Corruption has been rooted in us for so long that it can't be reshaped now. Greed is the core root of corruption which equally means that we all have our inbuilt corruption that is quiet exposed as soon as we come in contact with the catalyst. and what are the catalyst of corruptions? there are so many e.g power, money etc so we can't concluded one catalyst as the cause of corruption in any country.
Sometimes I wonder what are the odds and possibility that Nigeria itself can be a free from corruption and so many other problems that faces the nation as a country. The number one problem that is in this country is mainly corruption and when we say corruption, this one is has eaten deep into the heart of every man and woman in the country and that's because we Nigerians used and see every opportunity as a chance to get the other person.
I call Nigerians opportunist because of the environment which we find ourselves, being a Nigerian is quiet a whole lot of job where you have to be as smart as hell to survive. This smartness that is required has been shifted from ordinary smartness to greed, and from greed to corruption where we want every thing for ourselves not think of whether it hurts the next person.
Since we have suffered this situation for a long term it's has been seen as normal to be corrupt and if your not a corrupt mind you're against the people. I don't blame Nigerians for any of this stuff happening around us but each and every one is accountable for the rate of corruption. If we help ourselves to an extent then the government will try to copy the principles of the masses not to be corrupt too and hence Nigeria could be a better place. We can not start solving our problem from the top, we have to start from grass to grace so the masses have more work to do than the leaders.
Corruption is not good but where it's needed for survival then there is no option for us than to follow. But they say change begins with one so if I can change myself then my environment will learn from me and hence everyone will learn too.
