Is there any good political godfather?

[Nicho-brown]

Talking about politics and godfatherism, you can only grow politically under your godfather when you have a good and God gearing godfather. Because we have the good and the bad leadership when it comes to politics and power.

Some political godfather may like u the first time but as soon as they notice how far u are going, they will want to clip your wings just to keep you under their control.

To be polite with you, I noticed that the godfatherism method or lifestyle have made or build many, and have also undo too many. Because immediately you will want to disagree with your godfather, maybe to do the will of the masses. Most godfather will want to bring you down by all possible means.

So good political godfathers are rear to find these days.

[Popkon6]

Yes, the matter is absolutely realistic, in this political life, those who will pull you up will eventually pull you down again. They may use the valuable time from your life for their work, but when the time comes, they will definitely return you to that past place, those who are godfathers in politics always do politics in a bad way and do not work well for the people.
Because they do not do any good work, they get the results of their own bad deeds in the end, so if you want to do politics, it is definitely necessary to do good politics and besides, you should leave politics. There is no politics like the politics of the past, the current politics is dirty politics.

[Solodoski]

Firstly godfatherism is bad for politics and I have never supported it. I really don't care if there are good or bad godfathers in politics,  because this godfathers always have a say of who rules and who does not rule, which affect elections. This set of people stop competent leaders to hold political office, because they are not their godson and this affects the development of the nation.  When you claim a godfather is good,  I think it's because the godson is doing his will and you will not hear them having issue and then you say he is a good godfather, but the truth is that his is not good, rather the godson is only doing his will, so I am completely against godfatherism in politics.

Political Godfather would definitely help you to grow, not just now but also for the future, but you have to be loyal to your godfather, since they’re the one helping you to grow, and also giving you appointments, loyalty is the watchword for political godfather, if you are not loyal you might end up losing any position they’ve helped you achieve, which I think political Godfather isn’t a very good thing all together, as a man when you have a political godfather you can only be following their instructions, but there comes a man’s life you will have to take authority for yourself with a sense of belonging, that is where the problems comes when you don’t do things that they instruct you to do, Godfather is something that I wouldn’t like in terms of giving you instructions and command to do whatever they want.

The USA was set up to be a place where every family leader was the king on his land.

Government was only supposed to step in when there was harm, damage, or direct threat done between kings.

No politicians needed. But the people were too dumb to understand. So, they invited the politicians in.

[Supreme Donvic]

Godfatherism is what is killing my country right now, in politics having a godfather that will guide you and help you to win elections is very important but that is what is affecting my country progress till date, when a godfather helps you to win election he's going to want some things from you and in some cases he's going to want to control you and make you do some things you may not really want to do.

As long as you want to be a godfather in politics you are not a good person, a good person will never want to be a godfather to someone because godfatherism is something that affects the system of government.
There's no good god father in politics anywhere in the world.

In politics there is know service that's free so actually the only reason someone would become a political godfather to you is because of what he or she is going to benefit from you and that's why most political godfathers usually sponsors their candidate with their own money so that if they eventually win they would have 70% power on the leadership were as the actually person who won the election will still be answerable to him, so that's one of the things political godfathers usually do, and the problem is that in some places without having a godfather is impossible to grow politically especially in our political system.

in political culture godfather is a common thing. godfather is something what control your thinking. some rules, some models. and you always agree with him. in democracy is is a barrier to think independently, creating new ideals. so some reasons godfather is not good in politics.

[Doan9269]

The best thing to do in life is not to serve under any godfather because you will think they are helping you with some benefits, but later you will discover that things are not as expected, and you may find it difficult to back out by then.

There is no Father Christmas anywhere that we serve as a good godfather to you than what do we end up getting? The moment you realize that you can achieve anything you need on your own, it will be moot for you. This will make you to put a more effort to be independent and not subject yourself under those that will later read over you and deny you of your right or privilege to do things at your discretion without their consent even when you are in power.

