2023; THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION MUST NOT STOP!
By Gbenga Olawepo Hashim

When I was growing up, it was the practise then, that women laid their wares by the roadside and indicated the price of the product by the numbers of stones they kept on the ground. No one took the products without dropping the correct sums of money, and no one who passed-by took the money and/or the wares away.

I so much long for a return to the country of simple and honest people that Nigeria was, and that is why it was easy for me to connect with the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) message of General Buhari and Idiagbon in 1983.

In Ilorin, Kwara State where I schooled, we were the disciples of Idiagbon's campaign against corruption as President of the Dramatic Society in Cherubim and Seraphim College. I was the lead actor in a drama skit against corruption on NTA Ilorin Youth scene. Also, I busted a pattern of stealing in the College Kiosk perpetrated by students appointed to supervise the kiosk, that is a story for another day, that readers would find in my coming autobiography “Sunrise at Midnight” by the of Grace of God. The first volume will be released soon.

Incidentally, the fight against corruption is a major plank of the Buhari Administration. Corruption is one of the major reason Nigeria is backward and the underbelly of some of the security problems of the country such as banditry.

Nigeria loses a lot to corruption. According to Price Water Cooper (PWC), a global Consulting outfit, if not arrested by 2030, corruption will be costing Nigeria 37% of her GDP; i.e. 200 billion USD, a whooping N100 trillion (Naira), about 10 times our national budget. It will translate to 1,000 USD per capital; five hundred thousand by each Nigerian. The significance of this on our lives, in terms of avoidable death is staggering.

Corruption in Nigeria is in various dimension in high places caused by indisciplined life styles, weak regulatory regimes and institutions, eroding ethics and values and a triumphant feeling of impunity that believes there will be no consequence for wrong doing!

At the lower levels, corruption is rationalized as a result of poor earnings. “Man go survive”, or as that everybody is doing it, “It is our way” But it is not our way.

The corruption situation is compounded by an increasingly expanding population of people with ethics and values system that have come to embrace corruption as an acceptable standard and become increasingly audacious that they attack men and women of integrity as “failures”, even though most of attackers come from the ranks of the poorest, they are choristers of those “nouveau-riche”, who have helped themselves from the public purse. They have a sizable presence online venerating corrupt lifestyle.

The fight against corruption is a serious business, law enforcement will not be enough to win it; regulatory reforms are important but just as well as ethical reform on a mass scale; the role of technology is also central in this fight as we aim to reduce the scope of human manipulation of the system.

The fight against corruption is winnable, before some agents of the corrupt start spreading their fatalistic slogan that no one is a saint. There are some inspiring examples in the system even right now; Professor Oloyede as head of JAMB has been returning billions of Naira to Federal Government coffers in an agency that has not returned millions before.

He is also fighting examination scams that have seen even parents of candidates as culprits. Oloyede is not a pastor or a Bishop.

He is a patriotic Nigerian, standing for good values. As a matter of fact, most religious houses have become more or less centres of corruption, where the teachings of obedience of God’s commandments and fear of God have long disappeared.

A good footstep in winning the battle to reduce corruption if not kill it totally, is to ensure that corrupt people with unexplainable wealth do not get elected at any level. Those who have explanation to make to anti-graft agencies and are aspiring for public offices must be put to task about their integrity question. If we are ever going to birth a new Nigeria. It cannot be with the corrupt as midwives!

Are you sure you are not the fool?

Just asking for someone

The fight has ended cos Buhari is now the physical expression of corruption.

Ode...this one too want to use corruption as a campaign strategy! No one has any good economic plan for this country just noise and more noise.

You can’t use corruption to fight corruption. We need sincere leaders in the herms of affairs in Nigeria.

These people don too deceive us with this particular lyrics..But how hard is it to find a messiah who can take Nigeria to her promised land?

So tay dem don use the corruption wey dey for Nigeria dey do example of wishing people birthday like---"May you live long like the corruption in Nigeria"

I feel the Bilms dude might even be Olawepo himself

Pardon me, but has the fight against corruption started? Because all I see is padi padi

Hope you got your iPhone Mr Hashim?

Please it should stop like dis

Did APC at any point fight corruption?

I don’t trust anything from this man’s mouth. He speaks with both sides of his mouth.
I remember that he was very vocal against APC misrule. As soon as APC gave him their usual empty promises & he jumped ship, he started singing APC praise. People like him can’t be trusted. Greed & ambition drives their moral compass & loyalty.
