10 year goal plan

By Emeka Anaeto, Peter Egwuatu & Yinka Kolawole PERHAPS to understand the irony and tragedy of the political economy called Nigeria over the past six decades one needs to use the perspectives of Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan in the globally acclaimed 21st-century classic titled: ‘EXECUTION – The Discipline of Getting Things Done’. The cerebral corporate giants, in the book, stated that though every truly great leader may have an instinct for execution, for many of them that instinct is not typically cultivated in the selection, training and development of leaders. They also say that “a high proportion of those who actually rise to the top make their mark as high-level thinkers, uninterested and (as a result) uninvolved in the ‘how’ of getting things done. Many do not realise what needs to be done to convert a vision into specific tasks”. They added: “The crucial component of engagement between leaders and those subordinates who … [Read more...] about Execution as failure vector: The 6-Decade Indiscipline in national development plans (1)

Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Todd Gurley flattened Tre Flowers with a brutal stiff arm on his path to Los Angeles' final touchdown, the Rams delivered a clear message right to the face of the Seahawks and the NFL. Although it's too soon to say whether the Rams solved their offensive problems in time to make the playoffs, the team that dazzled the league in the past two seasons will be dangerous down the stretch. “We're finally playing the way we should have been playing,” Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald said.

On clear days, Kevin Steele would peek through the cracked window of his six-by-eight foot solitary confinement cell on Rikers Island to get a glimpse of his Bronx neighbourhood and mentally escape. Steele was just 17 years old in June 2010 when he was brought to Rikers Island, arguably America’s most notorious prison and the nation’s largest penal colony. He had been arrested for his involvement in a fight and had no means to pay an assigned $85,000 bail. He spent three years at Rikers awaiting trial, 13 months of that in solitary confinement. “The conditions I faced on Rikers were really horrendous,” says Steele. “Looking out of that window was my way to survive.” Steele is today an activist with No New Jails NYC, a grassroots prison abolitionist group formed last year that has become a major player in the campaign to close Rikers. The group has mobilised New Yorkers – including influential Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez … [Read more...] about Rikers 2.0: inside the battle to build four new prisons in New York City

For starters, he said, the European model of integration … [Read more...] about Opinion:Theresa May’s Triple Bet
