Three Reasons Why Nigeria is Corrupt and Poor



Three Reasons Why Nigeria is Corrupt and Poor

1. Majority of Nigerians do not fear God.


2. Selfishness and wickedness powered by greed have made majority of Nigerians to disobey and flout one of the most important laws of God which is to love your neighbour as yourself. But majority of Nigerians who confess and profess to be "Christians" and "Muslims" have chosen and preferred to CHEAT and COMPETE with their neighbours.

The obedience of this fundamental law of charity is the golden gateway to prosperity. But the disobedience of this law is the rotten gateway to corruption and poverty.

Every administration seems to be in competition for the celebration of corruption.

The nation is plagued by rampant corruption at all levels, from the poorest to the richest Nigerians. The difference is the fact that the rich steal more than the poor.
Then the intellectual illiteracy of the majority of the people fuels the intellectual hypocrisy of the elites of the shamelessly corrupt ruling class in Nigeria.

3. Finally, the third reason is majority of Nigerians misplace their priorities in education, occupation and profession. And this third reason is powered by the second reason.

Majority of Nigerians do not go to school for the values and virtues of education, but for the mere selfish acquisition of the qualification they need for the competition in their rat race of catching up with the "Joneses" and not for nation building..



No well educated and intelligent man will indulge in corrupt practices, because a good education bestows upon you the great qualities of the indispensable values and virtues of dignity, integrity and nobility, the three pillars of a good personality in every civilized society.

What we are facing today is a society ruled by philistinism and these philistines who are men and women without conscience are in majority and they have filled the nation with their contagious corruption and pollution.

They enjoy messing around and wallow in the rot. These are really the dogs of the earth. They don't care about goodness and would trample on anything good in their way. And like the dogs they have become, they often return to their own vomit and even smack their lips as they eat their own vomit of corruption.

They are those who disregard dignity, integrity and nobility and they are the enemies of humanity and the sooner we get rid of these horrible and terrible enemies the better, healthier and safer humans would be. Because, if we don’t destroy evils, evils will certainly destroy us.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
