Nigeria is a nation of contradictions. We are a multicultural and multi-ethnic society. Most of our people practice Islam or Christianity, both of which abhor and forbid corruption and discrimination (especially tribalism and religious bigotry), yet, Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries in the world today, with corruption reaching frightening proportions in the past twelve years of democracy in a country where billions of naira have been stolen from government coffers with impunity, while religion and tribalism have been used to keep the country divided, perpetually underdeveloped and backwards, despite the huge potentials of the country in all spheres of the economy.
