We think it’s lack of solid Judicial system to punish political crimes as well as lack of proper systems and leadership structure to check corruption. If corrupt politicians can be held accountable for their crimes and punished accordingly, others will learn.

THE POOR, THE VICTIM OF OUR LAWS Laws should be made for the comprehensive growth of any country. Visionary Leaders make stringent laws for their country according to the peculiarities of their country and in the quest to correct the stumbling blocks that hampers their country’s growth and development. Nigerian leaders have performed wonderfully in this regard. Remember, a death-Penalty was passed for Terrorism and was welcomed. Again, a death-Penalty was considered for Kidnapping, it was praised. Also, the third stumbling block our Nigerian leaders considered was Oil-theft and death-Penalty has been recommended. Kidnapping and Terrorism are social corruption, while Oil-theft is an economic sabotage and they have put a clog in the wheels of our growth and development as a country. So, these three god-forbidden sons (Terrorism, Kidnapping and Oil-Theft) deserve the laws considered for them. Am convinced to shout FOUL and it beats my imagination that their Progenitor, CORRUPTION Itself is still walking freely in the streets of our dear country, Allah Kiyaye! Perhaps, the mask of corruption is not worn by the poor of the society. Corruption is definitely perpetrated by our leaders, themselves who were and who are still decisive in the decision-making of our country. The so called leaders were not visionary to have noticed the impact of their actions (we all known as corruption) against our growth and development and still are yet not visionary and sensitive enough to have felt the impact of the Monster they created that now has three sons-Kidnapping, Terrorism and Oil-Theft that are to be killed while their Progenitor go scot-free, Tufiakwa! I believe that every problem has a solution, no matter how long it lasts. If the leaders refuse to come up with a death-Penalty on Corruption, the father of the three slain sons, now; then, they are simply inviting the masses to act, because Nigerians are fast losing confidence in them. Their refusal meant to a discerning mind that their hands are soiled in Corruption. No wonder they recite with impunity “those who live in glass houses don’t throw stones” I promise them that the masses will undauntedly revolt through a revolution which can take any shape and the so called leaders afterwards will regret what becomes of them because the revolution will be sweeping. Only then, will they realize that a stitch in time saves nine. Odor Michael Youth Activist

Sir,I was a staff of the Federal Ministry of Education-Abuja from 1997-2006 and resigned to pick up an appointment with the Modibbo Adama University of Technology- Yola, Adamawa State. I have been engaged in processing my gratuity since but unfortunately my file mischievously got missing at the last point of payment…f/no.55288. This is a clear case of bribe/corruption at work; it is either someone is interested in taking my entitlements since i am engaged elsewhere or perhaps they want to force me to part with something before bringing out the file. I am frustrated going to Abuja all the time and this is taking tolls on my present work.HELP ME PLEASE….is this how to serve the country?

Is bribery and corruption a worst enemy than armedrobbery?

  • Asked on January 21, 2013

  • Government Ministry & Establishment / Federal Capital

Both are serious crimes against humanity. One is a capital offence and the other bribery becomes a capital offence depending on the level. For example a governor who embezzles resource meant for schools, hospitals etc is more than armed robbery because this is equal to jeopardizing the lives of those who cannot receive medical attention or education due to such high level robbery.

Corruption in Nigeria, who is to be blamed, the government or the citizens?

Both the government and the citizens are to be blamed. Fighting corruption should be a collective fight every Nigerian citizen should be involved with. Nigeria has lost billions of dollars from the looting of its treasury over the years. Until all those who stole and shipped our money to foreign countries decades ago are brought to book, this fight will never be a success.

Causes of corruption in Nigeria
1. Weak Government institutions
2. Poor pay incentives
3. Lack of openness and Transparency in public service
4. Absence of key anti corruption tools
5. Ineffective political processes
6. Culture and acceptance of corruption by the populace
7. Absence of effective political financing Poverty
8. Ethnic and religious difference Resource scramble

The fight against corruption in Nigeria is not working because of the following factors:
1. Insincerity of Government
2. Pre bargaining and Negotiation, highly placed officials caught of corrupt practices are made to part with some of their looted funds and are thereafter set free.
3. Low deterrent- the punitive measures for corrupt practices need to be strengthened
4. Lack of virile political and social movements to tackle corruption. The mass of the people are yet to be mobilises in the fight against corruption
5. Lack of access to public information. A lot of secrecy still pervades Government documents, and this underlies the need for the passage of the freedom of Information Bill presently before Nigeria’s National Assembly.
6. Insecurity of Informants. There is a need to enact laws to protect informants as well as reward them
7. Low public participation in Governance
8. Corrupt Electoral system
9. Nepotism
10. Systemic disorder
11. Weak Government Institutions
