In a nutshell, these sentences sum up the bunch of fools in charge of the failed nation.
Not even the most backward society, deep in the amazon jungle that has not been touched by any civilisation or modernisation, can explain having the likes of Ibori, Kalu, Alao-Akala, Alams etc as governors.
Olu Affairs, thank you, you got it so right. Permit me to add briefly that the seriousness of this nation in making any meaningful progress in fighting corruption is amply reflected in the calibre of leaders we have, most of whom are rogues and vagabonds in power, e.g. the likes of David Mark, with his well-known pedigree, as a very corrupt person, as Senate President; Goodluck Jonathan [another EFCC indicted, together with his equally corrupt wife - also indicted by the EFCC] as Vice President; Senator Iyiola Omisore - responsible for the murder of Bola Ige [in conjunction with Obasanjo, Atiku & others] sitting in our upper house of legislators; and a morally inept leadership in the House of Representatives and the Senate. We are a joke but simply fail to see ourselves in the mirror. How will corruption fight corruption? It is rotten from the top, where the mandate is a stolen one so this democratic foray stinks to high heavens and will eventually lead us to nowhere. We have continuously been dancing in circles, fettered by feudal lords who do not see further than their own selfish interests. We need to erase what we have now and rebuild, making examples of all the untouchables presently holding us down! It will take time but we will get there in the end.
