Bribery and corruption are one of the major problems that the world generally is facing and the more we keep on going forward the more it's getting worse. Before I used to think that it was only those in power and authority that engage in this kind of act but as an adult, I have come to realize that we all are also involved in one way or the other, knowingly or unknowingly.
What do this bribery and corruption mean? Let's find out together.
•BRIBERY
It's the act of offering anything of value to a person to reward the person nicely for having acted. while
•CORRUPTION
Is the illegal conduct of those in power and authority, but I will also include both the masses here not only those in power.

What exactly are the major reasons for this kind of activity especially for those in power and authority, and why do they keep on in those acts. Many of them do it with the intention of what they will gain in return, without considering those that it will affect.
Honestly speaking in my country Nigeria one can't get a good-paying job without offering something for it to be done if you like carry all the first class to your father's house if don't know somebody who knows somebody you will remain jobless in your father's house for the rest of your life unless you are ready to do what others are doing which is offering money for you to get the job and this is the typical example of the bribery and corruption We are talking about.
Our leaders today are making things worse especially in this kind of act, currently, in my country, university students are on Asuu(Lecturer's) strike because the government is owing to the lecturers but you will see a leader or PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT paying some of hundred million just to become the next president while the students are still at home waiting for them to pay Asuu(Lecturer's) people what a country.
The case of a murderer area even worse, someone that killed a person goes Scott-free without being punished by the law the only thing they will be needing from the person is what is inside the pocket that's all this is someone that took a life of another.
What about in school especially at university.
I will be sharing something that happened to a friend of mine a long time ago at the university.
Let's Judge The case together.
Back then while she was still in the university there was this lecturer in their department handling one course like that and according to this my friend, she said that the lecturer used to fail his students no matter how good one write in his exams, she said that what they used to do then is after writing his exams before you submit your paper make sure there is money in your answer script if not that exam will be zero over hundred with your big head on the paper. This is what some students are passing through even now it's still happening with no hope that it will stop one day.
Bribery and corruption.
There is bribery and corruption everywhere in the schools, markets, and worship places i.e Church.
Church
I am sorry to say this but it is sad to know that this act of bribery and corruption is the worst in the church, for example, you will see a pastor faking Powers of healing and deliverance just to collect money from his members turning the house of God into something else that I can't figure out, every time they will seeking for money for the maintenance of the Church but year to year there will still be no change in the church you will be wondering are they not using the money for the church maintenance again which is very bad.
Market
You will see a market, women or men change the expiring date of some of their goods just for them to be sold, thereby selling expired products to the consumer which is very harmful to the body of that consumer after consumption.
Will there be any solutions for this to stop
My answer will be No because from the look of things I don't think it will ever stop, but let me say the solution should begin with me and you if we need a better world tomorrow let's join hands together to say NO to bribery and corruption. Our leaders and the government have a very big role to play because they are the major cause of this bribery and corruption.
I believe with hands together the world will try to change a little.
