Danjuma827: and its not the fault of the followers because they were blindfolded by these leaders political propaganda. and it is the choice of the leader to be bad or good when he or she assumes office. So the leaders are to be blamed. They are blindfolded by the bribes. An example is that of Fayose in Ekiti State, why will a politician gained your votevwith 5 cups of rice. It is so shameful. |

Danjuma827: If you want real leadership then it must start from your immediate environment With the debate topic? We don't have to start another debate about who is leader and who is not. |

Danjuma827: My friend you are taking you mind to far from who a leader is.
Is your parent not your leader?
are you not a leader to your younger brother or sister?
is you pastor not a leader to you?
after you have agreed to these questions then I will tell you that parent who are leaders over their children do things that makes them to be corrupt. like cases of exam malpractice. From this, "Corruption is a societal evil crippling our country Nigeria; who takes the most blame our leaders or the followers?" If you have pick the leader like that, it means we can't debate the this because the first child of house is also a leader. |

barackodam: how many are righteous??
We know, but there are good followers who turn bad leaders That means we are all corrupt. If we want to fight corruption, it has to start from me and you(the followers). And this is the main problem facing the corruption, we the followers are not ready to become "un-corrupt" but we want the leaders to stop corruption. Do you know that fuel is still being sold N110 in most places? You want to blame the government for that too? |

Danjuma827: There are leaders even before you were born and there will still be leaders even when you have kicked the bucket. Most Leaders foster the activities of corrupt practices. you will certainly meet people that will rule over you so it depends on the rule if those people that will enable a follower to take over their footprint. We are talking of real leadership that affects the whole nation. You just don't get there. |

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 If I am allowed to answer this. If we the followers are scared of saying no to Corruption, how do we want the leaders to put an end to corruption. A good citizen that has integrity will say no to sharing, he will stand even if it is going to cost him the job contract. That is what a righteous man will do. |

Danjuma827: My friend any parent that pays money for a child to pass their exams are only fostering that child to exhibit more. Had it been that parent did not pay the money for their ward to pass their exams then I am definitely sure that the corrupt practices that child will exhibit will be minima. So every child knows that cheating is bad so does it give him the temerity to involve in such act?
you know that fire will burn your skin and your parent asked you do to so. will you do it? if you put your hand in it then you are on your own. and you will acquire the effect more. Good that you now agree with me, that the followers(Parents and students) take the most blame. |

You are funny, even my 7 years old nephew knows that cheating is wrong. And are you saying that parents that paid huge amount of money for their offspring to cheat their way to pass an exam doesn't know it is wrong? |

Danjuma827: 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. ASUU do protested, and strike for what is rightfully theirs and I think their voices were heard. |

Danjuma827: 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 Even so, the students and parents still takes the most blame. |

barackodam: 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 By accepting to give the share, the follower is also corrupt. |
Education › Re: Nairaland Interschool Debate Match Two :Abu Zaria vs Funaab WINNER: FUNAAB by pseudonomer: 8:20pm On Jun 07, 2015 |
barackodam:
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.
You have no claim, proof or supporting evidence to this. Or do you? |

Danjuma827: 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. 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? |

SCHOOL: FUNAAB
We the followers take the most blame in the corruption crippling our dear nation.
Where there is greed, there is corruption. Corruption means "the willingness to act dishonestly for money, etc". A friend of mine use to tell me that 90% of Nigerians will act corruptly if given the opportunity, even the ones that criticize the government the most. Take a look around you; your everyday activities, the people you meet, the deals you get involved in. The things you have seen or heard; ranging from policemen taking bribes, the market women that reduce the size of their measuring device to make extra profit, the lecturers that take bribes and, to the students that give it, the admission process in our tertiary institutions, the people that are in charge of contracts, employment, West Africa Examination Council "miracle" centres, oil subsidy scam, ghost workers, pension scam, and so on. Are we not worse than our leaders?
It has been said that it takes two to tango. One (the leaders) cannot carry out corruption without the support of others (the followers) which means it is impossible for the politicians to be corrupt all by themselves without the help of the civil servants. Let us take a look at our previous elections as a case study; I will say the followers take the most blame in electoral corruption. At our previous elections, most of this politicians aspiring for a top political post got businessmen and some civil servants to sponsor their election campaigns, this businessmen or civil servants (followers) will need the politician if elected to the political post to make some decisions to favour them in the business market, award unmerited contracts to them, or pay them in double back which will require the politician loot making him/her corrupt. We followers sell our rights by collecting bribes to vote some of these corrupt politicians. In fact, the followers are the ones pushing the leaders into corruption because if the followers refuse to be used as a means of exchange, it will almost be impossible for a leader to partake in corruption. But the civilians are greedy, and the root cause of corruption is greed and greed does not occur on its own; it takes humans to be greedy.
Let us take a look at this nairalander experience at the NYSC in his post, NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS: A SCHEME TO ELIMINATE IGNORANCE IN NIGERIA, I quote “...I was selected as the kitchen Head of Department and that day I got to know they level by which corruption had eaten deep into the nation. The staffs displayed a high level of greed that was beyond comprehension. In an environment where corpers were expected to feed well so as to meet up with the demand of continuous physical training, it was a shame that the sharing of food was seized by some staffs who took the double portions of foods and still amassed some to send to their respective homes. This left many corp members to sleep without food and with this many felt the government failed with respect to the provision of food on camp. To many Nigerians, the government is not living up to expectations but they are, in actual sense unaware that true corruption resides in the people of the grassroots."
A flashback of a scene at the University of Ibadan, the rule is a female student cannot spend a night at the male hostel, but unfortunately the hall warden caught a female student in my friend’s room, a disciplinary action is suppose to take place, but immediately the hall warden discovered it was this friend of mine, he died the matter. I asked him how come? You know what he told me? He said he has already bought his right. We (the followers) are scared to speak up against corruption, or challenge our leaders of being corrupt in real way. You what know why? We are part of the corruption. We have sold our right for bags of rice, some N1000, and so on. A bad follower will never make a good leader. Don’t you think the most blame is really on the followers?

"Since its introduction in UI four years ago, the percentage of withdrawal level has reduced drastically. In fact, post-UME test has a correlation with the general good performance at the under graduate level. Between year 2000 and 2008, the average first-class graduates we have is 63, but last year, (2009) being the year of the first set of post-UME candidates, we have 99 students graduating with first class. Isn’t that impressive? Cancellation of post-UME test cannot do us any good!" -Sunday Saanu of UI |
