HELLO Fellow topical talkers
I said no because leading a country comes with great difficulty. If I make any mistake it would be huge because the country is a large place so it will inflict damage to the country. Many duties will be made by me any ad decision will lead to bad things in the country. But if I was a leader I would try much to achieve equality.
THANK YOU!
I agree with it comes with difficulty and also challenges and also responsibilities and duties to the people I believe is not easy and taking a responsibility like this and not doing it and fulfilling it is much bigger and wrong and if a person is capable and has a leader's qualities that person should not rule.I agree with it comes with difficulty and also challenges and also responsibilities and duties to the people I believe is not easy and taking a responsibility like this and not doing it and fulfilling it is much bigger and wrong and if a person is capable and has a leader's qualities that person should not rule.I agree with it comes with difficulty and also challenges and also responsibilities and duties to the people I believe is not easy and taking a responsibility like this and not doing it and fulfilling it is much bigger and wrong and if a person is capable and has a leader's qualities that person should not rule.
Hello lovely_ planet I agree with you if a ruler has a big responsibility on his shoulders and doesn't do anything about it an maybe in his campaign hesl said something he wants to do maybe after the election he will not fulfill what he said and did not fulfill the needs of the citizens of a country, the citizens would not be happy and they might take matter's in their own hands.
THANK YOU!
I totally agree with you because if a ruler promises the citizens to do something and he/she doesn't, they will think that he was a bad ruler that brakes his promise and will never vote for him or anyone else from his party thinking that they are all the same even if they are not.
Hi calm cloud
I agree with you on the fact of the citizens not being happy and might take matter's in their own hands. To avoid this, leaders should not make too many promises that they will not be able to fulfil. Presently in my country, there are a lot of unfulfilled promises that have made the citizens to take laws into their hands by going to government warehouses with food items and looting them. Thing like this can be avoided by leaders being honest to the people they are leading.
THANK YOU.
HELLO fun ant,
I agree with you because I also have seen all this things that you have written down. Presidents make promises that they themselves cannot fulfill and this makes the country citizens go ballistic and they will sometimes have to steal and loot for a living. For example, not long ago in my country Nigeria a trailer that was carrying goods to a warehouse got looted and people stole everything from it.
I just say that presidents should be able to fulfill all the promises made for the betterment of the country economically and financially.
THANK YOU!!!
Hi openhearted_music;
Your comment got me thinking. A leader is the main person responsible for the development of a country. A leader contributes the most to the development of a country. If he can act honestly. But most of the times the leaders do not keep their word and betray the people. Because of all these leaders, many countries of the world have not been able to develop even today. Rather, the country's economy, education system and the source of employment for various employees are being destroyed. I think that the people as well as the leader have some fault behind it. Because the people elect their leaders. I think the country will be able to improve only if the people elect an honest and ethical leader of their choice. Then leaders must keep their promises. What is your opinion about this? Hope you understand my views and questions. Please answer my question as soon as possible.
Thanks.
I totally agree with you on your comment because no this present country Nigeria, our leaders made lots of promises to us what they were going to do for us when they get into power. The Governor of my state even went to the radio station
Hello calm_cloud
I will differ with you in citizens taking laws into their hands, this will not work my country and might even result into violent conflict (between supporters) in a country like mine. In Nigeria over the years, we have consistently seen people refusing to oppose a leader who is oppressing simply because he comes from their divide of religion or ethnicity. Those who tend to oppose are seen to be criticizing his/her because where he comes from and sometimes they maybe right.
I agree with you because if a leader does not fulfill his campaign promises, there might be some form of apathy on its citizen to the extent that some may take matters into their own hands and it will affect his administration.
Yes, I agree with you. Doing such jobs require much responsibility and although it may be so difficult and can bring challenges. Getting to a higher level requires time, energy and determination. I believe the leaders have to be of good characters and qualities to go well with their citizens. If they fail to fulfil their promises that brought them to that stage, the citizens will be so devastated and then they can as well take things in their hands and they could remove the leader or do a process of recall.
I agree with you lovely planet. I believe being a leader comes with great responsibility but as a leader you must think about your people first before you think about your self. I also think a leaders responsibility comes along for a propose and that purpose should be to move the followers to a better place.. Lastly, I also think for many leaders they only think about the profit they gain from this difficult job which should not be so. Leadership should be for the people.
I agree with you lovely planet but I can actually rule my country for better tomorrow.
A ruler is an emperor who guides and leads his people with great opportunity provided.when I become the president I would provide war ammunition and ammunities for war purpose and also from external forces.
I would create job opportunities for educated people I think these would motivate people to go to school in order to have their own jobs at the end.
I agree with you because if we are the leaders of the country, we would make it better because we have good intentions and we would be able to make our country a better place for us to live in. And to make this possible we must have a good background and a sense of education to be able to stand for our rights no matter what. And if we must become a leader, we must be of intellectual capability to handle the country in our hands, and to do this we need to be highly educated and intelligent. So that is to say education is very important and necessary in every country in order to produce good, pationate and patriotic leaders.
Indeed, I am aware that being a leader can be extremely demanding and stressful, but in my opinion, democratic leadership where citizens participate in the decision-making process will be the most beneficial. After all, why do you think certain individuals or groups find that working together is enjoyable and easy? The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government are examples of this kind of leadership. With democratic leadership, leading a group of individuals or citizens would not be difficult or stressful.
Don't you think the great difficulties could be a trial in order for your citizens to know how perfect you can be in leading them and in managing a country? And don't you think that the reason why the people elected you is for you to correct the mistake(s) already made by the previous leader?
Yes it may be hard but if we do not try we are leaving our country in the hands of our establishment, and what does that say of us what will the future generations think when they see what their country became simply because we refused to try. We are the next generation and we need to take a stand for our country
Hi ,I agree with you as whatever you do even if it is a good thing at least one person will disagree with you, more often than not a lot more people . There is no way of pleasing everyone and then if you make a mistake like you said then everyone will criticise you and again like you said it would be so hard and there would be a lot of pressure on you. Parliament I think is like a big debate and what if your point is proven wrong or you agree with someone from another party and you are prime minister . As well as this you have no privacy and I don’t think you can easily take a day off and it would be very hard work and long hours . And who knows what if your family or family member or friend tried to make you use either your power or maybe some of the countries money to do something like making their birthday a national holiday or asking you to take some money out from taxes so they could buy something for themselves or a family member even if their intentions are good it could get you into trouble if you agree or someone agrees for you. And maybe you have to deal with protesters who might be trying to do something but are doing something dangerous trying to make you do something . Then you also want people to like you and maybe live up to someone else . There are also lots of worries like if no one liked you as prime minister you may be voted out then if you stop being a politician people may not employ you.Then there are investments and trade deals where you can also not please everyone but on top of all that you have to balance normal life such as paying bills and doing jobs around the house, talking to members of your own party to do what you are meant to do and getting angry phone calls from people telling you what you are doing wrong. There may be members of other parties or people who didn’t vote for you and you may even be a parent with a new born or a new child in general or a sick one who you could be worried about even if it is just a cold and you have take them to a school or club and you don’t want to be late or if some kids may not be nice to them as their parents or family members did not vote for you and then you have to try and win the next election and if you don’t you may have to try to win again so that is why I would not like to be the leader ( prime minister )of my country.
Hello Topical Talkers!!
I wouldn't want to be a leader of my country and here's why -
1- I don't want to be a leader, because then to win people's votes and compete with other candidates, I'd have to make promises that are far beyond my standard i.e. cheat the voters.
2- Being a leader is hardworking and also pricey as I interpret. The money I have would be spent in advertising or collaborating with a business as the campaigning goes on.
3- Leaders have to work hard once they've won elections and I'm not sure I'd be ready to take the entire country's responsibility on my shoulder when the time comes.
4- No matter how honest the candidate may be, dishonesty catches the competitor with time and I don't want that happening with me..
my points are of what I think about the politics..no hate to anyone..
Thank you!
Yes, I would like to be the leader of my country one day because I want my country to be a role model in front of the world. I have a deep passion for public service and a genuine desire to serve my fellow citizens. I have a desire to make a positive impact and I believe that becoming a leader would provide me with the platform and authority to implement meaningful change. Being a leader, I can utilize my skills and expertise for the betterment of society. I see the position as an avenue to contribute to the welfare and progress of my country. I can shape policies. It is challenging work to be the leader of a country. If I take the challenge, it will offer me opportunities for learning and development. These skills will benefit me in various aspects of life. I will make a lot of changes. One of the main things that I want to change is gender inequality. In our country, women are not paid as men. They are not in the same position. Men work in a higher position. I want to make equal rights and opportunities not only for men but also for women. Another change, I want to make is to make my country's bribery free. I want a future country where bribery will be sent to the museum.
I solemnly agree with you because if I am the electorate today,I believe that one day I will surely be the candidate. Another reason why I would love to be the leader of my country one day is because,I want to eliminate the problem of food insecurity and scarcity in my country by raising awareness of the implications associated with bush burning and food wastage in my country.
Secondly,I think I support you when you made mention of making a change In gender inequality in your country because if I finally become the leader in my country, I will make a room for gender equality where women will be given the opportunity to go into power and not only the men.
No one is always correct or perfect in everything so you can correct, agree or disagree with me.
I completely agree with you. I chose yes because i love challenges and being the leader of a country is an especially daunting and challenging task. I think that if i ever have a chance to be the leader of my country, I would embrace the challenge and do all in my power to solve as many of my country's problems as possible. My country Nigeria has numerous problems and i think if the right leaders were elected or appointed. 2024 is definitely a huge year for elections with more than 50 countries around the world with a combined population of around 4.2 billion will hold national and regional elections in 2024. If there are this many elections in one year, the international economy will be put on hold as investors will be watching to see were to put their money. If I was the leader of my country, I would do all I can to make good decisions that will benefit the country that I am ruling especially in a year like 2024 where the outcome of every election could determine the future of the world economy especially for countries whose elections will have a huge impact on the global economy.
In this poll, I selected "No" as my choice, because from my point of view recognize that effective leadership demands a mastery of numerous principles and skills, which can pose formidable challenges.
Leadership entails navigating complexities, making difficult decisions, and inspiring others toward a common vision. Yet, despite its demanding nature, adept leadership yields profound rewards.
Thank you.
I want to be a leader in my country someday because I would like to champion policies that will favour young people, women, and the poor. Since the independence of my country in 1960, these three categories have suffered the most. Little or nothing has been done to promote their interest.
Women have suffered all manner of gender inequality; they do have equal representation in government and politics. The policies largely favour the opposite gender. If I become a leader, I will change the narrative for a balanced system.
Young people are also not part of politics because the current set requires a large financial backbone making it impossible for them to participate in electoral processes.
I believe my policies will ultimately set my country in the right direction.
I agree with you but managing the country is hard too . To be honest you have to make series of sacrifice If you want your country to be peaceful, develop and progressive you have to make a lot of sacrifice and you will always show love, kindness and compassion to your people and bring peace and development to your people and the country at large.
So above all you have to be a sacrificial lamb.
Hello respectful song.
I agree with you that managing the country is hard but if you put effort and a lot of thought in your decisions it can be easy too. First of all, i can understand that you may be worried because one wrong decision can affect the whole country. Also, in some countrys prime ministers are being killed just because one of the thousands decisions they made did not satisfied a small part of the nation. I certainly agree that you may hesitate knowing all that but managing your country is important and prideful. Just imagine being the leader of your country, imagine being the one that make your country a better place. All of them are very good but you have to be very good at it and you also have to be stratigic. In this topic after a lot of thought i am neutral because managing your country has a lot of ups but unfortunately a lot of downs as well.
I agree because, Making a certain country secure means that you have to sacrifice a lot of the the things that you would think that regular citizens would get to keep. But as the President/Governor the things that regular citizens get to keep, the government will not get to keep.
THANK YOU.
Yes, I agree with you, it comes with a lot of sacrifices and determination to do such jobs even though it might be seen hard but whatever you want to do , you should do it with the whole of your heart and mind and you will see it easy. I believe they should also be of great attitude so the citizens would love them and also help to make things much more easy.
I feel the same way in all honesty I also understand the concept of bringing love and kindness to the people, but it's not always easy to do so, at many times the established order makes it difficult for the candidate to show their true intentions even if they are good.
I agree with you because as you said the leader must be a sacrificial lamb for the people because if a leader can not be kind, compassionate and peaceful with his people there is no need being the leader and you being elected was just like a wast of time.
I disagree with you if you are a leader you must be able to fulfill the countries need. Let me give you a scenario if politician A has bad wishes and he gets elected he might destroy the country but if he has good wishes he will be able to improve the country.
THANK YOU!
In my own opinion, I say no, because leading a country comes with a lot of sacrifices which is very unfavorable. For example, as a leader, you must sacrifice your own interest and benefits for your citizens to satisfy them. I in particular, I wouldn't be able to sacrifice my interest for others always, so therefore I would not be able to take the responsibility of been a leader.
