My people with the whole economic struggles going on. I really think if we can have better leadership. Nigeria would get to the next level.our basic desire as Nigerian is good leadership. If the people at the top. Could take up their responsibilities and do what they campaign on their manifestos, it would go along way in reducing this current struggles Nigerian are going through. Our country is blessed, we just need a better and a selfless leadership. One that would stand for the masses and build a stable structure by investing on human capitalism. Rather than enriching themselves.

Nigeria does not lack good leadership. But they are so selfish, which is why things like this happen in the country. Even those who have their own families face greater difficulties in surviving than those who are single. And the government simply ignores them without taking any action. Although the country is blessed, there is a dearth of good senators, which is why the country is not progressing in the desired direction.

Honestly, Nigeria's development is meant to demonstrate that we can also manufacture goods that we must import from other nations. And while there are many among us who can support it, it is not feasible for them to do so out of self-interest. However, if the senators and leadership can get together and hold a meaningful discussion with the administration, I think Nigeria will improve and advance eventually.

Are you trying to say that selfishness of leaders is good leadership?, or what else could it be apart from bad leadership?. Nigeria is not just blessed, but over blessing is really affecting Nigeria and its leaders that mismanagement of resources and public funds are the best practices they employ.

Nigeria has the capacity and human resources to manufacture tons of products we import from abroad. The issue is that the indigenous entrepreneurs are not adequately empowered. Nigerian oil is the greatest distraction of the politicians and they fail to focus on other relevant mineral and economic resources that can make the country stand out. Honestly, I'm One of those praying earnestly for Nigerians oil reserves to dry up. When such happens, politicians will focus more on producing, rather than consuming and their excess must be curtailed because the free oil money isn't in circulation anymore.
 There wouldn't be ghost workers anymore because their will be serious supervision in every sector to curtail excess funds manhandling.

Nigeria have everything the world needs, we have good and bad in the country, like the government they are good when it comes to managing and plans but like @AYOBA said that they are selfish I supports him because it's true, the government are good but they just feel like to manipulate tyr citizens.
The government have the capacity to reduce price of things that has high but they don't want to do it, they keep those ones aside and concentrate on other things that has no meaningful things to add to the society.
One thing I like from we Nigerians we are always there to promote ones success and that's what has been speaking for us ever since.

It's high time we stop complaining about bad leadership, we've been complaining on deaf ears for God knows how long and yet the change we crave for is yet come, so rather sitting and fantasizing how Nigeria would become great as soon as the leaders start behaving well, you can start enforcing the change you crave for in your own little way. Nigeria isn't the only country with bad governance, but it appears that we are the only people who complains more about it and use it as an excuse to be lazy. We sit down idle and doing nothing but point fingers on the government and before you know it, you're already old and gray, and when your children asks you why you're not successful, you boldly open your mouth and tell them it's because the government has failed us and are not doing what they're supposed to do, whereas if you find yourself in the dame shoes as they are, you'd do the same or even worse. So quite the complain already and do what you need to, in order to avoid telling your children stories, because you go explain tire, evidence no go dey.

Our leaders are the reason behind our problems. I wounder why they said the youths are the leaders of tomorrow, but here in my country the statement is as vise versa. Meaning that the elders are leaders forever. I wounder why @AYOBA is saying that the leaders is not our problem. I would have love you to explain how our leaders are not our problem?

Nigeria lacks good leadership and good leadership comes with sincerely, if Nigeria doesn't lack good leadership, why will a former governor insist that his political structure should not be tampered when he is no more in the office, are talking polituc structure in this country or good governance to the people, there is no atom of change or remorse in our political class, what we experience here is greedy and selfish politicians who's aim to contest for a political position is to embezzle the fund meant for the development of their constituents.

We really need good and accountable leadership to grow as a nation, Nigeria is blessed with different things but the problem we are having here is greed by the political elites and this has to change for good.

The truth of the fact is that good leaders do actually exist who are ever always ready and willing to execute projects that will benefit the common masses, but the only problem we have always have about Nigerian politics is the issue of Godfatherism, which has crippled many who came into office with a good intention, but only to be presented with a long-lasting demands by Godfathers, who may have fought for his/her successful election into office. So on a nutshell, if only this  "fatherisum" can be totally eradicated, then alone are our politicians able to execute good leadership qualities, since most Godfathers always greedy

The leadership challenge for Nigeria na big problem, is like many people just dey corrupt because youth self dey want collect deir own as we don see for the current administration and no wonder dem dey threaten to kill people for the election. The funny thing again be say as dem don begin electoral reform, dem don leave the real challenge of the election wey be electronic voting and transmission real time, dem don leave the hitches but talking about putting all federal elections together one day. Na frivolities wey the parliaments dey dance on.

