Why Do We Forgive Corrupt Politicians So Easily?

Insight 46 days ago

    A politician steals billions.

    We cry for a week.

    He shares bags of rice.

    We cheer.

    He attends a wedding.

    We snap selfies.

    He declares again.

    We vote.

     

    It’s a vicious cycle — and the joke’s on us.

     

    Why are Nigerians so quick to forgive those who rob us blind?

    Is it poverty?

    Is it tribal loyalty?

    Or have we been beaten down so much, we’ve normalized corruption?

     

    In other countries, corruption ends careers.

    In Nigeria, it launches legacies.

     

    Until we stop celebrating thieves because of “what he did for my area,” nothing will change.

     

    🧠 Maybe corruption isn’t winning.

    Maybe we’re helping it win.

     

    Let’s talk👇

    Why do we keep recycling the same corrupt leaders?
