Effective Anti-Corruption Strategy: The Strategic Fight Against Corruption (Imported Nigeria: Neo-Centennial Pilgrimage To Zero-Tolerance For Corruption)

Dissect Nigeria's 37 member parts, and all you will find, in all parts of this great nation, are potentials which convert immediately into chewy cake-bits and pieces of hope for the country and for all Nigerians. This hope will be fruitfully rewarding if all these potentials are harnessed. For the purpose of this book, the strategic fight against corruption is shifting our focus from the unnecessary distraction of pointing accusing fingers, casting blames, giving excuses and defending oneself about corruption in Nigeria. The purpose of this political discourse is to imbue in us a positive attitude of looking inward to discover our true role in the fight against corruption. The recommendations of this book point out how to start taking responsibility of examining and sanitizing oneself sincerely, forgiving oneself genuinely, and resolving within oneself firmly to get to the root of corruption in one's vicious tendencies, in order to eradicate all vices in oneself. The Hallmark of this book is a guide for each of us to set a personal example of zero tolerance for corruption that others may do likewise in personalizing the strategic fight against corruption. The fight is inward-out, not vice versa as before, hence we begin with ourselves to fight our own vices. Dedicating this book also to my Late Dad - Esq. Friday B. Isugu, I would state at once that I do not write this book with any glee of enthusiasm but in sadness, not because my education was interrupted by the sudden death of my dad two years after my mum's death, when I started researching for this work, but because I am really not learned enough to be writing this work at this time. If only I had been more learned than I am at the time of this writing, at 27, I would have been happy to write it better than I write now. But I accept my misfortune in agreement with Ben Gbulie, whose opening words about fate, in Part I, "Case, Cause and Consequence" of his book "Nigeria's Five Majors," sank a personal meaning of fate into my heart, as fate has made me write this way. So I will love my work to summon up the immortal words of Ben Gbulie on fate saying, "There can be no armour against fate. This I know for sure, especially with the advantage of hindsight. Fate, to my mind, curtails every person's liberty to act or do as he pleases. It cuts every human being down to size, peasant and patrician alike; and reduces everyone almost to the status of a bar magnet in a field of iron filings. There is therefore no shaking off any situation, or even changing the course of any event, once fate has ordained it." I am thus made certain that fate has left me right upon where I can base my present literary strides. And so, anyone may accept this discourse at the level it is because I didn't learn more than I could express, yet I have truly put my best into it, before seeking rest. One of the most fascinating places on planet earth is Nigeria, also one of the most catawamptious socio-political enclaves, a favorable naturally endowed terrain for all types of economic activities taking place on earth. Its inhabited landmass is populated by the most fascinating multi ethnic black people on earth. They are a people that cannot be kibbled if dribbled by harsh conditions of life. This is ensuing from the challenge of the deleterious social impact of colonialism and neocolonialism; which, as a menace to national growth, created the brunt of weakness akin to generational degeneration of the people, garnered with their potentialities for independence and excellence in autonomy. Our broad condition of living is by far below poverty margin - an indication of dehumanization, such that, empathetically, one would begin to imagine how we are able to survive with less than N197.00k, the equivalent of $1.00 a day. I see no need for statistics. Unity, Peace and Progress are three essentials for the Nigerian project to stand erect and not suffer a sudden collapse. Corruption is today's foe.
