Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said, "corruption is the greatest bane of our society today". In my country Nigeria, the dishonest use of position or power to ones advantage is not new and it is the order of the day. According to Transparency International, Nigeria is the 33rd most corrupt country in the world. Corruption is found in every institution: political, military, traditional, judicial institution and so on. In Nigeria, taking bribes is now a common concept as fancy terms such as "appreciation" has been ascribed to it. Since, bribery and corruption lie cheek by jowl, you will hardly find one without the other. Although some people believe corruption cannot be totally eliminated, I am of the opposing opinion that with determination and diligence, corruption can be eliminated. The generally accepted causes of corruption are greed and ostentatious lifestyles but in Nigeria, these are not the major causes. In order to solve the problem, the major causes of corruption has to be removed. These include poor emoluments, absence of effective anti-corruption tools, lack of transparency in the public service, culture and acceptance of corruption by the populace, impunity etc. In a country where according to the National Bureau of Statistics about 100 million people are living below the poverty line of 1.25USD daily, where the leaders loot freely, where the anti-corruption tools act like toothless bulldogs, how will a culture of corruption not be given birth to? In my opinion, all these enabling factors must be removed to eliminate corruption. |
