Corruption and greediness.

Greediness and corruption are the two things currently pinning africa down from taking her rightful place amongst the nations of the world.it is the rest n why africa is yet to experience anything that would make the world powers to recognize her.before I go ahead it is patinent I explained the meaning of both words, greediness and corruption.

Greediness is the state of being greedy,and greed is defined as a selfish or excessive desire for having more what is needed which could be in form of money, wealth and other things. While on the other hand corruption is seen as the act of corrupting or impairing of of integrity,virtue or moral principle,it could equally be defined as the state of being corrupted or debased,loss of purity and integrity. Now these two words centers on just one sentence which is the act of having more than needed or better still put,it the act of wanting to obtain more than is necessary.this particular fight and struggle to obtain more than necessary is the reason why the african continent has refused to develop just like other continents of the world are doing.they are moving two steps forward and three steps back.this has really tarnished our image,and it seems the average Nigeria the self acclaimed giant of Africa is not left out, recently people are beginning to support those who feast on it,the other day I was coming back from a place,I was literally traveling and the vehicle I boarded was a public one so we had all passengers from all other works of life board it with me,now I would beat my hand comfortably to my chest and say that half of Nigeria forces are all corrupt if not most,now it's not a new thing that they do collect tips from transport workers and if the transporter refuses he is punished by being delayed or better still ,hi vehicle could be whisked away,and this is something that has been going on the county for a very long time now,so on that particular day I was traveling by a public bus, on the way the police men started extorting the drive of our vehicle again but I was sad this thing still happen in the 21st century and nothing is been done about it,I thought it was one of the reasons for the end SARS protest but even after that the whole policemen have returned to doing what they were warned maybe I could still bewrong,maybe they were never warned but they mede us believe we were. Now I have come to witness that the main cause of this two vices "greed and corruption"is lack of patience,over time the thing called lack of patience has played itself over and over again. While we were coming back all of a sudden at a checking point the police stopped our vehicle and asked our driver to roger him,which in a lay man's understand is "find me money",but the driver became upset and refused giving out money so the passengers inside the vehicle began to throw all sorts of abusive words at the driver,one was even saying that the driver was stingy, unknown to her she is indirectly fueling corruption, can't people learn how to exercise patience in this country of ours?,must always be in a haste to meet up,can't they plan themselves well before embarking on any journey?. The other day a man paid the sum of 20thousand naira united to get his nim at the local government,I think that these are the main cause of corruption in this country,they are they reason why our leaders who are killing us has refused to look back because they know the led are yet ready to change their mindset.must we continue to think this way?,can't we just be a little patient with the whole system instead of being in a haste all the time. They average man in the streets now believe deeply in the saying that "what money cant do more money can"imagine that it's the reason why they work so hard and at the end of tr the day the have little or nothing to show for it.Becouse everything has gone into bribing the powers we think that be, people pay out money to secure jobs only in africa,it is the only continent especially Nigeria where students who rely soley on the little change given to them by their parents to feed use it to bribe the courses they know too well simply because of intimidation.because they were told that without paying the amount agree then definitely one would have to repeat the course one didn't pay to pass despite having read a lot. This is worrisome and the way forward is what we should be discussing.
