Before I begin, I would like to ask a question. When you go to a theatre to watch a movie, and find that there are no tickets left, what do you do? Do you say,” It’s OK, we can come another time.” Or do you buy a ticket in black black market, paying N2000 for a ticket when it actually costs N1000? The answer to this question shows the level of corruption we found ourselves today. This article is aptly timed; since Borno central bye election is around the corner in which some corrupt personalities are trying to occupy the seat under the guise of SAK mantra. Today, corruption is one of the greatest factors hindering development and stifling the realisation of dividends of democracy under the leadership of this present State Government in our State Borno. Corruption affects the growth of our dear state adversely under the state government. It reduces the Government’s income, and creates inequalities in distribution of income and wealth in our state. Corruption is really affecting the development, economically, socially and politically. Corruption may come in many forms, often in politics. Politicians on a quite regular basis have been found guilty of corruption. Politicians under the leadership of this state government use unethical techniques to gain an advantage in an election, to gain more money, votes or to acquire ungotten wealth under the guise of insurgency. Corruption is caused mainly by the desires of power and want. Corruption creates a negative atmosphere. Detrimental corruption does not bring about any good, As Shakespeare said,”The best things corrupted become the worst.” Is dirty hands necessary in politics as Kashimiyyas do always claim? Corruption Under the leaderahip of KSM has been a stigma of the government since what feels like the beginning of time. Yet, it’s also one of the areas that seem to have never been through an internal cleansing under Borno State administration. Some (Kashimiyyas) dare say that getting your hands dirty is a necessary evil to be a politician, and it’s that kind of thinking that puts our State in these seemingly impossible situations. Is it necessary to play dirty to make it in the world of politics as they claimed? No, it definitely isn’t and shouldn’t. Being a politician should be the most selfless job available. You’re supposed to take yourself out of the equation and do what’s necessary for the people you’re representing, not what will line your pockets with more money which is often the case (Kashimiyyas' style). Corrupt politicians in our State have forgotten the core principles of being a “man or woman of the people”; they should be representing their constituents, which are often left no the wayside with their pockets turned out, wondering what happened. Besides this, getting your hands dirty only makes politics all the more difficult in the end. When you stop fighting for what’s right and what the people need, you start waging pointless battles for the sake of those you made your dirty promises to. How many standoffs would honestly be resolved in a matter of days (opposed to the weeks or months even years) if their reasoning was sound and just? e.g. Lagos Street Road. It wasn’t a matter of how much money they would lose if a specific bill was to pass, but instead, was a matter of how much the people of each state would be hurt? Politics can be a lot cleaner and, without a doubt, far simpler if people stop trying to sate their seemingly endless greed; saying that you have to get your hands dirty in order to participate in politics sends all the wrong messages. “The hill” shouldn’t be a wolves den where people are devouring each other, or backstabbing one another for a quick buck (overnight enrichment). Politics should be about something more, a duty to the people that have put their trust in you. When you play dirty, remember who is going to suffer in the end. Corruption under this very present Borno State Administration is one of the deadly, undesirable and wicked sins that has been imposed on the innocent people by some hungry looking monsters. It is omnipresent, almost like a distorted, antithetical version of God for the present times. It doesn’t sound euphonious when we hear that it has not only led to the malfunctioning of the administrative system and poor law and order, but also some serious causes like poverty and redtapism, which has led to the society’s disability. It has distorted all values and made mincemeat of morality, truth and virtue. It has entered into every single aspect of our lives becoming all-pervasive just similar to the air we breathe. It is growing massively in huge proportions and there is barely any sphere of social, political, economic and even religious activity that is free from graft, fraud and corruption of some kind under the leadership of Kashimiyyas. It is now regarded as a fact of life and an evil which is inseparable with which we have to live with throughout. It happens as much as in the daylight, as it is done behind the closed doors. It is under every stone we turn and every door we open. Thus, it is this “corruption” that can be considered as a deadly sin in our society and it is a shame that we are being evasive and denying this fact by considering it as a habit and a part of our lives. Human beings are full of temptations. After all human beings are human beings. And in fact, gold and cash acts as a bait to these politicians and officials who are fond of bribe in any way. They just need something to avoid the itching on their hands. But the stink lies not only in the prevalence of the lure of gold, but in the hypocrisy that accompanies it by their so called supporters under the guise of SAKK. It’s really disheartening when a corrupt person after taking a bribe, talks about the high moral standards and urges people to follow the principles and ideologies of Baba Buhari, and remain honest, true and just in whatever they do. Such hypocrisy complexes the offence, but our so called Commissioners, politicians and officials are getting callous and do not pay any heed. They have a belief that it is all a way of life and a part of their routine and describe it as unavoidable and an incurable disease. Almost everyone under this state government, from government officials to the judiciary people to the private corporate gurus who are answering the name Kashimiyyas, all are thirsting for personal profits. The energetic youth today can be one source that can actually uproot the very weed of corruption. the is why the most popular slogan "BORNO TAFI JAM'IYYA" came into existance among the youths of our dear state and it spreading everywhere. It can act like a ‘vanarsena’ and attack with full force the authorities which play the major culprit feeding this malady. Positive reforms should be brought out, so that we not only dream but also work together actively hand in hand towards developing our state that is free from the evil called ‘CORRUPTION’ under this State Government. A word is enough for the wise! The problem we are facing now is that most of our so called elders are afraid to say the truth and fear is what created the monster in the room, and in order to overcome the many problems and enslavements that we have today in our state, it is not about getting rid of the monster, but about getting rid of the fear and we must do that under # BORNO # TAFI # JAM'IYYA.

Today, corruption is one of the greatest factors hindering
development and stifling the realisation of dividends of
democracy under the leadership of this present State
Government in our State Borno. Corruption affects the

government. It reduces the Government’s income, and

Corruption may come in many forms, often in politics.
Politicians on a quite regular basis have been found guilty of
corruption. Politicians under the leadership of this state
government use unethical techniques to gain an advantage
in an election, to gain more money, votes or to acquire
ungotten wealth under the guise of insurgency.
Corruption is caused mainly by the desires of power and
want. Corruption creates a negative atmosphere.
Detrimental corruption does not bring about any good, As
