CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA (1) What is corruption? This is a question that has plagued the ordinary man for over a century. Many definitions exist for this one word, some describe what it could be, but none describe all it is. Since the Nigerian First republic, incoming governments have taken to accusing the former government of this grand crime against the people. This new government will also be accused of the same crime by another incoming government when it also looses power. In present day Nigeria and to the average Nigerian, the accusation of corruption has become a joke instead of the great crime that it should be. Corruption is not just a term to describe the theft of public funds by civil servants, and it should never be labelled as such. Corruption is Misuse of public funds, Misuse of authority, Plagiarism, Fraud of all types, Forging of documents, Propaganda to the detriment of the Nigerian Nation, Contributing in any way to the deterioration of the National peace, lack of patriotism, failure to instill in our children good moral codes, collaborating in any of the above named vices, etc. To me, if it is an immoral act, then it can be called corruption. The above described, is the state of the Nation. Corruption runs rampant in both the civil service and the private sector. From the husband who cheats on his wife to the politician who pockets the money meant for feeding children, none of the two crimes is greater than the other since they all started the same way, MORAL DECAY. Moral decay in Nigeria has been a growing tumor on the people’s conscience for decades now, it has gripped our children, youth and elders in its claws and seeks to drown us in its filth. It has always been a gradual slide that recently accelerated due to the present state of the economy. The current spate of unemployment forces people to compromise their morals just to live. We could spend days and weeks debating the effects and causes of corruption on this nation and not finish the first page, or we could spend all that time devoting our efforts to fixing this nation in whatever little way we can. SHALL WE DIE, JUST A LITTLE. |
