Corruption

And greed

But corruption stands out. In fact, I'm inclined to describe it as wickedness.

Nigeria (my country) is one of the most blessed countries on the African continent. We have both natural and human resources yet people languish in abject poverty.

The ruling class are more interested in keeping themselves in power. We only benefit from them during the election period when they' share welfare packages and promise all sorts just to get elected. They even pay for votes at the polling unit.

Because of poverty, most people accept the welfare packages. When they get to the polling station, they offer their votes to the highest bidder. And the suffering continues.

It's hard to get a decent job if you aren't connected (especially in the civil service). Salaries aren't paid on time. Lecturers and teachers go on strike a lot.

The ruling elite don't care as long as they have enough money to satisfy their greed
