description The paper has established the nexus between leadership and national development. It reveals national development is depended on leadership and such as, leadership is essential as an independent variable in every ramification of countries. Thus, the chapter also reveals that regime is not recipe for development as the south-east-Asia country laid the foundation their present subsumable development during authoritative regime. Generally, the critics of the regime are of the view that there is need to examine the fact that in all the battles against indiscipline in the last four decades, the leadership itself has not been disciplined enough to lead by example and therefore, defeated the campaigns even before take-off.It is only a disciplined leadership that can inspire or mobilise a disciplined followership and nurture desirable values in any nation. At this time of economic recession, it may be doubly difficult a task to mobilise a hungry and angry citizenry. Yet this must be done. Therefore, while citizens must be appealed to on what to do to maintain discipline in the country, those in authority should lead by example, render genuine service and think seriously of a credible way of mobilising the citizens. Nigeria needs more than the revival of a slogan or an acronym to mobilise Nigerians for the fight against indiscipline.
