The fundamental basis of leadership is simply to proffer developmental ideas towards the continues growth and existence of the society.
I wouldn't want to bore my readers with the meaning of the terminologies above i.e Politics, hatred and faction as there are all familiar terms. But, for the purpose of clarity and easy comprehension of my submission, I will like to make brief justice to the term"faction". Faction as we all know, is a term that denote section, group, segregation or cartel amongst others. Faction according to English dictionary, is a group of people, especially within a political organization, which expresses a shared belief or opinion different from people who are not part of the group.
In an environment where division is the order of the day, development can't drive...Oyi 2018
This singular act is common across the nook and cranny of Nigeria as far as human exist. No wonder, Nigeria is backward developmentally regardless of her age.
An environment devoid of hatred is an environment of/for progress. An environment for peace and unity is an environment of/for development. Adoga2018
Team work is paramount to goal attainment. One may ask, Is it bad to set up a cartel to checkmate and liberate my people from bad governance? NO, it is not, but such cartel or group shouldn't aim at destroying the next person perpetually. Such group shouldn't see itself as better of than the other. They should be need for harmonious working relationship. Only God is perfect.
Factional politics and hatred are the root cause of unconstructive criticism (hate speech), abysmal name calling, direct insult on leaders, abuse of office, greed, nepotism, self-centeredness, pull him down syndrome among others.
In the case of Okpoma, a community in my Local Government Area of Cross River State. This community is so blessed by God with leadership prowess, but destroyed by men via greed and the subject matter above. This community had produced senators(till present), Minister, Generals, Commissioners, Council chairmen, Senior Advocates, State House Members, paramount Rulers, to mention but a few. This same community, lacks portable drinking water, good Road network, Automated Teller Machine(ATM)not to talk of Bank, people live in abject penury, No support to farmers, no market, farmers can't transport their little produce to neighbouring communities or Local Government Area for sale, people live in worry of what to eat, children don't go to school, poor health care system, poor educational system, youth now see alcoholism and drug abuse as the alternative,... As an Okpoma man, I made bold to say our leaders here have failed Yala, unless there's a change of way.
All these are as a result of factional politics and hatred. Those qualified are denied appointment because him or her is not of their faction, without minding the input and capabilities of that person.
How will there be development, when politicians go as far as sponsoring violent group against the other, when the so called leaders of tomorrow (the youths) are the one being used by politicians to execute their evil plot, when there's no peace, love and respect.
The table will not change, development won't come, future won't be guaranteed, the old won't give way for the young; if we don't rise to the occasion of getting the wrong right, keeping aside sentiment,giving respect to public officials, avoid killing for our bosses to get in, if we don't see the suffering of others as ours. Nothing will change, if we don't campaign against calumny, if we don't appreciate little favor, if power is not recycled. Development will not come, if we keep seeing ourselves as the God of power at the expense of the other, if we keep looking at the smallest village as a no place thereby, allowing the inhabitants to wallow in poverty to death, if we don't put all ideas together to work, development won't come, until we change our mindset (reorientation).
We are the solution to our problems.
Leke Alder says " most of our prayer points are noise and waste of time to God, because God has given everything necessary for our progress. It is left for us to discover the already made solutions from God, via positive thoughts, ideas inspiration, and so on. For Example, if God has given us land, should we still call Him to come and cultivate for us.? NO, We must do our part.
Until we rise to the occasion of love, respect, togetherness, positive thinking, we- can do it mentality, etc, nothing will change around us and our society.