It's not wrong to be under a mentor or godfather to learn a skill or craft. The political space is complex, so people need guidance to succeed. But most of the political godfathers I have seen in my location are domineering and greedy.  They always want to control their godson for selfish reasons. One godfather in my area ensured he frustrated the governor of my state until governance was halted. I am not comfortable with politicians having godfathers, especially if they have selfish interests.

[Unknown Op]

Political godfatherism is not always bad. Because young politicians can gain experience from experienced leaders. They also provide opportunities and help young politicians understand how the political system work overall. The problem occurs when this mentorship is turned into ownership. A mentor becomes happy when they see their correspondent becoming more capable and independent. They do not feel threatened by their success. Political leaders becoming successful godfathers do not feel threatened by their success; they become happy. If you are supporting someone in power that does not mean they have the right to control every decision that they make. Political loyalty should be with the people and with the constitution of the country, not with any individual leader. Need mentors who help to build future leaders. We don't need the powerful individuals who are creating political servants.

In order to get to the root of this situation, we must acknowledge that the life we lives is politically influenced how by, we'd need each other to grow just as the saying that we rises by raising other's.
In the social politics with regulationhip, there's a full of attached games with self interest made priority in other not just to grow in rich but remains relevant and influential in the society.
As some politicians may mean well on their primary assignments in leadership, so there're also political godfathers that generously empowers other's to grow. Those selfish one's will expects you to always be under them. They don't  want your independent.

Like you have said godfathers in politics is not good at all because the god father's become selfish at the long run, they only need loyalist. People who will obedient to there instructions. The godfather are not always careful when it comes to taking decision that will be of an advantage to the people under them. All what they fights for is matters that increases there financial stability helps them remain in power.
They cause crisis amongst the people they should be protecting, in other to prove what they are not doing as camouflage.

Influential figures? It is only to maintain their power and work behind everything with a bad plan, about policies without heart it is true that there is, the most important thing is that they can master themselves and save business with these policies.
Politics can be more cruel, I never like what the government does, at least this is part of my feeling if I am against politics in our country.

[Taricoins]

Anytime i come across the word "Godfather" in any social settings especially when it is in the phrase "political Godfather" I just think about mob bosses. The facts till remain that the relationship is contractual, and honestly it is kind of ungrateful for the God father to help you attain greatness and your turn to reciprocate you start neglecting. It's a contract, I scratch you back, you scratch mine

I will agree with what you have said because up to this moment they USA still decide for so many countries, just like where I come from Nigeria anytime we're about to elect our leader, they are always invited to United State of America and present what they have and anyone that they are satisfied with, they will show their support.

If you can observe every country of the world, if anyone among them want to temper with democracy that is when they have problem with the United States of America, but if the government is doing bad and the people are suffering they decided not to see anything and this alone shows that their interest is protected that was why they could not be able to do anything even though people are dieing.

[Mayor of ogba]

I don't know for other countries but in my country godfatherism in politics is the order of the day, and I can beat my chest and say that there's no good political godfather in my country because once the person they put into political office stop doing what they want they will make the political office difficult for the person that he can't govern well and they won't allow the person to run for second tenure. I don't like godfatherism in politics because it eliminate good governance.

[Queen uloma]

You’re very correct and I agree with you, Godfatherism can help someone to grow politically, it can still be the same thing that will still limit the person. The issue here is some godfather doesn’t want their godson to become independent or even make decisions that will favour the masses if it doesn’t favour his personal interest.

Good mentorship is suppose to build leaders that will stand on their own, not to turn them into puppets. To see a good political godfather is difficult now a days.

[HyperCodexV]

If you want something that facilitates bad outcome merit worthy opportunities or encourages handing power to incompetent people. Give it to Godfatherism. That is the fastest way to destroy the process of getting the best person for a job. All the useless god sons don't get appointed because they are smart of even a little qualified or capable but simply because their Godfathers have a stake in the system and they have the power to override who gets what and who goes where.
