''Corruption is a wide concept and very difficult to define. If a girl after having sex with a man gets favor in return, that is corruption" - Rotimi Ameachi.

''Stealing is not corruption" - GEJ.

''I did not sign any cheque as governor, why ask me of 78 million contract that i sign no cheque'' - Fashola

''This issue of corruption is a whole thing that starts from the oath taking of public officials, if you read the content of the oath of office and the oath of allegiance which are supposed to be in line with the fulfillment of the implementation of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria''- Sarah Jubril.

Personally i like Ameachi's definition from these perspective:

2. The bank female marketer that sleep with top CEO to take get the account to her bank, is corrupt and the CEO corrupt.
3. The female that sleeps with the guys both enjoying the co-mingling and the female collects money from the guy, she is corrupt.
