RE: Steem alive presents prowritershub-w5:bribery and corruption -how they affect our society today by @ogwo.
Good morning @ogwo you are welcome back. I met you on time so don't tell me that what you brought us has finished. Keep mine for me.I can see that you are fired up now. Since yesterday you are firing on all cillinders. Jisike. Keep it up. Yes it is corruption that is threatening the world today. It is a global problem but Nigeria's own has no comparison. In one of my reactions I suggested that death sentence be made the punishment for corruption. Yes, my country has laws against it such as the ICPC Act, EFCC Act and the Criminal/Penal Codes but they contain no provisions for death sentence but rather mere fines, light sentences or surrendering of the proceeds of the crime and being set free through plea bargain where the created such window. If you are conversant with the news in recent time you would have heard that almost all the Nigerian Governors who were tried convicted and sentenced to prison terms for corruption offence have all regained their freedom. Because it is already in the news I can mention names like OUK, Joshua Dariye etc. It was even reported that the latter is nursing ambition to return to the Senate and it's people that will vote him not devils. Can you imagine that happening in China or one the Korea Republics. Never. He would have long been dead. The one time Governor of Bayelsa State, Late DSP Alameisegha received full pardon also. In Delta State, an ex-Governor who served his time in London prison was celebrated as a hero upon his return to Nigeria by his constituents whereas in some countries where there is really zero tolerance for corruption he would have been executed. Therefore, corruption has continued because we have done nothing serious to curb it in my country. We don't see it as serious crime. Corruption is as bad as murder. The people must reject it and reject leaders who are corrupt. The law should be enforced vigorously. As it stands today the laws are mere paper tigers. The areas that needed to be ammended should be ammended. I thank you for this beautiful post. Happy Sunday.
Wow dear,thank you for the words.
As corruption is really bad and is filled in the eyes of many people here in the country.
You have made a very nice,lengthy and good comment.
Thanks for coming through.
Corruption is a huge problem in many countries, but the most corrupt country in the world is Venezuela. Venezuela has become a hot spot for bribery because of their oil reserves and because they are so rich. Venezuela has corruption levels that are on par with countries like Russia and China.
Corruption is a big problem in many countries. It can take many forms and be found in many different industries. In some countries, it is not just bribery that causes corruption, but also nepotism and cronyism. These practices are often used to gain an unfair advantage or to keep power within the family. People who have been affected by corruption may feel powerless and discouraged from speaking out about it.
