A Wise Leader Should Avoid Sexual Immorality by Ofor-Ofor

-

Leaders are the most powerful beings on earth. In other words, all “the powerfuls” are leaders either in the political or business world.  And the most beautiful ladies are after powerful men. Women love power so much that they cannot afford to lose any man that is in power.

Men only exercise power, but women enjoy it. One may ask, since women are the source of happiness to many men, how can leaders observe this law? It should be noted that leaders are among the unhappiest beings on earth insofar as they are committed in their duties.

True leadership calls for self-denial. That is why we say “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” He who has decided to serve others has temporarily sold his happiness to them. Even from their physical appearance one can attest to that if you know committed leaders before they took the task of leadership. An African adage says “the monkey sweats but it is only the hair on its body that deceives the world”.

Hence, as a matter of necessity, a leader who wants to maintain his hard earned reputation should avoid sexual immorality. He should be faithful only to his chosen wife (or wives). Sexual immorality is the only single act that is capable of destroying the life of a leader in an hour. It has negative stimulant power to devour any leader. It has ruined many would-have-been great leaders and men. He who wants to be successful should obey this rule.

CONCEPT OF COMMODIFICATION OF LABOUR

-
COMMODIFICATION OF LABOUR      Commodification of labour is the transformation of human labour or power into commodity which can be sold and bought. It is one of the characteristics of capitalism.  In a capitalist society, there are two broad classes: class who owns the means of production (bourgeoisie or the haves) and class who does not own the means of production (proletariat or the have-nots).      Hence, for those who do not own the means of production to survive they have to sell their labour power to those who have the means of production. In other words, they have to be employed and work for those who own the means of production as workers so that the owner of industry can exploit their labour power and pay them salaries or wages for their services depending on the monetary value of their labour. Therefore, they have sold or commodified their labour power in exchange for salaries or wages.      As Claude Ake (1981), rightly observes that the exchange between the buyers (em

CENTRE-PERIPHERY / DEPENDENCY THEORY

-
CENTRE-PERIPHERY / DEPENDENCY THEORY     This is a theory that explains the structural inequalities between western or developed countries like the United States, Germany, China, France, Canada etc., and the underdeveloped or poor countries like Nigeria, Sudan, Niger, Iraq, Haiti, Kenya, Somalia, Mali, Central Africa Republic, etc.      This theory or model divides the world into two unequal poles namely: the centre nations and the periphery nations. The centre nations are the advanced or developed countries while the periphery nations are the under developed or poor countries. Hence, the theory explains that the centre nations, through imperialism and colonialism lured the periphery nations into the capitalist world (mode of production) which they (peripheries) do not know how to operate or to capitalize effectively and rationally. Due to the ignorance of periphery nations on how to run or manage capitalist economy, they wholeheartedly depend on the imperialist nations who use the
