Protagonists And The Rest Of Us

Ruminations with Ohiro Oni-Eseleh

In this episode, Ohiro Oni-Eseleh discusses political leadership in the context of a play in which those who govern are the protagonists and those who they govern accept their relegation to the sidelines as mere onlookers instead of being active participants in shaping the societies that they live in. He argues that our world is replete with social injustice largely because political leaders have been allowed to govern irresponsibly while most of the rest of us just look on.
