What really is corruption, and who actually is
corrupt?
Over some time now I get confused with the
expressions and usage of the term corruption. it appears some Nigerians for
reasons best known to them have been presbyopic about corruption thus degrading
its coverage to just bribery, money laundry, diversion, mismanagement, looting and
few other selected crimes portrayed as being fought against openly currently. Do
you really know what corruption stand for, get your dictionary and educate
yourself to avoid being fooled, but before then this is my understanding of the
word corruption.
Corruption is an act of moral perversion; depravity, perversion of integrity, breach of trust, demoralization, contempt and dishonest
proceedings, exploitation, misrepresentation skimming,debased form of word, language or text, rottenness and nepotism. In light of
the foregoing who should be seen as corrupt in Nigeria?
Politically including the current leadership of the nation who is corruption free, and
what is the name of the current method adopted for fighting corruption, or are
you also pretending not know those leaders whose activities satisfies the
definition above or from your search?. The truth is when the blind lead the
blind they will all crash into a pit and that is our current situation as a
nation.
Our leaders at all levels are either elected ,
nominated or traditionally recognized by all as citizens of this country to
represent us in any space or contraption called a community, LG, or state, but what do
we see especially now that people allow themselves to be fooled that corruption
is being fought and defeated.
In fact, my heart bleeds when I listen to comments
and utterances from our so-called political elites and leaders. They are double
standard saying one thing when it is to their favour and vice versa. It is unfortunate
and a shame.
What is the composition of our federal, state and
even LG appointments today? These sensitive issues are being handled with
sentiments and our corruption sensors does not seem detect any of these. Nations where development and growth is the
target, corruption is fought aiming at carrying every one along thus ensuring
fairness, equity, and justice.
Any sane citizen knows that Nigeria belong to all
of us, but surprisingly you hear some
persons speak as if it is their personal property while others are
tenants and such mad ones have never tried doing anything in the whole of their lives the normal way. It’s
a pity.
Less I forget to ask this question, have you ever
bothered to check our admission, appointment, and other national beneficiary
lists, check one and you will confirm my claims yet the same people shout of
being marginalized. Propaganda as I know is a sin and sin must be punished; my
joy is that God is not man for that he can’t be mocked.
what is the position of the laws of our land on
fire arms?, yet there are special people who carry these contraband items around
with license to even take lives of others, or yes otherwise show me a single arrest made by either the Police
or DSS in any part of this country since this nonsense started, then you tell me we are fighting corruption?.Pretense
is corruption and this indicts our leaders at all levels.
We all lie to be a religious; religion even
paganism, teaches equality, equity, justice, and fairness, yes I have heard
this being preached among all Nigerian religions but do we practice same if
it’s true that religion is a way of life. our religious, and traditional
leaders have joined the band wagon by
the earlier definition of corruption, they
have become even more corrupt than the
political elites who are not just economical with the truth, but selfish,
insensitive, dishonest, misrepresenting and shamefully disappointing. Imagine
this scenario where a traditional ruler instead of frowning and taking a stance,
ends up begging a governor to please pay civil servants what is their
constitutional right, all because they have belittled and sold their birth
right for money. What a disgrace!
The constitutional immunity clause for Nigerian
political office holders is a serious crack accommodating and licensing
corruption. Is that what obtains in developed nations? I thought we are good
copiers, but why do we hate to copy good things?
We anticipated change, because we were assured of
putting a stop to corruption, but to our dismay, the change government can’t
even hold her governors accountable for funds she dispensed for specific
purposes. The commoners on their part always confirms their madness because
they are either not paid or paid any percentage an elected governor wakes up
and decides on as salary, but you unbelievably see and hear some of these stupid
fools still singing praises and expressing allegiance to the same governors on
either tribal or religious grounds.
The bitter truth is that you can’t just hold to the
handle of sentimental dispensation of justice and expect good follower ship,
peace, development and growth, because you can only fool some people sometimes
but never all the people all the time. God
is watching and because he is just, at the appropriate time he will compensate
every one according to his/her did whether good or bad.
