Nigerian Politics and Corruption - Echekwu Kyrian Chukwuemeka
- The Challenges Before the Nigerian Church as a Socio-moral Actor
Corruption is alive and well in Nigeria—and it must be eliminated.
Moreover, the Nigerian church can no longer watch it go unchecked. Though conscious of his limitations as a priest and theologian, the author takes an in-depth look at how corruption has taken hold of Nigeria and its people in this scholarly work.
He challenges the church as a socio-moral actor and the civil authorities that govern Nigeria, arguing that the nation will collapse if corruption continues. He notes that even though the Nigerian people have lashed out against corruption, it has only gotten worse—either because morality has been relegated to the background or not enough has been done to inculcate morality into Nigeria’s politics.
The author employs a holistic approach in examining issues such as:
bishops and their vision of Nigeria vis-à-vis Nigerian politics;
democracy and the power equation among the various arms of government;
principal biases that characterize Nigerian politics; and
class affiliation and its impact in Nigerian politics.
Find out how corruption is ruining Nigeria, and discover how the church and government can work together to fix the problem in Nigerian Politics and Corruption.
