Poet's note: Leadership is the act of carrying people along. But the definition changes when you apply it to Nigeria. Leadership now becomes the position of fattening one's purses and taking care of one's family wants for the immediate and unborn generation at the detriment of the masses' needs. The ruling class transfer looted funds to overseas accounts, which these countries utilize to champion their development and boost infrastructure..... While our dear country and the underprivileged citizens are abandoned to faith. A sad reality.
