[color=#000030] For the end of year celebration, We had a love feast/exchange of gifts in church on Sunday(obviously). Names for gifts were picked at random. We had to first give our gifts to our vice president unwrapped. Her idea.:/ :/ I don't know why we couldn't just wrap the gifts ourselves and give them to whomever we picked.
That's by the way. When I went to give her mine for the guy I picked, she said it wasn't good enough, it won't be appreciated by the guy, Like it wasn't what I should get for a guy. Now tell me, when did this type of gift become based on sex. (gender I mean, not intercourse) ? Besides it's a gift, Meant to be a suprise. After listening to few more comments about my gift, I gave her the wrapping sheet.
During the exchange of gifts, I was suprised when the guy I picked was given another wrapped gift bigger than what I had given. Then it dawned on me, the V.P had actually changed everybody's gift herself. Like she'll give you a gift based on the kinda gift you give to someone and not necessarily the one the person who picked you brought. :/ Ha! All those who thought it was like lotto where they could wrap a pen for someone and get an aeroplane in return didn't see this coming. I didn't. I received a perfume. Hmmm. This is the end of this entry and I know you are waiting to read the gift I bought for the guy. Forget it. This post is not about the unsuitable gift or what not. (She has succeeded in making me feel the gift I collected money to buy wasn't worth it. Forgive me if I feel ashamed to spill) It's about why she didn't just let us exchange the gifts ourselves without all the fbi investigation. Now I'm wondering what the person who received my gift must have brought to deserve that? Not that it's bad though. I know I'm channeling this complaint to the wrong person but I've got no choice. Live and let live.

School is going for Christmas break on Friday. I really can't wait to leave. A break from this hostel environment is always welcome . Bad thing is, I'm gonna miss this year's calabar carnival. I missed the dry run too so how bad can it get.
I met a diarylander last week. Victoriousvic, it was really a pleasure meeting you. [/color]

There are several problems in Nigeria today. Some are in a sphere it's own, others give rise to other problems, while other problems are issues that could have easily been averted if things were in the right order. Despite the fact that each problem seems too big to be considered minor, the mother of all problems in Nigeria is too big to be called Major. That is Corruption. The root of many of
Nigeria’s problems.
Most major problems in Nigeria like
Insecurity, Crime and terrorism, specifically Boko Haram insurgency,
Poor Education and university system
Strikes
Unemployment
Poor health Facilities
Embezzlement of public funds
Lack of Infrastructure etc
are directly or indirectly tied down or linked to Corruption.

'How?' We may ask. It's a fact in our Nigeria today that corruption goes beyond the use of power by government officials for illegitimate private gain.
The forms of corruption may vary, but include bribery , extortion, nepotism, tribalism, misuse of government power for other activities and embezzlement.
Now how does corruption operate?
Stereotypes of corruption are passed from parents to children. An average Nigerian child understands why connection, influence and ethnic ties work faster than merit. Sorting is also the in thing. Schools are abandoned with poor facilities and therefore churn out half-baked graduates who go into a failed economy and depend on corrupt means to survive. The circle is vicious. Another case of this corruption is ethnicity called tribalism in Nigeria. Kinsmen seeking favor from officials in place of other worthy applicants. Corruption in public administration results in the inefficient provision of services. This leads to citizen's poor standard of living thereby indirectly encouraging social vices such as armed robbery, prostitution, child trafficking etc.
It is now dawning on the Nigerian public that the so-called private enterprise and legislators are free from scrutiny, and governors claim to be immune yet they are the thresholds of this vice.

Having identified and accessed the problems of corruption in Nigeria, we shall now describe a practical, feasible solution and methods of improvement to the cankerworm that has eaten deep into the Nigerian society.
*The first step is to improve the Roles of Law Enforcement agencies in Combating Corruption. These are the ICPC, EFCC and the code of conduct bureau. An autonomy should be created which gives them security to handle corruption cases. Officials in these agencies should have security of office and better working conditions to enable them do their job effectively without bias or fear of threat.
Before these agencies can fully function, there should be an enforcement of anti-corruption laws which should be strictly adhered to. Anti corruption policies should be made. Policies like Buhari's War against Indiscipline(WAI) which prosecuted several corrupt officials should be welcome.
*Another step to improvement is that emphasis should be placed on transparency, integrity, and accountability in all private and public organizations. There should be a kind of incentive where people who act against any form of corruption are rewarded and penalties for those who aid and abet corrupt practices.
*There should also be reformation and re-orientation of the minds of Nigerians, for them to see that corruption is the enemy of development.
* Another means to curb this corruption is by implementing laws which have capital punishment stipulated for guilty leaders who are the root of this corruption. Public officials as well as governors of states should be made to declare their assets publicly. This will enable justice to be served should there be a monstrous increment in their wealth without credible reasons as to why such increase happen.
*They'd be rules curtailing our leaders for training their wards overseas or seeking foreign help overseas when they're sick. This will help them focus on improving our health sector. There should be accountability of public funds. If this was highly practised, the petroleum bill wouldn't have been pushed under the carpet.
Auditors should be employed to make all corporations account for public funds. Our electric bills should show their accountability in power supply. The tertiary trust fund should be shown in highly subsidized fees. Contracts awarded should be shown in the projects constructed.
This essay is to show us how corruption has eaten deep into the Nigerian society and the means of curbing them.
