Nigerian Politics and Corruption

Nigerian Politics and Corruption

This book is both an analysis and a critical response to the menacing evil of corruption in politics that has continued to ravage the Nigerian polity since after her independence from Britain, which wittingly or unwittingly appears to have defiled solutions. Obviously, almost every government that has ruled Nigeria, appeared helpless in the face of a corruption that has assumed the dangerous status of a life style amongst the citizenry. Having watched in disbelief and absolute confusion the dwindling fortunes of Nigeria, and perturbed by the obvious consequences of the political calamity and imminent economic collapse that might be the possible results of this dreaded evil, the author was compelled by his moral conscience to proffer some solutions to the problem of corruption in Nigeria, and by extension to every other nook and cranny of the world where this evil reigns thick. Indeed, the approach employed in this book is holistic in order to get to the roots of this known enemy of progress and free society called corruption. This book speaks directly to the conscience of the Nigerians and at the same time, serves as an eye opener to those who misunderstand and misconstrue the travails of this great nation on the periphery of socio-political disaster.
