Dr Godwin Akpan Amaowoh True Words on Marble



"The so called fight against corruption in Nigeria by successive governments will not be successful until our leaders at all levels lead by positive example, Tupocracy. Corruption is the root cause of Nigeria's backwardness. Tell me which of the current political office seekers who is not corrupt? Can anyone among them be bold enough to tackle this menace with a clear conscience for Nigeria to move forward? Tupocracy in our Democracy is the answer."

"Our clamour for restructuring and zoning of political offices is good, but none of these, if achieved, will bring satisfaction until we have patriotic and tupocratic leaders who understand what leadership is all about, which is national development wherein citizens have equal opportunity to access the wealth of the nation, enjoy peace, security, good health care facilities, quality education, infrastructure, stable and enough power supply, potable water supply, and respect for fundamental human rights. Let's pray for Nigeria to have such leaders."

"Corruption manifests itself in embezzlement of public funds, fraudulent practices in governance, inflation of the prices of contracts to receive kickbacks, awarding contracts to cronies, injustice and uneven distribution of retributions for similar offences committed by different people, buying and selling of votes, examination malpractice, giving and collection of bribes in cash or kind, demanding and collecting gratifications for employment or award of contracts, nepotism and favouritism, deliberately condoning corrupt practices because of who is involved, extortion by security and law enforcement agencies, abuse of fundamental human rights of people, lack of integrity and transparency in governance, certificate forgeries, lying, false age declaration, non-payment of salaries of workers in time, and other conducts and speeches which are regarded among civilized people as immoral and unethical among leaders and followers. Let all of us, and Nigerian leaders in particular, take up the arms against these corrupt practices for the 62 year old nation to rise up, walk and work as a nation by embracing tupocracy, leadership by example."

"God may decide to raise up a Jerry Rawlings or another Jehu as in the Bible to clean up the mess for Nigeria and Nigerians to heave a sigh of relief. Sanity and rectitude in governance begin with the people, the electorate in a Democracy, who won't compromise their votes for the sake of temporary pecuniary motives. Corruption can be eradicated if the electorate resists vote trading and choose men of integrity for various offices. Our corrupt politicians buy offices from the electorate after which they recoup their expenses as profits by all corrupt practices. So far, which of our leaders has ever been bold enough to say , "Follow my example in transparency, patriotism, integrity and other virtues which are essential to nation building?" Let integrity and decorum through tupocracy characterize our electoral system at all levels so that men of integrity will participate in the system for a better Nigeria."

POLITICS IS NOT A DIRTY GAME

"Politics is not a dirty game as it is erroneously branded in Nigeria, where dirty and unscrupulous people have made it dirty with corruption. Politics is the art and science of governance to bring about national development. Let us sanctify our politics by removing from it rigging of elections, thuggery, buying and selling of votes, assassinations, high cost of buying nomination forms, denigration of political opponents, seeking to win elections at all unethical costs, marginalization of the minorities, ethnic and religious chauvinism which does not seek to protect other people's interests, snatching of ballot boxes, godfathers sponsoring candidates who will be making financial returns to them as well as using political offices for financial enrichment at the expense of the masses and national development. Tupocracy will clean up the inherent mess in Nigeria's Democracy if embraced by everyone."

Happy 62nd Independence Anniversary.
