<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">In Nigeria today, corruption plays out in a variety of ways,
it perpetrates poverty; impeach economic growth, undermined #governance, deemed
the beam of development. While corruption is celebrated in Nigeria, else where,
the issue is totally different and repulsive. Corruption in Nigeria is
systematical and it permits every stratum of society through bribery or
administrative corruption, nepotism and appropriation of public fund. In
countries like France, India, Italy and United Kingdom, corrupt public office
holders incurred the rot of the people and those that fingers of accusation are
directed at are either forced to resign their position/position or they
voluntarily offered to resign. Such remorseful action on the part of public
officers is a aridity In Nigeria; partly because criminality is celebrated just
as integrity is usually dumped in trash cans.</span></h4>

<br />In the first and second republic, just as in the last decade
of democratic experience, corruption has been quite visible and articulated in
the political lazes to the extent that stealing or impropriety was not as
clearly classified as corruption. This not withstanding, it seems to be no
respite from the menace instead the cancer eats and it still eating deep into
the fabric of the political life to the extend that it almost incapacitate the
security agencies established as a watchdog. The anti-corruption agencies such
as The Independent Corrupt Practice Commission [ICPC], The Economic &
financial Crime Commission [<a href="https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjR2oXJu9jNAhXqAcAKHZTyDNQQFggdMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fefccnigeria.org%2F&usg=AFQjCNF3o903kA6sC9OEI8dhUyHlctCycw&sig2=SQ_Rc8KTzjxU8PXDFApq1w" style="text-indent: 0.5in;" target="_blank">EFCC</a><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">] & The Code of Conduct Bureau where
established with the view to reversing the decayed and the retardation within
the infrastructure of government and the society, in physical, social and human
terms appears to have emasculated. Though these agencies have to some extent
provided the editorial backbone in the fight against corruption, they seem to
be bored by allegations bordering on things of selectivity in their operation,
its however consoling that the Anti-Corruption agencies are making some efforts
to justify their establishment. For instance, the </span><a href="https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjR2oXJu9jNAhXqAcAKHZTyDNQQFggdMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fefccnigeria.org%2F&usg=AFQjCNF3o903kA6sC9OEI8dhUyHlctCycw&sig2=SQ_Rc8KTzjxU8PXDFApq1w" style="text-indent: 0.5in;" target="_blank">EFCC</a><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"> through it chairmen Mr.
Lamode last year disclosed that the commission is currently persecuting severed
high profile cases beside many other cases pending before the courts of law.
This indeed is a commendable feat given the fact that other sister
organizations such as Code of conduct and The Independent Corrupt Practices
Commission are doggedly committed to their duties. One issue has however
remained worrisome especially the period of time spent on agitation and other
outcomes. Obviously, the mere absence or lack of effective deterrent as well as
the slow tortoise legal professes are not only hindering the crusade against
corruption but are also creating suspicion, fear and anxiety in the minds of
the people. It’s indeed frustrating and irritating to note that cases involving
politically exposed persons filed many years ago are still pending  or haven’t been diligently prosecuted and
some of the suspects are seen everywhere flaunting their illicit wealth.
Naturally, it’s expected that if such suspected corrupt public officers are not
confined, they should diligently be denied or not offered the opportunities for
them not using  such wealth to influence
decision in the society to their own further advantage.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
 Nigeria’s legal system has several
loop-holes that make it difficult if not impossible to cub corruption because
of these social wrongs gradually becoming a way of life in our society.
Specifically, Nigerians seems to have constantly validated the practice of
giving and accepting bribes and other corruptible incentives such as <i>kola</i> <i>nu</i>t
in appreciation or participation of a favor as acceptable norms. Today, many
public officers and functionaries performing oversight functions are heavily
induced so also are states’ chief executives who are offered or flattered with
chieftain title and food items for doing what’s expected of them during their
political tenor in office. In this regard, one would call on our security
agencies especially the intelligence units to become pre-active in their duties
and training with the view to contain the rampaging criminality in our country.
For a menace to be abridged, advocacy against corruption and good examples
should be the best starting point to deal with the hydra headed <span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">MONSTER CALLED
CORRUPTION.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Nigeria like most developing
nations is on the process of self discovery and she is a work in progress; one
thing we should never forget or contemplate at this point is to continue to
work on our flaws toward corruption.</h4>

<br />If the country if to make progress on the economic and
political growth, we must form the culture of zero tolerance for corruption it
must be promoted at all level of the society. It is gratifying to note that the
President Muhamadu Buhari’s administration has recovered a number of looted
public funds (though no account). If indeed the present administration is
desirous of terming corruption in our public live, there is need to strengthen
relevant institutions such as the judiciary and allied agencies dealing with
corruption, to achieve this, we must develop active social conscience so that
we can expose doers of evil wherever they are found. Problems of unemployment
and insecurity will not disappear no matter how much we pray if we fail to term
the virus called corruption.<br />It’s generally known that corruption in whatever
manifestation has been a major developmental challenge in Nigeria for a long
time now, according to statistics, most Nigerians, regardless of religious or
tribal connotations, consider the fight against corruption as the country’s
topmost priority in view of it validating negative effect on the nation and it
people. From one administration to another both civilian and military, the
scorch of corruption has continued to challenge our existence with little or no
success on the fight against this MONSTER.</h4>

<br />Most of the societal ills the country have been facing
including the insurgency in some part of the country can be traced partly to
the lithely of corruption in the country over the years.<br />THE WAY FORWARD===<br /><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
way forward should be for all Nigerians to undergo basic education foundation
(compulsory), government of all forms should put a stop to this sorting (bribe
in schools) and create vocational skills centers for those that may not like
education. Government should reduce the high charges of fees in schools, try to
discourage private schools, carryout empowerment programs, revisit the
agricultural sector and stop fighting pass politicians in the name of fighting
corruption and learn to be transparent in our endeavors.     </span></h4>