I agree with you succinct cheetah because as a leader all your dreams will be gone and you will have to sacrifice for a large amount of people but still there will be no peace in the country so there is no point of being a leader. when attacks are going in the county citizens will blame the leader for every thing going on in the country that is the reason why I do not want to be a leader.
I agree because being a leader comes with great responsibility and efforts and not every one has the power to supply countries needs and support a country and as you said you need to make a lot of sacrifices for their interests and benefits I my self won't be able to do it sometimes that is why I say no being a leader comes with great responsibility and efforts and not every one is responsible.
Hey there succinct_cheetah,
You've made a really valid point and I completely agree with you. As said by the famous Spiderman from Marvel Comics'' With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.'' Being the leader of a country comes with a lot of responsibility and also being the leader of a country means you always have to put the needs of your country first in every situation, you will always have to put others interests first above your own interests in order to be a good leader you need to be able to make selfless decisions because every decision you make as a leader could either affect your country positively or negatively.
I disagree with succinct_cheetah because even tho you won't be a leader in future you will have to learn how to sacrifice your time, opportunities and even life for those who need it the the most ,because if you can't sacrifice your things or your life for people then everyone will consider you as a selfish and heartless person.
I agree you succinct cheetah because in my opinion l would not be able to rule and entire country like india even if i would like to rule a country it would be stress. for example i want to become a scientist i would have to abandon my career to rule the role and responsibility of a leader is time consuming and stressful if a country is over populated then i think that another leader should come into power to help with the other responsibilities
Hi!
I chose NO as well. I have never really given a thought to this question, to be honest. However, now that I thought about it, I realise I am not made to be a leader. As you mentioned, you wouldn't always be able to sacrifice your interests, and I agree. I think the responsibility of being a country leader is huge. To be a leader, you must have a lot of qualities like selflessness, optimism etc. Being a leader also comes with large responsibilities as you represent the country. I do not think I am made to handle such responsibilities. Sometimes the pressure may get to you and you might do something bad for the country. I think one should become a leader when they are sure that they would fulfil their role instead of just being a leader for namesake. I think there are so many people out there who would be much better than me at this. So, why waste the resources of the country on those who can be better at something else? Hence, I chose NO.
I agree with you most of our leaders forget about things like their family and their religion. And there mostly only have interest for themselves.
THANK YOU !
I picked no. I don't think I can be a leader because leaders are always and constantly scrutinised whether they are wrong or right. This is something I honestly believe is wrong. Yes I can admit that sometimes the government can be wrong but people keep on accusing them and insulting them People do not even try to put themselves in their shoes. The public are not the only ones that scrutinise, the media and even political opponents who know what it feels like often scrutinise those in power. Every decision you make is analysed, criticised, and debated on whether it is wrong or right. This amount of scrutiny is honestly demoralising and just a burden I don't think I can bear. This is a very wrong habit that has many negative effects on our leader's mental and physical health. I get it is important but the rate at which it is done needs to be reduced.
Though if this level of scrutiny is stopped and people finally start putting themselves in the shoes of those in governance, I might consider being a leader of my country.
I agree with your statement of political leaders always being scrutinize, but leaders are always going to be scrutinize because people always have their own opinions and views. Have you thought if you were a political leader then you would have the power to change people's views on you?
I chose the option no. This is because if I were to become the leader of my country I would attempt to help with the problems in my country, but I wouldn't be able to keep everything together. There is also a high risk of me becoming stressed from the consent demand. Currently, there are many people who are angry at the leader of my country for doing what he believed would help. If I was under that pressure as well, I would continue to make bad decisions in an attempt to keep the citizens happy. While people may bring up checks and balances, the leader of a country is the face of the country. Which puts much more pressure on that person to keep a good image or not be themselves just to please the citizen's thoughts. There have been many incidents where people in power made a risk that citizens did not enjoy, and they suffered the consequences. While I would try my bets to help my country with its problems, I wouldn't be able to think straight with the consent stress and anxiety.
Hi I said yes because I know that my country needs good leaders and we need a change, if I were to lead my country I would do my research looking for the parts of my country that needs improving and I will work on those parts, I can also represent my country and make it a place like no other.
I solidly agree with you charming artist and I also said yes if I am was to be the president of my country, I will make a very big flabbergasting change in my country in the sense that I will sort out and put crisis like gender inequality, food sarsirty and insecurity , corruption etc I promise to put all these things to an end because it has been long when then started practicing all these and am alway ashamed of my country any time it is been mentioned as jne of the most corrupt country in the world. If I my also given the privilege to rule my country, I am also going to develop my country with AI machines so that it can enhance the rate of productivity in the nation. I am also going to ensure that food doesn't go into scarcity in my country and also banned hard drugs, enhancing drugs to be used by any individual in the country. I am also going to empower the youths because there is a spirit of corporation in my country.
Lastly, I am going to ensure tight security and will minimise the way we waste things and manage them properly and also i will ensure our natural resources are been secured. Why I want to do all these is to maintain the name been given to as 'THE GIANT OF AFRICA.'
Thank you very much!!!
Hello guys, I will love to be a leader of my country because, in Nigeria the leaders we have don't do a good job for example now in Nigeria where we have terrorist in the country who kill people for nothing, the government have not done anything to change that if I am in charge of the country I will send well trained securities to stay at those places where we notice all this crime activities happening. secondly right now in Nigeria the rate of which things are raising in price is getting too much I personally will want to own a company when I grow up, and with the way things are going on in Nigeria government should at least help those citizens that cannot afford their needs so they can take care of their families is I was head I will be giving palliatives to those that needs it. So, I advise the Nigerian government to take good care of their citizens because citizens are gradually leaving the country to better counties.
Hi, topical talkers
Actually I pick yes, of if I become a leader I will surely make a positive change in my own country, why because my country today has been downgraded because must of the people chose to leave because of things like:
Lack of economic and financial standard: in this country Nigeria must of our past leaders destroyed our standard when it came down to economic and finance, because while I was in a younger age my did told me that "there was a time when 1 dollar was the same as 1 naira but now the rate which the financial standard is being bought down is actually breathe taking. So I stand on the aim of making a positive change to my country Nigeria.
So in conclusion what I am trying to say is that in my country Nigeria I would like a positive change to her (The country Nigeria) so as to make it peaceful and worth living for so as also to start a new beginning in this my country with the help of the people in the country. Thanks.
I agree because the situation of the country today is nothing to talk about and the only way to change it is to have a good transparent leader but now the rights of citizens are abused and elections are now taken by bribery and corruption and no one is heard again and the minorities are abused and this will affect the country negatively
Honestly I want to be the leader of my country one day. Because, only one leader can make a country better for everyone. I live in Bangladesh. I will not say that my country is developed in all aspects. Currently, poverty is increasing day by day in my country. Currently, the business situation is also very bad. Moreover, I want to improve my country more in the future in terms of education system and economy. According to me all these problems are not possible only for common people. It is possible only through a leader. So if I ever get a chance to be the leader of my country I will definitely take it. It will be a great privilege for me.
Thank you very much for reading my comment.
I said yes because in my country nigeria so many things are moving to the wrong side.
I believe being the president one day would bring a lot of smiles to my people's faces more especially the old and aged people.
Things are hard in nigeria, our economy is getting worst day by day, the poor are crying, they are starving and some of them are also dying because of hunger, it hurts me a lot to know that people are suffering these time in my country nigeria, and I hope to change that with all humanity.
Most children in nigeria are now school dropouts because their parents can not afford their school fees and other requirements, you see people who give in to begging in the streets, many people who has turned into armed robbers and prostitutes because of lack of employment. The economy is getting bad economy is getting bad day by day , because if the kind of leaders we have.
Once I become the president I will first of all make sure nigeria becomes a productive country and not a consuming country. I would also make that we make proper use of our natural and mineral resources to create finished products. I would grant loans for students who do not have money to sponsor themselves. I would make room for everyone to be comfortable. I know doing all these isn't gonna be easy for me as a female, but the woman in me (twim) would help me to do all things with courage and braveness.
I think no because I know that being a leader of a country is really difficult. You have to think about a lot of things, such as: how to satisfy all the citizens' needs, how to help other countries and how to solve problems in the country. I think that as the leader of the country, you would not want to make a mistake as the mistake might mean a lot to the citizens. You will be under pressure after that because you would possibly think that there are going to be a lot of comments against you.
The thing that will need to happen to change my mind is that there will be a person that is brave enough to face the big mistake they made and stand up for themselves against rude comments from people . They will also have to try and satisfy all the citizens' needs so I know it is possible to do all of the things without being kicked out. I know thta it is quite a hard thing to do but I think it is the only way to make me change my mind.
In my opinion I would not like to become the leader of my country. This is because it comes with many difficulties and all of your actions come will the great consequences both good and bad. Almost everything you do will get found out just like the Covid party that Boris Johnston and his members had. This came with consequences such as him having to pay a fine and make a huge apology for breaching his own rules and regulations on what happened during the pandemic. The country is in your hands and many people rely on you to make the correct choices for your country to strive which I feel would be a huge responsibility as the country you are governing over may crumble in your hands which would be your fault.
I will be glad to become the president for one day, I will Like to change what they past president have done in the past and I want to correct it,
Through education: I will provide free education for everyone so that they will have the knowledge of books, like in my country education fees are increasing everyday and some people can not afford the school fees, so I will reduce the school fees to the money that everyone can afford.
Providing jobs for the youths: I will provide jobs for the youth so that they will have money to provide for their needs and his/ her family, to avoid poverty, ignorance and lack of contentment. Today, youth that have graduated and come out with first degree, will not have money to feed and provide for their needs because of lack of employment, this will lead them in stealing and not being contented with what they have, so I will provide jobs for the youth to be able to provide their needs and take care of their families.
Also I will stop gender inequality among the women, I will create awareness for the women for them to speak for their rights and said that our education will not only ends at kitchen, why I said that I will stop gender inequality among the women is because in the past and even now parents will say that the should train they boys in schools and leave the girls because their education will end up at kitchen, for me I will say that parents should train both boys and girls, so that it will create gender equality among the two genders. And another thing I will like to change is corruption like rigging of elections, Drug trafficking in the country and human trafficking especially young girls. I want a better future for the country and let go the past of our former president and move on for the betterment of the country.
Nothing will change my mind on being a leader of a country that's possible. Because if I'm the leader because not first I'm not ready to be a leader and don't meet the requirement and the intellectual requirement so any wrong choose I made everyone would suffer and people might try to take advantage of me because of my age and I'm not as old as them and I'm less experience than them so these are the reason why I said no and nothing will make me change my mind.
I say No because there are too many responsibilities to handle and conquer. I would not know what to do if we are getting attacked I would panic. There's just too much I have to think about all the time. Everyone would know me and try to attack me.
Hi,
I chose NO. A leader's job is risky. You need to think carefully about your next move. There are many problems in a country to solve like: climate change, the economy, relations with other nations and the good for all people. In my country there are a lot of problems like natural disasters, the number of homeless people is increasing and the economy. But there is also a big problem which is the relations with the neighbouring countries like Turkey and Albania. The other reason is that is if I made a mistake accidently then my country could suffer more than it does now. In my opinion, leading a nation is very difficult and risky. But for the people that can handle pressure very easily and always wanted the feeling of a leader, then I would suggest it to them.
I personally would probably be a leader of my country. The reason is because they come with many responsibilities I think I wouldn't want to deal with. If anything is wrongly done it can cause great consequences for me and my country. For example, war can be a leading consequence from wrongdoing. This can cause many death and destruction for the things and people in my country. Also it causes me to have to constantly worry for my life as there are likely people looking to seek harm on me. I personally just want to live a peaceful life with no country-wise responsibilities.
I said no as leading a country comes with great difficulty and immense pressure. Thousands of people would be counting on you to make the right decision in moments of high stakes and under a lot of pressure. If you made a mistake it would be huge as YOU are in charge of the country and the country would suffer any repercussions that came with that mistake.
However a part of me says yes because as a leader you can help to make your Country better. As a leader you could improve the equality in the country that you are leading and help to promote other things like diversity and acceptance of all.
I say yes because in my country people choose leaders that favor them or support tribalism which really affects our country so if I was given the chance to become the leader of my country then I would correct all the mistakes that the past leaders have made I will also try to fulfill all the services all citizens should experience during all elections that happen in my country the elections are rigged so if the candidate of your choice doesn't win then people cause riots and other destructive things if i become the leader of any country i would do it fair and square to encourage other people to stop corruption in politics .
Well, being the leader of your country is a difficult position but at the same time it is a sigh of superiority and prestige. On the one hand, it is a privilege that most people constantly seek to conquer, it shows maturity and supremacy and that you are socially well known and politically trusted. On the other hand, there is too much responsibility, making a mistake is not an individual matter but a collective and it affects everyone living in the country and lastly you are always being shown, causing a lack of privacy.
Yo deduce, in my perspective, I wouldn't like to be the leader of my country. I would rather become someone greater which will offer help to the community, like a doctor which is my dream than do something it will not make me happy for the sake of fame.
