Corruption in Nigeria

You cannot divorce corruption from millitary regime in Nigeria, it have started since in the sixty's when the military been moved by selfishness and greediness toppled the promising civilian government, since then they tried to justify their unjustifiable actions by saying that the reason why they toppled the civilian government is to make Nigerians more united.
But that is only a deception because what happens is the opposite because the military polarized Nigeria base on ethnic and religious lines the worst of it is that they made corruption to became a culture in Nigeria.
Out of selfishness and greediness the military started overthrowing the government of fellow military, as a result it lead to a civil war which caused the death of millions  and destruction of properties of unquantifiable amount.

At the end of the war the military continued ruling and institutionalizing corruption, public money became personal money. One of the weapons they used against the people is deception they used it to misled people.
They also use money and positions to buy the hearts and minds of the elites so that they would help them to decieve the mercies because many of them where uneducated and the rely on the elites for awareness, the masses where mostly uncivilized thereby  they can easily be misled as to the real State of affairs in the country.
When the military were pressurized by the international countries and bodies to leave power and go back to democracy, they retired and went into politics. The money they stole gave them an upper hand in the campaign, in so many cases they rig election where they cannot rig or buy vote they promised that when elected they would eradicate corruption and when they were elected they became the pioneer of corruption.
Any common Nigerian hate corruption even in reality he practice it. His anger on corruptions always grow because he knows it was corruption that makes him to become a slave in his own country and it makes him to support and respect who ever that would claim to fight corruption even if it was insincerely spoken.

Corruption have punished Nigerians because no good schools, no good school adminstration, lecturers have the power to demand for sex from female student and incase she failed to comply she risk failing her exams in the institution.

No good hospitals, when you go to the hospitals there are only few doctors regardless of the fact that the hospitals are few with too many patients waiting for consultation.

What makes the situation worse is that the doctors arrive at the time they want and go away the time they want with nobody calling them to order. The doctors claimed that their salary is too small and government have no intention of reviewing it that leave them with no option than to look for another work in the private clinic which makes them to be recieving double salaries.
