Government talks about corruption, the people talk about corruption & the constitution forbids corruption. It is the center of discussion during elections & politicians run on the platform of eliminating it. Yet, corruption persists, it steers us in the face. At school with teachers and administrators who play the game of favoritism, at places of worship with dishonest spiritual leaders who amass wealth, mis-interpret the holy books and incite the populace with detrimental ideologies to the poverty and backwardness of their followers. At the market place, with dishonest traders who sell fake products, set unreasonable profit margins on goods upon which our very existence thrives. At political rallies with politicians, who keep lying with their mouths wide open and their hearts closed. In our communities with leaders who are tribalistic, egocentric and sentimental to our collective downfall.
This corruption confronts us when we meet with policemen on the highway. It is evident on our streets. It's stench is visible in our policies the more we condemn it the bigger it grows. Where does this thing reside? Who is powering it? Are we really serious about eliminating it? If we all agree that it's a bad thing, how come it's still with us? When we are angry, those who profit from this corruption machine tell us are not patients. Our leaders say we don't see the clear picture, that their thinking and way of doing things is good for us, that their policies will benefit us in the long run..... Long run?? There can't be any long run when the short run is not clearly marked. When provisions are not made for the short run, when the long run arrives we will by then be all gone. Then who will those policies benefit?
Let the people arise and speak. Speak, for it is your fundamental human right to express your opinion. Do not be silent, because if you are, only you will go to bed without food in your stomach, shelter over your head and clothing to cover your unclothedness. All men are created equal but not all men die equal. Before you die, ensure you have lived having said what's on your mind.
God Bless the Federal republic of Nigeria.