Hi amazing folks of Topical Talk!!!
I will obviously want to be a leader for my country one day and there is no thinking twice. I would like, I mean, LOVE to be a future leader because I would like to put things in place because nowadays, my country is suffering financially and behaviourally. The finances are suffering hiccups and the worst part is our debt to IMF(International Monetary Fund). This is one issue I would like to pay attention to when I am a president and no matter how tough it will be, I will persevere and pay all debts so that I can focus on improving the country. Also, the leaders in my country don't lead by example and it ends up affecting our youth because the leaders end up acting in a "corrupt" manner and take the country's money for their private purpose. For example, a leader taking the tax of the citizens for a private purpose like purchasing a new private jet. This action will now lead to the raising of the youth leaders to use public affairs for their private purpose which will he very bad. In this case, I will lead by example and use the country's profit to benefit the country by putting things right and fixing the economy. For example, repairing our roads. Another thing is, I will ensure that the youth will be raised in a manner that they will use creativity skills, thinking skills, problem solving skills, speaking skills to help the economy and for future benefits.
Thank you so much!!!
I would like to be the leader of my country one day as I have many things I would like to improve even further in my country, which I believe would be extremely beneficial.
First, I would like to invest more money into education, but more importantly, the counselling of young people through the school system. I believe that in order to achieve your full potential in education, you need a clear and fresh mind. If students are constantly worrying about something, their mind isn’t focusing fully, leading to struggles academically, which may not have existed for someone before. In the UK, 37.3% of people suffering with mental health seek support. That leaves 63.7% of people suffering with mental health issues not seeking support. 63.7%. The majority of these people suffering with mental health issues are children. Therefore, I believe that these issues should be dealt with in a way which helps the patient become mentally healthier and achieve better results academically.
Next, I would also attempt to defeat homelessness as it is an ongoing issue in the UK and more worryingly, globally. I believe that if more funds go into homeless shelters and services to help those left without work to find jobs, we can decrease the amount of homelessness significantly. Yes, it isn’t likely that we can conquer all homelessness as the government don’t have the funds to only spend money on that, however, if we don’t try harder we will never find out.
I want to be a leader in my country to make it a better and more independent country. According to the current situations that my country is facing, here are some things I will do to make Nigeria a better country
1) I will fix the bad road that the other leaders did not fix: Nigeria has a lot of bad roads and that is some of the things that are making road accidents very common in Nigeria and a lot of Nigerians are complaining about this, so it needs to stop.
2) I will make a rule and that will be that ethnicity and religion should not be things that determine the job or occupation that you will have.
3) I will stop the common Buku Haram from turning my country into a crisis zone.
These are a few of the things that I will do to make Nigeria a better country for Nigerians to live happily in without ant complaints of a sort.
I will be the leader of my country, I say this because I feel I have the necessary requirements to be a leader and not a ruler because I aspire to bring my country into a new age of peace and prosperity, unlike the leaders of the past I would also like to tackle the problems of our economy largely basing on the economies of other countries and I’m going to change that.
I think I would love to be the leader of my country one day because, I think that if I become a leader I could make positive impact in my country and the world at large. I could reduce the rate of corruption and build up my country in a positive way. In my opinion, when good leaders are elected,they make a country great.
Why i said no is because i think a leader is saddled with a lot of responsibilities so much that if he/she is not courageous or bold, there is every possibility that he/she might run away when the going gets tough due to pressure.
I would love to be a leader because...nowadays people think being a leader is a "big deal" even good people. As a leader i should posses these qualities which are: Bravery, Integrity, Rational, Patriotic, Good listener, Inclusivity, etc.
Which without them is like a sinking ship without a captain.
I said yes to be a leader, and what I would change in a country is to make the basic human needs available which are food, shelter, good roads and clothing in the country. In my country there is scarcity of food. Lately, farmers are afraid to go to their farms because of banditry. As a leader I would get a diplomat to find a way to get to know why they are harassing the farmers, and find a way to strike a balance depending on what is causing the unrest between the farmers and the bandits.
Hi everyone!
If you ask me, I would like the be the leader of my country some day because I want to do great things for my people for example, change wrong rules, favor everyone, no bias, and and achieve justice in the nation. Also I can become a role model for people who want to become leaders if I do the right thing. Even if becoming a leader can have a lot of duties and responsibilities, I would like to make a great change that will be remembered for by other.
I voted NO because i think a leader have so many responsibilities and it is too much work. They do not rest or spend good time with their families and loved ones. Some of them even receive threats from people or even get killed because other people do not like them.
I want to be able to spend time with my family and live happily with everyone.
THANK YOU.
Hi, topical talkers
I choose Yes, I say this because I
Am the first born of my parent, ,growing up in two other siblings, I always practised being a leader with them like they say leaders lead by example. I must say in this past few years of practicing leadership with my siblings I realized that leadership comes with a lot of hard work.
I can lead a country by being hard working, not being selfish and being greedy.
I also that feel at the government level, I will have a lot to contribute in term policies that are eco friendly, favourable immigration policies etc having been exposed topics in Topical Talk Festival.
I feel capable of leadership in the future because TTF in a way is preparing me with all the exposure I am getting.
Thank you!
Hello everyone,i choose yes because
i want to be a leader so that i can make changes like making Job available for young adults, building for homeless people and education orphans or give scholarships because most of these things are challenges in my country. There are lots of youth without job and it is not good.
There are lots of people who do not have means or money to go to school like I do. So it will be very nice and good to see that these things are put in place for my people when I become a leader.
I would love to be the leader of my country because everyone in my country will be able to vote and they would not have to work out of their house and vote they use an app to vote and no one would not be comfortable if they are not comfortable they would not want to vote again.
Good day fellow topical talkers,
I did say yes because in my country there is a lot of corruption which needs to be dealt with and it’s people like me that are bound to make the change in the country, no matter the methods we use, like the social media platforms and all other rules we make to govern the nation, rebuilding and renovating national facilities for the betterment of the country or the nation!
Infact if I should become the president of my nation for one day my nation who is it become a better place to live!
Hi everyone
I said yes, because my country is underdeveloped there is scarcity of food and these has caused so many insecurities for food and there is also hunt for money in the Nigerian societies.
When I become the president of my able country Nigeria , I would make sure all individuals who are willing to work has their own work relating to their field of study or specialization . Everyone would also be treated equally, there would be nothing like the minority, every religion would be accepted hence that's were your faith lies.
As the president I would build a home for the disables in each state so that other people would be classified in their various units for instance; from 0-17 are of the dependent age, from 18-60 are the working class age, from 60- above are also classified as the dependent age. I would make sure there is proper enlightenment on the effects of bush burning to the land, I would make sure that I emphasize on planting in an erosion free space or land. I would develop a sector were everyone is tested to know the capability of what he or she can do to facilitate and enhance productivity. I would encourage musicians to bring more fame to our country through their concert tours. I would sometimes share palliatives to individuals in order to encourage them and I would also plead for the wealthy people like the musicians, the actors and actresses the business cartels to also help the challenged im terms of financial assistance.
With all these my empire would be runned 100mwters with no much problems.
THANKS.
It wasn't that hard to decide because my vote was no because I am not ready to handle or represent up to 2million people because some might not appreciate my way of leadership or might protest against me and my followers so I am really not ready to have or handle my country.
Hello educated_fox
I agree with you because like you said i am not yet ready to be a leader . So incase the something goes wrong during my leadership, i will not be held responsible. It will be so scary to think that the faith of over 200 million people lies in my hand and if i make a wrong move they will start protesting that i am a bad leader.
Thank you.
I said yes because I would like to solve those problems that the past leaders were not able to solve during their regime one of the problems I would solve is gender inequality. Gender inequality is being practiced all over the world which brings about low self esteem, everyone has the right to become what they would want to be. And presently some of the leaders has not put much attention and effort on that aspect in our parent country and how I would solve it is by creating awareness becabuse of the rural areas, and also making policies against gender inequality, free education for all on gender inequality I would make sure everyone walks together In oder to fight against gender inequality in Nigeria.
Yes, I wish to be the leader of my country one day, although, handling any country is not easy as a pie. Tackling a large population is a very great responsibility. My country has been growing and developing, it is the largest democracy, and has lots of achievements, so for anyone to keep it up and transform the nation to a well developed country, meet the demands and desires of its people is not effortless.
Even though, I wish to be the leader of my nation because, I think there are still some issues which are required to be thrown out or solutions for the same are needed. Most importantly, I want to build a positive effect on my country and want to show that India may not be considered the best, but it has many advantages due its location. I want citizens to know that a large population is not required to be seen as a burden, it can become our power.
Therefore, I would like to become the leader of my country.
I would say yes because l want to change
somethings which is to punish anyone who makes a less than 16 years child work, to look diligently at people who will work in the government (can be the police or a judge for example) and finally change my country educationally because it needs to improve and it doesn't focus on skills of the child like the international schools.
About leading a country I know it's a great responsibility in which you lead a major country, you adjust to the country's future. You might have asked what risks would you pass your passage or career, so I will say. You can face calamities or disasters in it that you think you cannot quell and they can be
1:Stock market falling
2: Financial situations
3: Organisations moreover people and conflicts with the government about a problematic issue
4: saying that you are not useful
All of this would make you feel
anxious because you made your maximum effort but all was in vain.
Yes , the first thing I will improve the economy. I won't print alot of money so that the value of the Egyptian pound won't go down ,and give other countries some money so that if we in egypt had a problem in money we will ask these countries to give us our money back and solve the problem.
Then I will build more hospitals ,so that people can stay alive for a long time , and so he will work more , and help the community.
Then I will build alot of schools and universities , and make courses for teachers so that they can be better , and I will add more information to the books .
Some information that you could add to the books are how to improve the economy around you, do the best that you could do, or have a book on the topic of helping a person be prepared with many responsibilities.
For me it's a no cause leading a country or a state is very difficult because there will be a lot of tension on you and the amount of people who rely on you and are depending on you also much take you disappoint that will be a major downfall for for your reputation. leadership is a very hard tag so you have to make a decision if you are ready to take over country or not so you have to be decisive and be careful which position you take or lead.
I responded yes and I would like to make changes to education, work, and the government. I have observed the difficulties students like me face while completing homework. I would fund programs to provide resources and tutoring to students. Additionally, I want to increase mentorship programs to remove the youth from crime and violence. I would like the workforce to allow their employees to work less and have more done. Although I live in a very advanced and privileged society, there is a lot of demand and work someone has to do in certain jobs. This has made teachers, doctors, nurses, and other workers feel very stressed and might cause them to quit. The shortage of teachers might be from the stress, disrespect, and work they have to do. I would like the government to be more neutral and efficient. I would advocate for independence and the friendly interactions between parties. I would assign officials who do not clearly emphasize their party.
I said no, because of how many decisions the leader of the country has to make. They also have to go to numerous places and likely do not have any downtime. This could cause a lot of stress and I personally am not good at any of these things. Therefore this job would not be a very good fit for me.
Welcome! Leadership is the ability to bring a vision to life.
I have always wanted to be a leader. As I grew up, I learned about the politics and I am still learning about it. But when we talk about it, it's always about corruption.
As a leader, I want to change this perception. I want to lead the country towards a better future. When people hear the name of my country, I want them to take it with pride and as a model. I want to create an ideal nation that is still prosperous. I want to add more quality to the quality of life. I want to reduce poverty. I want to increase education and health coverage.
Particularly, the two pillars of HEALTH and EDUCATION can propel a nation's prosperity.
I would not want to lead my country for many reasons, some personal and some general. As long as I can remember, different leaders have promised a bright future for our country till date, We see people on the road sleeping, and there are days when houses don't get water and electricity. Electricity bills are half what workers pay. In addition, to begin with, engaging in corrupt practices provides a means for individuals, who may not be deserving in terms of their skills or experiences, to attain leadership positions, whether in the political or professional sphere. This is evident because corruption typically involves some form of abuse of power, and this may include the manipulation of a supposed'meritocratic' selection process to unfairly provide an advantage to an individual who engages in such practices, or to facilitate the promotion of a particular candidate by impeding the progress of others. And indeed, a study by Koduah, Amoako, and Osei-Akoto, published in the Journal of Third World Studies in 2013, showed that some 80 percent of the 'political elite' in Ghana had amassed 'ill-gotten wealth' via corrupt activities at some point. However, it should be noted that corruption, of course, does not operate in a vacuum; the extent and nature of corruption in the executive and in other areas of leadership can be influenced by a diverse range of factors. For example, historians such as T. P. Ofosu, the author of The Institutionalization of Political Corruption in my country, have argued that the advent of 'winner-takes-all' electoral politics in the mid-20th century not only encouraged corruption in the formal political sphere by promoting a 'by any means necessary' approach, but also gradually became a part of the 'inherited political culture' of my country over the subsequent decades. I'm willing only to lead my country once it becomes selfless and others needs are placed before the leaders'. Thank you
Hey everyone
I wholeheartedly agree with most of you and I'm gonna go with no cause leading a country would somehow be the biggest mistake I make cause a slight mistake could make many people against you, everyone is gonna rely and depend on you if you slightly threat some people unfairly you'll just be receiving reports and seriously it's a thumb up to our president,governors and senators there really trying by ruling people and trying to be fair
Wow! I see many people with good points! So thumbs up dedicated strategy! Well for me i choose NO even though deep in my heart I wanna be a leader of my country but in the outside I don't, cuz I know all the consequences that might occur e.g when I become one, most people wouldn’t like me because of one thing or the other cuz maybe l catapulted someone’s house because i wanna build a road, the person from his/her perspective and his friends will probably think bad of me, but from the positive side i know i did the right thing and the only thing that remains for me to do will be giving the person money to build another house. Therefore that would make the person happy I guess! But I still don’t want to be a leader cuz in my country most of the leaders say they will do this and that for the country, but once they become leaders they never do what they say maybe because of the money they get, so I used to wonder that maybe if I become one I would behave like them.
