Will there be a single national currency or each regions will have her own currency? Will the foreign exchange management and monetary policy decisions be made by the federal government or regions? Who will regulate commercial banking services? If all these duties will be handled by the federal government as I am envisaging, then to a high extent, the economy of the country will be controlled by the center. If regions are to individually control these critical economic issues, then the new system should be called confederation and not federation.

If my assumption of a federally controlled economy is right, then there is still a lot to be legislated and decided at the centre. See, let's not deceive ourselves, we cannot have a federal system without a strong federal government. America, China, Canada, etc that practice federalism still have a very strong federal government. We can only reduce the powers of the current federal structure and give regions more powers.

Back to revenue, in as much as we remain under a single monetary authority, natural resources in the federation cannot be the exclusive preserve of regions where they are found. It will create a distorted economy that will hurt everybody. In for example they have an arrangement whereby less endowed regions still get to share revenues accruing from more endowed regions. We will have to work out something similar.

Finally, we can't run away from a population based constituency delineation. It is the only workable democratic way to form a Parliament especially when a unicameral parliament is being proposed. Let us propose a realistic structure that will be workable and acceptable and not an unrealistic one.

I share some of your sentiments but I believe its part of an evolving process. The German model can as well apply but there's this reason we need to think outside the box to create a system that will work for us. The truth however remains that each region/state /province must seek their own prosperity.
The central bank will be a central institution with governing council nominated by each state/region/province and a governor approved by the parliament.
I honestly think seeking your redemption in someplace is akin to losing hope, everyone will survive

deedeedee1:
Itsehkiri should not be added to the south west but the edoid region. Besides, who want regionalism when we will still split?
Let us just split once and for all

Splitting Nigeria is not the best option but can be the desire of the larger part but a restructured system can allay all our fears I believe.
Yes, Itsekiri may have to determine which side of the divide they will want but based on possible permutation they will probably chose the southwest considering aggressive neighbors, securing their territory will be better assured under that arrangement I think, its their call though

mrnigerdelta:
there are no indigenous Yoruba people in Edo. stop spreading lies

There are in Akoko Edo and even some Owan and Etsako areas. It all depends on what the people will want anyway

seunmsg:
A restructured Nigeria should not have more than 6 or 7 regions. We also need to look critically at how revenues will be shared between the regions and federal government. We have to structure the system in such a way that regions with less endowments won't be left behind. We are going to have a single currency and economy so, we can't afford an extremely rich region and an extremely poor one. A straight jacketed 70-30 or 50-50 proposal is not feasible and won't work. We need to find a way around this.

Issue of regional citizenship also needs to be discussed and agreed upon. Will all Nigerians have the rights to live anywhere in the country and do business without restrictions? Personally, I won't mind regions having the power to bounce some unruly fellows.

We should have a regional and federal police covering different areas of crime prevention. INEC should remain a federal body to conduct all elections in the country. Regional INEC is a no no as it will be abused by regional lords.

Representation at federal Parliament should not be based on equality of regions but on population. We should conduct a credible population census and delineate legislative constituencies based on population.

There are no real poor places but poor people. There can not be a way to equalize wealth except you will have to deprive some. A straight jacket model of 70/30 or 50/50 will solve a whole lots of problems as creativity to balance budget will come. China model even require you to seek work permit to work outside of your province while the American version allows you to roam free. If you eye natural resource of someplace to develop yourself you may never develop your human resource.
In this kind of an arrangement, there can be no national parties at the initial stage but it can evolve but regions/state/provinces will have the autonomous capacity to develop their own electoral system and evolve politically having their own electoral body.

Representation by population will create crises like the current system and leads to inflation of population figures. Since each constituent is autonomous there is little to make laws on.

SuperS1Panther:
is 14 not too much?

Western Region should have the 6 states of SW, Yoruba speaking parts of KWara and Kogi.

Itshekiris and Yoruba part of Edo (Akoko Edo) can also be added.

