“Onye nna ya duira oshi n'eji ụkwụ agbawa ụzọ”
"A child sent by his father to steal does not bother picking locks - he kicks down the door!"
Hopefully no right thinking father would send his son to rob others, because when a child has the support and backing of his father he is bold! The point is that this is true whether the mission is morally justified or not. Navy seals on Osama Bin Laden's trail in 2011; Nazi soldiers running the concentration camps during WWII; ; or unarmed Indians resisting the force of the British empire with Gandhi; - they are all witnesses to this ancient Igbo proverb.
When you have the support and backing of the authorities, it gives you boldness, so get it and watch how this invisible quality changes your attitude and approach to action.
If you are a leader - empower your subordinates with your support and watch the passion and energy be unleashed.
But one thing - don't send them to steal, it'll make them courageous thieves.
