| Dear Ozodi: I love your sense of humor and enjoyed your mosaic analysis immensely. Your article has been rated (A+) on the AV framework. Kindly send us a link to your book, we will review it and hopefully recommend it. We need scholars like to you to help rate all African leaders' performance for 2011 (see 2010 sample here): Thank you again for your commitment to the growth of humanity. I was so proud of your work I shared it with a likely cousin of yours, my friend, in Austria. Respectfully, Wale Idris African Views Organization -------Original Message------- From: Ozodi Osuji Date: 6/27/2012 3:53:55 PM To: naijapolitics@yahoogroups.com; nigerianworldforum@yahoogroups.com; naijaobserver@yahoogroups.com; talkhard@yahoogroups.com Subject: [talkhard] ON DR OJO'S LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL ABILITY
Here are my observations regarding Dr. Ojo's leadership potential and actual ability. Dr. Ojo is actually a bright man; he has some interesting ideas on what needs to be done to improve Nigeria (although I think that they are useless ideas since as a Pan Africanist, and he is a tribalist, we do not agree on what constitutes the right solutions to Africa's problems). Dr. Ojo's IQ is around 120, that is, above average (which is ideal for leaders and college professors and professionals such as medical doctors etc.). When I give folks their IQ and they doubt me let them go get tested and prove me wrong; so far, no one has proven me wrong, and I have done IQ tests for over twenty years. IQ ranges are as follows, under 70, mentally retarded; 85-115 average...over 90% of the people are average in IQ and about 2% are mentally retarded; 118-130 is above average (this is where professionals, professors, medical doctors etc. come from); 132 and above is superior (this is where researchers and original thinkers come from)...about 2% of the population have superior IQ. (President Goodluck Jonathan is average.) Leaders are supposed to have above average IQ but not superior IQ for if they are superior in IQ they would not be able to relate to ordinary people; I cannot relate to ordinary people for unless you are smart you cannot talk to me, on any subject you choose. That been said, I respect Dr. Ojo's tendency to be steadfast and vocalize what he believes is true. However, he needs to write them down in; at least, a book of 500 pages so that all of us can read what he believes in, and understand his political agenda and platform. Such writing would also enable us to assess his intellectual rigor and gravitas; so far we see him responding to folks with a few liners and calling them disgusting names when they make him angry. Talking about anger, Dr. Ojo does not know that a tendency to anger if not properly managed disqualifies him for political leadership. I know a thing or two about management, having been a chief executive officer. We hire managers who are cool headed under fire. A leader must keep his head when all those around him lose their heads. Leadership requires responding to crises and doing so without anger. Dr. Ojo gets angry very easily and would alienate all kinds of people. If he were to be elected he would provoke war, internally and externally. (The man is angry and makes his environment so tense that you could cut it with a knife; yet, he denies that he is angry; even a child of ten can see that he is full of rage, perhaps from what happened to him when he was a child; maybe he was abused as a child and has smoldering rage at his parents and deny that anger at them and project it to the rest of the world. He attacks folks with his anger and they feel defensive and counter attack him. He denies his anger and denies that he played a role in people attacking him. Poor chap. Even untrained folks could see his neurosis. He needs long term psychotherapy to begin to get handle on his emotional issues. A man of his age should not be calling folks the kind of nasty names he calls people. You don't expect that sort of thing from any one above age forty and certainly not from a man who claims to have a doctorate degree and is a professor. Professors are supposed to be calm and deliver information in an objective, unemotional, dispassionate manner, and not be rattled by criticisms. State the truth as you see it and let folks talk about it, curse you out or go jump into the river and drawn themselves, that is the mental state of mature persons. Dr. Ojo is very immature; his emotional age is adolescent, that is, between ages 13-19.) The problem with him is that he has not been in a managerial or leadership position before. He has been around universities only and in academia folks are full of shit and do not have to deal with interest groups who can eliminate them from office if they are displeased with them. We made the mistake of electing a smart talking but inexperienced Barack Obama to the presidency of the USA. He made a royal mess of things. Moreover, his cowardice alienated his constituency, his liberal base; he is always trying to please conservatives and not standing up for anything, not been seen as fighting for something he believes in. Well, he is not an experienced leader (I would not have hired him even as a first line supervisor, talk more about middle management position). I will still vote for him because I think that the prospect of Mitt Romney is a greater disaster for America (transference of wealth to the rich). It would have been nice if Ojo had had managerial experience hence curbed his rage. Anger is not that bad for it shows that one is a fighter. Anger is produced in our bodies (release of adrenalin) when we feel obstacles on our path. Anger is nature's means of fighting obstacles. In leadership training (such as military officers training, even in MBA programs) they teach you how to focus your anger without showing it overtly. If you feel abused by other folks, as folks abused me on these list serves, you keep quiet (and if you are the vengeful type you go after their cowardly black ass and get them into trouble). Dr. Ojo's intemperate anger tantrums disqualifies him for the presidency of Nigeria and the fact that he does not know that means that he does not know anything about management and leadership. If he wants to learn about management I recommend that he start by reading my book, the Art of Leadership for Africans. Cheers. Ozodi Osuji __._,_.___  . __,_._,___ | ||||||