Hi attentive meteor your absolutely correct do you mind me telling you something we'll if you don't let me tell you the first reason I don't wanna be a leader
*responsibility and pressure
* criticism
* decision making
* time commitment
*lack of interest
* not wanting to manage others
* fear of responsibilities
And actually because I'm not a fan of deciding what is good and wrong for people.
This goes for all topical talkers!
Deciding what is good and wrong for people might not be your thing but imagine you where the leader and you do everything the right way wouldn't People love you and select you next time?
And again it's no use having the fear of responsibilities cuz if you know you're doing the right thing there's no point bothering, I thought of the same thing the other time but then it came to me that what if I'm doing the right thing I don't really need to bother.
And for the other half of me the reason why it wants to be a leader is because:
*Leading people better
*Making Nigeria among the best countries
*And inspire them to depend on their country for everything not others.
*And last but not the least, to improve our technology!
And if all of you guys are with me, let's do better in our education!
Cuz it's the KEY
Hey!
I would be honoured to be the leader of my country one day. I am a firm believer of the fact that if you want something changed in the world, do it yourself. We cannot wait for others to realise the vitality of our ambitions and commence working on it for our sake. No one is that selfless.
It's a common knowledge that power corrupts the mind... If I want something transmogrified in my nation, I would try to avoid dependence on everyone. On everyone I fear will lose sight of the ultimate goal - welfare of humanity. We can never be of a mindset akin a 100%. There will always be differences... Hence, I would rather be in power myself, so that my difference of opinion can be heard.
I think another reason I would like to be the leader of my nation would be because I am confident enough in my love for my nation to know that I would always work in it's best intentions, and I am confident in my own alibies to bear the responsibility of the growth and development of 1.4 Billion people.
If I got a chance to be the leader of my country even for one day, then I will choose the judiciary and the police department to make it corruption free and also choose to make my ministers and other members of my team to make them corruption free. If I can build a parliament with only honest and patriotism people, then half of the problem of my country will come to an end. Those honest leaders and ministers will work to solve the problem in their respective areas which will result to help the citizen of my country to live a good life. Nothing is more important to me than the good life of my citizen and people. The ministers will work to solve the issues and work for the development of their respective area along with the whole country. I along with my teammate will work for the betterment and advancement of the country. Then I will ensure that the police and judiciary department are free from corruption. So that when any people will come to the police, they can get justice. Also, the police will not take benefits of the condition of the citizen rather they will work for the justice and betterment of the people. I will establish a law that if any police officer did any crime, he will get 3 times more punishment than the normal people, which will ensure the honesty and also will prevent my police officers in doing any crime. When the ministers and the police department will be free from corruption, then they will work together for the betterment of the country as well as its people. I will personally monitor everything and will ensure that every people get justice and are able to meet their own needs. I think that if I can make this two-area corruption free then ultimately all areas will be free from corruption in no time. Then my country will be able to progress and will be able to advance keeping pace with the world.
YES, I always wanted to be the leader of my country, I have a great passion for politics and issues and general and always want a solution to solve them! You have an enormous number of responsibilities, but every day is different and every day there is a chance for change, I would reverse so many new laws in my country recently like the XL bully ban, the Uk sending refugees to Rwanda and many good significant changes like promoting and making change to reverse the severe case of climate change and global warming. Making Free school lunches in the entire Uk for children ages 4-11, many children go hungry because a household of income can't afford school lunches and food in general, for the lower class providing more essentials in Food banks. Banning vapes entirely and making it illegal for people under the age of 18 to purchase or use one, I see many young people from the ages 11-16 vaping more than I do smokers in general, vapes are not tested yet and are an entirely new invention and people do not know what the side effects are and what will happen to vapers in 20-30 years.
I know that being in charge of a country is hard but choosing the right person for that role is the most important thing you could ever do. A good leader means good country and citizens and culture. If I ever do go into politics, please vote for me :)
If I were the leader of the country I would be totally fascinated.
First of all I would change all the factories into eco factories using eco friendly products to reduce any pollution and damage to the environment..I would spend some money for a better protection system for my country using AI technology in order to predict earthquakes and extreme weather conditions.
I would definitely invest a lot of money on education, trying to implement into the curriculum innovative methods such as learning about green skills
I said yes, and it is not precisly because of mi self confidence as a ruler, is bacause its difficult be wose that who is all ready. Just so you understad in the national the Left won. And in less than a month in the autonomous comunities almost all sapain changed minds.
But as thats not the question the main changes will be:
Ban PERMANENTLY amnistia, reduce helps for non employed people (the ones ho don't work because they don't want and just live with helps), eliminate the free 500 euros of becoming 18 years old, modernise the industry, improve the control over Catalonia, punish iligal imigration, pay our enormous dedth, mothernise the pension system, improve our relationship with our allais and improve the public health and the public education.
As you can see those are to many things that not only there are a lot and need a lot of improvement's also the actual president isen even talking about it.
I choose yes, if by chance I was given the privilege of being tasked with leading Nigeria, my primary aim would be establishing and enforcing policies that increase economic development, reduce corruption, and enhance healthcare and education sectors. To be specific, I would focus on investing in infrastructure like refineries to increase productivity and produce opportunities for employment, simultaneously enforcing strict rules and regulations to fight against corruptive practices, which deteriorates progress. Also, I would gather resources to enhance access to quality healthcare and education, for better development. For instance, Nigeria experiences crucial struggles in healthcare, with only 4.7% of GDP spent on healthcare in 2021, according to World Bank data. Similarly, Nigeria's education system faces difficulties like low literacy rates, with only 61.3% literacy rate among adults aged 15 and above in 2021. So, spending on education to better literacy rates and improve the quality of education would be also important.
I say "no" to being a leader. I have different reasons. I think they can help without being the leader. I might work on projects or help l say "no" because they like their privacy. Leaders are famous, and everyone knows what they do. Some people don't like that and want to have a quiet life insteasay "no" because they don't think they're good enough to be a leader. Being a leader is tough, and you need to know a lot of things. Some people think they're better at other things and want to do those instead.
In the end, it's okay to say "yes" or "no" to being a leader. Everyone can help in their own way, whether they're in charge or not. It's important to do what feels right for you.
Correct.
Declining a leadership role is a choice I make for various reasons. I believe I can contribute effectively without assuming a leadership position, possibly by working on projects or offering assistance. Some individuals opt out of leadership roles due to a preference for privacy, as leaders often attract public attention and scrutiny. Others decline leadership responsibilities because they doubt their capabilities or feel more suited to other pursuits. Ultimately, it is acceptable to accept or decline leadership roles based on personal preferences. Every individual can contribute meaningfully, whether as a leader or in a supportive capacity. It is essential to prioritize personal well-being and alignment with individual strengths when making such decisions.
Hello topical talkers,
I would not want to lead my country someday. I say this because if people are still looking for the candidate they would want to vote for, I may promise them some goods or some free resources so that they can vote for me. And if they vote for me and I am not able to provide what I have promised, they may feel angry because they would feel like I just deceived them that I would give them goods and resources just to vote for me. And they may also cause things like riots or even protests just to bring me down. And another reason I say this is because, as a leader, people would always look up to you to provide what they need that would help them in the country. So if I make a mistake, it can really effect my country, and then people would want to bring me down and bring a new leader. And I am also scared because, some other political candidates may even threaten your country just to bring me down. In fact, there was a day when we were having a class on our H.C.A ( History and Current Affairs), then the H.C.A teacher said that ''When the people age able for voting went and voted for a president in Nigeria, one of the candidates that did not win in the election felt cheated because he taught that I.N.E.C ( Independent National Electoral Commission ) did not do a honest poll count or they were bribed just to miscount the votes. So after some weeks after the election, he threatened the elected president that he would kill millions of Nigerians if he does not give the presidential position over to him''. So I would not like one of the candidate that didn't get voted for to threaten me, innocent people and the country just to get into that position. So in conclusion those are all the reasons I would not like to rule in my country.
I agree with you, trusting_interaction. I feel like I would not be able to cope with the decisions I would have to make and the problems that follow them. I also don't want to get involved with various conflicts that could disturb the safety of my citizens.
Hello topical talkers,
It was quite a complicated decision but I actually pressed yes. Leading a country comes with a great responsibility. I believe that I have the capabilities to lead country. I would like a lot to help my coyntry, Greece overcome its problems easily. I would not like to be negative and I would be determined to complete my mission. Of course in some way I could a lot of difficulties but I dont think I would give up. I would help my country in political and financial sector. Finally, I would try to bring a total equality to my country and do all these things immediately.
I think that being a ruler for one day can help the people of that particular area. Being a ruler means that you consider the citizens of that society.
Even if they are only a ruler for one day, they can still create a lot of change. In some countries the president could help by making a rule that more places are conserved and no one can kill animals or cut down trees.
THANK YOU.
As for me if I were asked to be the president of my country I would not be because this country that I leave in is not meant for anyone who wants to be the president. The person that we need as a president in Nigeria is problem solving, open to other people and is not someone that doesn't have nepotism or is not have tribalism.
I say no ,somethings that might change my mind about the job are things like, if someone showed me if the job might be interesting or challenging because i like challenging situations. I feel like i wouldn't enjoy such a position of power I prefer any other job like in the education system or a civil servant not in such a powerful position. Maybe if someone inspired me to get the position I might be interested. It may be also difficult to rule an entire nation. And have some pressings decisions to make for the country ,and then if I make the wrong decision it might affect the countries reputation.
I really don't want to be the leader of my country because I am not ready to make decisions that wouldn't only affect me but the whole country and with the state in which my country is right now I think they need serious help to fix the country and find a leader which is loyal for it. There is certainly no situation when I would change my mind and even if they said they would pay me a million dollars, I would still not change my decision but I think this might change the perspective of other people who want only the money. I expect that other people have their different reasons.
I agree because being a leader is not just about having the name, it also comes with great responsibility and tasks that I feel I cannot handle. I also agree with you because of this your point you have stated about making decisions, this is an aspect of being a leader that many people cannot seem to understand, as a leader, you are a representative of your subjects which means your decisions are made on behalf of your subjects. So one responsibility of a leader is making decisions for the people, so as a leader, before you take a decision, always know that someone is affected. This to me is what make it hard for someone to be a leader.
THANK YOU.
Hello, there.
Yes, I definitely want to be the leader of my country for one day because I want to present my country to the world as a developed and glorious country . I think, leadership is a national and political responsibility. As a leader, I will work for overall development of my country. First of all I will try to eradicate poverty in the country. I will take various programs to eradicate poverty. I will distribute free food and other opportunities among poor people. Also provide them education and treatment and create adequate employment. Secondly, I will provide education to all the children of my country. I will provide free education to those who cannot get education for money. Also I will take various programs to stop child labour. In this way we will create an educated and developed nation. Thirdly, as a leader, I will eliminate social problems like gender discrimination, violence against women, juvenile delinquency, superstition etc. I will create awareness among the people to solve these problems. Also I will encourage the people to fight against climate change. Above all, I will try my best to fulfill a national responsibility like being a leader. I will transform my country from developing to developed country by eliminating all social problems of the country and by social and economic development.
Okay, I say yes because I know that when I become the leader of my country Nigeria, I would change so many things and make life easy for each and every one of the citizens in my country.
I would first of all call on enlightenment about things that causes scarcity like irrigation, bush burning, planting on erosion grounds and the rest. I would also call on enlightenment for rape, human trafficking, drug trafficking and the rest of them to be stopped because these are what gives bad name to a country.
I would help the less privileged financially, I would avoid the term minority and majority groups, everyone must be treated equally with fair play and transparency.
My country Nigeria would be a hot cake because I would make sure all our mineral and natural resources are properly made use of. I would build refineries in order to make sure non of our natural are transported to another country for refining.
Thanks

HELLO Fellow topical talkers
I said no because leading a country comes with great difficulty. If I make any mistake it would be huge because the country is a large place so it will inflict damage to the country. Many duties will be made by me any ad decision will lead to bad things in the country. But if I was a leader I would try much to achieve equality.
