When you give bribe to pass through the airport with your overweight luggage, it means you're promoting corruption = corruption
When you bribe police officer for driving with an expired license, it means you're promoting corruption = corruption
When you bribe immigration officer to jump line at the airport, it means you're promoting corruption = corruption
When you buy answers to your final exam, it means you're promoting corruption = corruption

My point: you do not have to be a governor or directly steal government money to be corrupt. Corruption is directly embedded in our blood through our wonderful materialistic culture.
Nobody is willing to wait for God's blessing.

FACT: There is nothing one could accomplish successfully in our society (Nigeria) today without exercising the mighty unblushing bribery practice.
And 99% of Nigerians in Nigeria see nothing wrong with this picture, but would quickly point fingers at their governors for stealing without paying any attention to the root of the problem.
It is sad that an average 25 years old Nigerian today sees politics as pepper soup and would exercise this mentality without any hesitation if elected as a political leader.

Don't mind him @ viv.  His generalization was both hasty and careless.  It's a perfect example of what colonial mentality has done to many Nigerians.  If ABC airs another episode of 20-20 incriminating all Nigerians as corrupt and evil, he would most likely be the first to scream "YES WE ARE"! It's more agreeable to say that many Nigerians are corrupt. Not ALL.  Big B1, how do you even expound it? Big B1, please understand the difficulty people face in finding ways to survive despite a regressive government and a totally reprehensible economy.  This is the reason some of us have chosen to suspend the country in search of a more-rewarding economy.

i havent been to nigeria in 8years
but believe me i would rather give a five pound bribe than spend hours in the hot freakin sun talking to a stupid police man who is just tryin to make some extra cash
after all i cant fight a one man war

you do not have to name names ok, just wait till election time ,

1. IBB
2. Abacha
3. Atiku
4. Tinubu

7. Wabara
8. Alamayiesegha
9. Odili

11. saminu Turaki

I refuse to include Obasanjo, because despite all the kerfuffle from the National Assembly about this and that probe, nobody has actually made any accusation against him that is backed up with facts. However, in ALL of the cases I've mentioned above, there is clear EVIDENCE of corruption, some of it public knowledge, some not. If you want details, just ask.

Umaru Dikko.

THE MOST CORRUPT POLITICIAN IN NIGERIA RIGHT NOW:

THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE, MICHEAL AONDOAKAA THAT GUY IS THE FUCKIN ANTITHESIS OF EVERYTHING HIS POSITION REPRESENTS.

THE MOST CORRUPT NIGERIAN EVER, SANI ABACHA (OVER $4 BILLION STOLEN)

At last someone remembered to include Tinubu. In my reckoning he's one of the most corrupt politicians ever. Pls forget sectarianism, i'm from the southwest the very state he ruled. The fact that's he's beloved smacks of his "jeun soke" (share the booty) brand of politics. He truly belongs there!

Virtually almost all former governors and past leaders are in strong contention here!

IBB is the most corrupt and taught nigerians how to be corrupt. He got involved with drug trafficking (remember Gloria Okon case), embezzlement. 419 started in his government because he allowed it. He is the most corrupt. followed by the folloing;
1. Abacha
2. atiku
3. obasanjo
4. odili
5. ibori
6. kalu
