family benefits from mostly in this often times they fall victims of unaccountability and
case may include: Employment,
Empowerment , Scholarship,
Palliatives, Infrastructure etc.
The care for one's immediate family
as a leader is not the point of
contention here nor paying
attention and attending to the
needs of one's community, but
more of one's concerns should not
be one's blood relation. The ache in
this is when those who become
beneficiaries do not meet up with
the requirements that guarantee
them such opportunities, yet they
are offered, limiting public or
common wealth to a family right,
hence, palliating the livelihood of
many.
"It is known that one of the issues of
our country, which is rising to the
l e ve l o f s t a te p o l i c y,
development of patriotic spirit in
young people" (Rasulan 311).
Without doubt, one of the main
factors in the development of
patriotic spirit in youth is the unique
role and influence of the family
because the purest feelings of a
person, the first life concepts and
imaginations are formed first of all in
the heart of the family (312). Our
families today instead, inculcate the
idea of putting always our homes
first at the detriment of the human
family which is wider than the
immediate family. Our leaders are
not always self-centred per se, but
non-transparent administration because family
pressure hauls many of them that lane, thus making
them unpatriotic citizens and leaders. Their family
members should not in the meantime be bent on
making life out of their relation's positions that should
be of public service and good. On the other hand our
leaders are not so cowardice that they cannot convey a
simple awareness to their families, that it is expedient
that a leader has the masses at heart not the
immediate family exclusively. They however put the
mentality of family first at heart and give it attention
because there lies their priority too.
CONCLUSION
As a leader, your first family should be those under your
governance; they are to be seen as your first family to
avoid creating the tendency of giving sole attention to
the immediate family when the pressure comes. You
do not have to supply palliatives to a community
simply because you are from there; give scholarships to
only those related to you by blood; employ those from
you ethnicity, clan and even family because of who
i s t h e they are to you, but that they deserve and merit them.
With these, patriotism can thrive to its crest.
