Yero,
 
President
Obama's speech was beautifully crafted and masterfully delivered. He demonstrated
mature politics and seasoned leadership at best. With the understanding that no
human is complete and without faults, I will like to say that president Obama
is a charismatic leader to emulate, he puts majority of our African leaders to
shame. Leadership for the most part is an individual sport, the fruits of which
can help touch the lives of all or hinder the progress of most and threaten
peace, stability and unity for generations. We can only continue to hope that
our generation of leaders can and will provide and encourage inclusive
leadership, tolerance, respect for the people and laws of the land if we must
have a shot peace, progress and democracy. Khaleel

The Barack Obama Exclusive 

The President of the United States in his humorous nature
addressed the world during his State of the Union address yesterday. Even the
troublesome and one of the stubbornness Republican Speakers of the House,
Boehner was seen offering smiles and cheers in the background. It says a lot
about political civilization.  

What I heard was a leader that cared about the citizens; one
that used his effort, leadership power and resources to empower people on
voice, justice, health care, jobs, education, equality and full citizenship
rights.  

The question bounces back to Africa and some of its leaders.
What lessons do you draw from yesterday’s speech? Are you still willing to go
that route where you keep insulting innocent citizens, following up on self
aggrandizement, committing all forms of criminal acts of injustices and
political power grabbing?  

It is time for everyone to look through the mirrors in self
reflection. America being one of the greatest democracies on earth, and yet
some of the most humble leaders (Excuse me, Mr. War Monger George W. Bush I am
yet to address you) can be found within such democracy. If you are in any
position (minor or major leadership), start changing your way. If you are
aspiring to lead, take great lessons from those that have done it the right
way. While it is tempting and paranoia is one hell of a disease that puts
people in positions to where they think they are doing the right thing,
leadership should be about the welfare of the governed. It should be done with
humility and sense of responsibility. Greatness of leaders lies within their
sincere service to world citizens; and not how much they enriched themselves at
the expense of a poor farmer in Batta-kunku who cannot even have his 3 daily
meals correct. To those crooked ones, who like to attach themselves to criminal
political administrations for their personal interest, please think twice. You
will still be out of there one day.  

People won’t stop talking about failed systems and
administrators because we are not satisfied. The more that we see others do it
right, the more determined we are to call on those doing it wrong to stop the
impunity.  

Barack –You once again make us proud. Best wishes to the
rest of the presidency with more political confrontations with Speaker Boehner
and the rest of those that politically matter.  

Kind regards,

Yero
