Wrong Decisions and Leadership

Image
Human capacity development is key to the development of any country in the world. To achieve development, the appropriate manpower that will impact positively on society is imperative. What is the standard of education? There are yet to be positive changes in primary, secondary and tertiary education. This is because maximum efficiency and productivity in the system are elusive. The hunger and poverty in the land have impaired skill acquisition at all levels of education to the extent that it has negatively affected the decision of the leaders at the center and states of the federation. The wrong decision by the leadership at a particular point in time resulted in the kidnap incident at Chibk, Borno state. The effects of the kidnap is alive till this moment. Such leadership has been tested and discovered to be faulty. Indeed. The last seven years are enough to ensure that wrong decisions are not made again, to avoid a repeat of the gory and harrowing experiences of Nigerians. Note ...

Eligibility, Competence and Governance

Image
Controversies surrounding certificates of some Nigerians with political ambitions has up to this moment not attracted the attention of Those-in-Authority for obvious reasons. However, Nigerians expect those involved to convincingly extricate themselves from the web already knitted around them. Sadly, the media, perhaps, for pecuniary reasons, is complicit in the covert efforts not to get to the root of the controversies. Indeed, a lot is wrong with the system which can be seen in the sorry state of all sectors of the economy. The failure to acquire qualitative education results in incompetence, mediocrity and ignorance, just as it has become glaring among the youth that education is no longer the means to ends. Furthermore, it is worrisome to note that even though background checks were conducted on most political office holders, the results of such checks have not been mad to have impact on various political offices in the land. The outcome is the failure to meet the expectatio...

Courage in the Face of Adversity

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest...

Learning from Living Examples

Image
Nigerians have persistently failed to learn from history. There are a number of living examples who attained higher heights through the efforts of others. And in the process of consolidation, side tracked all those who were responsible for their ascendency. The living examples have now become part of history. Sadly, the present occupiers of the higher heights have continually introduced artificial crises to justify the billions of Naira that have been frittered away under the guise of securing lives and property, on a monthly basis. Contracts for the supply of vehicles were facilitated without due process, while such vehicles are not worth the value attached to them. Who are the contractors? The poor state of infrastructure, particularly roads, contradicts the humongous amount reported to have been committed to fixing the roads. In addition, hunger, poverty and the high rate of unemployment are now policies the government at all levels apply in governance. Several shuttles abroad ...
