The main Corruption started in Nigeria after Biafra/Nigeria war, When Commander in Thief Of the Yorubas Thief Olefami Awolowo as the Finance minister collaborated with his Yorubas Kinsmen, they descended on the national Coffers and looted every thing, before Nigeria could know what was happening National Coffers are already empty and the money untraceable.

talk true:

Corruption has been the reason why Nigeria still remain undeveloped.
Just wondering if it started during the IBB regime?
Who knows?

Corruption is evident in every governemnt. Even in the United States, which many praise as heaen on earth, corruption is present. Wasn't Murdoff the man who embezzeled $700m in public funds? But I digress, as for Nigeria, mass corruption started in the 70s.

Corruption was there in the beginning, Village head sold their people to slavery and got guns, clothes, shoes and mirrors in return, this was a corrupt practice.

Slavery, atleast in African terms was not corrupt. It was simple and justifiable. People did not sell their own people as yoou stated, usually they sold those who were thieves, war prisoners and etc. Slavery in olden times was a natural means of survival.

Have you heard of King Jaja of Opobo? or better still Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther? base on your theory then these two persons were either theives, war prisoners etc. My brother I disagree with Kunta Kinte wasn't a criminal nor a war prisoner so please go back and read your history books again

O'boy why are you so quick to look for trouble. Abi your television no get signal?
My theory on African slavery is not conclusive. Anyone can enter slavery in the olden days through any means. However, before the days of the white man, slavery was far less an enterprise as it became in that era. People could enter into slavery throuh any means, "war, crime, false accusations, or siimply by kidnapping". Remember in African slavery, Slaves were still human beings and were treated decently. They became part of one's family, could be granted freedom, could be declared heirs/heiresses or the sons/daughters to/of their master. In the days prior to the advent of the Europeans, slaves were valuable commodities.

It wasn't until the 1700s that you saw the massive slave lines and convoys with chains and etc. Now, let me be, I wasn't referring to you in any of my posts abeg.
