The answer remains yes. Corruption in the context used here, the Nigerian situation has no two answers to that. Meanwhile every corrupt act leads to the death of someone, either directly or indirectly. It can always be traced. From the topic, placing corruption along side Crime and terrorism i believe was intentional and not in any way an error, this proves to the effect that the corruption referred to is not the "small corruption" but those which are of serious effect to both the Nation and Individuals. The sort of Arms deal corruption, the corruption of diverting funds for internally displaced persons to private pocket, the corruption of sharing loot, that of wrecking the countries treasury in the name of election campaign, and its like....

Thank you.

@horlapelumi, a nice argument you have presented herewithal. The following line of conclusion gets me inquisitive though:

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in His image”._
Genesis 9:6.

1. I'm going to ask the same question I threw to your partner. Going by the above biblical verse, does the convicted individual who didn't spill any blood deserve a slap on the wrist?

2. Still going by the biblical citation above, I think there is an ironical paradox here (or a paradoxical irony); isn't it against the 'law' of the Bible to shed the blood of someone who shed another's blood? I sincerely hope you get my confused perspective.

@Timidelaw, thank you for your argument. However, do you agree that a corrupt individual whose action has not led to the death of another should be sentenced to death?

Present.

They don't appear funny to me.

Well, for those of you who didn't believe her, I'm afraid you guys are of an unbelieving nature. I really don't see any big deal in someone speaking on air.

I listened to the programme and she made some brilliant contributions to the issues discussed. I wonder why people would complicate this simple truth.

Where can't that happen? It's a paradox though. In Lagos, the coolest method can turn out to be the dumbest.

The word is 'Price', not 'Prize'.

Having taken the time to browse through the past debates, I think I now have a good drift of what is expected of me. I was initially nursing skepticism, but not anymore. However, I would like to know the actual date the debates (particularly the question-and-answer sessions) would commence in earnest.

Thanks.

As someone who writes, I believe you are aware that one can never grab 100% expressions at all times, no matter the country you come from.

In the case of Mr. Blaine Harden, he is not English man, he is America. Let us not make the mistake of thinking that everybody from America must know English like the British. That is never gonna happen.

You're getting it wrong, sir. It's not about British or American English. It's all about perfect grammatical expressions, considering his professional status (an American journalist). However, I'm surprised that you didn't find it appalling that he was trying to emasculate a tribe in Nigeria, you rather found my statement terrible.

ZUBY77:
Mr. Larry, i didn't expect the last two sentences from you.

Tell me, sir, what did you expect? And what's wrong with the last two sentences?

Fynestboi:
Please sir mail nairalandinterschooldebate@gmail.com
So as to get the protocols..

Okay, sir. Thanks.

I've checked out the home thread. I would love to determine what protocols to follow before getting to work.
