Na true you yan so, I no even get believe sey this country go better again, because na since my childhood dem dey talk sey one day e go better and everyday e dey get worst, so which day e go com better?  both government and citizens we dey corrupt, all this problem tek start from our government, na dem make citizens involved for dis misconduct. See as yahoo boys dey increase everyday, children of nowadays no con dey get passion for skul again, and na dem go be d leaders of tomorrow so if dey com get opportunity to rule the country how dem go com get sympathy for people? Me I dey always feel sey the right tym wey our leaders supposed fix the country don pass but I still hope for the best.

Leaders of tomorrow keh ?, When the same people who has been in government are still the same people we are seeing now. Politics in this country has become a profession, as those in power don't even want to involve themselves in other things outside that. I think this is a reflection of why the youths don't want to get skill, but rather see fraud as a reigning means to survive, which is not in anyway too different from politics.  No moral values in this current society because the government who ought to show good examples are toying around.

I agreed with your facts that the leaders who ruled yesterday are still the same faces we see ruling today because youths are not being given opportunities. However, this shouldn't be the reason we give up that youths won't take over one day because our fates are not meant to be the same, and if you're not careful, the youths who are misbehaving now will have an opportunity to rule one day. Just imagine of how the  country will change negatively.

How will youths learn skills if they do not have support? Many youths today have no desire of learning skills because they believe they will only make a small amount of money. Instead, they are all focused on how to become millionaires overnight, which has led many of them to engaged in fraudulent activities.

What you see I child do is learnt from his elders and parents while growing up so our youths have become who they are all because of our so called political leaders has been doing over the years imagine one person stealing billions of naira with properties all over the country and investment abroad with his wife and children schooling in the best schools in the world and when they come to the country they move about with security personnel who intimidate innocent Nigerian so the younger generation too will have to look for a way on how they will survive and make money and live their life's like that of the politicians so nobody should blame the youths on what has happened in the country as they has only learn it from the political leaders from the country while growing up

Corruption are common, and there is no accountability for those who practice misconduct. Many people feels there is a culture all that allows bad behavior to go unpunished. One way to solve misconduct in Nigeria is by increasing the transparency and accountability.

It is unfortunate that, as you mentioned, corruption pervades all sectors of Nigeria, and everyone sees opportunities as a means to accumulate wealth, giving the impression that corruption is the only attitude passed down from generation to generation. This has given the impression that those few who do not engage in corruption are viewed as fools and thus are not celebrated.

Everyone wants to be corrupt in order to survive, which explains the country's high rate of misconduct. Nobody is held accountable for his misconduct, and those who are forced to be accountable after holding a specific portfolio are forced to do so not for the interest of the country, but rather to witch-hunt an enemy.

Misconduct is a major problem in Nigeria, and it's affected buy a wide range of areas, from education to politics and businesses. Corruption are common, and there is no accountability for those who practice misconduct. Many people feels there is a culture all that allows bad behavior to go unpunished. One way to solve misconduct in Nigeria is by increasing the transparency and accountability. Like there focus on the information about government spending, should be made public. There should be strict enforcement of anti corruption laws. Additional business should do well as to encourage ethical behavior, educational institution should also promote ethics and integrity. Are there other way to address misconduct in Nigeria?

Misconduct is a very serious problem which the  country is really suffering from. Inorder t address this issue I believe that strict disciplinary committee should be set up. No own should be above the discipline. The rule of law state that everyone is equal before the law, so therefore everyone should be equal is one engage in misconduct even if it it the president of a country he or she should be severely punished.

Welcome to 9ja the home of bribery and corruption. Even if a disciplinary committee is set up it still would make no difference because the right will still be able to bribe their way through in extreme cases, they may even pin the case on a less privilege or poorer citizens.
With the way the country is I don't think misconduct is something that can easily be dealt with in the country.

When bathing, the water is poured on the head, and it flows down the body to the feet.
Handling corruption in the country should start from the leaders in the country, from the President to his Vice, governors, councilors, chairmen, Senates, even down to the military sector and all other government officials outside leadership (like in the educational system, health sector, power sector etc.) of the country. If this new body can maintain its stand in checkmating the proper functionality of the entire bodies that needs checking. When the citizens see proper punishments given to those in power, they will adjust to every new rule given them, with failure to these rules, punishment for such failure will be implemented.