THANK YOU!
I agree with it comes with difficulty and also challenges and also responsibilities and duties to the people I believe is not easy and taking a responsibility like this and not doing it and fulfilling it is much bigger and wrong and if a person is capable and has a leader's qualities that person should not rule.I agree with it comes with difficulty and also challenges and also responsibilities and duties to the people I believe is not easy and taking a responsibility like this and not doing it and fulfilling it is much bigger and wrong and if a person is capable and has a leader's qualities that person should not rule.I agree with it comes with difficulty and also challenges and also responsibilities and duties to the people I believe is not easy and taking a responsibility like this and not doing it and fulfilling it is much bigger and wrong and if a person is capable and has a leader's qualities that person should not rule.
Hello lovely_ planet I agree with you if a ruler has a big responsibility on his shoulders and doesn't do anything about it an maybe in his campaign hesl said something he wants to do maybe after the election he will not fulfill what he said and did not fulfill the needs of the citizens of a country, the citizens would not be happy and they might take matter's in their own hands.
THANK YOU!
I totally agree with you because if a ruler promises the citizens to do something and he/she doesn't, they will think that he was a bad ruler that brakes his promise and will never vote for him or anyone else from his party thinking that they are all the same even if they are not.
Hi calm cloud
I agree with you on the fact of the citizens not being happy and might take matter's in their own hands. To avoid this, leaders should not make too many promises that they will not be able to fulfil. Presently in my country, there are a lot of unfulfilled promises that have made the citizens to take laws into their hands by going to government warehouses with food items and looting them. Thing like this can be avoided by leaders being honest to the people they are leading.
THANK YOU.
HELLO fun ant,
I agree with you because I also have seen all this things that you have written down. Presidents make promises that they themselves cannot fulfill and this makes the country citizens go ballistic and they will sometimes have to steal and loot for a living. For example, not long ago in my country Nigeria a trailer that was carrying goods to a warehouse got looted and people stole everything from it.
I just say that presidents should be able to fulfill all the promises made for the betterment of the country economically and financially.
THANK YOU!!!
Hi openhearted_music;
Your comment got me thinking. A leader is the main person responsible for the development of a country. A leader contributes the most to the development of a country. If he can act honestly. But most of the times the leaders do not keep their word and betray the people. Because of all these leaders, many countries of the world have not been able to develop even today. Rather, the country's economy, education system and the source of employment for various employees are being destroyed. I think that the people as well as the leader have some fault behind it. Because the people elect their leaders. I think the country will be able to improve only if the people elect an honest and ethical leader of their choice. Then leaders must keep their promises. What is your opinion about this? Hope you understand my views and questions. Please answer my question as soon as possible.
Thanks.
I totally agree with you on your comment because no this present country Nigeria, our leaders made lots of promises to us what they were going to do for us when they get into power. The Governor of my state even went to the radio station
Hello calm_cloud
I will differ with you in citizens taking laws into their hands, this will not work my country and might even result into violent conflict (between supporters) in a country like mine. In Nigeria over the years, we have consistently seen people refusing to oppose a leader who is oppressing simply because he comes from their divide of religion or ethnicity. Those who tend to oppose are seen to be criticizing his/her because where he comes from and sometimes they maybe right.
I agree with you because if a leader does not fulfill his campaign promises, there might be some form of apathy on its citizen to the extent that some may take matters into their own hands and it will affect his administration.
Yes, I agree with you. Doing such jobs require much responsibility and although it may be so difficult and can bring challenges. Getting to a higher level requires time, energy and determination. I believe the leaders have to be of good characters and qualities to go well with their citizens. If they fail to fulfil their promises that brought them to that stage, the citizens will be so devastated and then they can as well take things in their hands and they could remove the leader or do a process of recall.
I agree with you lovely planet. I believe being a leader comes with great responsibility but as a leader you must think about your people first before you think about your self. I also think a leaders responsibility comes along for a propose and that purpose should be to move the followers to a better place.. Lastly, I also think for many leaders they only think about the profit they gain from this difficult job which should not be so. Leadership should be for the people.
I agree with you lovely planet but I can actually rule my country for better tomorrow.
A ruler is an emperor who guides and leads his people with great opportunity provided.when I become the president I would provide war ammunition and ammunities for war purpose and also from external forces.
I would create job opportunities for educated people I think these would motivate people to go to school in order to have their own jobs at the end.
I agree with you because if we are the leaders of the country, we would make it better because we have good intentions and we would be able to make our country a better place for us to live in. And to make this possible we must have a good background and a sense of education to be able to stand for our rights no matter what. And if we must become a leader, we must be of intellectual capability to handle the country in our hands, and to do this we need to be highly educated and intelligent. So that is to say education is very important and necessary in every country in order to produce good, pationate and patriotic leaders.
Indeed, I am aware that being a leader can be extremely demanding and stressful, but in my opinion, democratic leadership where citizens participate in the decision-making process will be the most beneficial. After all, why do you think certain individuals or groups find that working together is enjoyable and easy? The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government are examples of this kind of leadership. With democratic leadership, leading a group of individuals or citizens would not be difficult or stressful.
Don't you think the great difficulties could be a trial in order for your citizens to know how perfect you can be in leading them and in managing a country? And don't you think that the reason why the people elected you is for you to correct the mistake(s) already made by the previous leader?
Yes it may be hard but if we do not try we are leaving our country in the hands of our establishment, and what does that say of us what will the future generations think when they see what their country became simply because we refused to try. We are the next generation and we need to take a stand for our country
Hi ,I agree with you as whatever you do even if it is a good thing at least one person will disagree with you, more often than not a lot more people . There is no way of pleasing everyone and then if you make a mistake like you said then everyone will criticise you and again like you said it would be so hard and there would be a lot of pressure on you. Parliament I think is like a big debate and what if your point is proven wrong or you agree with someone from another party and you are prime minister . As well as this you have no privacy and I don’t think you can easily take a day off and it would be very hard work and long hours . And who knows what if your family or family member or friend tried to make you use either your power or maybe some of the countries money to do something like making their birthday a national holiday or asking you to take some money out from taxes so they could buy something for themselves or a family member even if their intentions are good it could get you into trouble if you agree or someone agrees for you. And maybe you have to deal with protesters who might be trying to do something but are doing something dangerous trying to make you do something . Then you also want people to like you and maybe live up to someone else . There are also lots of worries like if no one liked you as prime minister you may be voted out then if you stop being a politician people may not employ you.Then there are investments and trade deals where you can also not please everyone but on top of all that you have to balance normal life such as paying bills and doing jobs around the house, talking to members of your own party to do what you are meant to do and getting angry phone calls from people telling you what you are doing wrong. There may be members of other parties or people who didn’t vote for you and you may even be a parent with a new born or a new child in general or a sick one who you could be worried about even if it is just a cold and you have take them to a school or club and you don’t want to be late or if some kids may not be nice to them as their parents or family members did not vote for you and then you have to try and win the next election and if you don’t you may have to try to win again so that is why I would not like to be the leader ( prime minister )of my country.
Hello Topical Talkers!!
I wouldn't want to be a leader of my country and here's why -
1- I don't want to be a leader, because then to win people's votes and compete with other candidates, I'd have to make promises that are far beyond my standard i.e. cheat the voters.
2- Being a leader is hardworking and also pricey as I interpret. The money I have would be spent in advertising or collaborating with a business as the campaigning goes on.
3- Leaders have to work hard once they've won elections and I'm not sure I'd be ready to take the entire country's responsibility on my shoulder when the time comes.
4- No matter how honest the candidate may be, dishonesty catches the competitor with time and I don't want that happening with me..
my points are of what I think about the politics..no hate to anyone..
Thank you!
Yes, I would like to be the leader of my country one day because I want my country to be a role model in front of the world. I have a deep passion for public service and a genuine desire to serve my fellow citizens. I have a desire to make a positive impact and I believe that becoming a leader would provide me with the platform and authority to implement meaningful change. Being a leader, I can utilize my skills and expertise for the betterment of society. I see the position as an avenue to contribute to the welfare and progress of my country. I can shape policies. It is challenging work to be the leader of a country. If I take the challenge, it will offer me opportunities for learning and development. These skills will benefit me in various aspects of life. I will make a lot of changes. One of the main things that I want to change is gender inequality. In our country, women are not paid as men. They are not in the same position. Men work in a higher position. I want to make equal rights and opportunities not only for men but also for women. Another change, I want to make is to make my country's bribery free. I want a future country where bribery will be sent to the museum.
I solemnly agree with you because if I am the electorate today,I believe that one day I will surely be the candidate. Another reason why I would love to be the leader of my country one day is because,I want to eliminate the problem of food insecurity and scarcity in my country by raising awareness of the implications associated with bush burning and food wastage in my country.
Secondly,I think I support you when you made mention of making a change In gender inequality in your country because if I finally become the leader in my country, I will make a room for gender equality where women will be given the opportunity to go into power and not only the men.
No one is always correct or perfect in everything so you can correct, agree or disagree with me.
THANKS.
I completely agree with you. I chose yes because i love challenges and being the leader of a country is an especially daunting and challenging task. I think that if i ever have a chance to be the leader of my country, I would embrace the challenge and do all in my power to solve as many of my country's problems as possible. My country Nigeria has numerous problems and i think if the right leaders were elected or appointed. 2024 is definitely a huge year for elections with more than 50 countries around the world with a combined population of around 4.2 billion will hold national and regional elections in 2024. If there are this many elections in one year, the international economy will be put on hold as investors will be watching to see were to put their money. If I was the leader of my country, I would do all I can to make good decisions that will benefit the country that I am ruling especially in a year like 2024 where the outcome of every election could determine the future of the world economy especially for countries whose elections will have a huge impact on the global economy.
In this poll, I selected "No" as my choice, because from my point of view recognize that effective leadership demands a mastery of numerous principles and skills, which can pose formidable challenges.
Leadership entails navigating complexities, making difficult decisions, and inspiring others toward a common vision. Yet, despite its demanding nature, adept leadership yields profound rewards.
Thank you.
I agree because becoming a leader of any country comes with innumerable struggles and obstacles throughout the span.
I want to be a leader in my country someday because I would like to champion policies that will favour young people, women, and the poor. Since the independence of my country in 1960, these three categories have suffered the most. Little or nothing has been done to promote their interest.
Women have suffered all manner of gender inequality; they do have equal representation in government and politics. The policies largely favour the opposite gender. If I become a leader, I will change the narrative for a balanced system.
Young people are also not part of politics because the current set requires a large financial backbone making it impossible for them to participate in electoral processes.
I believe my policies will ultimately set my country in the right direction.
I agree with you but managing the country is hard too . To be honest you have to make series of sacrifice If you want your country to be peaceful, develop and progressive you have to make a lot of sacrifice and you will always show love, kindness and compassion to your people and bring peace and development to your people and the country at large.
So above all you have to be a sacrificial lamb.
Hello respectful song.
I agree with you that managing the country is hard but if you put effort and a lot of thought in your decisions it can be easy too. First of all, i can understand that you may be worried because one wrong decision can affect the whole country. Also, in some countrys prime ministers are being killed just because one of the thousands decisions they made did not satisfied a small part of the nation. I certainly agree that you may hesitate knowing all that but managing your country is important and prideful. Just imagine being the leader of your country, imagine being the one that make your country a better place. All of them are very good but you have to be very good at it and you also have to be stratigic. In this topic after a lot of thought i am neutral because managing your country has a lot of ups but unfortunately a lot of downs as well.
I agree because, Making a certain country secure means that you have to sacrifice a lot of the the things that you would think that regular citizens would get to keep. But as the President/Governor the things that regular citizens get to keep, the government will not get to keep.
THANK YOU.
Yes, I agree with you, it comes with a lot of sacrifices and determination to do such jobs even though it might be seen hard but whatever you want to do , you should do it with the whole of your heart and mind and you will see it easy. I believe they should also be of great attitude so the citizens would love them and also help to make things much more easy.
I feel the same way in all honesty I also understand the concept of bringing love and kindness to the people, but it's not always easy to do so, at many times the established order makes it difficult for the candidate to show their true intentions even if they are good.
I agree with you because as you said the leader must be a sacrificial lamb for the people because if a leader can not be kind, compassionate and peaceful with his people there is no need being the leader and you being elected was just like a wast of time.
I disagree with you if you are a leader you must be able to fulfill the countries need. Let me give you a scenario if politician A has bad wishes and he gets elected he might destroy the country but if he has good wishes he will be able to improve the country.
THANK YOU!
In my own opinion, I say no, because leading a country comes with a lot of sacrifices which is very unfavorable. For example, as a leader, you must sacrifice your own interest and benefits for your citizens to satisfy them. I in particular, I wouldn't be able to sacrifice my interest for others always, so therefore I would not be able to take the responsibility of been a leader.
