My people with the whole economic struggles going on. I really think if we can have better leadership. Nigeria would get to the next level.our basic desire as Nigerian is good leadership. If the people at the top. Could take up their responsibilities and do what they campaign on their manifestos, it would go along way in reducing this current struggles Nigerian are going through. Our country is blessed, we just need a better and a selfless leadership. One that would stand for the masses and build a stable structure by investing on human capitalism. Rather than enriching themselves.
The success and failure of every country starts from leadership. From history, many countries such as China, Singapore, Rwanda, and others have had their turning point as a result of the input of a leader who love their country and have decided to put the country first above their personal ambitions. I think the love for country is the first quality that makes a great leader because it is this love that will make you not do things that will damage the country and her citizens.
unfortunately, we do not have people that love Nigeria in leadership positions. What we have as leaders here are businessmen who see leadership as just a business deal, a way to enrich themselves. Election is seen as investment and they are ready to spend any money to win. They are ready to kill and do all manner of things to ensure the enter office because they know that whatever they invested, they will recover it with some profits.
Leaders that love their countries will strengthen the institutions so that they will protect the law of the country and ensure it is not abused. On the other hand, leaders that have no love for their country will do their best to find loopholes to weaken their institution, appropriate to themselves so much power so that they are stronger than the institutions that should checkmate them. This bring to mind the saying that "power corrupt, absolute power corrupt absolutely".
Until we have leaders who love Nigeria, who will not destroy the very fabrics that make us a country, leaders that will pursue nationhood and not just geographical enclave, we should not expect anything to change. We can only hope for the messiah.
