MEANING OF CORRUPTION, TYPES OF CORRUPTION
Corruption refers to the misuse of power and embezzlement of public money. Public officers often misuse their power to oppress and victimize others. Embezzlement means the conversion of public money into private use. Corruption has become a cankerworm which has eating deep into the social fabric of our nation. Corruption is cancerous. It could be found every where namely, political institutions. For example, in the government educational institutions one offers money to gain admission, in the legal institution, economic institutions are also involved.
Image

TYPES OF CORRUPTION
1. Political corruption
2. Religious corruption
3. Moral corruption
4. Financial corruption
5. Trickery (Advance fee fraud - 419)
6. Prostitution
7. Perjury
8. Impersonation
Image

POLITICAL CORRUPTION:
Here corruption is seen from two perspectives namely corruption by civil servants and corruption committed by chief executives like the president, ministers , governors, commissioners, chairmen, and other elected and political appointees. They accept kick backs, inflate contracts and embezzle huge amounts of the public fund and siphon it out of the country.

RELIGIOUS CORRUPTION: This types of corruption is being perpetrated by religious functionaries e.g. pastors, priests, Bishops, elders and other functionaries of church outside the rank and file of the clergy. They embezzle church fund by inflation of contracts, falsification of records under the pretext that nothing happened.

MORAL CORRUPTION: This deals with the rightness and wrongness of an action. The conscience is the greatest weapon an individual has. When your consciences makes you to commit an act that is socially disapproved, then it is moral corruption. For example stealing, and embezzling communal money etc.

FINANCIAL CORRUPTION: Financial corruption is when a financier in the bank, corporate company, or business enterprise, defrauds or embezzles the institution fund, then corruption has taken place because he has threatened trust bestowed on him.

TRICKERY (Advance Fee Fraud - 419) : This is a type of corruption committed by tricksters on the pretext that they are offering genuine assistance to make you get what you want. This 419 syndrome could be micro when it is done through friends or one suffering assistance to help you obtain admission into the university or to get employment in the public or private sectors and macro when it involves a huge capital outlay like in the oil industry or an assistance to get contract etc.

PROSTITUTION: This is an anti-social vice. Traditionally, Africans hate prostitution i.e. when a female offers her body for money or get a contract or job, get a high mark during examination or for any favour. Prostitution is of two types: local and international. Whether local or international they have a common feature i.e. sale of body for a favour or cash.

PERJURY: Here, someone tells lies in the court after being subjected to an oath in the witness box. He has perjured the court and the full weight of the law will come upon him when discovered and the penalty is imprisonment.

IMPERSONATION: This is the act of impersonating i.e. someone pretending to be someone he is not. This is common now in examination like JSCE or BECE, WASSCE , NECO, JAMB. In the examination you see someone writing examination for someone who is not around and pretending that he is the one. At times the supervisors, the invigilators, and the external monitoring team like the Ministry of Education Officers, NECO Officers, WAEC Officers are aware of this abnormality and they connive by keeping silent because they have received an envelope (bribe). Impersonation carries the full weight of the law by imprisonment. (Even parents sometimes go to examination venues to bribe officials to help their children pass examinations).

LESSON 18
TOPIC: CAUSES OF CORRUPTION

2. Social attachment to material wealth.
3. Break down in societal values and ethics where premium is placed on honesty and hard work.
4. Poverty and economic insecurity.
5. Poor and inadequate training.
Image

GREED AND SELFISHNESS ON THE PART OF INDIVIDUAL: Here the individual is not satisfied with what he has and wants to be rich at all cost in order to become great.

SOCIAL ATTACHMENT TO MATERIAL WEALTH: This is as a result of change in our values system. The society no longer attaches premium to honour, integrity, honesty , hard work, morality etc. This is why people do all sorts of things to make money and society honours them by giving them different title .

BREAK DOWN IN SOCIETAL VALUES AND ETHICS WHERE PREMIUM IS PLACED ON HONESTY AND HARD WORK: Because of the values , system , honesty and hard work are no longer the indices of status acquisition. Wealth, whether correctly or inappropriately acquired , is the only indices for acquisition of status.

POVERTY AND ECONOMIC INSECURITY: As a result of hardship( locally and globally) and poor remuneration to workers, their take home packet is nothing to write home about in order to meet up with societal expectations hence they turn to corrupt practices for survival.

POOR AND INADEQUATE TRAINING: Where the staff is poorly trained and ill-equipped the tendency is to commit fraud in the discharge of his duty.