I agree with you succinct cheetah because as a leader all your dreams will be gone and you will have to sacrifice for a large amount of people but still there will be no peace in the country so there is no point of being a leader. when attacks are going in the county citizens will blame the leader for every thing going on in the country that is the reason why I do not want to be a leader.
I agree because being a leader comes with great responsibility and efforts and not every one has the power to supply countries needs and support a country and as you said you need to make a lot of sacrifices for their interests and benefits I my self won't be able to do it sometimes that is why I say no being a leader comes with great responsibility and efforts and not every one is responsible.
Hey there succinct_cheetah,
You've made a really valid point and I completely agree with you. As said by the famous Spiderman from Marvel Comics'' With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.'' Being the leader of a country comes with a lot of responsibility and also being the leader of a country means you always have to put the needs of your country first in every situation, you will always have to put others interests first above your own interests in order to be a good leader you need to be able to make selfless decisions because every decision you make as a leader could either affect your country positively or negatively.
I disagree with succinct_cheetah because even tho you won't be a leader in future you will have to learn how to sacrifice your time, opportunities and even life for those who need it the the most ,because if you can't sacrifice your things or your life for people then everyone will consider you as a selfish and heartless person.
I agree you succinct cheetah because in my opinion l would not be able to rule and entire country like india even if i would like to rule a country it would be stress. for example i want to become a scientist i would have to abandon my career to rule the role and responsibility of a leader is time consuming and stressful if a country is over populated then i think that another leader should come into power to help with the other responsibilities
Hi!
I chose NO as well. I have never really given a thought to this question, to be honest. However, now that I thought about it, I realise I am not made to be a leader. As you mentioned, you wouldn't always be able to sacrifice your interests, and I agree. I think the responsibility of being a country leader is huge. To be a leader, you must have a lot of qualities like selflessness, optimism etc. Being a leader also comes with large responsibilities as you represent the country. I do not think I am made to handle such responsibilities. Sometimes the pressure may get to you and you might do something bad for the country. I think one should become a leader when they are sure that they would fulfil their role instead of just being a leader for namesake. I think there are so many people out there who would be much better than me at this. So, why waste the resources of the country on those who can be better at something else? Hence, I chose NO.
I agree with you most of our leaders forget about things like their family and their religion. And there mostly only have interest for themselves.
THANK YOU !
I picked no. I don't think I can be a leader because leaders are always and constantly scrutinised whether they are wrong or right. This is something I honestly believe is wrong. Yes I can admit that sometimes the government can be wrong but people keep on accusing them and insulting them People do not even try to put themselves in their shoes. The public are not the only ones that scrutinise, the media and even political opponents who know what it feels like often scrutinise those in power. Every decision you make is analysed, criticised, and debated on whether it is wrong or right. This amount of scrutiny is honestly demoralising and just a burden I don't think I can bear. This is a very wrong habit that has many negative effects on our leader's mental and physical health. I get it is important but the rate at which it is done needs to be reduced.
Though if this level of scrutiny is stopped and people finally start putting themselves in the shoes of those in governance, I might consider being a leader of my country.
I agree with your statement of political leaders always being scrutinize, but leaders are always going to be scrutinize because people always have their own opinions and views. Have you thought if you were a political leader then you would have the power to change people's views on you?
I chose the option no. This is because if I were to become the leader of my country I would attempt to help with the problems in my country, but I wouldn't be able to keep everything together. There is also a high risk of me becoming stressed from the consent demand. Currently, there are many people who are angry at the leader of my country for doing what he believed would help. If I was under that pressure as well, I would continue to make bad decisions in an attempt to keep the citizens happy. While people may bring up checks and balances, the leader of a country is the face of the country. Which puts much more pressure on that person to keep a good image or not be themselves just to please the citizen's thoughts. There have been many incidents where people in power made a risk that citizens did not enjoy, and they suffered the consequences. While I would try my bets to help my country with its problems, I wouldn't be able to think straight with the consent stress and anxiety.
Hi I said yes because I know that my country needs good leaders and we need a change, if I were to lead my country I would do my research looking for the parts of my country that needs improving and I will work on those parts, I can also represent my country and make it a place like no other.
I solidly agree with you charming artist and I also said yes if I am was to be the president of my country, I will make a very big flabbergasting change in my country in the sense that I will sort out and put crisis like gender inequality, food sarsirty and insecurity , corruption etc I promise to put all these things to an end because it has been long when then started practicing all these and am alway ashamed of my country any time it is been mentioned as jne of the most corrupt country in the world. If I my also given the privilege to rule my country, I am also going to develop my country with AI machines so that it can enhance the rate of productivity in the nation. I am also going to ensure that food doesn't go into scarcity in my country and also banned hard drugs, enhancing drugs to be used by any individual in the country. I am also going to empower the youths because there is a spirit of corporation in my country.
Lastly, I am going to ensure tight security and will minimise the way we waste things and manage them properly and also i will ensure our natural resources are been secured. Why I want to do all these is to maintain the name been given to as 'THE GIANT OF AFRICA.'
Thank you very much!!!
Hello guys, I will love to be a leader of my country because, in Nigeria the leaders we have don't do a good job for example now in Nigeria where we have terrorist in the country who kill people for nothing, the government have not done anything to change that if I am in charge of the country I will send well trained securities to stay at those places where we notice all this crime activities happening. secondly right now in Nigeria the rate of which things are raising in price is getting too much I personally will want to own a company when I grow up, and with the way things are going on in Nigeria government should at least help those citizens that cannot afford their needs so they can take care of their families is I was head I will be giving palliatives to those that needs it. So, I advise the Nigerian government to take good care of their citizens because citizens are gradually leaving the country to better counties.
Hi, topical talkers
Actually I pick yes, of if I become a leader I will surely make a positive change in my own country, why because my country today has been downgraded because must of the people chose to leave because of things like:
Lack of economic and financial standard: in this country Nigeria must of our past leaders destroyed our standard when it came down to economic and finance, because while I was in a younger age my did told me that "there was a time when 1 dollar was the same as 1 naira but now the rate which the financial standard is being bought down is actually breathe taking. So I stand on the aim of making a positive change to my country Nigeria.
So in conclusion what I am trying to say is that in my country Nigeria I would like a positive change to her (The country Nigeria) so as to make it peaceful and worth living for so as also to start a new beginning in this my country with the help of the people in the country. Thanks.
I agree because the situation of the country today is nothing to talk about and the only way to change it is to have a good transparent leader but now the rights of citizens are abused and elections are now taken by bribery and corruption and no one is heard again and the minorities are abused and this will affect the country negatively
Honestly I want to be the leader of my country one day. Because, only one leader can make a country better for everyone. I live in Bangladesh. I will not say that my country is developed in all aspects. Currently, poverty is increasing day by day in my country. Currently, the business situation is also very bad. Moreover, I want to improve my country more in the future in terms of education system and economy. According to me all these problems are not possible only for common people. It is possible only through a leader. So if I ever get a chance to be the leader of my country I will definitely take it. It will be a great privilege for me.
Thank you very much for reading my comment.
I said yes because in my country nigeria so many things are moving to the wrong side.
I believe being the president one day would bring a lot of smiles to my people's faces more especially the old and aged people.
Things are hard in nigeria, our economy is getting worst day by day, the poor are crying, they are starving and some of them are also dying because of hunger, it hurts me a lot to know that people are suffering these time in my country nigeria, and I hope to change that with all humanity.
Most children in nigeria are now school dropouts because their parents can not afford their school fees and other requirements, you see people who give in to begging in the streets, many people who has turned into armed robbers and prostitutes because of lack of employment. The economy is getting bad economy is getting bad day by day , because if the kind of leaders we have.
Once I become the president I will first of all make sure nigeria becomes a productive country and not a consuming country. I would also make that we make proper use of our natural and mineral resources to create finished products. I would grant loans for students who do not have money to sponsor themselves. I would make room for everyone to be comfortable. I know doing all these isn't gonna be easy for me as a female, but the woman in me (twim) would help me to do all things with courage and braveness.
I think no because I know that being a leader of a country is really difficult. You have to think about a lot of things, such as: how to satisfy all the citizens' needs, how to help other countries and how to solve problems in the country. I think that as the leader of the country, you would not want to make a mistake as the mistake might mean a lot to the citizens. You will be under pressure after that because you would possibly think that there are going to be a lot of comments against you.
The thing that will need to happen to change my mind is that there will be a person that is brave enough to face the big mistake they made and stand up for themselves against rude comments from people . They will also have to try and satisfy all the citizens' needs so I know it is possible to do all of the things without being kicked out. I know thta it is quite a hard thing to do but I think it is the only way to make me change my mind.
In my opinion I would not like to become the leader of my country. This is because it comes with many difficulties and all of your actions come will the great consequences both good and bad. Almost everything you do will get found out just like the Covid party that Boris Johnston and his members had. This came with consequences such as him having to pay a fine and make a huge apology for breaching his own rules and regulations on what happened during the pandemic. The country is in your hands and many people rely on you to make the correct choices for your country to strive which I feel would be a huge responsibility as the country you are governing over may crumble in your hands which would be your fault.
I will be glad to become the president for one day, I will Like to change what they past president have done in the past and I want to correct it,
Through education: I will provide free education for everyone so that they will have the knowledge of books, like in my country education fees are increasing everyday and some people can not afford the school fees, so I will reduce the school fees to the money that everyone can afford.
Providing jobs for the youths: I will provide jobs for the youth so that they will have money to provide for their needs and his/ her family, to avoid poverty, ignorance and lack of contentment. Today, youth that have graduated and come out with first degree, will not have money to feed and provide for their needs because of lack of employment, this will lead them in stealing and not being contented with what they have, so I will provide jobs for the youth to be able to provide their needs and take care of their families.
Also I will stop gender inequality among the women, I will create awareness for the women for them to speak for their rights and said that our education will not only ends at kitchen, why I said that I will stop gender inequality among the women is because in the past and even now parents will say that the should train they boys in schools and leave the girls because their education will end up at kitchen, for me I will say that parents should train both boys and girls, so that it will create gender equality among the two genders. And another thing I will like to change is corruption like rigging of elections, Drug trafficking in the country and human trafficking especially young girls. I want a better future for the country and let go the past of our former president and move on for the betterment of the country.
Nothing will change my mind on being a leader of a country that's possible. Because if I'm the leader because not first I'm not ready to be a leader and don't meet the requirement and the intellectual requirement so any wrong choose I made everyone would suffer and people might try to take advantage of me because of my age and I'm not as old as them and I'm less experience than them so these are the reason why I said no and nothing will make me change my mind.
I say No because there are too many responsibilities to handle and conquer. I would not know what to do if we are getting attacked I would panic. There's just too much I have to think about all the time. Everyone would know me and try to attack me.
Hi,
I chose NO. A leader's job is risky. You need to think carefully about your next move. There are many problems in a country to solve like: climate change, the economy, relations with other nations and the good for all people. In my country there are a lot of problems like natural disasters, the number of homeless people is increasing and the economy. But there is also a big problem which is the relations with the neighbouring countries like Turkey and Albania. The other reason is that is if I made a mistake accidently then my country could suffer more than it does now. In my opinion, leading a nation is very difficult and risky. But for the people that can handle pressure very easily and always wanted the feeling of a leader, then I would suggest it to them.
I personally would probably be a leader of my country. The reason is because they come with many responsibilities I think I wouldn't want to deal with. If anything is wrongly done it can cause great consequences for me and my country. For example, war can be a leading consequence from wrongdoing. This can cause many death and destruction for the things and people in my country. Also it causes me to have to constantly worry for my life as there are likely people looking to seek harm on me. I personally just want to live a peaceful life with no country-wise responsibilities.
I said no as leading a country comes with great difficulty and immense pressure. Thousands of people would be counting on you to make the right decision in moments of high stakes and under a lot of pressure. If you made a mistake it would be huge as YOU are in charge of the country and the country would suffer any repercussions that came with that mistake.
However a part of me says yes because as a leader you can help to make your Country better. As a leader you could improve the equality in the country that you are leading and help to promote other things like diversity and acceptance of all.
I say yes because in my country people choose leaders that favor them or support tribalism which really affects our country so if I was given the chance to become the leader of my country then I would correct all the mistakes that the past leaders have made I will also try to fulfill all the services all citizens should experience during all elections that happen in my country the elections are rigged so if the candidate of your choice doesn't win then people cause riots and other destructive things if i become the leader of any country i would do it fair and square to encourage other people to stop corruption in politics .
Well, being the leader of your country is a difficult position but at the same time it is a sigh of superiority and prestige. On the one hand, it is a privilege that most people constantly seek to conquer, it shows maturity and supremacy and that you are socially well known and politically trusted. On the other hand, there is too much responsibility, making a mistake is not an individual matter but a collective and it affects everyone living in the country and lastly you are always being shown, causing a lack of privacy.
Yo deduce, in my perspective, I wouldn't like to be the leader of my country. I would rather become someone greater which will offer help to the community, like a doctor which is my dream than do something it will not make me happy for the sake of fame.
