Answer 2

Answer:

Niyi Osundare's novel The Leader and the Led delves into the concept of good leadership. The poem depicts an ideal leader and the qualities that such a leader should possess. Nigeria, the poet's birthplace, is no stranger to the devastation caused by poor leadership and mismanagement.

Explanation:

• A good leader is "a little of a lamb, a little of a lion," "tough like a tiger, compassionate like a doe," and "transparent like a river, mysterious like a lake," according to Niyi Osundare. A leader, according to Osundare, should be a mix of many things; flexible and fluid enough to exhibit different traits at different times.
• Osundare obviously had Nigeria in mind when he wrote The Leader and the Led. The animal gathering is an allegory for Nigerian citizens in the process of selecting their leader.
• But they agree on one thing: their leader should not be oppressive like the lion; should not feed on their sweat and blood like the hyena; should not be out of reach like the long-necked gorilla; should not be as deceptive as the duplicity of a zebra's stripes; and should not be intimidating like the trampling elephant. When ugliness and riotousness are mentioned, it is clear that they seek perfection in their leader, which is nearly impossible to achieve.
• The Forest Sage, a wise man of sorts, enters the fray, and it is his recommendation that defines an ideal leader. His definitive words on the qualities of an ideal leader put people on the right track in their search.

Thus this is the answer.
