Where Corruption Actually Lies



In the world today at large politic is the game that determine the Government. In the entire World be it a presidential, monarch or democratic system there is always politics involved. As I will define for there to be a head of state, there most be an election and for there to be an election there most be political parties participating. Now this is well politics and corruption come into agreement.
In African countries like Nigeria, Ghana and all other countries corruption is loudly pronounced while in European countries like United states of America, Germany and others corruption is always silenced this is while corruption to me is not only an act showing politicians giving out money for votes, or Government workers stealing public funds rather it also involve everything that is illegal be it said on the news or in radio stations or silenced.
There is a point we are always not checking out. Why is it that many people in the western world become richer everyday and the poor become poorer everyday. Its definitely because of the activities going on which are not being said in the news or newspapers. Where did corruption actually originate from I will say it started right from when humans could differentiate between political point of view and what is good for the people.
Nigerians today suffer from a stigma of corruption due to illegal acts performed during an election or public funds. Now lets get realistic how many humans today would pay you to serve you if there is no profit? . Most of the times politicians are said to be corrupted and also embezzle money what else did you expect when Nigerians were busy collecting money to cast  a vote forgetting there is an incomplete project that needs to be completed, forgetting there is a need for a university in you state. Now you see the actual problem faced by a country due to corruption is not mainly based on the politics but on the people.
The Nigerian 2015 election was regard as free and  fair. Was it really? Millions were spent to get votes, millions were spent on campaign, millions were spent on media. Where did this money come from is it not from the same government, Many politicians go for bank loans, don’t we think they will have to pay back?. In western countries corruption exist but in a more under worked and silenced manner. In the US a presidential Candidate trials to convince you not with money but with words of trust. Is that same in Africa?. Africa is one of the richest countries when it comes to Natural Resource yet no Africa country is said to be developed.
Corruption in the world today is now a daily game played twice in each sentenced made by humans, In the near future it might even be legal and added to the constitution of countries in the world why because individuals has taken politics as a dirty game, and has sold their votes for money. Are we developing or we are demolishing. Politics is for all, its for the Nation, its for you and I. Years past legends fought against it and they conquered so pick up that same fight for your vote and for you Nation
Politicians are not corrupt, The Government is not corrupt. The people are the ones corrupt. That’s why Abraham Lincoln defined democracy as a government of the people, For the people and most important by the people.
