The most critical problem Nigeria is facing today is leadership challenge that started since the colonial masters left. Leadership remains one of my countries glaring need in this day and age. Nigerians are willing to follow a good vision and leader but most times they have no exposure to a good vision and time leadership. Leadership is not a title or position. Leadership is simply empowering others. After many years of digging into and studying leadership in Nigeria, I have reached several conclusions regarding the future of Nigeria, Nigerians and its leadership. The central conclusion is that Nigeria as a country is marking time due to lack of strong and visionary leaders. In this day and age of unprecedented opportunity and plentiful resources, Nigeria is actually loosing influence and the primary reason is lack of true leaders. Nothing is as important as leadership. Truly, everything rises and falls on leadership. To salvage the leadership problem in Nigeria is everyone’s responsibility. Every Nigerian is a leader no matter the age or location. Bettering Nigeria is not only the work of the presidency but a task for all of us. Necessity is laid upon us in this day and age to better our country Nigeria therefore I challenge you to think of what you can do for the country and not what the country can do for you. If Nigeria fail, you fail and if Nigeria succeeds, you succeed. Equipping the youth for greatness is a panacea to our nation’s problem. Youths are lifeblood of a country. Neglecting them is neglecting the future. Nigerian youths must be in control of the authorship of their destiny. Nigerians must pay now to play later to make the system that drives the progress of our nation’s unity and progress better. Our leaders must know that leadership is not rulership, but the act of service to humanity. Posterity must judge your deeds. When names like nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jnr. are mentioned, what comes into our mind is selfless leadership. Can that be said of you as a Nigerian leader today? As a Nigerian in dispose, you will have more respect and dignity where you are if Nigeria is better. We must pay the price to enjoy the prize of a greater Nigeria. To those running away and nationalizing in other countries, I tell you that we are making Nigeria better and the greatest nation in Africa and a country that is the envy of all nation’s of the world. The success or failure of every country is determined by its leadership. Leadership is not management. Every person in position of authority in Nigeria must know that the law of legacy states that, “true success is measured by succession.” Practice positive transformational leadership. The need of the hour is great. That is why I have dedicated my time to write this article for everyone to read and be outstanding and upstanding. From Aba in Abia state to Ikeduru in Imo state, Ogbia in Bayelsa state to Ajegunle in Lagos state and Abuja the center of our great country, where you are and from, no matter your religion, ethnicity or language we are one big family. Nigeria – good people; great nation. I am proudly a Nigerian. Rule your world!
