Demand for excellence 0 Renowned Nigerian scholar, Chinua Achebe had explained who is to be considered as Patriot, beyond the narratives of politicians, as follows: “[a patriot is] one who cares deeply about the happiness and well-being of his country and all its people. Patriotism is an emotion of love directed by a critical intelligence. A true patriot will always demand the highest standards of his country and accept nothing but the best for and from his people. He will be outspoken in condemnation of their short-comings without giving way to superiority, despair or cynicism.” Inna and Joseph are demanding excellence not only at their institution of higher learning, the university of Namibia, but also at various level including national and regional leadership.
