Abstract
The leadership question in Africa has, for a long time, been on the front burner. Many problems plaguing African societies have been hung on the neck of poor leadership. Excellent leadership seems to be a rarity in Africa. This perhaps explains why certain awards have been instituted to reward outstanding leadership in Africa. At times, some of these awards could not be made simply because there was no worthy candidate to be so honoured. The paper considers the leadership question in Africa and a possible panacea for it within the framework of the Paradigm of Ethical Development (Salawu, 2004; 2006b). This paradigm promotes an advanced and organized state of human social development brought about by the cultivation of mind for the higher ideals of the society. The contention of this paper is that African oral ethics is indispensable for inculcating in Africans, right from childhood, the values of good citizenry and leadership, necessary to create a Civilization.