The actual number will be determined by the will of the people concerned to work together. I feel strongly that different conditions of apprehensions will determine how people will want to be part of any particular region. For instance, southern kaduna people will probably accept any arrangement that will separate them from zazzau emirate

I want to give a brief contribution to the trending topic of "restructuring" since no one seemed to had actually suggested how a restructured Nigeria should look like. Before I go any further, lets understand the basis of the current problem from fiscal point of view borne out of the current political structure where government incomes are aggregated at the center and funds are allocated based on parameters that supposedly favored some sections above the other.Also, it is also said that even the current states as they are were created by military decrees and not through democratic process meaning that it could only had satisfied those who had the power to draw the map their own ways.
Please consider this story by a US professor , so similar to what is happening in Nigeria:

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.
*That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer*
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan : All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade !
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that communism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment :*

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation !


Considering the story we can draw some lessons thus:
1. When resources are aggregated to be distributed over a population, it can draw down on innovations and kill hard work. Oil proceeds is killing Nigeria's developments due to the manner of allocating funds from Abuja

2. When there's assurance that allocation is coming from Abuja, no one want to put efforts at harnessing available resources

3. Due to loads of billions of dollars going to Abuja, every politician want to be a part of the cut and so we have a deeply corrupt system of national cake.

What fiscal structure does Nigeria needs

Each emerging region /state must be generating its revenues, collect taxes out of which 30% of such revenue will be paid as development tax to the federal government. States/regions are to be in charge of all resources, mining and infrastructures. It will be from the developmental tax pool that the federal budget will be drawn alongside federal assistant findings to needing states/regions.

What Political restructuring

Considering the fact that about 83% of the current stars are not viable fiscally, we can simply revert to regional arrangements with some adjustments leaving calling them states or regions or provinces. These states/ regions or provinces will come up with internal structures that suit them.

The central government in Abuja will be unicamera with equal representative per state/region/province and headed by a Prime minister rotated across the states every four years.
The federal/ central government will be in charge of the FCT, defense and border security while states/ region/provinces handle all remaining responsibilities from security to education etc.

States/Provinces/Region
1. AkwaCross: combination of Akwa Ibom and Cross River to bring together similar groups
2. Rivers
3. Izon : Aggregation of Ijaw land and kinsmen in the Niger Delta
4. Delta :
5. Alaigbo : The current five southeastern stars and the igbo kinsmen in Delta and Rivers
6. Omoluabi-Oduduwa : The current six southwestern states plus Yoruba kinsmen in Edo, Delta , kogi and Kwara.
7. Edo

8. Nok: Aggregation of minorities of Southern Kaduna, plateau and Southern Bauchi
9. Gongola : The minorities from Gombe, Southern Borno, and Northern Adamawa
10. Mambilla : Sourhern Adamawa, Taraba, and parts of Nasarawa
11. Benue : Benue and parts of Kogi and Tiv areas of Taraba
12. Niger: Niger plus minority areas of Kebbi
13. Borno: kanuri and their kinsmen
14: Arewa: Hausa/ Fulani in the Northwestern parts of the country and their kinsmen in parts of northeast.

Any state can apply for federal/ central funding which will be drawn from the 30% contribution by all the constituent parts. Each state/region / province can decide on its fiscal direction, have its constitution and byelaws.
I want Nigerians to contribute as we can come up with workable ideas.Maybe we can have just the six regions or seven or eight.please contribute
Thank you

When Nigeria is restructured, the current states will disappear to give way to 6 to 12 regions or states like the current geopolitical zoning with minor adjustments such that similar ethnic groups will fall into the same regions or states.
When that happens, we may have something like AkwaCross, Izon, Rivers and Bendel emerging from Niger Delta.
Omoluabi -Oduduwa representing the Yoruba groups in Southwest,Edo, Delta , Kwara and Kogi.
Alaigbo representing igbo groups in Southeast , Delta and Rivers
Three to four regions in the middle belt comprising of minorities from southern kaduna to Gombe, Southern Borno to Benue
Then an Hausa Fulani state in Northwest and majorly kanuri state in Northeast.

With resource control and like 30% tax to the Federal Government, real competition for survival will start and the notion of someplace is poor or rich may become different within a decade.