Hi amazing folks of Topical Talk!!!
I will obviously want to be a leader for my country one day and there is no thinking twice. I would like, I mean, LOVE to be a future leader because I would like to put things in place because nowadays, my country is suffering financially and behaviourally. The finances are suffering hiccups and the worst part is our debt to IMF(International Monetary Fund). This is one issue I would like to pay attention to when I am a president and no matter how tough it will be, I will persevere and pay all debts so that I can focus on improving the country. Also, the leaders in my country don't lead by example and it ends up affecting our youth because the leaders end up acting in a "corrupt" manner and take the country's money for their private purpose. For example, a leader taking the tax of the citizens for a private purpose like purchasing a new private jet. This action will now lead to the raising of the youth leaders to use public affairs for their private purpose which will he very bad. In this case, I will lead by example and use the country's profit to benefit the country by putting things right and fixing the economy. For example, repairing our roads. Another thing is, I will ensure that the youth will be raised in a manner that they will use creativity skills, thinking skills, problem solving skills, speaking skills to help the economy and for future benefits.
Thank you so much!!!
I would like to be the leader of my country one day as I have many things I would like to improve even further in my country, which I believe would be extremely beneficial.
First, I would like to invest more money into education, but more importantly, the counselling of young people through the school system. I believe that in order to achieve your full potential in education, you need a clear and fresh mind. If students are constantly worrying about something, their mind isn’t focusing fully, leading to struggles academically, which may not have existed for someone before. In the UK, 37.3% of people suffering with mental health seek support. That leaves 63.7% of people suffering with mental health issues not seeking support. 63.7%. The majority of these people suffering with mental health issues are children. Therefore, I believe that these issues should be dealt with in a way which helps the patient become mentally healthier and achieve better results academically.
Next, I would also attempt to defeat homelessness as it is an ongoing issue in the UK and more worryingly, globally. I believe that if more funds go into homeless shelters and services to help those left without work to find jobs, we can decrease the amount of homelessness significantly. Yes, it isn’t likely that we can conquer all homelessness as the government don’t have the funds to only spend money on that, however, if we don’t try harder we will never find out.
I want to be a leader in my country to make it a better and more independent country. According to the current situations that my country is facing, here are some things I will do to make Nigeria a better country
1) I will fix the bad road that the other leaders did not fix: Nigeria has a lot of bad roads and that is some of the things that are making road accidents very common in Nigeria and a lot of Nigerians are complaining about this, so it needs to stop.
2) I will make a rule and that will be that ethnicity and religion should not be things that determine the job or occupation that you will have.
3) I will stop the common Buku Haram from turning my country into a crisis zone.
These are a few of the things that I will do to make Nigeria a better country for Nigerians to live happily in without ant complaints of a sort.
I will be the leader of my country, I say this because I feel I have the necessary requirements to be a leader and not a ruler because I aspire to bring my country into a new age of peace and prosperity, unlike the leaders of the past I would also like to tackle the problems of our economy largely basing on the economies of other countries and I’m going to change that.
I think I would love to be the leader of my country one day because, I think that if I become a leader I could make positive impact in my country and the world at large. I could reduce the rate of corruption and build up my country in a positive way. In my opinion, when good leaders are elected,they make a country great.
Why i said no is because i think a leader is saddled with a lot of responsibilities so much that if he/she is not courageous or bold, there is every possibility that he/she might run away when the going gets tough due to pressure.
I would love to be a leader because...nowadays people think being a leader is a "big deal" even good people. As a leader i should posses these qualities which are: Bravery, Integrity, Rational, Patriotic, Good listener, Inclusivity, etc.
Which without them is like a sinking ship without a captain.
I said yes to be a leader, and what I would change in a country is to make the basic human needs available which are food, shelter, good roads and clothing in the country. In my country there is scarcity of food. Lately, farmers are afraid to go to their farms because of banditry. As a leader I would get a diplomat to find a way to get to know why they are harassing the farmers, and find a way to strike a balance depending on what is causing the unrest between the farmers and the bandits.
Hi everyone!
If you ask me, I would like the be the leader of my country some day because I want to do great things for my people for example, change wrong rules, favor everyone, no bias, and and achieve justice in the nation. Also I can become a role model for people who want to become leaders if I do the right thing. Even if becoming a leader can have a lot of duties and responsibilities, I would like to make a great change that will be remembered for by other.
I voted NO because i think a leader have so many responsibilities and it is too much work. They do not rest or spend good time with their families and loved ones. Some of them even receive threats from people or even get killed because other people do not like them.
I want to be able to spend time with my family and live happily with everyone.
THANK YOU.
Hi, topical talkers
I choose Yes, I say this because I
Am the first born of my parent, ,growing up in two other siblings, I always practised being a leader with them like they say leaders lead by example. I must say in this past few years of practicing leadership with my siblings I realized that leadership comes with a lot of hard work.
I can lead a country by being hard working, not being selfish and being greedy.
I also that feel at the government level, I will have a lot to contribute in term policies that are eco friendly, favourable immigration policies etc having been exposed topics in Topical Talk Festival.
I feel capable of leadership in the future because TTF in a way is preparing me with all the exposure I am getting.
Thank you!
Hello everyone,i choose yes because
i want to be a leader so that i can make changes like making Job available for young adults, building for homeless people and education orphans or give scholarships because most of these things are challenges in my country. There are lots of youth without job and it is not good.
There are lots of people who do not have means or money to go to school like I do. So it will be very nice and good to see that these things are put in place for my people when I become a leader.
I would love to be the leader of my country because everyone in my country will be able to vote and they would not have to work out of their house and vote they use an app to vote and no one would not be comfortable if they are not comfortable they would not want to vote again.
Good day fellow topical talkers,
I did say yes because in my country there is a lot of corruption which needs to be dealt with and it’s people like me that are bound to make the change in the country, no matter the methods we use, like the social media platforms and all other rules we make to govern the nation, rebuilding and renovating national facilities for the betterment of the country or the nation!
Infact if I should become the president of my nation for one day my nation who is it become a better place to live!
Hi everyone
I said yes, because my country is underdeveloped there is scarcity of food and these has caused so many insecurities for food and there is also hunt for money in the Nigerian societies.
When I become the president of my able country Nigeria , I would make sure all individuals who are willing to work has their own work relating to their field of study or specialization . Everyone would also be treated equally, there would be nothing like the minority, every religion would be accepted hence that's were your faith lies.
As the president I would build a home for the disables in each state so that other people would be classified in their various units for instance; from 0-17 are of the dependent age, from 18-60 are the working class age, from 60- above are also classified as the dependent age. I would make sure there is proper enlightenment on the effects of bush burning to the land, I would make sure that I emphasize on planting in an erosion free space or land. I would develop a sector were everyone is tested to know the capability of what he or she can do to facilitate and enhance productivity. I would encourage musicians to bring more fame to our country through their concert tours. I would sometimes share palliatives to individuals in order to encourage them and I would also plead for the wealthy people like the musicians, the actors and actresses the business cartels to also help the challenged im terms of financial assistance.
With all these my empire would be runned 100mwters with no much problems.
THANKS.
It wasn't that hard to decide because my vote was no because I am not ready to handle or represent up to 2million people because some might not appreciate my way of leadership or might protest against me and my followers so I am really not ready to have or handle my country.
Hello educated_fox
I agree with you because like you said i am not yet ready to be a leader . So incase the something goes wrong during my leadership, i will not be held responsible. It will be so scary to think that the faith of over 200 million people lies in my hand and if i make a wrong move they will start protesting that i am a bad leader.
Thank you.
I said yes because I would like to solve those problems that the past leaders were not able to solve during their regime one of the problems I would solve is gender inequality. Gender inequality is being practiced all over the world which brings about low self esteem, everyone has the right to become what they would want to be. And presently some of the leaders has not put much attention and effort on that aspect in our parent country and how I would solve it is by creating awareness becabuse of the rural areas, and also making policies against gender inequality, free education for all on gender inequality I would make sure everyone walks together In oder to fight against gender inequality in Nigeria.
Yes, I wish to be the leader of my country one day, although, handling any country is not easy as a pie. Tackling a large population is a very great responsibility. My country has been growing and developing, it is the largest democracy, and has lots of achievements, so for anyone to keep it up and transform the nation to a well developed country, meet the demands and desires of its people is not effortless.
Even though, I wish to be the leader of my nation because, I think there are still some issues which are required to be thrown out or solutions for the same are needed. Most importantly, I want to build a positive effect on my country and want to show that India may not be considered the best, but it has many advantages due its location. I want citizens to know that a large population is not required to be seen as a burden, it can become our power.
Therefore, I would like to become the leader of my country.
I would say yes because l want to change
somethings which is to punish anyone who makes a less than 16 years child work, to look diligently at people who will work in the government (can be the police or a judge for example) and finally change my country educationally because it needs to improve and it doesn't focus on skills of the child like the international schools.
About leading a country I know it's a great responsibility in which you lead a major country, you adjust to the country's future. You might have asked what risks would you pass your passage or career, so I will say. You can face calamities or disasters in it that you think you cannot quell and they can be
1:Stock market falling
2: Financial situations
3: Organisations moreover people and conflicts with the government about a problematic issue
4: saying that you are not useful
All of this would make you feel
anxious because you made your maximum effort but all was in vain.
Yes , the first thing I will improve the economy. I won't print alot of money so that the value of the Egyptian pound won't go down ,and give other countries some money so that if we in egypt had a problem in money we will ask these countries to give us our money back and solve the problem.
Then I will build more hospitals ,so that people can stay alive for a long time , and so he will work more , and help the community.
Then I will build alot of schools and universities , and make courses for teachers so that they can be better , and I will add more information to the books .
What information would you add to books, willing_impression?
Tell more about grammar in Arabic ,and improve science books like for example what we take in year6 take it in year5.
Some information that you could add to the books are how to improve the economy around you, do the best that you could do, or have a book on the topic of helping a person be prepared with many responsibilities.
For me it's a no cause leading a country or a state is very difficult because there will be a lot of tension on you and the amount of people who rely on you and are depending on you also much take you disappoint that will be a major downfall for for your reputation. leadership is a very hard tag so you have to make a decision if you are ready to take over country or not so you have to be decisive and be careful which position you take or lead.
I responded yes and I would like to make changes to education, work, and the government. I have observed the difficulties students like me face while completing homework. I would fund programs to provide resources and tutoring to students. Additionally, I want to increase mentorship programs to remove the youth from crime and violence. I would like the workforce to allow their employees to work less and have more done. Although I live in a very advanced and privileged society, there is a lot of demand and work someone has to do in certain jobs. This has made teachers, doctors, nurses, and other workers feel very stressed and might cause them to quit. The shortage of teachers might be from the stress, disrespect, and work they have to do. I would like the government to be more neutral and efficient. I would advocate for independence and the friendly interactions between parties. I would assign officials who do not clearly emphasize their party.
I said no, because of how many decisions the leader of the country has to make. They also have to go to numerous places and likely do not have any downtime. This could cause a lot of stress and I personally am not good at any of these things. Therefore this job would not be a very good fit for me.
Welcome! Leadership is the ability to bring a vision to life.
I have always wanted to be a leader. As I grew up, I learned about the politics and I am still learning about it. But when we talk about it, it's always about corruption.
As a leader, I want to change this perception. I want to lead the country towards a better future. When people hear the name of my country, I want them to take it with pride and as a model. I want to create an ideal nation that is still prosperous. I want to add more quality to the quality of life. I want to reduce poverty. I want to increase education and health coverage.
Particularly, the two pillars of HEALTH and EDUCATION can propel a nation's prosperity.
I would not want to lead my country for many reasons, some personal and some general. As long as I can remember, different leaders have promised a bright future for our country till date, We see people on the road sleeping, and there are days when houses don't get water and electricity. Electricity bills are half what workers pay. In addition, to begin with, engaging in corrupt practices provides a means for individuals, who may not be deserving in terms of their skills or experiences, to attain leadership positions, whether in the political or professional sphere. This is evident because corruption typically involves some form of abuse of power, and this may include the manipulation of a supposed'meritocratic' selection process to unfairly provide an advantage to an individual who engages in such practices, or to facilitate the promotion of a particular candidate by impeding the progress of others. And indeed, a study by Koduah, Amoako, and Osei-Akoto, published in the Journal of Third World Studies in 2013, showed that some 80 percent of the 'political elite' in Ghana had amassed 'ill-gotten wealth' via corrupt activities at some point. However, it should be noted that corruption, of course, does not operate in a vacuum; the extent and nature of corruption in the executive and in other areas of leadership can be influenced by a diverse range of factors. For example, historians such as T. P. Ofosu, the author of The Institutionalization of Political Corruption in my country, have argued that the advent of 'winner-takes-all' electoral politics in the mid-20th century not only encouraged corruption in the formal political sphere by promoting a 'by any means necessary' approach, but also gradually became a part of the 'inherited political culture' of my country over the subsequent decades. I'm willing only to lead my country once it becomes selfless and others needs are placed before the leaders'. Thank you
Hey everyone
I wholeheartedly agree with most of you and I'm gonna go with no cause leading a country would somehow be the biggest mistake I make cause a slight mistake could make many people against you, everyone is gonna rely and depend on you if you slightly threat some people unfairly you'll just be receiving reports and seriously it's a thumb up to our president,governors and senators there really trying by ruling people and trying to be fair
Wow! I see many people with good points! So thumbs up dedicated strategy! Well for me i choose NO even though deep in my heart I wanna be a leader of my country but in the outside I don't, cuz I know all the consequences that might occur e.g when I become one, most people wouldn’t like me because of one thing or the other cuz maybe l catapulted someone’s house because i wanna build a road, the person from his/her perspective and his friends will probably think bad of me, but from the positive side i know i did the right thing and the only thing that remains for me to do will be giving the person money to build another house. Therefore that would make the person happy I guess! But I still don’t want to be a leader cuz in my country most of the leaders say they will do this and that for the country, but once they become leaders they never do what they say maybe because of the money they get, so I used to wonder that maybe if I become one I would behave like them.
