CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA! DO WE EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

The August 1995 conference on Ethics in Government held in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun state Nigeria organized by the Civil Liberties Organization, presented a paper which described corruption as "a global phenomenon, intelligible only in its social context. It can be defined as anti‐social behaviour conferring improper benefits contrary to legal and moral norms, and which undermines the authorities’ capacity to secure the welfare of all citizens".
Hmm, i'd say that is just a stereotypical statement, in as much as the described principle is true. In the Nigerian context, corruption has taken a somewhat peculiar turn. Bribery, fraud, embezzlement, favoritism, extortion and nepotism are forms of corruption thrive depending on the degree of provision of opportunity for the citizenry and the quality of every single nucleus family.
A child that has the privilege of good infrastructure such as power, good roads, quality health care and education and a shot at greatness will most probably not be liable to the dangerous fangs of "corruption".
A child however who realizes that there apparently isn't any future for him grows up to be an insecure and unpatriotic citizen that knows he can bribe himself out of a weak judiciary system after committing fraud, embezzlement or extortion.
Interestingly, Nigerians know the truth of the processes of every monetary dealings performed, but there consistently appears to be element of lies, hypocrisy, laziness and lack of creativity and knowledge on how to tackle the issue.
The principles of systems which clearly emphasizes multiple causes and effect helps us understand that there is no smoke without fire, meaning issues that eventually rear a head are usually a multiplier effect.
The CEO of Lloyd Anderson in person of Olalekan Olashore in 2009 did a presentation on "ownership culture" which gives a broad perspective in this regard, the moment an employee treats his job or a business as his, then he goes all out on making it up, running and profitable without stealing from it.

The Pareto principle also applies as it states the 80 / 20 rule where 20% have leadership potential and while the remaining 80% are basically seeking direction  The case study for this scenario seeks to personify the private sector actors as the 20%, which is why it is only right to effectively privatize government parastatals that have been reduced to mere shadows. This will definitely keep workers on their toes, increase creativity and help upgrade accountability.
