Fraud, misrepresentation and obstruction of justice are the problem we face. Graft and corruption remained a problem nine years after democracy .The senate goes largely undetected to harbour thieves in the senate. They have not cared to find out because they know who the thieves are. The names of these thieves are well known to all Nigerians. Do we need to talk about the chief presiding officers, whose nationality and foreign accounts makes mincemeat of any moral pretensions to any responsible office, or their deputy whose name found its way advertently into EFCC’s list of corrupt politicians? The senators need only to look in the mirror to see the thieves that Nigerians have known all along. With Nuhu Aliyu’s volte-face, Nigeria’s clamour to be rescued from the grip of elitist leeches has suffered yet another set back. With every such betrayal, Nigeria’s future is buried by installment. Nigeria is now a corpse that should relax and enjoy its eternal alliance with the coffin of corruption.
Again this time, reports that corruption is the root cause of the economic collapse in this nation and financial problems of some countries throughout the world is appearing boldly visible. It could come as fraud, bankruptcy fraud, bribery, insider trading, embezzlement, computer crime, medical crime, public corruption, identity theft, environmental crime, pension fund crime, RICO crimes, consumer fraud, occupational crime, securities fraud, financial fraud, and forgery is no longer prosecuted.
Sometimes, crime tends to be made up of complex, sophisticated, and relatively technical actions in disguise. It tends to be intermingled with legitimate behaviour. It comes with diffusing victimization. Harm is not always conceptualized or identifiable as such because it is usually spread out over a substantial number of victims. The monetary sums that are involved tend to be quite large as pictured from Patricia Etteh’s scandals. As the former Speaker in the Assembly of thieves! She approved over N628 million to renovate her house and that of the Deputy Speaker. I am not surprised at all! This woman was just following the footprints that she saw ahead of her. What more can we say about the thieves and illegitimate people that are ruling Nigeria?
The reason that the Nigerian government is as corrupt as it is is not because of ignorance, but because of apathy. Government officials are not being punished for stealing, embezzling, bribery, or anything else even though others know what is going on. For this reason, the majority of Nigerians live impoverished. Though Nigeria has technically been a democracy for 9 years now, the situation has not improved.
