Covid19 has shown that there is a pressing need for brilliant solid LGA chairpersons.
People who understand that their LGA is the population of some countries in the United Nations and act accordingly to make it as productive as possible.
We cant keep leaving it to riffraff.

Oshodi is probably as populated as Jamaica.
Onitsha is probably half the population of Uruguay.
We really need to start taking the constituent cells of this Nigeria seriously.
Federal Govt is important but atrocious failure at LGA level is even more harmful.

If we'd had brilliant people at LGA level handling healthcare, market structure, etc, Covid19 would have been easier to handle.
Sound young people in political parties should be pushed to get executive LGA posts to show their capacity instead of just being online mouthpieces.

Some LGAs in this country have ridiculous potential. Badagry? Damn.
We say the FG is far but the State Govts are also largely distant.
Your weakest link determines your average Level.
If we improve the quality of Nigeria's lowest tier, everything else will automatically rise.

Pick any LGA in Nigeria and I'll show you a country with similar population and resource that is independent and functional with United Nations membership.
Iceland has 300,000 people.
If the Sunday Service crowd in Winners Otta run into Iceland, they'll outnumber the citizens.

But this problem largely comes from our culture that says that the "Big Man" shouldn't bother with "small things".
See, our progress will come from brilliant people in groups working on small details.
How many of us are actually working on ways to improve our foodstuff markets?

We struggle with detail partly because of our tendency to create gods to solve our problems.
We either imagine a god into existence so we can dump on It.
Or we give abnormal wealth and status to a "Big Man" to make him powerful enough to solve our problems.
It has never worked

We create a Messiah and a scapegoat and then sit and wait.
Other societies sit down and think.
And when some of their people show they have worked out solutions, they elevate those people and build systems to solve their problems.
We are still creating gods out of Men in 2020
