Corruption!
Corruption is like a dangerous cancer that kills a nation gradually.
It may be difficult to be noticed by admirers.
It live in human beings who practice it and destroys everything important with dominant power that is difficult for the individual to accept the other way-round; or anything that will expose it.
Those who are corrupt, hardly accept a turn around.
They continue with everything possible; just to maintain hiding the cancer already eating up the truth they will never accept others to expose.
A corrupt individual or nation, needs more than a Doctor.
A doctor, who is ready at the most critical moment to continue with exposing the hidden cancer eating up the host; knowing too well, that exposing the cancer, will bring the desired changes required to attract researchers who has the anti-dote.
Researchers! Are technical individuals who spend more time on a particular issue of utmost importance to them, people or nation.
Most of the time, because of the nature of research, they fall into a group recognized as: “Think-tanks.“
Think-Tanks!
Think-Tanks are special species of individuals or group, who spend more time, without rest, working day and night on National issues; most times, with their own resources.
They use their own resources, because they never want to be interrupted by corrupt elements.
Corruption will always Manifest, whenever they are at the pick of the solution to heal the cancer eating up the host.
Now, how do we identify a nation and those who are cancerous? And Think-tanks who has the anti-dotes?
