Umez.Com - addressing Nigerian African Issues head on

I welcome you to my website - Umez.Com

Great leaders take actions to improve the lives of their own people. Effective leaders understand perfectly that leadership is parenthood. Just as parents take care of their children, leaders must take care of their own people. Encourage your friends/relatives in the leadership to invest in our country - Nigeria, as leaders, in the countries we call "civilized", do in their own countries. That is the ONLY way forward! That is leadership.

Accordingly, for an African country, e.g., Nigeria, to become an industrialized country or a "civilized" country, a substantial number of Nigerian leaders must do what leaders of the "industrialized " and "civilized" countries are doing in their own countries, namely, saving their countries' money in their own banks, not in Nigerian or any other African banks. That is wisdom; that is common sense; that is leadership.

An Appeal to Nigerian African Leaders

 

Leadership is action, not a Position

Leadership is action, not a position. Consider this actionable, One Trilion Naira advice from Ambassador of Venezuela, Hon. E. F. Arrundell, to Nigerian leaders:

 

“In Venezuela, since 1999, we’ve never had a raise in fuel price. We only pay $1.02 to fill the tank. What I pay for with N12,000 here (Nigeria), in Venezuela I’ll pay N400. What is happening is simple......Our President (Hugo Chavez) decided one day to control the industry, because it belongs to the Venezuelans. If you don’t control the industry, your development will be in the hands of the foreigners....”(Nov. 2009)..

Leadership is Parenthood

World politics has several fundamental lessons to teach us about leadership. Here is one of them:

 

Lleadership is parenthood.

Parenthood entails the responsibilities of being a parent. Parents nurture, support, and encourage their children to be triumphant in life. Undeniably, parental support and encouragement pave the way to producing successful children. Likewise, leadership entails the responsibilities of a leader, nurturing, supporting and promoting his/her country. Indeed, true leaders produce great, dynamic societies, capable of producing successful citizenry.

"Educated" to Feel Inferior

"Will African ever catch up?" Yes, if and only if the African mind is liberated.

 

In this book, considered "a wakeup call," I briefly explained the relationship between development and liberated mind. Specifically, I illustrated (a) how most of us, the Africans, were "educated" to feel inferior, (b) the terrible consequences of inferiority complex, i.e., low self-esteem, in Africa, especially in Nigeria, and (c) then presented the ONLY powerful solution to revert this inferiority complex so that Africa can meaningfully grow and develop.

 

We must stop miseducation of African youths.
