this worldwide academic community.
10. Tap into Professional Career Pathways that help you map out your career goals and achieve them.

However The main advantage of distance learning is that it allows you to fit your
learning around your work and home life. You can usually also set your own pace of study. It is your decision as to when and where you study. It doesn't matter where you live – you can gain a degree from anywhere in the world.

Studying by distance learning has the benefit of allowing you to develop your career without having to leave employment. It also means that you can apply new knowledge and insights to your working life while you are still studying, with many students choosing to tackle work-related topics in their dissertations.

Distance learning in Nigeria increases literacy, time has always been a thing everybody don't seem to have much of so when we get to work, school at the same time it also.helps very much as people who claim the reason they do not So want to go back to school is because they do not wanna quit their job, then distance learning comes in to that effect.
