Ghana is now globally acknowledges as an example of a
success story in the African continent. Ghana has transformed from (and
continues to transform) into a respectable and responsible member of the
international community, making giant strides in virtually all spheres of human
and societal advancement.
We must however not forget that it took a drastic sanitation
and cleansing of the corrupt rulership in the Ghanaian polity during the
President Rawlings-era to build the necessary foundations that founds Ghana’s
present prosperity.
The Nigerian superstructure, its core institutions (the
Executives at various strata’s, its Judiciary and the legislature) are enmeshed
in corruption that has transformed Nigeria into a danger and an embarrassment
to its citizenry, the African continent and a potent source of threat to global
security.
Perhaps
the time has come when we begin to sensitize the international community and
the world-at-large about the need and possibility for a drastic (Rawlings-type)
solution to the corruption pandemic afflicting the Nigerian contraption!