To those looking for disintegrated Nigeria the country may divide across a more difficult lines like say 5 to even 10 countries. For instance, the Niger Delta rich in petroleum will have difficulty being one country, even when they meet for stability, achieving two countries may be difficult as the Ijaw obviously will want to play a key part with the Akwacross people resisting.
The key targets for the Igbo will be Porthacourt and the oil being claimed with Kogi. In the case of violence, they will stretch their arm to areas of Delta and Bayelsa which will last for many years. If the igbo do not have too many front to defend, they may just have porthacourt to fight over with the Ikwere on one side and Ijaw on the other.

The primary problem of the Hausa will be holding on to kaduna city or state and Abuja, Jos on one hand and accessing the sea on the other. If they can get the Gwari and Nupe on their side, they may use Ilorin city as a bait with the Yoruba and it will benefit both sides. However if the middle belt groups which will be many fight against a common enemy, it will begin a long and difficult conflicts spread around many places.

In all, the stability that looks okay for the Yoruba with sizeable landmass, access to international corridor etc may be destabilized by refugee crises.
I restructuring based on that people

I think the Yoruba people are less concerned about the Niger Delta save their desire for their kinsmen in Edo(largely Akoko Edo, Owan , Etsako and the Itsekiri from Delta)
I feel the Yoruba are focusing more on that than the oil in the Niger Delta.

Only fools believe the only way to solving problems is by resorting to violence. How on earth do you intend to fight a war without destroying all you have labored to build in decades, I think you don't need to waste lives and resources in order to achieve what you desire.
The lack of cooperation between igbo and Yoruba is the bane of both on political landscape in Nigeria. The Hausa/Fulani take advantage of this to the detriment of both of them.
There is the need for them to sit down and plan, agree and work together.

Hmm, this sage came before his time.Each time I read about him I doff my hat. I feel his desire was to end the war as quickly as possible and I think there are lessons to be learned here.

This is an amazing eye opener. I need more info on Setilu, Orunmila and Ela

Can we have these as encyclopedia of a sort please.
I think the Samuel Johnson version of Yoruba history had alot of wrong descriptions of Yoruba tribes forming the very existence of all groups from the perspective of Oyo Empire which was the youngest of the generations if Yoruba kingdoms,much you get than Ugbo and Ife
Samuel Johnson made derogatory remarks for instance on Ijesa and Ijebu while also not being able to make any tangible description of Ekiti and the Ife throne.

My question is, how do we describe the distinct tribes of the Yoruba and their places in the Yoruba history?

AroOkigbo:
As a christian pastor, is it allowed for him to eat such food at breaking of a muslim fast?

There's no other god but God, when you are of God you belong to a father of all gods, before your father every knee must bow. When you sanctify any food by the blood of Jesus every flees flee! Really it doesn't matter but come to think of it, did he actually eat, this is good for harmonious living though. Thumb up Ag President

Examination malpractice is another corruption by the youths and something has to be done fast especially in sorting out WAEC and NECO. We can appreciate the effort of JAMB, and I think WAEC and NECO should look at the way of CBT and streamlined exam centers. Thus will enable those flexing muscles on being the best in the last ten years and those saying they are the first to really gauge their energy.

Our deficiencies are direct results of the country refusal to structure its political, economic and infrastructural istration and governance. Take electricity generation ,transmission and distribution for instance; in how many of those smaller are all these centralized? Decentralizing the grid system in Nigeria so that even local government,even communities can generate and distribute their own electricity can solve power problem in 3years.
Like the brilliant op said, productivity is low in Nigeria and, beside loads of infrastructural deficits which would have business productivity, there are no real competition in the business space.So many holidays, ethnicity, monopoly and even lack of good corporate governance.

