This paper argues in defence of the thesis that the leadership failure we experience in Nigeria is not the fault of our stars but the fault of Nigerians-leaders and the led alike. We should not abandon ourselves to fate. The efficient leadership Nigerians are in dire need of, will remain a mirage except we Nigerians, leaders and the led, change our attitude to politics and politicking. The first step towards changing this attitude, the paper argues, is to carefully identify the causes of misrule in Nigeria. One’s degree of success in articulating strategies for efficient leadership, is determined by one’s degree of success in discovering the possible causes of misrule. As a nation, our accuracy in identifying the causes of misrule in Nigeria and our sincerity in redressing misrule in Nigeria, have serious implications for the efficient leadership we Nigerians are in dire need of, the paper argues.
