How do i hold myself and my PEERS accountable for their actions? and even their parents' actions? our generation has already become one that hails and celebrates with governors'/senators' children for their parents' looted wealth, so we might be too far gone already, but we certainly can't give up and let it pass onto the next generation. it's especially easier for those living outside nigeria to jumpstart this idea of holding our peers accountable, as the consequences are less severe than for those living at home. that's just one small step which can have great ripple effects if we stick with it. <BR/><BR/>Let's make our society one that shames wrongdoers, as we continue to wait (and work towards) the day when our judicial system is efficient enough to properly deal with them.TheAfroBeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909748861182207942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003061036846925103.post-16252123725408481802007-10-18T14:54:00.000+00:002007-10-18T14:54:00.000+00:00I don't think the point of this publication is for...I don't think the point of this publication is for people to add it to a list of similar acknowledgemtns. It is more of <I>another</I> attempt to get us to do something.<BR/><BR/>There is difference between acknowledging the current plight and level of corruption in Nigeria, and with finally saying enough is enough and <B>I am going to hold myself personally responsible for ensuring that I not only end corruption when and where i see it, but <I>take steps to prevent it.</I></B><BR/><BR/>I am one of many that are guilty of saying corruption needs to end, but that is not the only answer. We need to act towards preventing it...as the old adage goes...<B>prevention is better than cure!</B><BR/><BR/>So i'm challenging everyone who reads this post to think about what they can do to educate themselves and others to prevent them from falling into the path of the corrupt.<BR/><BR/>The only reason corruption is still so prevalent and appears to be blossoming like a morning rose is because more and more people are being led astray...<BR/><BR/><I>What will you do about this?</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003061036846925103.post-7815708302859163102007-10-18T04:54:00.000+00:002007-10-18T04:54:00.000+00:00We have seen lots of this in the past.

However, it is wonderful that for the sake of prosperity and precedent reports such as these highlight the plight of Nigerians in their quest for true democracy and good governance. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, a group like Transition Monitoring Group, which already came to these results a long time ago, will not get the same media focus and hype that a foreign org like HRW gets. I hope that overtime, home grown organizations like TMG, Nigerian Lighthouse and others will be in a position to influence Nigeria from within and effect the necessary change that country needs.<BR/><BR/>Nice post!SOLOMONSYDELLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564768670896215900noreply@blogger.com
