People dey always dey talk say power corrupt, power corrupt, yes most of us don talk am before, we dey think say na power dey corrupt person but the truth be say most of us already get corruption inside of us we only need the opportunity (power) to bring out the corruption in us. A man once said if you really want to know the person true self give him 3 things: Money, Power and Access to Sex. With this 3 things you can know any one true nature. So no be power dey corrupt, power only reveals corruption.
Yes you are right power only gives someone the opportunity to show his or her true color, person way they under person they always hide en true character in other to get favour from the person en they serve but when en get financial freedom and power he or she will bring out his or her true character because his not under anyone or begging for favour any more.
