Abstract
This research examined the problem of leadership in Nigeria. It assessed how this problem has continued to make it difficult to achieve the dividends of democratic governance in the country. In attaining the above stated objectives, the Researcher adopted the descriptive method of analysis in conducting the research. Qualitative research methodology was used in this research. Secondary data sourced from journal articles, newspapers, magazines, bulletins, internet based information and library based documentation analysis like textbooks, lecture notes and relevant unpublished research thesis and dissertations were utilized in this research. Poor governance as the research discovered is part of the leadership problem Nigeria as a nation is suffering from. This shortcoming as the research also observed is translating in state failure in the area of improving the living conditions of the Nigerian people through the provision of democratic dividends like effective power supply, quality and standard education for the majority, medical and health care service delivery, pipe bone water supply, roads, housing and other infrastructural development as well poverty reduction and job creation. Non-corruptible political elites with public rather than individual centered ideology as the research recommended is urgently needed to free Nigeria from leadership problem and result in the achievement of democratic dividends in the country. Keywords: Democratic, Dividends, Impediment, Leadership, Problem.
