Have you got any interest in politics, and wish to become
one? Here are six basic steps to take to becoming one;
Step One: Obtain your five O’ Level credits in the following
subjects English, Mathematics, Economics, Commerce and Government. You might
have to develop special interest in Government to enable you know more about
what the structure of governance is. And you must stay abreast with development
in the country daily from politics to economics.
Step Two: Pursue your first degree preferably in Political
Science. Almost all the Universities in Nigeria actually offer the course. And
it is paramount to get a degree even though it mustn’t necessarily be in
Political Science that will help you grounded in previous and current trend in
politics.
Step Three: You might have to become visible in your local
community before hitting the larger scene either at state of federal level. It
is important you engage in your community by working as a volunteer or
committee with a registered political party. That is where your name and brand
will start growing from. You can also engage in some community services for
your people at the local level and get to familiarize yourself with them.
Step Four: Practice Public Speaking at Local Events: if you
have to excel as a politician then there is one attribute of a leader you have
to master which is communication not just one on one but also in public. So you
might have to learn to speak in public, carry yourself, and communicate to the least
person in the simplest language he/she can understand. That is to communicate
your vision to the people.
Step Five: Research your objectives and plans for your
community
Step Six: build your campaign train and even after try the
first time without achieving victory learn to try again and even better with
the spirit of sportsmanship.
