Illiteracy, hunger, poverty, and unemployment are among the factors that have over the years impeded development in Nigeria.
Ordinarily, a sizable number of political appointees and officeholders at the Federal and State levels have no business in governance, but for the unreliable mindset of the powers that be.
A leadership that is unable to convincingly put an end to the grievous and heinous activities of cultists and other categories of criminals in several communities in Nigeria, such as Molusi, Solanke, Oyegbami, Olorunsogo, Aluko/Barracks, Felele, Mobil/Yemetu among others in Ibadan, Oyo state, place electoral value on the criminals, while the criminals openly and boastfully express great hopes in such a leadership.
As these criminals continue to organize the end of year dance parties in this period of insecurity and coronavirus pandemic, such a leadership prefers to focus on a surprise birthday party, sadly, not for the benefit of disillusioned Nigerians.
Nigerians now perceive the Government establishment as a place of wastefulness, where nothing works and money is shared with reckless abandon.
Governance in different parts of the country is presently characterized by the perpetration of injustice and a state of fear, killings, kidnappings, and violence.
Those whose antecedents are well known to Nigerians are incapable of bringing about convincing and visible transformation.
leadership has been corrupted and polluted. Leadership is now determined by the cash you have to throw around.
In saner climes, leadership is not for sale, but in Nigeria is presently on the shelf.
The original problems of a human being are food, shelter, and clothing. Nigerians are hungry and those who purchased leadership on the shelf are on the prowl by proxy.
