Its better not to do a thing at all than to do a bad job. Do u think those standard buildings abroad are built just for building sake?:Do u also think that time is not taken to make sure that the buildings are well erected? One bad attitude of Nigerians is 'haste' we are in a hurry to get things done legal or illegal.....nunushokoto. dont deviate please.... if you're given a job by FG and about 3 ministries collect their so-called share from you, will you go back to FG and tell them you're ni longer working on the project after being paid?? or you can as well start a job you know you won't finish and later be chased be crimes agency for embezzlement |
Jarus:Babangida is seen by many to have presided over one of the most corrupt governments in Nigeria, however, unlike other regimes, no ministers of his regime were convicted/tried by the courts. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Babangida judges, please, my internet connectivity has become very poor, I may reply every one later than expected thanks |
Nunushokoto:what to do when the money will never complete the project and it need be delivered?? pseudonomer...... By accepting to give the share, the follower is also corrupt. yes, but as a result of the leader |
pseudonomer:When EFCC Cecilia Ibru, the then CEO of Oceanic Bank. She was said to have borrowed about a 100billion naira and then she was granted bail of 1.5billion naira. |
Nunushokoto:followers are to be blamed for bad roads?? poor airports?? after paying tax?? and I refuse to accept your claim, we all know of the bureaucracy in our country. You are given 100% to execute a particular contract, Ministry of A comes to collect his share, Ministry of B comes and probably ministry of C also, how much is left of the 100%, and since you have to execute the project, you go for substandard materials |

Miscellaneous:done!!! |
CORRUPTION IS A SOCIETAL EVIL CRIPPLING OUR COUNTRY NIGERIA; WHO TAKES THE MOST BLAME OUR LEADERS OR THE FOLLOWERS. Name: Barackodam School: ABU Zaria Stance: Leaders take the most blame. In order to have a vast understanding about the subject topic, permit me to enlighten you more about the keywords of this essay. Corruption: Dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. Crippling: causing something to become unable to walk or move properly. Leaders: The person who leads or commands a group, organization or country. Followers: An adherent or devotee of a particular cause, person, or activity. Now that we have an understanding of what this entails, let me start the essay proper. The regime of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, has been seen as the one that legalized corruption in Nigeria. His administration refused to give account of the gulf war wind fall, which has been estimated to be $12.4billion. He rigged the only successful the only election in the history of Nigeria in June 12 1993. He lives in a very exquisite mansion in his home state, Niger, in the northern part of the country. The death of General Sani Abacha revealed the global nature of graft. French investigations of bribes paid to government officials to ease the award of gas plant construction in Nigeria revealed the global level of official graft in the country. The investigations led to the freezing of accounts containing about $100million. In 2000, two years after his death, a Swiss Bank commission report indicted Swiss Banks for failing to follow compliance process in allowing family and friends of Abacha access to accounts. The same year a total of more than $1billion were found in various accounts throughout Europe. Yet, we intend to blame followers for corruption, these men were both Commanders in Chief of Armed Forces. In terms of infrastructure, series of avoidable deaths have occurred in the past. They range from road accidents due to bad roads, air mishap due to lack of proper regulation, among others. Nigerians, wallowing in poverty should be held responsible for that? Do we award contracts or construct roads? Are we National Airspace Management Agency(NAMA) to know if planes are in good conditions to fly? There is absolutely no hope for development without infrastructure, so who do we blame? Are the followers the ones implementing poor projects or the ones launching them? Indeed, Nigerians are not corrupt but our leaders are. If Nigerian leaders keep our national values and make our laws potent, Nigerians will be forced to do what is right. It is often surprising that whenever Nigerians travel overseas, they comply and abide by all laws and regulations over there, but when they are back home in Nigeria, they continue disobeying the law. This is more so because the leadership in those countries do not joke with their own laws whereas Nigerian leaders trample upon their own. Also, acts of the followers depends on the leaders themselves. If the leader is corrupt free and he enforces it on his followers they definitely will change for good. Let us take a look at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) under the leadership of Nuhu Ribadu and the EFCC of now. Is the difference not so obvious? The EFCC of Ribadu had vision, while he led, his followers saw it and worked with him to achieve it. Take out Ribadu,the leadership and we can all see the difference. We say followers are to be blamed, yet institutions that are meant to fight corruption statutorily are themselves corrupt. The malfeasance of corruption is so endemic that graft fighting bodies such as EFCC, ICPC, and CCB have become toothless bulldogs as their ranks and file have been weakened. Even the so called human rights activists, Labour Unions, Civil Society Organizations among others that profess to be fighting for the masses are ironically infested with corruption. Human Rights crusaders and professionals such as lawyers, journalists and academics get to political offices only to spit on the cause they fought for during their days in human rights activism. Let us not forget, we have laws that guide us, our conduct and our behavior, in a country like ours, when the leaders who are meant to enforce the laws refuses to, are we to blame the followers for not enforcing law and order or blame a citizen for giving bribe when the officer himself knows that attempting to give bribe is a punishable offence by law but still collects it?. An audio tape was released of an alleged rigging of the Ekiti state 2014 elections, yet statement was supposedly released by the presidency that it would not investigate it, claiming the tape was forged. We also heard the case of the then aviation minister, Mrs. Stella Oduah who, allegedly bought bullet proof cars worth over 200million naira, yet the presidency did nothing about it till 3 months after the supposed incident before she was relieved of her duty. The Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) then governor, had said $20billion was missing from NNPC audit account nothing was done about it till date, instead, the President GCFR sacked the governor when he had no constitutional right whatsoever to do so. Who are we to blame for all these? is it we the followers of which many have no iota of an idea about what is happening? I can go on and on giving reasons why our leaders are meant to be blamed but will like to stop here due to time factor. I would also like to end this with q popular saying that "With a rotten head, the body can not function properly, however with a good head, the body is left with no other choice than to perform" THANK YOU REFERENCES Google definition http://m.thenigerianvoice.com/news/96089/1/why-blame-nigerians-and-not-government-by-anthony-.html http://www.punchng.com/opinion/letters/nigerians-are-not-to-blame/ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Nigeria http://www.ifeadebayo.com/who-is-blame-nigerians-or-our-leaders/ |
