Prolific writer Prof. Wole Soyinka says that he is confident that corruption will be tackled in Nigeria despite the fact that corruption has chosen to fight back. Prof. Soyinka said this when he was paid a visit by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, at his residence in Lagos today January 9th, 2016.
"We have not had a case where it had been alleged and increasingly proven that money supposed to be spent on defending ourselves, our nation, our neighbourhood, has been shared among individuals. We never had experience where we were in a state of critical emergency where children are being kidnapped under our noses. Never had there been a situation where we are helpless and our soldiers are sent to the front to defend our very existence and we are not backing them up with conduct that shows integrity and commitment. Because of these reasons, corruption is really desperate and has chosen to fight back, but I am confident that corruption will be tackled," Soyinka said.
He advised the Federal Government not to relent in its effort at bringing all those who looted the nation’s treasury to justice, adding that it should not be cowed by deliberate attempts to frustrate the anti-corruption crusade. 
he is definitely correct! when corruption fights against corruption, it means corruption is fighting against itself. May God help this country!
