Buhari: Corruption Will Kill Nigeria If Not Defeated by zakim(m): 9:34pm On Nov 07, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari has said corruption will kill Nigeria if it is not fought by government and Nigerians. The President said this Monday when he launched four special anti-corruption postage stamps at the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST)headquarters in Abuja. Represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Engr Babachir David Lawal, the President also said corruption and corrupt practices had become so endemic in the country that the nation’s corporate existence was being threatened, adding that virtually all sectors of the economy are in one way or the other affected. “Needless to say that it has impacted negatively on the country’s reputation and created obstacles to local and foreign direct investments. Our nation’s economic growth, global competiveness, general development and upliftment of our citizens have remained stunted. The effects of corruption cannot be over emphasised”, he said. President Buhari said corruption must be fought lest it kills the country. “As a nation, if we truly desire to survive, it is imperative that we fight and get rid of this monster before it kills us all”, according to the president. According to him, to allow corruption to blossom is to aggravate poverty and inequality which could lead to loss of faith in political leadership and engender criminality. He therefore, urged all Nigerians to join the fight against corruption as a collective responsibility.

Incompetence is worst. Dishonesty is the true state of most people in the world, which is why CCTV was invented. Incompetence is why the bank was placed in an area known for armed robbery and why, having placed the bank there no CCTV (CCTV as a metaphor) was placed in position as deterrence. Incompetence is why the bank owners put in charge of purchasing the CCTV people not vetted and some of those went and deliberately bought dud systems.

...actually corruption does not even come close.... tribalism is your true culprit after comes incompetence . Tribalism is the culture in which everything including corruption is acceptable- one way or another. Strident religious and political divisions are part of tribalism. Corruption can even be managed. When managed well corruption greases the wheels of industry. International investors often like to invests in third-world places where there is security and flexible bureaucracy. For flexible read corruption.... grin
