This I don't agree with you cos most students are naive about the happenings in the society and they are only follow what they think is right. and that right might be socially wrong.

In my secondary school days we were taught about rights. We all have freedom of speech. If the followers are not comfortable with how the leaders are behaving,are they not support to refute and protest? Or do you want to tell me that the followers are not aware of these?
My co debater. Yes the follower have the right to protest. But are our voices heard? is the government ready to listen to the followers? the only place the followers function well to ensure an effective leadership is during the election.

so tell me how many protest have you made and the effect was made effectively? so I believe and you will believe with me that most followers just fold their hands simply because the leaders don't grant them the right to do so. and this will certainly create a wrong motive in the followers and they do will begin to believe that corruption is a normal norms.

To me, A leader in this debate is someone that holds a political post or has a political power. The principals you mentioned there is still regarded as a follower. And don't you think, the students and parents share the most blame in your case there. We all know the parents must have collided with the principal of the school to carry out the act of corruption, and the students are willingly to be involved. So tell me who takes the most blame? Is it the government or the parents, teachers and students?
Leaders are all round and all leaders in any society plays an important role for the society. so if you are a president you are still a leader to people and if you are a principal you are still a leader to your students so don't restrict yourself to one set of leaders

Topic: Corruption is a societal evil crippling our country Nigeria and Our leaders are to be blamed


Corruption is characterized by extreme immorality and dishonest exploitation of power or wealth for personal gains. Today, its modes are endless and exists in almost all spheres of the society and among all levels of authority. Gone are those days, when merit, ability, honesty and transparency, as I understand have meaning in Nigeria government. Things got worse when the cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigeria, known as corruption was the order of the day. It has actually been a vermin that has been discouraging Nigeria from having an effective development. This, has made us to have what I call, I-care-for-myself-leaders, who wallow in self adulation and sycophancy and are never tired of asking for more benefits. My name is Danjuma, a student of ABU Zaria and I am supporting the motion that States: corruption is a social evil crippling our country Nigeria and our leaders are to be blamed for it.


Leaders in our education sector, need more rebranding, because they are the first set of people that will build on the foundation of pupils and students in the society. In the year 2012 and 2014, 112000 and 145,795 WAEC May/June result were withheld respectively and the major cause of this, is as a result of leaders I.e. Principals engaging in corrupt practices in the examination hall, in the name of maintaining
the level and standard of the school. This alone can destroy the future of the pupils, making them to have a wrong impression on what Education is about. Some lecturers also give students, answers to examination questions just because they were cajoled to doing so. All these acts will make pupils and students think that the only way to have success is through corruption and this, will make their foundation to be in jeopardy.
Don't be surprise that these students and pupils will certainly carry on with such habits, when they finally become leaders of ministries, societies, organisations and the nation a large. Which will definitely will be a threat to a nation's development and growth.



Furthermore, some of our leaders squander,public funds that ought to be used for the development of the nation. There are many cases of missing funds here and there, yet the leaders that supposed to bring justice to these cases are the ones covering up the cases, because they are also involved in it. We can't expect moral uprightness, if our leaders behave like this. Yet, these people are paid millions for lazing away in the hollow chambers, passing bills that do not directly or indirectly put food on the table of hungry Nigerians. The vexatious part of it is that these politicians vaingloriously and ostentatiously flaunt their I'll gotten money, which definitely makes the poor to be tempted and tortured financially. This, will only make the poor to have the intention of partaking in corrupt practices when they eventually find themselves in power.


Former aviation minister, Mrs Stella Oduah bought two cars, worth 1.6 million dollars, yet the government were silent about it, a renounced government official disguised himself as a woman in order to travel out from this country just because he is been hunted by the EFCC, but was eventually caught in the act yet our government officials who were in power then, pardoned him for the act. Our Vice Senate President erected a building worth millions of naira and the money he used for it was generally known to be a proceed of embezzled government fund, yet the government were also silent about his case.Even to the extend that one of our ex-president was seen commissioning the building. It is painful that our leaders that ought to be change makers have failed us by refusing to take necessary steps in curbing all the fraudulent activities exhibited by these politicians. It will certainly make citizens believe that they will be pardoned and allowed to enjoy their ill-gotten money if they are given the chance to lead in any government parastatal they find themselves in the nearest future.


