Don't begrudge my rise; my pains from the falls are so excruciating that you will abhor the gift of my rising if offered with the pains of my fall. I'm an Eagle with feathers strengthened and stiffened by the burns from the fiercest furnace even more biting than the imagery of hades. I get renewed by the heat of gnashing teeth, the deadly pinpains of closing claws, and the showers of tears from the groans of dreadful experience. I stand so tall and dazzling in the midst of warriors. The love me, they cherish me, they honor me, they value me and they worship my gaze. I am the lion that spares no foe. My strength lies in that weakness you are so convinced of. I am immortal. And my immorality sprouts on my being; I am a Thinker. I am in the world of the greatest Philosophers that trudged, trudge and will trudge on this great surface. Stand aloof if you can't soak it. Get to bed eternally if you are incapable of absorbing it. I am the greatest giant in the firmament of...

Sometimes it is very difficult to distinguish between leader and leadership. Just like a certain school of jurisprudence could define justice as "what the lawyers do in the court", one could simply say that leadership is what leaders do. While I disagree with the definition of justice in that way and manner, I will agree with the same kind of definition for leadership. My ground for this rejection and acceptance is because whereas there cannot be good or bad justice but justice, there is good leadership and there is bad leadership. For this reason, we can without fault assert that leadership is what leaders do. This simply implies that to gain the meaning of leadership, one should know what and who a leader is. But the leader has no other distinguishing personality than his act which is leadership. This is to say that there is and cannot be a leader without leadership. It therefore means that leadership also defines the leader. Put differently, when we see two men or women...

Yesterday on my Twitter handle, I announced that my response on the disengagement from Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) shall be the subject of discussion in my column today. So, where we are! Tuesday, December 10, 2019, my tenure as the chairman of AMCON would seem to have expired upon the nomination of Mr. Edward Adamu as the new chairman of the bad loan vehicle. News about this development came to me while in London in the middle of a crash education programme. The negatively interesting aspect of it is the lamentations that trailed the announcement by some friends and associates who, in my view, had a disconnect between purpose of service and the relief that naturally accompanies the disengagement of an appointee with an alternative contact address. Barely 24 hours before the presidential nomination of a new chairman for AMCON over which I presided, Mr. Tunde Fowler was replaced in his chairmanship of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) office by ano...
