MEDIOCRITY ON STEROIDS

"When mediocrity is tolerated,  success becomes elusive.  When mediocrity is intolerable,  success is inevitable. "

(Feel free to add Ogedengbe Ayo Moses to the quote above,  if you appreciate giving people credit. )

Starved of transformational leadership, the  transactional appears appealing to the majority in confusion. 

We have been so starved of quality leadership and representation that transactional activities are celebrated where we are so bankrupt of transformational activities.

It is as though there is something mediocre that rents the air in our space. 

When will we see social projects ideologically driven to address our unity as a country?

When will we see a revolutionary idea that,  en masse, puts people to work?

When will there emerge a sense of purpose for this great but sleeping giant?

When will we feel leadership with some motivational steel that drives the majority towards a clear vision?

When will we see leadership that is truly owned by the people such that the common plunderers of our commonwealth will not be the faces of governance and leadership? 

When the pure water of integrity is diluted with the poison of coedine,  mediocrity goes on steroids. 

Construction  of facilities and payment of salaries and pensions only a sign  that we are still at the abysmal levels of thinking and mentally still at the agrarian point of subsistence. 

Leadership should not be an esoteric issue in a country of many nations with men and women of global acclaim.

A system,  indeed,  that throws up the worst of us in place of the best of us to lead the rest of us is an anomaly.

May this  deification of mediocrity pass us by in no time. 

May we rediscover Nigeria out of "Nai Ji Ri Iya"
