SO YOU THINK YOU ARE NOT CORRUPT?

Consider your ways before you curse whoever is guilty of gross indiscipline, corruption and other criminal offences to be sure you are not exactly like them in the making.

If you habitually employ malpractices (no matter how little) to get things done and make gain as a follower, you won't do otherwise eventually you rise to position of leadership. Ultra corrupt leaders started their corrupt practices way back before they become leaders.

Unlawful acts often perpetrated by people is/are directly proportional to the level of their placement per time. Having formed the habit of extorting motorists and other road users as a security officer, you will embezzle staggering sum of money if you later on head your organisation or any other government institution/parastata.

The magnitude of crime committed by anyone is within the confine of his/her area of influence. Whoever steals $1,000 from $10,000 monthly allocation for specified purposes directly in his charge at work without being caught, will upgrade to stealing $100,000 when the allocation is increased to $1,000,000.

Perhaps at your level now, you indulge in: exam malpractices, bribery, ghost worker scheme, forgery, production/sales of substandard or expired products, poor service delivery, injustice, theft, internet fraud (yahoo yahoo), land grabbing, ritual murder, 'do as I say' charm, kidnapping, reckless driving, littering of public places, discrimination or abuse of due process and any other evil deed; you are in no better way different to your bad leaders and every corrupt person at the top. Without making right changes now that you are at the grass root, you will do worse to get to the top and surely, you will do the worst to remain at the top.

I am very sure by now, you would have known plainly your status having read through this piece if you had erroneously thought you are not guilty of indiscipline and corrupt practices. What is next is to make required adjustment wherever you are found wanting. It is impossible to effect correction without knowing or admitting the wrong you do. The process of transformation is activated when a people become remorsefully aware of their gross malpractices, admit they are wrong and bid for a change.
