Leaders are those entrusted with the will and mandate of a society to lead them, but this don't just happened the leader must have shown character and proof to a greater portion of the society they tend to lead that they have what it takes to lead them
Leadership is so important that many including the first world countries have come to the conclusion that everything falls on leadership, infact any country that is progressing and making impact in the world is not by magic as the development and the progress of any society is a function of leadership
Much emphasis has been placed on the leader but we fail to understand that followers also contribute to the development of society. The people who complain about their leaders might perform waste if they also get the same leadership position. An example is the recent increase in the price of petroleum products in my country. Many traders used the excuse of increase fuel and diesel price to overprice their goods because they want to make profit. Corruption has eaten deep into some societies that you can hardly find people who have financial integrity. Another example are people who vandalise public utilities which cost millions to set up because the want to make money. Those vandals are not government but followers. We all know bad leadership contributes greatly to the underdevelopment of countries but bad followers also have some impact.
Leadership is the starting point of any country if you want your society to change and be like your dream societies then try to change the leaders that you have
Infact what ever you can't conceive in your mind you can't translate it to reality this is the story of the undeveloped countries as their leaders can't not dream of them having twenty four hours electricity, that is still why most African countries are still in darkness, third world countries leaders have not dream of their countries being self sufficient that is why they still go and borrow from countries that their own countries is more blessed with both human and natural resources than
Let discuss leadership guys what do you think
The founding fathers of many countries in Africa had great visions about their country and Africa at large but they were limited by neo-colonialism, military coups, corruption and civil wars. Leaders like Francis Nkrumah, Jomo Nze Kenyatta, Thomas Nsidor Sankara, Kenneth Buziya Kounda and Nelson Madibo Mandela knew that Africa would be a great continent if they became united. But the current crop leaders are just criminals who are looking for what to gain and what the people will benefit from.
