They are always principled and their yes is always yes. pls give us that chance to prove ourselves in 2007 for once... well joftech i know where u are going to but the truth of the matter is that most ajekpakos that have ruled nigeria have one way or the other disappointed us. mind u whether ajebos or kpakos have their various shortcomings it is just that ajebos brought up in a disciplined home make good leaders.

If we look deeply, the poor are among us simply because some people that managed to get to power shortly after the Oyinbo man left have looted (into their coffers) wealth that would have benefited all Nigerians. They used these money to send and train their kids abroad, those kids have now come back to become Ajebota – they have remained in the corridor of power since. I would have started naming names of former Ministers, Senators etc then, who now have their kids as Governors, Ministers and Senators. Ajebotas are always so cutoff from reality and what’s happening around them that they many at times don’t know the present situation of the town they are living in. Kids whose perceptions have been warped by the fantasies of comic strips and fairytales – no first hand experience. All true leaders the world over tasted the pang of abject poverty, what that did not change in them is that they did not sell their soul to the devil (by flipping side). Lincoln readily came to my mind as a shining example of an Ajepako that refused to sell his soul to the devil; our own champions here (Azikwe, Awolowo, Murtala MM) will forever remain in our memories as people that build this nation irrespective of their modest and very humble backgrounds. Any nation where an elite-class rule will forever be a breeding ground for violence, South-Africa and Zimbabwe are very good examples. The type of leader that Nigeria need is a leader that has his/her ear to the ground, a leader that can hear the toddle of the downtrodden. We don’t need a leader that’s impervious to the wailings of our “iyalojas” I don’t quite agree with the assumption that any Ajebota will rule Nigeria better; that assumption by you (Kay and others) is wrong and quite preposterous.

Take note, Kazey. Well, I think a blend of the two would simply be nice since a good leader must be able to understand the mindset of the people he/she is supposed to be leading.

An Ajebota that understands the Ajepako, otherwise there might be katakata later. Hey Guys,
