Africa/Global: "The morals of a looter"

Corruption is about far more than an envelope stuffed full of fivers in someone's back pocket. At its most extreme whole economies are destroyed by its pernicious influence. Oil rich Nigeria is a case in point, it is virtually impossible to life a normal live there without encountering corruption. As a result the economy is gravely affected, crime is rife, politics is a sick joke and at the top, people aren't just skimming off enough to top up their inadequate salaries, they are literally stealing billions. Western companies help developing countries to do this, Transparency International found that the most corrupt industries are arms, construction and oil.
