DRS QUARTERS: NIGERIA AND ITS 51 YEARS .....a leadership story

As the clock ticks towards the marking of yet another independence day i ask myself whats the use? its not as if we have something worthwhile to celebrate rather we have something to mourn the death of another leader im speaking of course in a literal manner what pains me most is that after 51 years we still havent gotten things right 51 years gosh what eggheads we are!!!! first and foremost for you to understand my tirade and debacle lets imagine this country is a process design plant and in it we have groups of supervisors to produce a final product called LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE as the process begins there is a plan to guide it lets call it  CONSTITUTION and well it is outdated and flawed yet it can still hold together the operation the foreman and his team here we call HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY gather to make amendments weekly to suit the already dilapidated structure yet it still looks in adept the analyst is called to look at the machines yearly called MINISTERS AND ADVISERS yet they still do not know the cause finally they report to Headquarters here denoted as the PRESIDENCY to complain but due to lack of Human resource the same thing repeats itself continually. that's the sorry state our country is in where things do not seem to work and if we keep on sweeping this specks beneath the carpet it becomes extremely hard we cannot kid ourselves anymore our system is faulty and every good engineer knows that once a system is bad it must be replaced immediately full parts and all this is what must be done now let me explain my analogy in a way i wont lose you.

LEADERSHIP AND NIGERIA
 one will agree with me that a good leader often reflects the countries presence in the global community a good leader will show a productive country  and a bad leader vice versa now what happens when a country has no leader? answer the country is shown to be vile,corrupt,incompetent, and wasteful now take a close look at this country and ask yourself aren't we all these thing in one package true we have our moments but it often doesnt last rather our woes are broadcasted for the world to see imagine 51 years of illiterates who have ruled us all of them how do you think our country will progress until we get our selection process right we still remain stupid in the eyes of the West , our president cannot even articulate his speech it just gives a bad vibe we still have not gotten a truly EDUCATED president and i dont think we may until the idiots up there see reason for learned peeps to take ova we are but helplessin the hands of the system now there are 2 sides to this the pro side and the anti side well the pro side argues that the country's image is being killed by us because we havent yeyt been able to understand the system while the anti side disagrees they point to every area that has suffered under incompetence in the country .

back to my analogy when an engineer sees that parts have to be replaced he calls in his team and identifies the problem and immediately orders such problem to be cut but when he lives that site the workers due to the fact they have been working round the clock become restless and go on a mutiny destroying works that where made good (OUR CURRENT SECURITY SITUATION) because they are pawns and wish to be heard the engineer rather than use HR skills fires dem what happens next is in our imaginations only.......

we can continue to rant with no effect until two thigs are in place
1. a tax payer system and internal rvenue scheme that is deviod of corrupt mechanism

2. a public bureau institute that teaches government officials how to manage and also creates tracking tools open for public knowledge as well as delivery and citizen interactions with them

this enables WE the laymen to be able to communicate effectively our desire and criticisms that can develop the country when we see on TV that the EFCC have arrested public officials suspected of stealing and mishandling billions of naira i laugh inside this cannot happen in civilzed countries its either this officials are prosecuted n killed ( in china) or they are sentenced to heavy fines and jailed but here we see meagre sum paid and they walk free there have been so many cases which brings me to a question " how effective is the body in bringing to justice this corrupt men?" " are they given jurisdictiobn and access to files liker the FBI does?" " are they used as a weapon to cause fear by the ruling party or something else?" these questions need to be addressed and looked at critically , as they say power corrupts totally it is left for them to take the initiative to lead by example i just hope that in the coming few years we have a TRUE LEADER and not a Ruler in this country .


the engineer always make sure his structure last for up to 30 years this is the strength of such material let us hope that our material can be sustainable pls join me next time as we take a look at NIGERIA AND 419 REASONS to be HERE.
