‘Bribery holds devastating effects for the development of a country’
A Nigerian activist, Comrade Mahmud Abubakar, has penned a damning article against the act of giving and taking of bribe by Nigerians.
He said the act holds devastating effects for citizens and the development of a nation.
Abubakar took to his Twitter page to share the article as #NoShishi4Bribe hash tag trends on Twitter in Nigeria.
He wrote:
“Bribery holds major devastating effects for citizens and the development of the country. The 2017 National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) survey reports that an estimated 400billion are paid in bribes each year.
“The survey also records that the highest forms of bribe cases implicates Security/entrusted officials (police, immigration officers, customs officers etc.) who are entrusted with upholding the rule of law.
“Shockingly, it has also been reported that 56% of People who resisted paying bribes suffered several consequences in forms of loss of jobs, loss of properties, loss of lives etc.
“Recently, the mainstream news has reported several cases of citizens losing their lives at gunpoint due to their resistance of paying bribes, this literally confirms the maxim ‘Corruption kills’!”
