FIGHT, EXPOSE, REPORT AND ERADICATE CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA NOW Fellow Nigerians we are making an effort for our great country to be eradicated of corruption. Corruption has been the main obstacle for Nigeria as a nation to grow, and it has denied majority of its people the ability to achieve their aims and goals. Every body has to be ready and all hands must be on deck to fight this disease that has robbed us of our dignity as a nation. We must start now to do something no matter how little. We are establishing a website to expose, fight and educate Nigerians on what corruption has done to our great nation. We are working hard to raise the funds to establish this website soon and help will be needed from everybody. It will take time to build a very good web site and gather the data and information to fight corruption in Nigeria because of the amount of money involved and the the endemic problem it is in Nigeria, but meanwhile use the email to report any corrupt practice no matter how highly placed the person maybe to authorities and send an email to us if you experience any act of corruption. Using Email and the Internet is the simplest and easiest way to fight this disease. It is being done in India and they are having great success in fighting corruption in their country. We will be gathering this data and information from every state in Nigeria and we will have Nigerian State Index on corruption in each State of Nigeria. Send information on any corrupt activities to: Corruption_free_nigeria@yahoo.com or fight_corruption_in_nigeria_now@yahoo.com We have to begin this fight in any small way and with any effort in our disposal. This is a call to every Nigerian and to people who wish Nigeria well. We are asking any body who happens to be in Nigeria as a visitor, Nigerians living in Nigeria, and everybody to please report any type of corrupt practice witnessed in Nigerian – at the Air ports, Nigerian Embassies all over the world, in the schools, Government offices, private business, the police, Army, customs, Immigration office or station etc. Send an email to any of this two email addresses below and the appropriate authority will be notified according. Nigerians living abroad or who visited another country are the most targeted for bribery and other corrupt activities. This is our chance to fight back. If for example, you are in Nigeria and at the airport, police check point, government offices or at a Nigerian Embassy abroad and noticed a corrupt practice taking place, like bribery, kickback, contract inflation, Oil pipeline vandalism, illegal bunkering, execution of government contract poorly, etc please just do the following.
