This is the million dollar question today!
Should associations be banned?

I noticed that ever since associations came into existence at the lower levels in Nigeria,corruption has increased.
Most of these associations were all good and were actually carrying out their legal duties and playing their statutory roles but after sometime,Politics entered these associations and they have lost their focus have now become evil machineries for the present set of Government and politicians in General.
Some top leaders in most of these associations are just gathering wealth and are not seeking for the interest of purpose for which these organizations were primarily set up.
It's a pity and these associations have now become tools for oppression and injustice to a certain section of the society at the expense of the majority.
Then life has become Soo difficult under such associations.
Their service has made people to become burdened and retrogressive than progressive.

There are some associations that are not needed to be set up initially .

Some have become income generators for the government and their dirty money .
Instead of being beneficial to the society,they only are useful to the government and for among themselves!!!!
Imposing on the society .
Most of them extort the masses and make life difficult for them.
Many market associations set up does not encourage low income earners to thrive and find wealth to survive.
It makes them suffer.

Let's take a look at some of this associations
NURTW -it has become a political tool for politiciains to cause havoc in the state during election time or after election when
