          "Gentlemen opposite are always talking of the People as distinguished from the rest of the nation. But strip the nation of its aristocracy, strip it of its magistrates, strip it of its clergy, of its merchants, of its gentry, and I no more recognize a people than I recognize in the bird of Diogenes the man of Plato!"

Religion is also part of the serious element of solution to Nation building without any omission of anything.

                                        A leader needs the understanding of the place of worship and respect within the people voted him or her into the office of leadership to give common aspect in worship beyond hatred to one another regardless of our faith. Every leaders needs to know the place of religion in the heart of the people leading without prejudices.

                                        Nation is build on religion tolerant for border open door towards investment opportunity from foreign partners as a way of respect to their faith and opportunity to worship without losing the value of their own faith.

                                        Any Nation building toward developmental goals ahead of time needs a leadership who can open doors for religion tolerant regardless of the faith the leader carried at heart in worship. Every leaders are the picture of excellence in the face of people group of the Nation given the privileged to lead.

                                        The religion battle can easily divide Nation economy and destroy the value which carried among other Nations.

                                        A Christian must not see the christian faith more important than Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Makubaro (traditional worship), Though the religion templates give us the reason of how important our faith is to God. The creator of the universe, plant, animals and human being

                                        Nation leaders should ascertained the common background in the place of worship to God not in creating battles that can set Nation apart and destroy the common interest towards Country growth

                                                  Today is as good a day as any to discover (as I did) this fascinating map of the National Parks and how the administration has attempted to censor the history and science they tell.

                                                  A court has ordered that they must be restored by July 4.

                                                  Interesting note: almost 92% of the public comments were about the Executive Order, not complaints about any perceived inaccuracy in the Parks.

                                                        A woman or man can be the leader of a home or Nation. It about the matter of gifting and talent in the administration of building opportunity that will enhance and support the basic need the people assigned to lead

                                                        You got their vote, right and support by the contributions of the right and money they donated for your campaign to see democracy alive and respected. It a necessary thing for you to serve as a servant leader and not as an opportunity to abused and oppressed their right given to you.

                                                        Some citizen prepared a communist system of government because that’s how they can find peace to their soul and respected as a citizen to their country because many time they tried democracy and it has failed them. The experience democracy and military government gave them instinct like trauma which makes unforgettable to them.

                                                        People desire a leader with good leadership skills at home or in a country. A leader that can create innovations and ideas to growth economy and the pocket of very citizen. Some countries are poor as a result of bad leadership skills and countries are blessed from the “Father of creation” as a result of good management skills but bad leadership skills makes life worst.

                                                        I was in a country in Europe before my Nationality as an American from my African background

                                                        You see this country, they never got ocean or sea but river and lake generated from the cold water coming from the mountain by ice formed. And they still works on import and export of goods from their country to another countries that’s kind of innovations and ideas which generated incomes for the country. Also giving desire for farmers and how farmer managed their farm products which got me amazed and wondered of how the leadership of the country look likes and managed with excellence spirit of leadership.
