Failure of leadership in Nigeria

This paper argues in defence of the thesis that the leadership failure Nigerians experience is not the fault of their stars but the fault of leaders and the led alike. Nigerians should not abandon themselves to fate. The efficient leadership Nigerians are in dire need of, will remain a mirage except the leaders and the led, change their attitude to politics and politicking. The first step towards changing this attitude, the paper argues, is to carefully identify the causes of misrule in Nigeria. One’s degree of success in articulating strategies for efficient leadership, is determined by one’s degree of success in discovering the possible causes of misrule. As a nation, the accuracy of Nigerians in identifying the causes of misrule in Nigeria and their sincerity in redressing misrule in Nigeria, have serious implications for the efficient leadership that Nigerians are in dire need of, the Paper argue
