| Re: Nigeria: Of Rulership And Craniology This makes for depressing reading, but, as a measure of how bad things are, hardly begins to scratch the rot and shame called "Nigeria".
I am wont to insist that, though Nigeria's problem is mostly a leadership problem, it is in some sinister and paradoxical way, equally, if not more, a followership problem. All along the strata of society you find followers who are leaders one way or the other: at work ( private and public), in schools, religious houses and in private homes actively, passionately and persistently trying to out-do each other in destructive and negative leadership.
Again, that "Nigerians" do just as well as any other people or race (including the Arabs) in other fields of human endeavour(outside leadership) points to a bigger problem, a bigger foe -- "Nigeria". There is something about this "geographical expression" that, threatens, even urges us to be bad, to do wrong, to rape her to death.
Its about "Nigeria" - about you and I - not simply the corridors of power.
