“The bad state of the land is an advantage for the titled compatriots” says an Ibo adage. The rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer because policies are made only if they suit the elites.
A leader should have a sense of obligation knowing fully well that leadership is dependent on followership. Many a times, the followers complain of inadequate provision of social infrastructures, poor educational system, favouritism-filled policies, etc: and the leaders’ response is “I wonder why all these hullaballoo about our leaders when we don’t even know how to follow”.
You see; the followers feel their leaders embezzle public funds without at least making their lives better while the leaders feel their followers are lazy and oblivious of how difficult things are up there; so who is right and who is wrong?
Take a look at your family; a family is the simplest unit of a nation; there is a leader and followers. What is your position in your family? Are you a good leader or follower? What conscious effort can you make if your country is a reflection of your family? A stitch in time saves nine.
