I think the time has come for the Nigerian society to ask questions on the worth and value of leadership that we want for our nation. It makes no rational thinking that as a nation, so much is invested and appropriated by leadership and at the end of the day we castigate each other about incompetence, abuse of public office and unaccountable stewardship.
Judging by the political campaign documentaries, Nigeria may have continued on a downward descent to anarchy and lawlessness captured by the phrase "corruption", "dictatorship" "unconstitutional acts" and "indiscipline"...
Nigerians are the only people to change the direction of the leadership by soberly reflecting on the quality and credibility of all the candidates aspiring for elective offices. From the councillors to the presidential candidates.
We may never have the opportunity to confront these challenges if we miss out on the opportunity offered to us by the elections. Let's take our destiny on our hands.
Vote with your Conscience and talk to your Neighbour.
The amount of resources Nigeria spends in maintaining public office holders is so huge even with a declining economy. No wonder every one wants a political office as a compensation for supports rendered to political leaders, It is an open fact that the remuneration of political officers and their aids in Nigeria are unprecedented and because the beneficiaries are well connected each time to the persons in powers the courage to check these unfortunate development is lacking
What is of serious concern is that the intellectual contents of some of the Nigerians in leadership positions have failed to meet our collective dreams and aspirations. The quality and quantity of their services are far bellow the resources allocated. The accounting and statutory due diligence check system have become so weak and compromised.
If therefore a sustainable awareness can be created, we can use the privilege and opportunity offered to us by elections to sieve out these compromised and unproductive elements from accessing our resources and the nations wealth. We should be able to set a culture and lesson in leadership driven by value, accountability and productivity. Until such a time, we will continue to bear the burden and liability of the UNAFFORDABLE CEO's in the corridors of power.
