The Ordeal Behind Every Corruption

By Akinpelu John Obaoluwatayomi

I have stomached this for a long time but I can't stop wondering why the human brain only thinks of self interest even if at the detriment of many generations present and yet to come.

Come to think of it;is it natural,humane and or the best to derogate others all in the name of affluence? How be it,"My importance as well as specialty is the first"- so should a man think.

Corruption;it sets in when you think too much of yourself at the expense of your neighbour. In an attempt to edify ourselves, we end up nullifying others. It is indisputable that an average man "come what may" must survive with daily needs averagely met.

Can we all become Politician,Footballer,Artiste and all that jazz? Yet we must survive. The point is-the rich confounds the poor,the famous see others as nonentity,politicians then turn the crowd that vote them in against one another;all with the sole aim of wealth acclimatization.

Interestingly,I can't blame anybody but instead of clamouring while nothing seems changing,why not take a stroll down the isle of creation.

The first deceit ever was brought by the first woman-Eve;not her fault though;she was blindfolded. That explains why a woman will always long for position in which other things are embedded. You can see it all started right from the first family on planet earth.

While you are passing the buck on some,watch out what goes on with your household. Do not forget,it might be the turn of your successors tomorrow. Eradication programmes should not be left for the government,enforce it within your family.

Examine the trend with me here....Eve was deceived, she deceived Adam. They gave birth to Cain as the first child,Abel the second,and other three. Out of five,Cain killed his immediate brother. You ask why? I am sure you know that. You can see that killing one another either for position, wealth or what it may began from the first family.

Don't judge others as the case may be,work on the family you belong or you will later have. That is the only way we can support Nation Building.
