NIGERIA: THE SLEEPING GIANT & HER STYLE OF LEADERSHIP
Africa has a muddled process of throwing up or producing her leaders. Manipulative selection, manipulative election, manipulative hand picking or anointing constitutes some of the ways that leaders emerge or are imposed on Africans.
And because they have emerged through a skewed process and they themselves being skewed characters brandishing agendas that emanated from the pit of destruction, such leaders true to type offer skewed leadership. Such men fail grandiosely as leaders.
Nigerians fledgling democracy has created a “class of crass” from the remnant of military dictatorship - leeches and parasites who feed fat on the resources of the nation. People, who kill, main, engage in rituals, occultist, forgers, perjurer, bribe givers and takers who manipulate and steal votes to get into positions of trust and leadership.
There are also those who curry favour, lobby, name drop, hobnob to gain favour and positions they do not merit. There are also lackeys and cronies who are dispensed with “juicy” contracts and offices as settlements for jobs well done by their benefactors.
It is a democracy dotted with villains, fascist, convicts, known or indicted thieves who have put on a garb of democrats in flowing gowns and now calling the shots.
Nigeria’s “class of crass” is hedonistic, materialistic and worship money; they live in stupendous influence and splendor to the detriment of the people they claim to lead. They are “islands of wealth in the ocean of poverty”.
The moment they occupy positions of trust and leadership at any level, they soon settle down to steal, loot, misappropriate, embezzle, fraudulently acquire and corruptly enrich themselves and their unborn children and grand children. They abuse power and authority at the expense of their country and people they pretend to lead.
It is a legacy deeply entrenched and perfected by every generation of leaders that come and go. It is a leadership bereft of purpose, urgency, structured and rigorous thinking, and sense of all hands on deck, compassion, freedom, collective welfare, patriotism, equity, justice, poise and dignity. It is a retrogressive and wicked leadership.
Unfortunately we have failed to understand that a docile follower-ship that permits these effrontery and bastardization will pay dearly for tolerating such rape and assault on their collective well being.
A follower-ship that worships money, who elevate materialism to the place of deity, a people who are morally bankrupt and lacking a sense of natural justice and godly values, a people who do all sorts to build fortune such as ritual killings, fake drug merchandising / dealership, narcotic peddling etc will surely be bedeviled with diseases, poverty, greed, lack, self-centeredness, underdevelopment, unemployment, inflation, infrastructural decay, ethnic bigotry, religious fatalism, economic hardship, disjointed growth, arrested development, wickedness, inhumanity, intellectual shallowness, political instability and party prostitution, pen and armed robbery and many evil and vices.
Take a close look at Nigeria and other African countries; it is the same story - you would bewail and exclaim or cry in anguish.
Cheer up! For as long as the day is called today and almighty God is still on His throne. The enemies of God’s people and continent will wither like grass and be blown away like chaff. There is a sure hope for Africa and her peoples. Rejoice for thy King, Lord and Saviour cometh! He won’t delay!
