Nigeria: Corruption As A Consequence Of Greed

In a way, I can not help but have some sympathy for the men and women of the Nigeria Police Force. They work very long hours. They are very poorly and irregularly paid and their pay is not commensurate with the risks they are supposed to take in a country beset by sophisticatedly equipped armed robbers and militants...

Your 20 Naira Or Your Life?

I want to ask the men and women that stroll along the corridors of power in the various tiers of government, just one question: Are you all blind? I am perplexed that no individual in the National Assembly has made the reformation of the Nigerian Police Force his or her sole legislative objective…
