I am changing from one television station to another.
All local news have ‘Corruption’ as their caption.
I can not help but think, we are captives of corruption.
Should I continue watching?
I am fed up with all the fraud!
I opted to help my 7-year-old baby with her homework
My daughter smiled
‘Mama, will you buy me a bicycle if I pass my exams?’ she asked
That is a very simple question but wait!
What impression about education will I cultivate in her if I say yes?
This is where corruption comes in.
Education should be for the sake of my daughter’s bright future.
Doing well should be from intrinsic motivation and not the benefits.
How will I make her understand?
As a parent, I have the power over her.
We are a blinded society.
I really need to tell her to read not only for the benefits.
But also to open her mind to grab opportunities that come her way.
If you are sick and tired just like I am,
Then we should all play a role
Teach Your Children For A Corruption-Free Society!
The situation might be bad today
But you can nurture for a bright future!

Can’t help imagining a corruption free society in years to come…that would be great..lets work towards that..good article dear
Go go girl. Enlighten this blinded society .??
A very interesting article. I love it! Keep creating.
A corrupt free society is possible if and only if all of us,most especially the leaders change their attitude and behaviour. Keep up the good work. Change begins with you and I.
Children are exposed to this horrible act of corruption way early in their life.
To teach them to go in the right path is what we should strive for.
Corruption is a pandemic now. It should be stopped and it have to start from the children.
Sly this is wonderful dear
