After series of arguments and questions which has started causing heat during the study of politics class in the Air conditioned Large lecture theatre of the first and best faculty of the social sciences in the country,A very good senior friend and colleague of mine-Mr Abdulahi Yusuf asked unequivocally "Sir,We have been diagnosing and analysing the problems of our dear country but a suitable way out has not been provided. As an experienced and erudite professor of political science ,what is the way out of this national dilemma". And as expected This question generates a lot of noise-like praises and accolades in the LLT that evening. After waiting for what seems like eternity for the noise to subside,Prof O.B.C Nwolise majestically walked in an humorous way in which he is known for to the board and wrote boldly "OUR LEADERS MUST BECOME SERVANTS".
This and many occasions has affirmed the fact that for us to have efficiency in leadership,servanthood is the key. I'm not surprised the late preacher,leader and public commentator -Dr Myles Munroe wrote in one of his publications that servanthood is the nature and attribute of true leaders.TRUE LEADERS!!! Servanthood connotes humility,selflessness,discipline,loyalty and total adherence to the voice of the people. Even looking at it from the religious binoculars,the two great holy books preach the tenet of leading through service. Unfortunately, this has been what our leaders are lacking at all levels. Let me close this short epistle with the popular maxim of the most ideological Socio-academic and political forum in the whole of the south of the sahara,north of the Limpopo ,east of the skilashi and west of the skelemba-DGPF which says "TRUE LEADERSHIP IS SERVANTHOOD"......