It's not just about talking, I hope you have your voters card. Nothing is going to work in this country until we take drastic action by voting out the old leaders who are continually recycled into various offices after every 4 years. Most youth rather complain than do what's necessary for them to rescue this country. It will surprise you to know that most youths don't have voters card and yet complaining of how bad the country is going. You vote out bad leaders from office with you votes and not just by complaining. What happened during the last election? People sold their franchise for few Naira and now they are complaining. I hope they are still eating the few coins those greedy old politicians gave them to keep this country is this terrible condition.

The truth is that the leaders don't even care about the economic Challenge in the country because this government never had any plan for the country,  their interests is just to steal power by on means that is why the economy is sinking everyday. I don't think the kind of leaders we have they will be able to change anything,  because most of them have no quality of being a good leader. Things are getting worse because the leaders we have they have no idea on how to handle things.

And you think sae na by voters card go help pursue our old and corrupt leaders. That one na lie sha cos our system of governance d too corrupt for a good leader to step in to lead us.
Take for instance wetin happen for our last election. Didn't the youths come out massively to vote for their choice of leader. Wetin come happen at the end? No be the highest bidder win the election after it was evidently clear that the election was rigged. Anyway sha, I no wan raise up much fact about the presidential election wey happen cos em d vex me badly and I know sae the youths are angry about it, which go make thousands of youths not to come out massively to vote for anything concerning election again for this country because the last time they did, their votes no count

The success and failure of every country starts from leadership. From history, many countries such as China, Singapore, Rwanda, and others have had their turning point as a result of the input of a leader who love their country and have decided to put the country first above their personal ambitions. I think the love for country is the first quality that makes a great leader because it is this love that will make you not do things that will damage the country and her citizens.

unfortunately, we do not have people that love Nigeria in leadership positions. What we have as leaders here are businessmen who see leadership as just a business deal, a way to enrich themselves. Election is seen as investment and they are ready to spend any money to win. They are ready to kill and do all manner of things to ensure the enter office because they know that whatever they invested, they will recover it with some profits.

Leaders that love their countries will strengthen the institutions so that they will protect the law of the country and ensure it is not abused. On the other hand, leaders that have no love for their country will do their best to find loopholes to weaken their institution, appropriate to themselves so much power so that they are stronger than the institutions that should checkmate them. This bring to mind the saying that "power corrupt, absolute power corrupt absolutely".

Until we have leaders who love Nigeria, who will not destroy the very fabrics that make us a country, leaders that will pursue nationhood and not just geographical enclave, we should not expect anything to change. We can only hope for the messiah.

The truth remain that any foundation that is not properly laid, the building always collapsed. I will agreed with you in some aspects not completely, reasons because this country is build on faulty foundation. Let me begin by saying that the foundation of Nigeria’s problems is rooted in her flawed political and economic system. The system was created by certain cabals during the military regime and passed down to successive governments. This system of governance obliterated the regional system of government we had before the civil war. And that introduced the command and control style of government, where the regions no longer have autonomy over themselves and their resources as power is being shifted to the centre. Looking at this you will see that it's a faulty foundation example how Abuja give command first before what required emergency situation in another state be handled, our laws are not functional, even with their manifesto it can't still work because it's the laws of the nation that brings every promised to account.

Indeed Nigeria is one of the blessed countries in the world it terms of resources like crude oil, natural gas,coal, limestone and so on.Since Nigeria is blessed with these resources it is in the position of the government to create empowerment for citizens of the nation.But the selfish leaders at the top are busy enriching themselves that's why the rate of unemployment is increasing in the country.

What good do we expect from a man that has no vision for the country a man that said that it is his turn to rule the nation well I did not blame the poor masses I blame the hungry judiciaries we have in this country they are the ones that making us pass through this hard time and hardship.
Right now a better Nigeria can only be possible if all the youth comes out in Mass both men and women and perform a better peace protest/demonstration. And the Bible made us to know that when the righteous rule the people will rejoice, Nigeria can only be better when a God fearing person emerge as the president of this country.
Honestly this is the worst time to be a Nigerian.

Leadership isn't the only problem we have in Nigeria. We ourselves are part of our problem. Although, our leaders has a more greater role to make this country a better one. Have we forgotten that leadership start from home. Seome that can't even manage his home of 4, but such person will keep point hands on the government for good leadership.

