Effects of Institutional Indiscipline

Leadership training for every human to be fit for governance must be based on these three keywords, competence essence, good work attitude, and ability to be responsive in taking responsibilities. Each one of them lacking in any person voted for or appointed would manifest greatly in the areas of efficiency rating for performances. Under this condition, if not checked, the environment would become charged negatively into that of institutional indiscipline which would make leaders and followers witness orgies of transgression, crimes, and endemic corruption.
This is exemplified in Proverbs 25: 28,'' A person that cannot control himself is like a city without walls to protect it.'' Would Nigerians and the Government learn from this on time?
The Holy Quran put straight the quality and standard for good governance as expressed in the Holy Quran  38: 26, using King David as head of Government that must receive and follow this admonition of the essence of good governance for the people's wellness to be achieved in order that there is peace, security, and sustainable development.
The Holy Quran  38: 26 refers,'' Oh David! We did indeed make the vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men and truth and justice: nor follow thou the lust of thy heart, for it will mislead thee from the path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the path of Allah, is a Chastisement Grievous for that, they forget the day of account''.
Expectedly, Nigerian leaders who are either Christians or Muslims or from other faith-based organizations need to justify their adherence to their religious claim upon been evaluated, be in compliance with the above-stipulated governance standard and guide. This is because by ben fair upon evaluation in government, King David was blessed with a good successor, who even excelled him in performance and achievements, King Solomon who ruled by knowledge, wisdom, and a discerning mind.
Unfortunately, Nigeria's profile of governance along with its successive trend became fragmented into a questionable democracy, corruption-soaked meritocracy, and even a  mysterious philosophy or concept along all these lines. Nigeria lost its focus on the developmental trend and the bearing of governance. Here we are today,  the governance styles of most of our leaders could be likened to that of King Belshazzar, who was later visited by the writing on the wall on a very sad note of the beginning of the end.
Daniel 5: 22-28, refers, ''but Belshazzar you already knew these things! You are Nebuchadenezer's grandson. But still, you have not made yourself humble. Instead, you have turned against the Lord of heaven. You ordered the drinking cups from the Lord's temple to be brought to you. Then you and your wives and tour women servants drank wine from those cups. You gave praise to the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone. Those are not really gods, they cannot see or hear or understand anything, but you did not give honor to the God who has the power over your life and everything you do, so because of that God sent the hand that wrote on the wall. These are the words that were written on the wall: Mene Mene Teke Perez, this is what these words mean: God has counted the days until your kingdom will end; Teke: you have been weighed on the scales and found not good enough; Perez: your kingdom is been taken from you. It would be divided among the Medes and Persians.''
Why has the land been continually impoverished, the cabal and the cartel from the political fold and business environment continued  to live in affluence without minding the focus of the United Nations behind the 17 point agenda for sustainable development, promotion of an inclusive society to take care of people with disabilities and women marginalization in the scheme of decision-making for a better Nigeria.
Divine admonition, therefore, to rescue the situation should be heeded to correct all these aberrations facilitated by institutional indiscipline.
The Holy Quran 57: 4 refers, a combination of SWOT analysis to identify our worth and smart application needs to be applied for correct interpretation of this verse of the Holy Quran,'' He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days(time-bound essence). Then he established himself on the throne, he knows what enters within the earth and what comes out of it(conservation of material essence). What comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it(the essence of transparency, auditing, and accountability). And He is with you wheresoever you may be(charges for all leaders to monitor and mentor those charged with the responsibilities for good service delivery through good work attitude and competence to do the job). And Allah sees well all you do.''
The Almighty Allah has role-modeled substances of due process for good governance which all of us must imbibe as a culture to drive the engine of development aright to the benefit of all in the name of promotion of inclusive society.  This is an antidote to poverty, corruption, and institutional indiscipline.
