Okay! Good Evening NL.

I'm having this argument with a friend. Who brought the issue of GEJ saying "Stealing is not Corruption".

Literary speaking, I'd say that statement is true (personally)

Who's on same lane with me abeg?

I concur with the above.

if the synonym for corruption is = fraud
And the synonym for stealing = defraud.
Therefore corruption = stealing
And stealing = corruption.
