The insanity of corruption
<p>You might be wondering why that topic. </p><p>Yes, the level of corruption is now very insane, very unbelievable. </p><p>I was in a taxi yesterday, and we got to a checkpoint. A passenger had some load at the back and the driver was directed to stop for a check but guess what—he just stretched out his hand to bribe the police, and he was allowed to go. </p><p>Do you know how much he used to free himself from being checked? Imagine there was a human head at the back of the car? Do you know how much would have been paid over the head of that person? How much to escape apprehension and judgment? </p><p>I'll tell you... <strong>₦200</strong>. </p><p>Yes, you read that right—<em>₦...2...0...0</em>. Two hundred Nigerian naira. That was how much it would have taken to buy freedom. </p><p>Now, this is beyond the security officers not being paid; it is now greed, greed on a whole new level because what exactly does ₦200 want to buy? I mean, it can't even buy one bag of water, even. It is just <em>₦200</em> that could cost the lives of all the citizens of a whole country. Because imagine someone coming into a country with a weapon strong enough to wipe out every single person in that country—with ₦200, they'll sell the lives of the citizens. </p><p>Ahhh. </p><p>Is it only me that is seeing this danger ni? </p><p>And there we go, complaining about the leadership. Are those leaders not also humans, citizens, brothers, sisters, family to us? Did they not come from us? So why complain? What we need to do now is to start working on ourselves, our brothers, sisters, friends, and family. We need to bring integrity into everyone around us. Be conscious of every wrong move and correct that brother of yours no matter how small and unserious that situation looks. </p><p>The change begins with us. </p><p>Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.</p><p>Thank you for reading.</p>
