On my way back from Lagos this morning, I ran into a friend who 20 months ago used to swear by GMB. Today, he was swearing at the man! TIME!
Disillusionment – “when you find yourself now beginning to swear AT the person you used to swear BY a few month’s ago”
Mental liberation – when the scales fall off your eyes and you begin to see clearly again, free from the manipulation of “influencers”
The arrogance of the ignorant is baffling, the ignorance of the arrogant more so, and the arrogance of the ignorant arrogant most so!
The tragedy of Nigeria is that she has always had elected persons who put the pursuit of personal interests ahead of institution building.
Bad leadership is characterized by excessive short-termism in vision and thinking.
Bad leadership is characterized by ignorance, arrogance and an unwillingness to recognize and remedy its fundamental ignorance!
Blaming one’s predecessor for one’s vision & strategic leadership failures is the best admission of & the lamest excuse for incompetence.
Best way a non-performer can hold on to power? Use the instruments of state power to intimidate and scatter potential opponents!
Does he/she seeking elected office possess functional competences in Economics & Public Policy? Does he/she believe in lifelong learning? Question for 2019!
