Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This is a survey research to obtain the opinions of staff and students of secondary schools in Delta State of Nigeria on the corruption in the country. It is a replica study of an earlier one carried out among primary school teachers. Secondary school teachers are part of the societal agents charged with the character development of citizens. Analysis of available data indicated that both staff and students agree that there is corruption in Nigeria and that Nigerians are corrupt. They both disagree on the assertions that: all Nigerians are corrupt; only men are corrupt ; and, men are more corrupt than women in Nigeria. The most noticeable causes of corruption identified by respondents are poor income, unemployment,, corrupt leadership, greed, selfishness, prevalence of bribery and desire to openly spend money in public gatherings. A strong emphasis on moral and religious education for character building and civic/citizenship education is advocated as a long-term antidote to the evils of corruption in Nigeria.
