NIGERIA'S ECONOMIC CRISIS CAUSED BY SELFISH, ARROGANT, IGNORANT AND INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP. Over the years; government agencies have been led substantially by people who possessed insufficient education, experience and exposure. What we fail to understand is that in Latin, we learnt that you cannot give what you don't have.(Nemo dat quod non habet) The worst aspect of it is the interpretation of a Yoruba Proverb that  described unfit leaders as someone who ought to be sleeping on the floor but suddenly finds himself on the bed with a good mattress.  Misbehaviour and foolishness occasioned by Pride becomes inevitable from such people when they occupy leadership position. Let us take a look at the following to underscore my view. 1. National Assembly since 1999 has refused to touch the most important aspect of our Constitution which is Restructuring. There is no one among Senators and House of Representative Members who does not know that the only way to move forward is devoluti...

WHY NO STATE IN NIGERIA CAN CATCH UP WITH LAGOS ECONOMICALLY. I read a book in 2022 with a Title Success is not an accident. In deed the author has a clear  understanding of the impact of deliberate decision. One of the reasons I like one young man I am providing mentorship for is that his words of prayer reads every time as follows : "God will intentionally bless you sir." The word that attracted me most in this prayer is that word "intentionally". Lagos is a state that have been so deliberate and intentional in what they do. The development in Lagos is not an accident  Recently I got an SMS in Lagos stating that I have been penalized for driving with expired vehicle license and the vehicle papers was actually renewed that same day after it was brought from a workshop where repairs and upgrade were carried out. How do they get to know this was the first question I asked ... Through Traffic Camera probably at Ikoyi was the answer from a brother who under...
