Discipline is that quality of a leader that separates the men from the boys, if there is one truth leaders should hold dear and remember, it is this , before you attempt to rule others first rule yourself. The ability to control impulse is the foundation of will and character. Before you attempt to rule others discipline yourself. Don’t we all laugh at those who say ‘do as I say and not as I do’ they cannot be disciplined but want us to be disciplined. Are we not inspired by the leaders who are disciplined and tell us to do likewise? We look at their example and it is easy to follow. Discipline is ruling and mastering yourself. Mastering your emotions, your body, your appetites, and goes as far as mental discipline, time management. Discipline is a result of training yourself to make the right choices regardless of what you actually feel like doing. You feel like doing something but you choose to do another, discipline is mastering your weaknesses, because if you don’t master your weakness now that you are s

Thinking Like A Leader - 31-07-2018 by Olajumoke Adenowo

The world cup season makes us begin to think about sports and how sports are such a unifying factor. When Nigeria does well everybody is happy. You hug your enemy without knowing. I was in Ghana a while ago, and all of Accra and indeed the whole of Ghana were in uproar over a scandal with the GFA, the body responsible for football. There were allegations of match fixing and the chairman had to step down, and the country was angry, why? Someone said ‘grown men have heart attacks over these matches, not knowing they were already fixed, and there was no point praying or yelling. What point is it when the match is already thrown and fixed? Football is major, sports is major, it does not change lives, doesn’t solve world peace issues, or curb world poverty, then what does it do for us? It makes us all feel patriotic, it makes us all root for the same thing. They make you proud to belong to the same nation that these ones that are doing so well belong to. Football makes us proud. Our leaders should make us proud.

In the Argentina match, I think we were being cheated, as I saw the VR and it was clear that the ball moved from the head to the hand of their player, but somehow the referee thought he could still rule and said it’s not a handball, and I believe, it’s because he weighed the options “should I upset Nigeria, or should I upset Argentina?” and he decided he can upset us anytime, and did so. That is what I believe went on and I believe either we face it or not, it is back again to leadership. What did he believe was going to be the consequences of his decision? . . . The time has come that, even if your father’s party foists a candidate on you that you do not believe in you reject it. We cannot vote parties; we should vote people we really believe are competent. We need to send a strong signal that no matter how powerful the party is, your candidate had better be powerful if you want to taste that office you are fielding the candidate for. This should be a different election come 2019, let us vote competence and

Why does sport especially football affect us so much? As always I get to wondering how sports is such a unifying factor, for not just my country, but other countries of the world, all of a sudden mortal enemies forget that they are mortal enemies, and they unite behind one flag. What is it about sports especially in a country like Nigeria where we argue about so many things and seem to be divided about so many things? What is it about sports that unify us? I was outside my base when Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0, and the whole place erupted in rapturous joy, and nobody wanted to know what side of the country Musa was from, there was no federal character, that they thought ‘you cheered him up because he came from your area” I do not think anybody knows or cares where he comes from. They just cared that he had won for Nigeria. As a sport I would rather examine football than athletics, because in athletics its one person sprinting and we’re all rooting for one person. Football best represents what leadership is in

We discuss leadership on voice of change because we were all born to be leaders. We may not feel like we were born to be leaders, we may not feel like the seed of leadership is in us at all, but everyone of us is a leader in one sphere of life or another , or at one time in life or another. You look at yourself and wonder, me, a leader? Who is a leader? A leader is someone who can mobilize people, resources, material resources, financial resources, goodwill, favor towards achieving a stated objective. So you see that even if you just organize traffic at a point, at that point you are being a leader. So many people that you have obeyed in traffic, you never even ask “who asked him to get on the road and begin to direct traffic?” but you obey without question. Why? He put himself forward at that time and volunteered his services to make sure chaos was averted. He stepped forward at that time, that was his time of leadership. When a leader externalizes failure and points a finger at uncontrollable external f
