Talk:Corruption in Nigeria

message: Some specific criticisms: 
# The article is poorly written in general: the author rambles in an unprofessional manner, it contains numerous colloquialisms and questionable uses of other terms. 
# limited content: there is a brief introductory paragraph that mentions the advent of public administration and discovery of oil and gas as causes of corruption, but it does not provide a concise overview of the situation or the contents of the article, it is extremely disorganized. Then the "dynamics" section relies on "the culture argument" and mentions recent colonization as an imposed system that is too different from their tribal ways for Nigerian leaders to presently be able to overcome the urge to divert state resources. The remainder of the article is merely 1 section per administration with a 1 paragraph summary of the corruption during that time. Definitely room for expansion. 
# The article should include further information in the dynamics section to account for political, bureaucratic, judicial, economic causes of corruption, as well as the dynamics between federal, state, and local levels of government.
# Perhaps expand the article with more sub-topics (perhaps replacing the summary by administration, or reducing it to a timeline rather than the bulk of the page). 
* Suggested sub-topics: 
* i. There should be a summary of the country's political organization, levels of government and bureaucracy with a theoretical explanation of how this can lead to corruption, supplemented by examples of how it has.   
* ii. Oversight mechanisms: media and the judiciary, anti-corruption legislation, contract awarding processes and related regulations.   
* iii. A separate section for corruption in the oil and gas sector  
* iv. Use of the financial sector for corruption  
* v. state owned enterprises 
5. Citations: almost entirely reliant on newspaper articles... in fact, upon further investigation, many of the references aren't even from major newspapers, but rather no name websites that read more like blogs. There are some academic articles but they are not hyperlinked and most of them are from before 1990 (that explains the prominent place of the culture argument...).

message: It's all in the section title: this important topic needs a radical revision, particularly in the lede. It is incoherent, rambling, confusing and written in a personal essay-style. Beyond that, pretty much the whole article needs a lot of work.

thread_title:  Desperately Needs Lede Improvement 

message: A lot of improvement has been done. State level corruption is a main driver of corruption in Nigeria, so this has to be prominent on these pages. Societal corruption is in every society, and cannot be exactly contextualized by an article. In Nigeria, corruption is state prone and this is what the article focuses on primarily to name the major scandals and the cumulative impact of this on the society.