The very problems of Nigeria could be seen from three perspectives, and that they are solvable by reason. By all practical purposes the nation is a structured trajectory of Neocolonial particularities. This raises the issue of problems of underdevelopment. The discussion follows as;
Firstly, the ownership problem. Who owns the Nigerian state. It was the British capitalists under the auspices of the British authorities who established the Nigerian state, though a handful of Nigerian elites were part of the construction. It is programmed to depend on the Western countries with the American dollars as the global currency for commercial transaction. These capitalists have captured major production of goods and services, a form of oligopoly, the African elites are excluded. So, the country is on the mercies of these capitalists.
 Secondly; leadership, can the ruling class and the leadership able to dismantle this Neocolonial trajectory that is the bane of the country. Can the leadership able to restructure this dependence matrix. I hope a leadership should be seen from this perspective and adjudged as good or better. Either leadership maintain the status quo to achieve an optimal results or an overhaul of the entire formation. However, for all practical purposes, leadership should be able to reduce inequality in the society.
Thirdly, followership. The problems of Nigeria is partly connected to the mind and personalty of the individuals, mostly as majority of the Nigerians could not and are illiterates. This segment of the population is highly superstitious.
Therefore, the problems of Nigeria is of  these threefolds, and it has remained unresolved.
 

Leadership is surely not be the only problem we have in Nigeria because followership is also lacking. Both leadership and followership are important for the country to make progress. How can we have good leadership when the people surrounding our leaders hardly tell them the truth. Nigerians are fond of praising everything leaders do even if they take wrong decisions.

But even though we may not blame all the problem on leadership, we must admit that the bulk of the problems are product of leadership failure. Leaders are like captain of the ship, they give direction to the country and where leaders fail to deliver on their primary responsibilities, it becomes a problem that will sink the entire country. Many great nations of the world have their successes traced to quality leadership. Rwanda for instance is making remarkable progress today because of the quality of leadership they have.

A better leader can help the economy situation and if possible I believe a right leader will be elected, we should not channel all the blame to our leaders, Nigeria as a country  depends on oil and gas making it sound as a monolithic economy, to some extend I feel this is very bad cause we can't just depend on one sector with an unstable price. Even as that the country still has money to finance and sponsor programs like entrepreneurship, agricultural programs. We have a lot of organization sponsoring famers like the fadama program but this is not enough to change the economy. When there's a good leader everything will total change so my question is where is the leader and how is this possible for Nigeria to depend on multi sectors not just the oil and gas.

The problem of this country is that the issues have long piled for a really long time and it's just starting to surface now and that's why the leaders are finding it difficult to find a way to actually resolved it. Nigeria no doubt is blessed but when you have greed and selfishness at the center of everything, you don't expect where there is greed in the heart of men to be successful and that's the one big problem this country faces.

That is the problem we really have. Nigeria's problem have started long back in the early 1970s. Although our leaders then do a lot to cover up. Greediness can not be easily remove from Nigerians.

A basic problem we as Nigerians have from my perception is that an individual is stronger than the system as a whole. if one person defaults the law it's negotiable for the offender to even be as free as he did nothing if not the country would have been better.

imagine if the judiciary system is working properly and independently, even Buhari would have been prison by now because all the crimes he committed would have been charged against him even this incumbent president too and other top personnels.  if this can be structured believe the good leadership we wish for will be chasing after us back to back because to leader will want to go against the will of the people because if case is filed against him then he will lose and face the punishment but since it's not possible as a result of high corruption system the good leadership will come in when we face another turn of military rule of if some who is genuinely good attain the office which is likely not a chanced.

Every leaders are not bad mentalities some of the the leaders are the better for a country and basically a  party. Reason of some good political leaders now a day world are staying in good position. Yes on the other side minimum quantity of leaders are into the politics, they are corrupted and their policy is too bad that public are sufferer a long. Yes.. youth is the power of future they should be forward To eliminate corruption and provide a bright future for Nigeria.

We common Nigerians we contribute to why this country don reach before now Nigerians had power to choose who their leaders who be but they open themselves to be used by politicians and today it has gotten to a level where politicians now put themselves to the position they want because of how we common Nigerian gave them the opportunity. I don't think things will get better soon because this government they are ready to be I power.

No two ways about it. The lapses that crawls out economy and the insecurities in our society is pointed at the government is response on what vision they have for the masses.
If only our leaders would keep aside selfish interests and lookforth a one good governance this country would be a better place for you everyone.

Just as you said Op, the possibilities of the politicians to exhibit what they preaches about during their electoral campaigns would really do the country in a general terms a long of good because at most the masses considers what nature of promises these politicians utters to the masses when asking for votes favours and then they are voted in where the masses feels they would have a governance that would be as the politicians promises during a campaign but instead the so leaders does all that which only interests their own favours while the masses are crawling disasterously by the cause of nature of governance of the same governments they voted in.

