DEAR POLITICIAN: BE THE LEADER YOU SWORE TO BE!


DEAR POLITICIAN: BE THE LEADER YOU SWORE TO BE!

 WHO IS A LEADER?

  “If your actions inspire
others to dream more,
learn more, do more
and become more,
you are a leader.”
~ John Quincy Adams

 A good leader is a trailblazer, leading the way for others to follow. When you Inspire your followers to reach higher, Dream Bigger and achieve great things, You qualify to be called a Great Leader. 

Has President Mohammadu Buhari and the APC been Inspirational in Leading this Nation? Analyst are of the opinion that PMB and APC failed in providing the needed leadership but are also doing a lot of damage to the psyche of future leaders. Any politician that fail to deliver on their electoral promises can blame the previous administration and it will suffice as performance. A State Governor who fails to pay salaries like Ogbeni  Rauf Aregbesola is an achiever. How? Blame GEJ for his inability to provide quality leadership in Osun State, earn the applause of the Party and even be allowed to pick your successor. A very wrong precedent, if you ask me

All pretensions aside, three and a half years of Blame and excuses will only excite the shallow minded, the  greedy and the gullible. The APC has gone ahead to demonstrate to Nigerians, especially the lazy youths that hard work does not pay. You can be an achiever like Ambode as long as the Interest of the party leadership is not served, you are shown the exit door. Painful.

 Mark Twain in a letter to W. D. Howells, September 14, 1875 stated inter Alia; “In truth I care little about any party’s politics – the man behind it is the important thing” Many Nigerians share this view and are greatly disappointed in the outcome of the Lagos State Primaries and its predetermined outcome.

 “If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.” ~ Dwight D. Esienhower, in a speech, March 6, 1956
Does that sound like the APC?
Let’s discuss!

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
