In every nations this set of people is certainly there, many people work for years and gather experience, become exposed to politics and leadership, admire positions and opportunities to rule, if finally by virtue of elections you're vote into an office they assume a legal rights to steal and loot public funds,
They same person who was once working with all Obedience to serve their boss, will in a long run forget the past and pursuits selfish interest, I don't know if leadership automatically baptize one into corruption in some Africa nations and other part of the world using lobby as an approach to stealing public funds. But can nation like Nigeria that is so much with corruption fought corruption? Since the supposed leaders who was supposed to fight corruption are involved?

There is a big differences between a habit that someone learn and a character that someone have within me, no one is saint, but people are just looking for a great and big opportunity to display that. Forget about Nigeria or African countries, other countries also faces the challenges, problems and difficulties that the Nigerians are facing. Corruption is in everywhere. Being an employee is different from being a leader. When some people are into politics and they become a politician, and most especially a leader, they feel superior. They usually develop that habit of ignoring, and looking down on the poor. I knew that Nigerians are suffering from insecurity, but It quite unfortunate and unfair that the leaders are not directly paying attention to the cries of the citizens.

If you think your own country is in bad condition because of these people, rest assured that others are no different. All politicians make grand promises until they're elected, but once they've secured that seat, they do things that will enrich themselves and their inner circles. Most of the time, the people don't matter to any of them. It's not just in Africa, many countries governed in the name of democracy face similar problems. When the law isn't strong enough or when those who enforce it aren't fair enough, these kinds of problems arise. Maybe corruption is worse in your country, but that doesn't change the fact that it exists elsewhere as well.
I wish there were a solution to this, but it doesn't seem like there is. Wherever there are people, these things happen.

Electing out bad government is the only way out from corruption but Nigeria case is different because elections are been rigged which makes the voice of the people silent and their votes useless. The judiciary that's the hope of the common man has been a weapon that is used to fight these common citizens that their interest should be protected. The whole system is corrupt in Nigeria and that's why nothing is working to comb corruption.

Corruption will never end and there is no way we can fight against it in a country like that you mentioned because every leader is corruption, the INEC is also a corrupt organisation that is why even if the citizens vote it will always be seen as a waste of energy, how many time will the citizens want to fight against the bad government and they succeed? We have seen that happening in many countries and they succeed but in Nigeria it looks like the government has power over everything and when they say anything, that is what will happen and no one can go against it.

Most of the politicians are the typical politicians that gives promises during campaign days and then when elected, they're changing their coarse and far from what they have campaigned for. But, there are the few who are sticking to their promises and are real politicians who are needed by the people, and are for the people. The only solution to this is to vote wisely and know first who are we electing as the sitting officials. If they have a bad history and background, ignore them already while people change but in the part of public service, it's a different matter especially when they get access to public funds.

Corruption is the operating system. You do not kneel before anybody to come in here. You get a machine mid-cycle, from your grandfather's grandfather. Once standing inside, there is no choice but to pull one of the levers. Not specifically an African thing, though, by any means. Structural mechanics is the same everywhere. The distinction lies in the fact that the extraction is apparent and that there is a legal framework in place to camouflage it as respectable.

In a post-colonial economy, what is a political office? If the wealth is in a single tap and the state is the owner of the tap, those who have office have the handle. Leadership, in that arrangement, is a footnote to plumbing. All the incentives are heading in the same direction, and people are reading the signs correctly. Public office turned out to be the most lucrative career to obtain and of course, it became full. A flaw is simply a feature that awaits someone with less to lose than you to show them. So far, nobody with less to lose has the handle.
