Nigeria is one of the countries that is blessed with endless natural resources.

Sadly, it has not been able to harness the resources in every productive way, partly due to inept and rudderless leadership.

In his 1984 polemic, “The Trouble with Nigeria,” Nigerian celebrated novelist and writer, Chinua Achebe, declared that “the trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership”.

That was almost four decades ago, and it still rings true today.

And then, there is the issue of basic competence and capacity which Nigerian leaders at all levels must have.

This is not just a question of university certificates, but of both moral and practical education, of the ability to manage people and resources and to be one with the community, the ability to recast the past in a different light and to hold bold visions of the present and future, and to mobilize Nigerians towards common goals.

Regardless, Nigeria needs exceptional leadership at this point. Leadership during quiet and prosperous times is essential, but it does not bring out the best in us.

It is at a time of national crisis like the one we have at hand that exceptional leadership stands out.

It is at such a time that you will know leaders who have three of the essential qualities of true leaders – the ability to listen and understand the pains of the people they lead, empathy and willingness to accept that they do not have all the answers.

In our country today, these qualities seem to be lacking or have evaporated. If leaders at all levels are listening, they would have heard the loud groaning of Nigerians.

A lot of goodwill has been lost, but there is still time for our leaders to take a holistic view of the current situation and come out with solutions to address the urgent security needs of Nigerians.

Failure to do this would only drive the country deeper into social, economic, and political ruin and may take the country towards an irreversible path of disintegration.