Lets correct some notion of urbanization here, just as @op said, areas with urban population.ok
As someone who has transversed many states, I will say the op has a shallow idea of Nigeria. Let me just add these for the sake of education;
Owo town is in Ondo state and that state by Nigeria standard has Akure, Ondo, Ikare, Oka, and Okitipupa as cities though moderately.
Most northern states have at least two large cities but Kaduna has at least three to include Zaria,and Kafanchan. Niger state has Bida, Suleja alongside Minna.
Also, by the op's standard then the overflow from Abuja will give Nasarawa like three cities.
When urbanization is defined around cityscape and economy, then Ibadan, with such a large urban area will give Oyo state a better rating than 34 states beside Lagos and FCT because Ogbomoso, Shaki, Iseyin, and Oyo township are also urban areas.
The overflow from Lagos place Ogun state well with Sagamu, Abeokuta, Ijebu Ode, Ijebu Igbo and even Ikenne.
It will be wrong to call some urban settlements rural because you didn't grade those cities to classes and, you didn't give us measurable qualities to distinguish them.

I see that alot of sources provided as backing for stories here are actually democrats leaning media. Try and learn to balance what you listen to or watch.
The media in USA is the 4th arm of government shaping opinions, governance etc but Trump isn't just finding good relationships with the key leftist media that not only pretend to promote democracy but also same sex marriages, free society etc.
Lets face it, Trump is a free thinker but lean right toward conservative while Mike Pence a rightist, pro life Christian, the leaders of a free world of man without control or divine direction are at war with their ideology and so, its a war between left and right in American politics not just about Trump alone.

The promoters of a free world led by CNN, New York Times ,WSJ, Washington Post , ABC, NBC etc are not at ease with Trump's style and are obviously working at bringing him down.
Now, these are the issues:
Trump is pro American, European don't like that, Chinese don't like that, Mexicans don't like that etc
Trump is pro Christianity, Middle East brothers don't like that and the agreement of all these ate going to give him tough times.

About Comey, I listened to his testimony and that of Jeff Session, though I can't judge but that Trump broke a regulation was a subjective judgment of the FBI director and I feel there are going to be multiple legal interpretation to what President Trump said " I hope you can see, I hope you can let Flynn go" doesn't look like a command to me but may be it is but lawyers will work on that.

If you ask me in my honest opinion, I will say the whole saga is destroying America itself. Even if Democrat wins next election the president better be clean!

Secondly, I think impeaching trump won't be easy, since CNN and the likes failed in their sampling and poll results prior to the election I no longer trust them and can ask question about their sampling. Also, I believe in the spirit of fairness so that when doing your analysis, you bring parties together for and against and then you can allow the public form their perspectives but I feel they are trying to create a perspective for the public.
So what next, I feel Trump will scale through and win a reelection, he's already using twitter to by the mainstream media and his followers may just see the blockade of his policies as anti America.But what do I know!

A restructured Nigeria in which Oduduwa, Biafra, Niger Delta etc are autonomous states is a better choice for comparative advantage.
However in the event of separation, I think the name for a Yoruba country will be OMOLUABI and will likely encom this map covering excess of 275,000 square kilometer.

The speaker is a Christian and if am correct he is a member of Winners Chapel.

If u have office shirt of white, sky blue, red stripes, blue stripes etc let me know. Will b interested in buying

There are more Christians in Nigeria than Muslims even though the gap may be 0-5%. Lagos has more Christians than any other states in Nigeria and we can assume at least over 80% of residents are nominal Christians. Indigenous Lagosians are mixed, Muslims, Christians and traditional adherents.
population is a thing of deceit in Nigeria and the entire population thing is bogus and deceitful.

There are quite alot of conclusions that can be drawn from the available data.

Average in this case cannot be absolutely useful because that will draw down groups with more states since you take the number of states as your denominator!

The reality is that you can only compare enrollment with the total population from each region or people who claim to originate from such region if we hold variance at nil meaning that all who ed to be from any particular state is actually from there.
If you do this and we accept there are more Yoruba than Igbo in Nigeria, then the number of igbo enrollment is higher per 1000.

Expectedly Yoruba enrollee are more because of population advantage especially when you add about 80% of kwara, 5% of Edo and about 30% of Kogi for the Yoruba and, about 30% of Delta and 10% of Rivers to Igbo.

However, there are even more important data like annual pool of convocated graduates per state and region and, a much more is the quality of institutions from which they graduated.

