Jonathan's administration has been under attack for quite some time now. The impression people get about this administration especially outside the shores of Nigeria is that our president is so corrupt that he can do no right! Thanks to our unprofessional African journalism that keeps portraying only the bad image of the continent! No wonder, in the eyes of the Western world, Africans are so in a predicament that we cant offer much to the world's advancement.

Any analytic mind following the affairs of this mistake of a nation called Nigeria would know that the total system is in shambles and most commentaries are geared towards fortifying the fortunes/misfortunes which 2015 presidential election may bring! US and UK for instance are as corrupt as Nigeria if not more. Now the difference with these nations is that they have effective system that checks and punishes corrupt practices as well as corrupt leaders and individuals! China is a classical example. Why would ours be different? Is it that our public officers don't have the will to fight corruption or is corruption now a way of life in Nigeria?

Which Nigerian leader; present or past will pass a corruption test if there is any? The answer is NONE! Never has Nigeria produced a leader who considers the common good first before their personal gains! Or a president/leader who sees Nigeria as one and as such pursues projects meant to touch the lives of Nigerian citizens no matter their tribe or belief! Or a president/leader devoid of tribal sentiments, who considers the good of all more important to his/her tribe! This can go on and on! History alone will exonerate Leaders who in their capacity tried to make a difference!

I dare ask this question; Can a Bad Man Be A Good Teacher of Ethics?

In one of his books, Ola Rotimi once asked, if the citadel of justice is corrupt, what then happens to the body polity? In recent times, most politicians perhaps those who have fallen out of favor now parade themselves as 'Anti-Corruption' Crusaders! They only beam their searchlight for personal gains whenever there is perceived corrupt practice which maybe they didn't benefit from. It is hard to find anti-corruption voices like Gani of blessed memory who was so audible and consistent during the military regime! When the likes of Tinubu, Femi Fani Kayode, Lamido, Babangida et al for instance parade themselves as agents of positive change and anti-corruption crusaders, they only make mockery of such!

Our corrupt lawmakers can never have the moral will to make laws that'll fight corruption in the public and private institutions of government and at large the whole Nigerian system! So, when next the likes of Tambuwal make mention of 'body language' let him not forget that under his leadership of the lower chamber, no giant stride has been recorded in the fight against corruption! Also, his body language suggests he encourages corruptions as Farouk - Otedola bribery scam still remains a mystery to the lawmakers! Not to mention the subsidy scam that is yet to be resolved! I hope the lawmakers have the interest of the people @ heart when they go on legislating on issues that dont have positive impacts in the lives of people!

Obasanjo's voice is now heard as an elder stateman who under the leadership of this nation, Nigeria recorded a total decay of the public system! Yes, we all know that Jonathan's administration has not lived up to expectation in fighting corruption in this country, yet we'll always give credit to Obasanjo who instituted corrupt practices! Obasanjo had the opportunity to set things right during his second coming as the president, but he did not! He rather deepened and fortified the foundation of corruption in the Nigerian system laid by the military , and of which, he now accuses Jonathan of! The truth is, 'nemo dat quod non habet'- No one gives what he/she does not have! Obasanjo rather than publicizing his letter of advice to Jonathan should rather start making amends for putting us into the mess we are in. He should not exonerate himself from the poor condition of things in Nigeria.

Ethics is fundamentally about rightness and wrongness of actions. In as much as one can teach well what he/she does not practice just as it was the case in the time of the Pharisees vs Jesus. A bad man just like OBJ can be a teacher of ethics but I find it quite difficult to believe that he can be a good teacher of ethics! This goes to all our public officers! We will find it difficult to believe that our leaders (the presidency, Senate, HOA, Ministers, Governors, Political Parties et al) are ready to fight corruption until they start setting examples with themselves!