This is the first step for a country seeking to progress and rise above corruption. Corruption is on the rise because corrupt people have government backing, so corruption will always exist. Even when people are appointed to fight corruption, they only appear to fight corruption or target opponents of the current government.

When individuals in government are willing to bring about the greatest happiness of the greatest number, then every other unit will work well because when people are happy, they function better and commit fewer crimes, including corrupt practices. 

[Mate2237]

The law is against the citizens of Nigeria and the politicians can do anything and go free. And what causes the misconduct is the misappropriation of funds and nepotism. Those who are ready to develop the country and ready to work in the country are not accepted in the institutions to develop the country and those who are really ready to work and speak for the country are tagged as bad legislators and when can see that in the present National House of Assembly.

For Nigeria to come out from this mess. APC have to be removed and the present leadership. Akpabio is not for the citizens but for the executive.

In practice, I agree that Nigerian law is geared toward the poor. I have seen the rich break the law and not be prosecuted, but the poor are treated differently. When it comes to the poor, the law is clear; when it comes to the rich, however, it is interpreted to protect the rich.

In Nigeria, politics has been misinterpreted. It is now a money-making channel rather than a channel for national promotion. In fact, even when a leader is doing the right thing, some people are frustrated because they do not have access to the country's treasury.

Truly politics is misunderstood not by the people but for those that called themselves the politicians because they believe that since they have become a politician they can never be the same as others and will no longer be touchable and that the purpose of there work is extortion, however in as much as two party is our problem removing them cannot also solve any problem because there so many other parties to join and continue there deed from there so is very hard to run away from those people.

It is bad that people going into politics only for selfish reason. This is why regardless of the change of government things still continue to go bad. Politicians have this mentality that once they attain the position of leadership, it is their turn to syphon public wealth at the detriment of the masses.

Even if leadership is rotated across parties, it changes nothing because the mindset of all politicians are the same. Politicians will always sugar coat their speech to make them appear different but on winning it is still the same kind of leader we have always had.

Like seriously, talking about disciplinary committee in Nigeria. When it comes to setting up disciplinary committee in Nigeria even the system of government need discipline. And if the disciplinary committee cannot hold the government accountable, what is the point of disciplining the citizen. The government can bribe the disciplinary committee to silence them, even if the government is guilty. They only have the power to discipline the poor who can't offer them anything. But what can I say?  "INJUSTICE" that is another name for Nigeria. All this is an act of misconduct.

Exactly, the issue of misconduct can be address from the top to the bottom, from the government down to the citizens. If the government is well disciplined then the citizens will also learn from them. Because the government sets the tone for the country and also contribute greatly to misconduct in the country, yet they feel superior thinking that no one can hold them accountable for their mistakes, because they have what it takes to shout their mouth. If the leaders didn't engage in illegal activities, than the citizens would be less likely to participate in such activities as well.

We can have this discussion all the day but nothing will change in the country because is a national problem to our society and out of 100 percent population of the country 80 percent has it, misconduct is not even only about looting money as the politicians in the government is doing but about the way of life's of some people, stealing other people's belongings, lying to cover their bad deeds, using other people's identity to disguise themselves, there are so many other things I have not mention yet and a lot of people has it.

When people are happy and every necessity of life is made available, the rate of corruption in the society will reduce. When there is job for the masses, everyone will be busy, doing something, and at that, no one will have the time or chance to think or do things of ill report. Bad eggs are always found in the society, there will be crimes, but at this little pace, it can be easily tackled, but for the government to follow the laws which they laid down is a problem, and which is affecting the people of the country.

It is certain that corruption cannot be stopped in a country, cause even in developed countries today, they still have corruption in their system, but it is not made public for other countries to easily see or figure out. The leaders of the country knows exactly what to do for this country to be well recognized amongst others, but their self-centeredness has blinded their eyes against anything that is good.
