Hello good evening to you reading this post, it's a great day yes it is, how are you all doing today? Hope your are good, I'm saying hi to this community #hivelearners, I'm saying a thank you for this topic, it seriously needs attention, the only problem is that all suggestions will just be mere wishes...
So to today's topic, I'll be talking about a topic in this Week's Featured Contents, week 09:- edition 03:-
Bribery and Corruption
There is no country in the world that does not suffer from this menace of bribery and corruption. So, tell us about how bad it has affected your country and what you think can be done to reduce it to the barest minimum.
This right here I fact, but as we know, the levels of corruption differs in countries, the level of the way this bribery and corruption are being controlled are different, I think you understand what I'm talking about...
So, as many if you that are from the same country as I am, we should know how great our country is, we know how great it is, the king if bribery and corruption...
How do I mean? Starting from the political officials, it has now turned to a culture, it's like my country political officials can't live without adding even a little corruption, they can even bribe an animal for their benefits, most especially when elections are drawing closer, it is then they will start eating foods like roasted corn on the road, or start doing brick layer works, or eating with kids, just doing thing that they don't do on a normal day, they even bribe citizens with little cash...
Even the community leaders are so corrupt that during the lock down, foods were sheared to different communities, but the community leaders will take more and let the less privilege citizen struggle to get nothing or less for feeding, they wanted all for them selves, without care, it is well oo.
Let look at the police, I was going on a journey one day when I saw a police officer on the road with POS to collect money from commercial drivers and even private drivers, most especially when they see a fine care and the person is young, they seem to tag the person to be a Yahoo boy, like it's now a crime to be young and rich in Nigeria, you can even be investigated just because of your too much money as a young person, and their major aim is that they want to taste out your money, maybe at all cost.
NOW let's even talk about our government workers, most especially the government teachers, as we should know, the government are supposed to be paying their workers but yet we still see them collecting extra from costumers or students, we still see students paying for text books, uniforms, and other entrance fees, when the are supposed to be free, corruption everywhere, let look at when we were doing this NIN, we know that this thing is supposed to be free at the governmental organizations, they'll tell us that it is free but we have to pay 20 naira for forms and another 20 naira pay for photocopy and then a hundred naira for lamination, in total, we should be talking about 140 naira which is equals to about 0.35 dollars or so...
Even in churches, mosques and even our personal lives, we see people looking and fighting for positions at all costs even if it means to bribery is involved for them to get that position, they'll grab that as an opportunity...
It's not like I'd we come clean, we won't get to that same place that we want to get to, but because of the rate of corruption in the country, infact, one of my teacher said that Nigeria can never be a better country unless we all die and one person is created again pure hearted; until then , we will still be draining in corruption.
I just think we should try to imitate other Developed countries on how matters like this are being solved, then we can creat other ways to solve our problems...