Furthermore, my utmost perception of our leaders has changed and their integrity is in question. Our leaders have succumed to politics of parochial sentimentalism and terrorist groups in Nigeria are having control of the nation, due to the fact that these leaders have hypnotised into accepting to make moves that will only foster their activities in the society. Amnesty is a good idea promulgated by the government, but the government are not helping matter by the introduction of scholarships to any individual that brings a weapon and proclaim that he is a militant. Most of them don't utilize this opportunity and they eventually become something else when they get abroad. This act by the government will attract dishonest people to partake in such benefit. This is one of the little problem that will certainly promote corruption in the country


Also, book haram are not left out in this. A terrorist group that have killed thousands of people and have destroyed properties worth billions of naira are allowed to operate freely . Even when evidences are so glaring, our leaders in authority are not doing enough in ensuring that prominent and well to do individuals who are promoting this act are justified. This certainly will increase the rate of corruption in our country and the corrupt leaders will even have the temerity to do more.


conclusively, I am urging Nigerians to make sure our power that is our vote count, whenever there is an election.So that we can use the chance to vote for people who will bring about an effective change to the country and we should use it to flush out those leaders that take irrational decision and also who are incompetent to be in office. I believe with this our act.There will be hope for Nigeria.

God Bless Nigeria

PoliticsNigerian Army Capable Of Routing Boko Haram, Says Buhari by Danjuma827(op): 2:13pm On Jun 04, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in
Niamey, Niger Republic, expressed confidence in
the ability of the Nigerian military to overcome
and eradicate Boko Haram.
Speaking at an interactive with newsmen after
talks with President Issoufou Mahamadou of
Niger, Buhari declared that the Nigerian Army,
which had earned a good reputation across the
world, remained a virile fighting force.
“I am four days in office today and we have
already started the process of ending the
insurgency,” the president said.
He said that in the course of the over five hours
meeting he held with heads of Nigeria’s Armed
Forces and Security Agencies on Wednesday,
ongoing operations against Boko Haram were
reviewed for better results.
Buhari said that because of the peculiarities of
terrorism, the movement of terrorists across
borders and the unconventional nature of the war
against terror, Nigeria would continue to seek the
support of neighbouring countries in its bid to
overcome Boko Haram.
The president said that his visit to Niger was to
seek more supports from the country in bringing
a quick end to the atrocities of Boko Haram.
The president said that he would hold similar
meetings on security and the war against
terrorism with the Chadian authorities after
leaving Niamey on Thursday.
He said that Nigeria would also require the
assistance of other nations and multi-lateral
institutions to rebuild areas adversely affected by
the Boko Haram insurgency and rehabilitate
displaced persons.
At the opening of bilateral talks between Nigeria
and Niger earlier, Buhari praised his host’s
contributions to the ongoing multi-national effort
against terrorism, insurgency and cross-border
crimes.
“Permit me also to acknowledge the consistency
with which the government and people of Niger
Republic have stood beside Nigeria under all
circumstances.
“I will like to convey the appreciation of Nigeria
for the sacrifices by Niger in the ongoing efforts
to counter the menace of the Boko Haram
insurgency.
“Niger Republic has over the years proved to be a
reliable ally to Nigeria both at bilateral and
multilateral levels.

“It is our hope and aspiration that this special
relationship will be further consolidated during
my administration.’’
According to Buhari, his administration will bring
new impetus and a renewed commitment to the
efforts to wipe out the menace of the Boko Haram
insurgents.
He added that as a first step, “we have directed
the relocation of the command post of the counter-
insurgency operations to Maiduguri until such a
time that the insurgency is completely defeated.’’
“Another issue of concern to us which is closely
associated with the insurgency in the region is the
influx of refugees and other displaced persons.
“We are aware that currently, there are over
150,000 displaced persons comprising refugees and
returnees taking refuge in various parts of Niger.
“Our administration will work closely with
governments of the affected States to continue to
provide humanitarian assistance to the displaced
persons and their host communities.
“The ultimate objective, however, remains to end
the insurgency and facilitate their return to their
homes,” Buhari said.
In his remarks, the President of Niger commended
Buhari for making Niger the first country he
would visit after his inauguration.
“Your decision to move the military command of
Nigeria to the North East has further
strengthened our conviction that the war against
terrorism will soon come to an end,” he told
president.
He gave the assurance that Niger would continue
to support Nigeria in the fight against Boko
Haram.