Hi attentive meteor your absolutely correct do you mind me telling you something we'll if you don't let me tell you the first reason I don't wanna be a leader
*responsibility and pressure
* criticism
* decision making
* time commitment
*lack of interest
* not wanting to manage others
* fear of responsibilities
And actually because I'm not a fan of deciding what is good and wrong for people.
This goes for all topical talkers!
Deciding what is good and wrong for people might not be your thing but imagine you where the leader and you do everything the right way wouldn't People love you and select you next time?
And again it's no use having the fear of responsibilities cuz if you know you're doing the right thing there's no point bothering, I thought of the same thing the other time but then it came to me that what if I'm doing the right thing I don't really need to bother.
And for the other half of me the reason why it wants to be a leader is because:
*Leading people better
*Making Nigeria among the best countries
*And inspire them to depend on their country for everything not others.
*And last but not the least, to improve our technology!
And if all of you guys are with me, let's do better in our education!
Cuz it's the KEY
Hey!
I would be honoured to be the leader of my country one day. I am a firm believer of the fact that if you want something changed in the world, do it yourself. We cannot wait for others to realise the vitality of our ambitions and commence working on it for our sake. No one is that selfless.
It's a common knowledge that power corrupts the mind... If I want something transmogrified in my nation, I would try to avoid dependence on everyone. On everyone I fear will lose sight of the ultimate goal - welfare of humanity. We can never be of a mindset akin a 100%. There will always be differences... Hence, I would rather be in power myself, so that my difference of opinion can be heard.
I think another reason I would like to be the leader of my nation would be because I am confident enough in my love for my nation to know that I would always work in it's best intentions, and I am confident in my own alibies to bear the responsibility of the growth and development of 1.4 Billion people.
If I got a chance to be the leader of my country even for one day, then I will choose the judiciary and the police department to make it corruption free and also choose to make my ministers and other members of my team to make them corruption free. If I can build a parliament with only honest and patriotism people, then half of the problem of my country will come to an end. Those honest leaders and ministers will work to solve the problem in their respective areas which will result to help the citizen of my country to live a good life. Nothing is more important to me than the good life of my citizen and people. The ministers will work to solve the issues and work for the development of their respective area along with the whole country. I along with my teammate will work for the betterment and advancement of the country. Then I will ensure that the police and judiciary department are free from corruption. So that when any people will come to the police, they can get justice. Also, the police will not take benefits of the condition of the citizen rather they will work for the justice and betterment of the people. I will establish a law that if any police officer did any crime, he will get 3 times more punishment than the normal people, which will ensure the honesty and also will prevent my police officers in doing any crime. When the ministers and the police department will be free from corruption, then they will work together for the betterment of the country as well as its people. I will personally monitor everything and will ensure that every people get justice and are able to meet their own needs. I think that if I can make this two-area corruption free then ultimately all areas will be free from corruption in no time. Then my country will be able to progress and will be able to advance keeping pace with the world.
YES, I always wanted to be the leader of my country, I have a great passion for politics and issues and general and always want a solution to solve them! You have an enormous number of responsibilities, but every day is different and every day there is a chance for change, I would reverse so many new laws in my country recently like the XL bully ban, the Uk sending refugees to Rwanda and many good significant changes like promoting and making change to reverse the severe case of climate change and global warming. Making Free school lunches in the entire Uk for children ages 4-11, many children go hungry because a household of income can't afford school lunches and food in general, for the lower class providing more essentials in Food banks. Banning vapes entirely and making it illegal for people under the age of 18 to purchase or use one, I see many young people from the ages 11-16 vaping more than I do smokers in general, vapes are not tested yet and are an entirely new invention and people do not know what the side effects are and what will happen to vapers in 20-30 years.
I know that being in charge of a country is hard but choosing the right person for that role is the most important thing you could ever do. A good leader means good country and citizens and culture. If I ever do go into politics, please vote for me :)
If I were the leader of the country I would be totally fascinated.
First of all I would change all the factories into eco factories using eco friendly products to reduce any pollution and damage to the environment..I would spend some money for a better protection system for my country using AI technology in order to predict earthquakes and extreme weather conditions.
I would definitely invest a lot of money on education, trying to implement into the curriculum innovative methods such as learning about green skills
I said yes, and it is not precisly because of mi self confidence as a ruler, is bacause its difficult be wose that who is all ready. Just so you understad in the national the Left won. And in less than a month in the autonomous comunities almost all sapain changed minds.
But as thats not the question the main changes will be:
Ban PERMANENTLY amnistia, reduce helps for non employed people (the ones ho don't work because they don't want and just live with helps), eliminate the free 500 euros of becoming 18 years old, modernise the industry, improve the control over Catalonia, punish iligal imigration, pay our enormous dedth, mothernise the pension system, improve our relationship with our allais and improve the public health and the public education.
As you can see those are to many things that not only there are a lot and need a lot of improvement's also the actual president isen even talking about it.
I choose yes, if by chance I was given the privilege of being tasked with leading Nigeria, my primary aim would be establishing and enforcing policies that increase economic development, reduce corruption, and enhance healthcare and education sectors. To be specific, I would focus on investing in infrastructure like refineries to increase productivity and produce opportunities for employment, simultaneously enforcing strict rules and regulations to fight against corruptive practices, which deteriorates progress. Also, I would gather resources to enhance access to quality healthcare and education, for better development. For instance, Nigeria experiences crucial struggles in healthcare, with only 4.7% of GDP spent on healthcare in 2021, according to World Bank data. Similarly, Nigeria's education system faces difficulties like low literacy rates, with only 61.3% literacy rate among adults aged 15 and above in 2021. So, spending on education to better literacy rates and improve the quality of education would be also important.
I say "no" to being a leader. I have different reasons. I think they can help without being the leader. I might work on projects or help l say "no" because they like their privacy. Leaders are famous, and everyone knows what they do. Some people don't like that and want to have a quiet life insteasay "no" because they don't think they're good enough to be a leader. Being a leader is tough, and you need to know a lot of things. Some people think they're better at other things and want to do those instead.
In the end, it's okay to say "yes" or "no" to being a leader. Everyone can help in their own way, whether they're in charge or not. It's important to do what feels right for you.
Correct.
Declining a leadership role is a choice I make for various reasons. I believe I can contribute effectively without assuming a leadership position, possibly by working on projects or offering assistance. Some individuals opt out of leadership roles due to a preference for privacy, as leaders often attract public attention and scrutiny. Others decline leadership responsibilities because they doubt their capabilities or feel more suited to other pursuits. Ultimately, it is acceptable to accept or decline leadership roles based on personal preferences. Every individual can contribute meaningfully, whether as a leader or in a supportive capacity. It is essential to prioritize personal well-being and alignment with individual strengths when making such decisions.
Hello topical talkers,
I would not want to lead my country someday. I say this because if people are still looking for the candidate they would want to vote for, I may promise them some goods or some free resources so that they can vote for me. And if they vote for me and I am not able to provide what I have promised, they may feel angry because they would feel like I just deceived them that I would give them goods and resources just to vote for me. And they may also cause things like riots or even protests just to bring me down. And another reason I say this is because, as a leader, people would always look up to you to provide what they need that would help them in the country. So if I make a mistake, it can really effect my country, and then people would want to bring me down and bring a new leader. And I am also scared because, some other political candidates may even threaten your country just to bring me down. In fact, there was a day when we were having a class on our H.C.A ( History and Current Affairs), then the H.C.A teacher said that ''When the people age able for voting went and voted for a president in Nigeria, one of the candidates that did not win in the election felt cheated because he taught that I.N.E.C ( Independent National Electoral Commission ) did not do a honest poll count or they were bribed just to miscount the votes. So after some weeks after the election, he threatened the elected president that he would kill millions of Nigerians if he does not give the presidential position over to him''. So I would not like one of the candidate that didn't get voted for to threaten me, innocent people and the country just to get into that position. So in conclusion those are all the reasons I would not like to rule in my country.
THANK YOU.
I agree with you, trusting_interaction. I feel like I would not be able to cope with the decisions I would have to make and the problems that follow them. I also don't want to get involved with various conflicts that could disturb the safety of my citizens.
Hello topical talkers,
It was quite a complicated decision but I actually pressed yes. Leading a country comes with a great responsibility. I believe that I have the capabilities to lead country. I would like a lot to help my coyntry, Greece overcome its problems easily. I would not like to be negative and I would be determined to complete my mission. Of course in some way I could a lot of difficulties but I dont think I would give up. I would help my country in political and financial sector. Finally, I would try to bring a total equality to my country and do all these things immediately.
I think that being a ruler for one day can help the people of that particular area. Being a ruler means that you consider the citizens of that society.
Even if they are only a ruler for one day, they can still create a lot of change. In some countries the president could help by making a rule that more places are conserved and no one can kill animals or cut down trees.
THANK YOU.
As for me if I were asked to be the president of my country I would not be because this country that I leave in is not meant for anyone who wants to be the president. The person that we need as a president in Nigeria is problem solving, open to other people and is not someone that doesn't have nepotism or is not have tribalism.
I say no ,somethings that might change my mind about the job are things like, if someone showed me if the job might be interesting or challenging because i like challenging situations. I feel like i wouldn't enjoy such a position of power I prefer any other job like in the education system or a civil servant not in such a powerful position. Maybe if someone inspired me to get the position I might be interested. It may be also difficult to rule an entire nation. And have some pressings decisions to make for the country ,and then if I make the wrong decision it might affect the countries reputation.
I really don't want to be the leader of my country because I am not ready to make decisions that wouldn't only affect me but the whole country and with the state in which my country is right now I think they need serious help to fix the country and find a leader which is loyal for it. There is certainly no situation when I would change my mind and even if they said they would pay me a million dollars, I would still not change my decision but I think this might change the perspective of other people who want only the money. I expect that other people have their different reasons.
I agree because being a leader is not just about having the name, it also comes with great responsibility and tasks that I feel I cannot handle. I also agree with you because of this your point you have stated about making decisions, this is an aspect of being a leader that many people cannot seem to understand, as a leader, you are a representative of your subjects which means your decisions are made on behalf of your subjects. So one responsibility of a leader is making decisions for the people, so as a leader, before you take a decision, always know that someone is affected. This to me is what make it hard for someone to be a leader.
THANK YOU.
Hello, there.
Yes, I definitely want to be the leader of my country for one day because I want to present my country to the world as a developed and glorious country . I think, leadership is a national and political responsibility. As a leader, I will work for overall development of my country. First of all I will try to eradicate poverty in the country. I will take various programs to eradicate poverty. I will distribute free food and other opportunities among poor people. Also provide them education and treatment and create adequate employment. Secondly, I will provide education to all the children of my country. I will provide free education to those who cannot get education for money. Also I will take various programs to stop child labour. In this way we will create an educated and developed nation. Thirdly, as a leader, I will eliminate social problems like gender discrimination, violence against women, juvenile delinquency, superstition etc. I will create awareness among the people to solve these problems. Also I will encourage the people to fight against climate change. Above all, I will try my best to fulfill a national responsibility like being a leader. I will transform my country from developing to developed country by eliminating all social problems of the country and by social and economic development.
Okay, I say yes because I know that when I become the leader of my country Nigeria, I would change so many things and make life easy for each and every one of the citizens in my country.
I would first of all call on enlightenment about things that causes scarcity like irrigation, bush burning, planting on erosion grounds and the rest. I would also call on enlightenment for rape, human trafficking, drug trafficking and the rest of them to be stopped because these are what gives bad name to a country.
I would help the less privileged financially, I would avoid the term minority and majority groups, everyone must be treated equally with fair play and transparency.
My country Nigeria would be a hot cake because I would make sure all our mineral and natural resources are properly made use of. I would build refineries in order to make sure non of our natural are transported to another country for refining.
Thanks
It sounds like you're making connections between lots of the different Topical Talk lessons - well done!
Hi,
I would love
