Eight reasons why the most corrupt Candidate will win this election By Etcetera

Article written by singer Etcetera

Call me whatever you want after seeing my
headline, but I very well know that within you,
there is an awareness that the corrupt candidate will win in today’s election, not the candidate who Lives by said morals. I have eight reasons for Saying so.

1. Because every voter in Nigeria has his/her
own hypothetical belief that most politicians
are corrupt and there is very little an idealist
politician can do to reform the system. So
what difference would it make anyway, even
if an idealist manages to win?

2. Because the administrative system in Nigeria
is outdated when it comes to having a
decentralised system for any public
information and this allows corrupt
politicians to play their game with much
ease. It means, rigging is sure to happen
today.

3. The corrupt politician knows how to get votes
from the poor – by gratitude. He gives you
what is yours by right, and collects your
votes in return. Like the insignificant
reduction in petroleum pump price.

4. The corrupt politicians fit well to complete
the vicious circle of our democracy. Didn’t
you all notice that in the campaign for
today’s election, top business and media
conglomerates in the country made
gargantuan financial contributions to the
campaign of one of the candidates, and in
return, they are assured of his assistance to
win their corporate game?

5. Politics in Nigeria works significantly on the
idea of personal interest first before
anything else, while unregulated power and
immunity clauses have made corruption an
addiction for the politicians.

6. As a country, Nigeria is suffering from the
lack of good/sincere men, which
fundamentally increases the probability of
corrupt men hanging onto power.

7. Given the current economic stats and a
stagnant GDP growth rate, Nigeria does not
have enough resources to fulfill the demands
of a future society which makes it rather
hard for the corruption to go anytime
sooner. It is a significant problem and the
problem is only going to get worse, and the
social differences highlighted in the runoff of
today’s election won’t help matters.

8. Corruption in Nigeria works like an
organised crime – where profits are justly
divided among the partakers and members of
our dead police force do not only fail to fight
it but rather take part in it and their excuse
have always been their low salaries.
Mark my words here, whoever wins today’s
election, corruption remains the same. Our
national food is bribe and we really enjoy eating
it.