PoliticsBe Patience As The Task Of Building Nigeria Is An Arduous One: Buhari by Danjuma827(op): 1:11pm On Jun 04, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari advised Nigerins to
exercise patience because “the task of rebuilding
Nigeria is an arduous one.”
Meanwhile, the president said he would do all
within his powers to guarantee that they would
not regret trusting national responsibility to
him by electing him during the March 28
presidential poll.
Buhari stated that his government was capable
of fixing the nation’s problems.

He made the suggestion in an address he
delivered to members of the Nigerian
community in Niger during his visit to the
neighbour country.
A copy of his speech was made obtainable to
journalists in Abuja by his aide, Mallam Garba
Shehu.
President Buhari told Nigerians that his
administration was just coming on board and
was still in the procedure of setting out
suitable modalities on how to actualise its plan
of restoring Nigeria as contained in the
manifesto of the All Progressives Congress.
He stated that Nigerians voted for him based
on the party’s manifesto.
The president repeated his position that to
enable faster development, his government
would focus on problems of insecurity, near
economic collapse, widespread corruption and
power scarcity.
He said: “ I want to reassure (you) that we are
going to tackle these challenges head on.
“Nigerians will not regret that they have
entrusted national responsibility to us.
“We must not succumb to hopelessness and
defeatism. We can fix our problems.
“However, daunting as the task to surmount
these challenges may be, they are by no
means insurmountable.
“There is now a national consensus that our
chosen route to national development is
democracy. To achieve our objectives, we
must consciously work to improve the
democratic system.”


President Buhari also assured them that his
administration would be firm in ensuring that
the country’s recovered its desirable position
among the comity of nations.
Meanwhile, he said he wanted all Nigerians,
comprising those in the Diaspora, to partner
his government in order to realise the dream.
“ I want to conclude by urging you to continue
to remain law-abiding and to continue to be
good ambassadors of the country as we
embark on the journey of rebirth, development,
evolution and integration,” Buhari concluded.

PoliticsI Shall Be Happy To Do This: Fayose Writes Buhari. by Danjuma827(op): 9:51am On Jun 03, 2015
The governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has
said he will be happy to nominate a worthy
candidate for appointment in President
Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.
Fayose, in a statement on June 2, Tuesday,
called on Buhari to grant him the honour of
naming the minister that would come from
Ekiti state, Punch reports.

The governor said: “ I shall be happy to
nominate a worthy and competent
professional, who can always oblige Your
Excellency and your cabinet the benefit of a
second opinion in the serious business of
governance .”
According to him, he had already written to
the President on the matter and was awaiting
his reply which he hopes would be favourable

He explained that his letter was on the
strength of Section 147 sub (2) and (3) of the
1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, which states: (2) Any appointment to
the office of the Minister of the government of
the Federation shall, if the nomination of any
such person to such office is confirmed by the
Senate, be made by the President. (3) Any
appointment under sub-section (2) of this
section by the President shall be in conformity
with the provision of section 15 (3) of this
constitution provided that in giving effect to
the provision aforesaid, the President shall
appoint at least one Minister from each state,
who shall be an indigene of such state.
Fayose pointed out that Buhari had earlier
declared that he would put the overall interest
of the country above every other particularly
political partisanship and bias, hence his letter
to the president.
He cited the case of Olusegun Obasanjo and
Chief Bola Ige as example. According to him,
though Obasanjo was a member of the Peoples
Democratic Party, he appointed the late Ige,
who was a chief of the opposition Alliance for
Democracy, as the Minister for Justice.
Fayose, who was one of Buhari’s biggest
opponents in the run-up to the March
presidential election, said this in a statement
on Tuesday
