Assume corruption is a universal set.
The subsets of this universal set are stealing,tribal bias in official appointments,not doing what you are paid to do, not following due process etc.

A subset of a universal set is equal to that universal set if and only if every element in the universal set is also in that subset and have same magnitude.

Stealing is a financial crime. Stealing is not the same as tribal bias or not following due process, yet they all belong to the same universal set (corruption).

Stealing is a partition or a class of corruption.
Stealing is a subset of corruption.
Corruption is a superset of stealing.

Hence stealing is not corruption.


Note:
Stealing is in corruption,but stealing is not corruption.Nigeria is in Africa,but Nigeria is not Africa.

good example of corruption

yeah. Buhari is a good example of corruption.

Nice one . .

Hmmm...ok o

All corruption is stealing but not All stealin is corruption

I don't quite agree with your line of reasoning. The question is not whether stealing is equal to corruption ( which you convincingly proved mathematically). It is whether stealing is corruption or not. Reading most of the comments on this topic, there seem to be a consensus that stealing is a subset of corruption. But whether this makes it corruption is where people differ. My own take on this matter is that if stealing is a subset of corruption, then stealing is corruption. For instance, a rabbit is subset or a family) of the animal kingdom, therefore a rabbit is an animal.

can you prove it?

Nigeria is a country in Africa,can you say Nigeria is Africa?

No but Nigeria and africa are somehow related. when something happens in Nigeria I already know its in africa. Therefore Nigeria is lessthan or equal to africa .

you are partially right.Nigeria is less than but not equal to Africa. Nigeria is a proper subset of Africa.

What is this one saying?

OP you are just as clueless as your Oga@dTOP.

For your information...the theory of sets and subsets does not apply to this matter in that way...

Lets look at it with simple common sense:
Another word for corruption is "VICE" or "BAD HABIT"

Stealing is a vice
Stealing is a bad habit
Stealing is a corrupt act
Stealing is corruption

Anyhow you want to put it...the fact remains the same

u saTANiod are really corruption impersonified,ur first lady that receive bilions every month did not deem it fit to give to d needy,d only thing she knows how to do,is to go around disgracing herself with grammar,don't worry shepopotamus and d clueless phd without thesis wil speak grammar inside jail on july 30th 2015.for now is buhari 2015.

This is the correct explanation. Most people who use mathematics to explain things either fail in defining the problem correctly, mis interpret some variable definitions or use the axioms that mathematical analysis is based upon in a very wrong manner.

I don't think Mrs Buhari was donating her own money. I actually seriously suspect it was a Borno State event that she was asked to be chief donor.

Akara is not beans.

fufu is not cassava.

Ebola is not virus

Kpomo is not skin

following your analysis above, the relationship between stealing and corruption is that, they are both crimes.

In mathematics if you say a is be, it means that you can prove that a =b.

I am simply saying that stealing is a class and not all of corruption. Use your common sense na

can you say every animal is a rabbit?
