Description:
Who should be held responsible for the Corruption in Nigeria's governance? For your mind to be librated you must have access to information, information is power, the truth the way and the light. The truth lies in our history and cultural heritage. The deficit of the present day Nigeria can be traced back to our history for that is our identity, without knowing what has happened in the past we won't know where we are going. Today I am setting the tone for the conversation. A child as young as 5 years old knows that Nigeria is corrupt. But what happened? Now let's tell a story. CORRUPTION is not a geographical specific act, corruption is a world global issue, lets come down home as a way of domestication where did we start it all wrong? you would agree with me that corruption has being in existence in Nigeria setting From the pre colonial era, but the inversion of the British into her system make it worst. Corruption in Nigeria is therefore foundational.
