Nigeria Can’t Fight Graft with Lax Rules on Gifts

Nigerians are not inherently corrupt. No Nigerian was conceived with a characteristic inclination to be corrupt.


However, corruption is endemic in this nation. Transparency International routinely positions Nigeria among the world's most corrupt nations. A previous British Prime Minister, David Cameron, once portrayed Nigeria as "phenomenally corrupt". Indeed, even President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have much of the time regretted the level of corruption in the nation. Be that as it may, if Nigerians were not conceived with corruption in their DNA, why is corruption so overflowing among the political first class and open officers? Indeed, the appropriate response is the framework. Corruption is all inclusive, however what makes a nation more corrupt or less is the nature and adequacy of its hostile to corruption component. Tragically, Nigeria's framework bolsters instead of forestalls corruption.

In their interesting book, "Freakonomics", Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner, contend that motivating forces are the foundation of present day life. "A motivation", they place, "is a shot, a lever, a key, a regularly modest question with amazing energy to change a circumstance". Furthermore, there are not any more capable motivations to change human conduct than organizations. Douglas North, an institutional financial expert and Nobel Prize champ, made a critical qualification amongst "formal" and "casual" establishments: the previous are guidelines and laws; the last incorporate customs, procedures and taboos. Both constitute the motivating force structure in any general public.

Quite a while back, the British Telegraph daily paper distributed an anecdote about African understudies who were bouncing the line for transports. This provoked a councilor to call for outside understudies to be given an essential establishing in British behavior. As the councilor put it, "I would not have thought lining was an excessively troublesome idea, making it impossible to get a handle on". Presently, are the British hereditarily more polite than Africans? No. In any case, acting efficient out in the open spots is not something that the "frameworks" in numerous African nations motivating force, while in the UK, such practices are viewed as fundamental conduct. In truth, a great many people, paying little respect to their nationality, would carry on inside the limitations of formal and casual organizations, yet when such imperatives are not set up, what happens next is anyone's guess!
