Corruption And Armed Robbery Which Is Worse??? by OlaSpeaker(m): 10:41pm On Sep 17, 2015
Reading through the news from may 29 one may arguably agree that corruption as indeed eaten deep into our country system which no doubt as been the reason the country growth and development as been on a slow motion since independence, corruption may still be attributed to poor governance and bad leadership or should i said the reverse is the case but whichever way the dice turn the result will still be that corruption is like a plague that as befallen our great country, those that goes into public service no longer sees selfless service as a motivating factor rather their stimulant is what they will get out of the service which they never offer in the first place.

However, this might have been the reason president Muhammadu Buhari has throw up the hat to fight corruption and his administration to see an end to this menace that as ravaged our country for long. what then should the president do or how should the president fight this monster remain a question many Nigerians are still pondering on even when it is a common knowledge to overwhelming number of Nigeria's population that corruption is our common enemy and to kill it will requires a joint effort of all yet some are still reserved and some keep on condemning every effort and action taken by the president to curb the strength of this demon. Recently labour unions (NLC and TUC) throw their support for the war against corruption crusade of president Muhammadu Buhari and agitate capital punishment for any convicted corrupt person but there as been divers opinions on this some quarters in the country are saying capital punishment is bizarre and as not stop corruption in the countries they have been used that imprisonment should be enough punishment for those fund guilty. The recent outburst on this was that of the FORMER Commissioner of Police, Chief
Ikechukwu Aduba (retd), who described the call of death penalty for treasury looters to check official corruption by the labour unions as bizarre and unrefined though many including state governors has aired their different opinions on this which some aligned their self with the call of the labour unions and some giving a condition as, if it suit majority of the people.

But if the former pilice chief said death penalty is bizarre for treasury looters how then is it beeing use for amed robbers who only steal from few individuals and which the effect of their action is felt by few, for every naira stolen from the government coffers it as an adverse effects on many who are denied the access to which such money is meant for many have died of poor healthcare facilities, starvation, unclean water, depression, accident due to devastating state of our roads many are denied good education poor power supply has crumble many businesses these are not because government does not or did not allocate fund for these amenities to be in place but because some greedy individuals have siphon the money meant for it yet this former police chief and his like did not see treasury looters as thieves and murderers who could deserve death as punishment well if death penalty is seen to be too much for treasury looters then armed robbers should also not be sent to hang after all they both commit the same crime of theft.
