Olajide Abiola posted: Our social attitudes breeds corruption

"He was minister for 4 years. What does he have to show for it?"
"She was special adviser to the governor for 5 years and she doesn't even have a house of her own"
"How many people did he even help while he was commissioner?"
These are the type of statements that reflect our attitudinal support and encouragement of corruption. It is out collective expectation that former public office holders must leave office materially richer. If they don't, they're a disappointment to self and community.
We expect public office holders to use their positions to our personal and material advantage because of our relationship with them. Failure to do so makes them failures and rejects.
We actively and passively contribute to and encourage corrupt practices in more ways than we are ready to admit. Majority of Nigerians do not see public officer or service as sacrifice of stewardship but as a ticket to effortless opulence and material enrichment."