Moving forward, you may wish to look at the number of professionals produced by each state and regions which represents the fibre of the corporate and entrepreneurial expertise.

Let me state that even if a 50years data is to be used, the Yoruba will still have more people and dominate in the areas of those who ended up as professionals and total number of graduates but you must recognize that relative to population on regional basis , the igbo may have a better rate of applicants per population but fall short on total number of applicants in the population.

The number of states is not significant in analyzing the available data since you are comparing regions or ethnic groups.
Of greater importance to me are those who can make significant progress in adding value to the economy. Also significant is the population of each state plus figures of enrollee to eligible or age distribution of the population.
I hope this clears all confusion.

Honestly inflation that is over 17% isn't good for an economy experiencing recession and consumer index nosedived. But we cannot still go back to an imports subsidized trade based economy when we don't really produce anything. The type of economy that most Nigerians want is that which allow them to make free money, consume imported products and live well even though if their lives depends on other countries.
However, the major factors of production are not being worked on as seriously as to guarantee that local productivities envisaged: power is epileptic, access to SME funding is slow etc. TSA has helped in curbing corruption but initiatives to drive economic productivity is not known to the cabals and they won't allow PYO work.
The way forward is decentralization of the power grid system to regional system, decentralize the political structure for ease of governance and eliminate the Senate, its a needless power playing ground, Nigeria will soar.
Happy democracy Nigerians

Prof becoming the VP isn't strange to God, the very hand that hold the pillar of the earth is holding him tight amidst all the spiritual arrows. He's not alone. Wish Buhari well, his becoming president was an act of God.

I honestly will trust Nigeria with this man if he should have the opportunity. He is intelligent, brilliant , knows his job description and worked with available resources. He improvised by assessing the credit market to raise funds because politicians around him would have affected the paper value of those IGR someone mentioned earlier. For Buhari to have preferred him with 3 key ministries demonstrates the trust in his capacity. I was thinking he would be made the Chief of Staff( alas I was wrong and that is one of the key problem of this government)

Fashola gave Lagos a new way to think, the new mentality of a clean and organized environment, next level of infrastructures.I've never met him before but if he decides to gun for the presidency I will root for him gladly(just like Oby Ezekweseli said). We can dream on but only few has his impeccable record in this era believe me, if you can see beyong the veil of politics. Well done, the best Lagos MD so far.

Thanks to Tinubu for the good foresight(call him what you like) and Ambode for trying to prove he can do something. Ambode should look at some fundamentals, he inherited a better Lagos than Fashola and has a better starting point, he should focus on pipe borne water supply to areas with chronic lack, street roads with street lights and drainage systems , more hospitals and public schools.
Congrats Lagos, your future is certain

I cannot say how good or widely acceptable this report can be, I can relate to some of those schools mentioned and confirm some to be true maybe just that I can't ascribe percentages to each school.
I can easily also say that the sample space from which the statistics was derived and methodology be made explicit. I quite agree on Convenant, FUNAAB, FUTA, EKSU(UNAD-before), OAU, Unilorin but placing Unilag at far 10th and UI in the bush? I disagree.Why? Because I've had causes to work with undergraduates, graduates and products of all these institutions and I rank them ver high as far as Nigeria is concerned.
We should also know that some fields are notable with some institutions like Business related disciplines can go with Unilag. When we were discussing MBA classifications based on exiting standards in Nigeria a few days ago, it was easy for us to this way: LBS, Unilag,OAU, UI(albeit new but qualitative products based on antecedents) while others will follow.
One institution I really really respect is FUTA, good school, shining products even when their graduates go abroad, they excel. The alumni strengths of these schools can also be a pointer in their chosen fields or related ones and not just in politics as ABU may want to make that a point of strength.

It was at the last communion in our church the RCCG after which we were asked to pray for healings. Later that night I had a dream in which a friend came and operated on my back which has been in pain for some months. I didn't see a drop of blood, he removed a clotted blood from my veins and that was the end of the pain as I woke up to a perfect healing.