Why do i feel that even if there was good leadership from the supreme leader, the president,. When he executes his word, other leaders won't take it into place, like they would find a way to maneuver everything. From the local men in power to the state and down to the federal system,. All the leaders have failed because they feel life comes with an opportunity, and that opportunity they have to be in that position is time to elevate themselves and think about the present benefit they can get before there tenure ends.

You're right bro, most challenges that we are facing now in our country is a fault from our bad leaders, they we leave what dey are in for and been doing another thing that we not render any help to the masses, some we leave what dey are suppose do and been doing another thing with out noing that as leader you really need show a good example.

Good leadership has being a problem for Nigeria since from the 90s. The ammoying thing is that the new government is always performing poorer than the previous. Instead the new government will inflate more suffer and hardship on the citizens, compared to the previous ones. The fact is that the people that forces themselves into power through manipulation, are only after to loot the country's funds.

Nigeria is too big for these politicians to keep in a bad state based on economy. From what I have come to realize, I think that Nigeria is too big for one man to rule. The problem of Nigeria is too big, and if only one man is in control, he will get confused, and just forget about doing anything than to steal. The country needs to break into two.

Indeed a better leader is all we need, a leader who would put the country's need in front, a leader with pure heart. Because most leaders after been elected would just go for their own selfish desires, thinking of only how they could make their life and that if their families better, highly ignoring the needs of the masses or even the development of the country. They would make alot if promicious words that would be sweet for the ears to hear but bitter for the hearts of men to understand. A good leader is what this country needs and if it successful gets that, there would be no limits to what we can accomplish.

You have said well but as a MOF, our government don't care about the people in Nigeria, they care for the money, their pockets alone, if not why not? Just one man will gather billions of dollars and keep in his apartment (not even in banks) and we call such person a leader, IMO I don't think our governments are leaders.
With all the natural resources we have we are still suffering because we don't have good governments all the ones we have right now are scom, no employments not motivation and so on. However it would be better if we keep our heads straight and focus on things that will benefit us instead of putting hope on government to empower us with jobs. The ex president said we are lazy youths but in as much as Nigeria is consern we are not lazy, we always work hard to bring the best out of everything we have, not every country will experience what is happening in our country and survive it.

Really a country called Nigeria has expired long time ago but still let talk about to pretend that we are not ignorant of the expiration....

The problem of the country is just the leaders but also it's citizen but mostly 90% of the problem is from the leaders the one thinking that they are making sure they rule this country by all means people who think that they are rulling animal those greedy,foolish, bloody ducking sucking politicians here parading themselves as  God let's talk about those fermished politician who think that they can control the air / oxygen that we breathe lets talk about those decayed and old politician who bites and beat us everyday expecting us not to cry ....

Let's talk out those bloody politicians who ask us to come out and exercise our to protest but still sent armoured and sophisticated army van against us at the lekki toll gate on 20-10-20 that all Nigerian youth will never forget in a hurry  when the government of Nigeria massacred its own citizen and they were thesame people who came out and lied thsy nothing happened a country and government who doesn't have their citizens at heart they only came to us when they needed a our vote my heart can't stop bleesding because i am.talking about Nigeria......

This is a country that has used religionism, tribalism, regionalism and politics to condemn it's citizen...

I must stand to say that Nigeria is very blessed with alot and uncountable mineral resources even to the one's that it is only our government has the knowledge about.  But it is just been controlled by few greedy and arrogant politicians who don't care at all for their citizens only for what will benefit them that they are after those evil politicians who don't have any clue of been a shepherd but the came out by force to rule the country without any single idea of leadership in them..........

Those foolish politicians who think they can buy their lives and everything they want to money who forgets that there's dealth they only care for their themselves and families even to their relatives

I don't think Nigeria is blessed when is it not manifesting in the life of it's citizen. Natural we are blessed but in leadership we are cursed I weep for my people every day it is only God and standing for our right that will cure all this corruption in the land

Thanks 🙏👍...........................

It is so bad that the leader we have they cant even help the present economic Challenge because they never had plans for good governance,  they never had vision to carry out good project and to revive the economy and now it is so difficult for them to do something meaningful.  The way things are going I'm doubting if the this government will be able to do something about the economy because things  str becoming worse.

If Nigeria don't lack good leadership then what do we as a country really lack, because if you say the leaders are selfish that that's one of many features that sum up bad leadership qualities. A good leader knows well not to be selfish, taking from the people what supposed be for everyone to only himself and immediately family while his subject suffers. So I don't subscribe to that idea that selfishness isn't a product of bad leadership style.
