Abstract

This paper examines the use and abuse of the twin concepts of �democracy� and �leadership� by Nigerians and the attendant implications. It argues that the deliberate abuse of these concepts has in turn resulted in the abuse of their underlying principles and values. Consequently, political apathy, violent crimes, industrial actions and civil disobedience are on the increase. These developments no doubt pose a serious threat to industrial harmony as well as the national security. The paper recommends massive conscientization and re-orientation of the citizenry, particularly the present and future leaders, on the need to imbibe genuine democratic and leadership values; the urgent need to overhaul the existing laws guiding the activities of public officeholders; and the imperatives of strengthening the various anti-graft and financial crimes agencies in the country as panacea to these self-induced problems
