CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA: A NATIONAL CULTURE Today I should be quoted for saying our land which shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the West, Chad and Cameroon in the East, Niger in the North and which coast lies in the gulf of Guinea in the South and being washed steadily by the mighty Atlantic is now the homeland of corruption and its extended family. Bribery has become the employer in the government sectors. Nepotism is now a consistent manager of private enterprises. Egocentrism is an efficient factor in identifying a true Nigerian. Extortion parades the street with confidence. Graft has its home in every states of the country while embezzlement and cronyism threads the boulevards majestically in classy attires. The arms of government are immersed in a deep cesspool of murky corruption. These immoral, illegal, ungodly and unethical acts passed from one administration to another as no administration was seen to have taken a sacred bath from the dirt of corruption. The Nigerian police force, political parties, National and state assemblies, Federal and state executive councils, Federal road safety commission and the Power Holding Company of Nigeria were recorded by the Nigeria survey and corruption survey study Final report in June 2003 as the worthy and consistent agents of corruption in Nigeria.
