They must know that there is a major difference between the kind of corruption in Nigeria and the kind of corruption in such nations as Switzerland, Norway, or Japan. The Swiss leaders bank and invest in their own country thereby creating jobs for their own people. While Nigerians subject their own people to pay bribes for services in Nigeria, it is very unlikely to see a foreigner subjected to paying bribes in Nigeria. While Nigerians are often held up at police checkpoints in their own country by their own policemen for not possessing receipts of items they bought in the past, foreigners are naturally exempt from such harassment in Nigeria. T here is another good reason for comparing Nigeria and Nigerians to other nations and their people.
Many nations have, sometime in the past, experienced wars, just as Nigeria.
African nations had experienced similar problems in Nigeria. We need to know how they got out of their predicaments. For instance, Nigeria used to be Ghana s safe-Haven, just as the U.S. is for Mexico. Today, the reverse is almost the case some Nigerians are now seeking greener pasture in Ghana. Our people must know these facts, and they can only know them when we do comparative analysis with respect to developments.
