"For the congregation of the hypocrites
shall be desolate
and fire shall consume the
tabernacles of bribery" (Job 15:34).
Longman Dictionary: "Dishonest, illegal or immoral behaviour; especially from someone with power."
Whilst The TI, which has published the ‘Corruption Perceptions Index’ since 1995, defines corruption as “the misuse of public power for private benefits.”
ADUMAEAN DEFINITION OF CORRUPTION: My definition of corruption is any undignifying act; corruption is a mind disease or the disease of the mind or mind leprosy. It is a manifestation of a depraved mind or a mind that is sick, full of garbage, rubbish, grass, worms, locusts, vultures, caterpillars, hence enables all sorts of vice to thrive/grow thereon. A corrupt mind is an unhealthy mind trapped in an unhealthy body...a sort of an unsound mind in an unsound body when in fact, it ought to be A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY as goes the motto of my alma mater ALADURA COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL, ANTHONY VILLAGE, LAGOS, NIGERIA.

THE NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR A BROAD-BASED DISSECTION OF AND STRATEGIES TO COMBAT CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA
PROLOGUE
THE GREAT SUMMONS
Throughout the length and breath of Nigeria, the bugle is being blown to summon all Nigerians to answer this national call. This call is to be Nigerian in all things Nigerian without recourse to ethnicity and violence; this call is to be humane in all things and be selfish in nothing. It is a summons to integrity; courage; to excellent service to humanity, this call is to every Nigerian to occupy their minds with serious things; to wipe out injustice and lay the foundation of an egalitarian society of fraternal proximity, to be punctual to work and to be committed to our employers. It is a summons to the employer that the worker deserves his wage; it is also a summons to workers not to turn their places of work into places of merchandize. Yea, it is a summons which places loyalty to fatherland above all else, to creativity and individual initiatives; to every Nigerian to carry their own cross and depend less on the Government; it is a summons for purposeful and visionary leadership and a dedicated, creative and committed followership. This call is an appeal for dialogue and understanding; it is an appeal against endless borrowing by the Government; it is an appeal for the diversification of the economy and a form of privatization that is fair to all concerned.
