Nigeria Leaders : Average Managers and not Leaders

Both leader and the led have the responsibility of bringing Nigeria to unlimited greatness and rich fulfillment. Everybody have a part to play. Our success as a nation falls back to leadership. Our greatest enemy, challenge, and the clog in our wheel of progress is bad leadership.

Our leaders have failed to motivate and influence the led to strive for success through creativity and dynamic ideas. But have succeeded in coming up with an idea coined “Leadership for Personal Gain”. Nigeria is a nation that is not fully living and fulfilling its purpose, because we have leader that think of today’s glory, and forget about the future of generation unborn.

Leaders that believed in “Long Leg” and forgot about Legacy; leaders that are motivated by self promotion and forgot about selfless promotion; Leaders that their vision is blindfolded. The success of Nigeria rest on leadership, Nigeria is suffering from Leadership Deficiency Syndrome (LDS). Our leadership orientation in Nigeria is about position and disposition. Our leadership system is about self and not the people. Our leadership system is about managing the already existing process that exist from the day of our independence. We have succeeded all these years in having average managers as leaders managing Nigeria, and not leaders because; our past leaders have succeeded in administrating, and not innovating. They are the copy of the former, not original. They maintain what already exists in the country, and refuse to develop new things or policy.

Our past leaders have relied on the control they have, and never did anything that inspires trust; they have short range view, and not long range perspective. They have always succeeded in asking how and when, but refuse to ask what and why; they have eyes on the bottom line, but never have eyes on the horizon. They have succeeded in imitating, and did not originate anything for the people. They have also succeeded in being the classical good soldier, but not their own real person or personality. They always do things right, but never do the right things. I have discovered that all along, we have average managers who excelled in portraying themselves as leaders, who with lack of wisdom, knowledge, understanding and exposure, have directed the affairs of Nigeria to failure.

Nigerian, what we need is leaders and not average manager.
