L-R: Dr Michael Omeari and Honourable Akinkunmi Fakeye, at the NTA studio, fielding questions from the anchors of Weekend Deal
Leaders in all strata of the nation’s social, economic, political, religious, traditional and cultural spheres of society have been urged to make all necessary sacrifices that will enable them to lead through excellent and exemplary conduct, which will provide the youths with wholesome object lessons to imitate as they will be informally groomed for responsibilities and selfless service to humanity in the immediate future
This sterling appeal to every Nigerian in their spheres of leadership and influence has assured that it will inspire greater encouragement to the younger folks who more often find it easier to emulate the virtues exhibited by superiors, which will, in turn, become the norm in an orderly society.
The reenacted advocacy of not only “doing the right thing but doing what is right” by the entire citizenry was jointly ventilated upon by Honourable Akinkunmi Fakeye and Dr Michael Omeari, on a national television, NTA, talk show named “Weekend Deal”.

Hon Fakeye noted that too often people flouted simple traffic regulations, and on most occasions without consequences from the law enforcement agents. Either through bigmanism and ending the matter through telephone call when apprehended, or due to inefficient enforcement.
Fakeye, a Public Relations guru, tour operator, travel and tourism consultant, recommended that the system should be developed in a way that everyone, irrespective of the culprit’s standing in the society, should be brought to book for any infraction against public order, and other subsets of society norms.
Hon Fakeye, a former Special Adviser to late Governor Isiaka Ajimobi of Oyo State, urged parents to create quality time in training their children and the parents should also conduct themselves honourably in all things to help their children observe and learn virtues a role model should exhibit, beyond boasting of 10 million followers or millon dollars in bank account before earning the sobriquet of “a good roll model”.

Dr Omeari, a former Director General of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, urged top government officials to make it a point of duty themselves at all times in a way that does not assault respected society norms and culture.

Omeari, a two-time commissioner for information in Plateau State, said often public conduct of top government officials was at variance with our culture of modesty in all things and of virtues to equity, fairness, and meritocracy.
He, however, enjoined everyone with a measure of authority in his or her own space to discharge their tasks in a way compatible with fairness and good conscience it is them the younger ones will be unfated with object lessons to take cue from in their adult life.
