The study was carried out to examine the Impact of Biblical Old Testament Shepherd Motive for Nigerian Leadership. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to explore the most effective and sustainable role of the shepherd enshrined in Old Testament relevant to the role of the pastor in the church today and provide an adequate translation and interpretation that will correct the misunderstanding and misconception of the shepherd motif which has been subjected to criticism in recent times.

The research design used in this report is descriptive design, utilizing questionnaire method to obtain information from the respondents for this project. Primary data were collected from the primary source which questionnaire was used as an instrument of data collection while secondary data were sources from textbooks, journals, newspapers and the internet were employed. The data were presented on a frequency distribution table and analyzed using simple percentage, while hypothesis was tested using chi-square test. The findings of this study will help explore and contribute towards proffering solutions to the existing problem. As far as this study is concerned, it is as clear as a motor mechanic who discovers a blockage in the fuel filter and tries to clean it up and fix it back for efficient use. This research is not in any way trying to proffer solutions outside of scripture. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the shepherd model, an ideal biblical form of leadership as a solution to Nigeria’s governance and perennial leadership crisis.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

The shepherd metaphor is an appropriate and useful image for depicting the nature, role, and proper functions of faithful leadership among God’s people. The shepherd-leader motif in Scripture has garnered increasing attention among scholars concerned with the nature and function of pastoral leadership in recent years. The Old Testament utilizes the good shepherd metaphor to convey multiple truths about leadership in Israel. Bailey notes three distinct uses of shepherd imagery in the Old Testament (Bailey 2014: 31-34). The considerable extent of the shepherd-leader motif throughout Scripture provides sufficient insight into the nature and role of spiritual leadership to construct a reasonable profile of a model leader (Laniak 2006; Merkle and Schreiner 2014; Tidball 2008; Bailey 2014; Golding 2006a; Golding 2006b).

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitation of the study and Definition of technical terms.
