Corruption is an endemic institutionalized problem in Nigeria because of the progressive weakening of state anti-graft institutions and brazen above the law empowerment of indicted persons by the state. Corruption has long been legalized.

Nigeria is so blessed that people have looted way beyond their needs and yet the country is still running...

It is time we start voting based on Character and not Religion.

To be honest, the northerners are fantastically corrupt.......and the most deprived region in the whole of Naija.
