We need to take some steps in the right direction
We should put an end to illiterate governance.
ā¢ No country deserves to be led by people who disdain Knowledge ,when we have so many who are qualified from every tribe.
ā¢ No to having a man with zero knowledge about education to be minister of education.
ā¢ Zero knowledge about health as minister for health.
ā¢ A historian as minister for science and technology.
ā¢ A medical doctor as minister for trade.
ā¢ A zoologist as minister for finance.
ā¢ A geologist as Governor of Central Bank.
ā¢ Theater artist as minister for aviation.
And so on and so forth.
If we can only appoint people on merit and competence ,we may be getting some things right.
A Professor of law cannot be saying “yes sir” to someone with little or no certificate.
We cannot have Carpenters as President of the Senate because of geo-political zones.
Tailors as Speakers of the National or State assemblies because the Governor wants it so.
We need in addition ,leaders who are decent with a high sense and value of patriotism.
No matter what they say about their religion,we should just avoid the type of religious people,who like two preachers, male & female who shunned civility recently,and engaged in a fight over a preaching spot in a market area in Lagos.
The female preacher didn’t let her male counterpart intimidate her as they both battled to reclaim territory.
We have shameless leaders like these shameless preachers ,that cannot give space for one another.
The preachers are like their politicians, who are fighting on zonal basis to hold certain portfollios , whether qualified or not,without the necessary competence,just because they are politicians,as if that is all it takes to man strategic ministries.
The reason for our present under development.
Let us take steps to put square pegs in square holes and not square pegs in round holes.