Something fell off from the car ahead of me on the Long Bridge on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway at dawn and the sharp object cut my new tyre by half with immediate deflation grounding me to a halt. Because it was on such a high speed God helped me to put the car under control. The greater miracle was that, I started struggling to fix the spare tyre to no avail until an elderly man parked his tolling vehicle, asked me if I wanted to toll to which I said no and he helped me in fixing the tyre and before I could lift my head to see the man in his car, lo, he was gone, I couldn't see him again. Anyone aware of that location knows its of one of the darkest spots around Lagos, I thank God for send help in critical times.

Igbo & Yoruba.......this is shameful
Yoruba &Igbo........this is shameful

Is there anything you have now or that you have done that makes you superior? Cities built, kingdoms or Empires or space ship,innovations, scientific breakthroughs, respectable institution of learning and research, medical breakthroughs, is there any then and now?
Then, where is your IQ? When just a few children are offered ission into ivy league schools, how many of other tribes/ethnic groups / nations have hundreds of children in those schools? Shame I say, big shame.
When Lamido Sanusi spoke about education as a way to the future in the North, politicians began to castigate him, now, that's the problem with Nigeria, nobody want to know the truth when especially it bites them.
I have seen Germans, English, Japanese, Koreans and now Chinese developed their own parts of the world to such great extents, I've never seen them affirm they are the best among equal, it has always been that they are better than Africans or so.Now, among the very people to whom fame is pleaded to smile are those raising their voices of being the best! Best in what...IQ? Igbo need to think well before they come up with such unscientific and unproven stuffs.

Let me commend the painstaking compilation of all these materials, thumb up. There's nothing wrong in beating one's own drum but its appalling most of the data reeled out were selectively anointed to back an aggregation of half truths, already denounced and checkmated conclusions based on racist ideology or ethnocentric jabs.
There is nothing to show or that Igbo are better than other ethnic groups on Nigeria. How do you prove your higher IQ or intelligence in the areas of:
1. Governance and community organization both historically and in contemporary times
2. Nation's economic model to show the world a superior working model
3. Ease of rising from poverty to wealth among its populace that is both sustainable and dependable to carry generations in a more competitive societies
4. The socio cultural footprints that the superiority
5. The low level of social vices that depict socioeconomic advancements
6. How the Igbo are organized in modern society and what superior and better organized institutions can be said to belong to the igbo of which no other group has attained in equal proportions in religion, sciences, technology, academia, professional fields etc

If anyone can take a deeper look at this, the Igbo can't say they are number one in all things and they can't be number one in Nigeria.
The Igbo are very popular in trading( buying and selling) but they aren't the only people that buy and sell in Nigeria and there's no exclusive sectors of the economy that gives them up to 40% of GDP of the sector.
I read in one of the articles that crime rate is also high among southern Nigerians much higher among the igbo, why not seek to unravel such too.
As good as all these information would have been, it should have been limited to the exploits of igbo and it doesn't make igbo better.
In Nigeria of today, if the country were to be divided along major ethnic regions to become country, where would you want to do business?
The op and his ers have demonstrated an ethnic glorification that will even make angels weep!
Even among Nigeria communities abroad, the Igbo may be doing well, obviously many of them are, but, proportionately they are no better than other groups or how do you rate less than 200 exam results in GCSE above almost a thousand cumulatively even when performance of top rated students was at par! I only pity those who would want to build on these data to chest beat about unfounded superiority.

The story touches Eboes(Ibo), Ogene(somewhere in Delta or Onisha) considering the Ogidi people. Great story

Humble, Godly and helped by God, I've always love this man and his wife. Quite exemplary!

No monstrously punitive measures are too much including capital punishment. Anything that can stop corruption should be welcomed.
Corruption has actually been killing Nigerians from death resulting from poor medications to road accidents, joblessness etc. Corruption is the root cause of all these and the corrupt have killed more people yearly than Boko Haram, aborted destinies in the Mediterranean sea, turn their flesh to sands on the Sahara and transformed many to beggars but because if commuted to prison they have millions , even billions to settle warders to either enjoy luxury in there or break free, they will want endless court trials and prison life.
Corruption kills and, it must be killed
