Op you can't be asking this question now. I may come back to make my suggestions but seriously, if the FG has no idea on how to tackle corruption, shouldn't there be resignations all over the place by now? |

Transparency. All government dept , ministries and state government should print their monthly and annual accounts in a national newspaper. Your income must match your central government allocations and your expenditure must be supported by capital projects and credible evidence so its clear for all to see where the money has gone. It will promote best practice amongst govts depts It will also weed out incompetent and ineffective leaders who don't achieve anything during their tenure (accountability) 1 Like |

50calibre: There is just one thing that can curb corruption in Nigeria as it is right now, and that is draconian laws. Bros, power is soo sweet that your single term of 10 years would seem too short for you to spend when the time comes. 1 Like |

kingingkinging: I want to respond not because you post story was reasonable but to make known your hidden agenda for writing this article. See what I mean. We cannot even agree what corruption is and who is or is not corrupt. How then can you begin to tackle such a phantom. The average Nigerian defines corruption by the threshold of his or her moral standards and this varies from person to person. Every Nigerian thus has a break over point and consequently a pet corruption project he or her tacitly supports or patronises. We are just too hypocritical. Once again I ask the question. Why is it that with 95% of our economy service driven we claim we donot have the facts of who does what dirty deals. Who processed Akingbola's cash transfers. Who handed Otedola the 600,000 dollars, who designed Orubebe's mansion, who served Otteh the N25,000 prawns, and on and on. Who? Ordinary, everyday folks, victims of the corruption they overtly or covertly abett. Last year Labour was up in arms calling for the faceless fuel cabals they all know too well, pass them in the corridors everyday and assist in their product round tripping. Yet they live in denial, bankers live in denial, policemen, engineers, doctors, secretaries, the whole lot. How can you stop corruption when the level of connivance is so deep that the real, honest economy is non existent. 2 Likes |

Nothing cause every tribe in Nigeria hates themselves and the leaders are capitalizing on it to get away with crimes. The simple solution is to dissolve this entity called Nigeria, we can do with our local thief. |

1)Withdraw all pension and gratuity from every leader find to be corrupt. 2)Create job opportunities and give the power of recruitment to anonymous body. 3)Give every genuine citizens stipend, enough to take care of hunger, every month. 4)Respect for human right to life. No one should be unduely punished, killed or molested by either security operatives or mop by d people. Even the armed robbers, boko haram, kidnappers, prostitutes have right to life until taken from them by the law court. |

Disband nigerian police first,then recruit fresh blood that have to under go strigent IQ test,aptitude test,back to the root background check,physical test,well equiped and reasonably paid. With police in order,that gives you a hub to fight corruption from the bottom to the top. A country without a standing and discipline police force can not be civil. 1 Like |

Ina country like Nigeria where corruption has become a culture, the best way to minimize it is by digitalizing almost everything. That way humans will not be directly responsible for most things. For instance, an electronic voting system should be encouraged. |

All your points are excellent ways we can curb corruption. But the establishment in Nigeria will never allow any single one of them to be implemented bloodlessly. Revolution is the only way. 1 Like |

Mr knowitall.: Religion does not equal corruption. In fact, if we all love and live as God intended (i. e selfless), we will not have corruption as an issue and we will not be having this debate now. Religion is a personal choice. Corruption is also a personal choice . One is meant to enhance lives and our dealings with humanity and the other is not encouraged by any religion for obvious reasons. |

My only concern is that we may have crossed the point of no return to normality. We may officially have attained rogue status. How? Last year alone, almost one trillion naira was stolen through the subsidy scam. Minus 1 trillion to the state that controls security, the judiciary, the armed forces, etc but +1 trillion to gangsters. If you total the losses through crude theft -25%, other schemes and official scams, black money out there may be in excess of our annual budget. This is a clear and present threat to our national security if this black money is unleashed against government. It is not surprising then that government has not being able to handle insurgencies and other internal security challenges. Someone out there is simply paying better. The longer corruption goes on, the more money changes over to the dark side, the more government loses its ability to control the affairs of this country. We don't just respect government because it upholds the law but because it has the means, the resources to uphold it. Am afraid that balance of power is draining fast. 1 Like |

Corruption will reduce considerably the day we have real people of integrity heading country. It is only a man who is not interested in corruptly enriching himself that can bring on board like minds who will help in building strong institutions that can fight corruption and make corruption less attractive. |
