INTRODUCTION
Looking at our world today, I must say the w the prophesy recorded at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 has been fulfilled or is fulfilling which show that we're in the last days especially the place that said "people will be lovers of money, haughty and having no natural affection" because everywhere is full of bribery and corruption and it's affecting our society badly.
BRIBERY
Bribery is said to be the act of making illegal payment to people in higher authorities or place in order to influence and persuade them to change their decision or thoughts on certain matters.
CORRUPTION
Corruption is the act of impairing integrity, virtue or moral principles, the state of being corrupted or debased, loss of purity or integrity, depravity, wickedness, impurity and bribery.
Bribery and corruptionworks together due to the fact that men no longer value their integrity because of love of money, material things, possession and greediness etc.
REASONS FOR INCREASED BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
The rate at which crime, corruption and Bribery is accelerating in Nigeria is shocking and especially from those who we consider to be Men and women of integrity. People like the police, navy who claims to be our security personnel do collect bribes in order to allow the exportation and importation of dangerous and adulterated goods in and out of the country. Judges in the court are now looking at personality and charisma before passing judgement in order to favor someone who is guilty of a serious crime either by protecting the person from the law or by decreasing the sentences thereby increasing crime and corruption in the country. Love of money has lead youths into kidnapping and money rituals just to fulfill their desires. Girls engage themselves in prostitution to get money and as well students who seat for an examination engage in examination malpractices just to make the best results. Coming to election and democracy of the country, wrong leaders are choosen because of the fact that people have been influenced and intimidated with cash or in kind to vote for a particular candidate. All these leads to increased rate of Bribery and corruption in the country.
CONSEQUENCES OF CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY
In a nutshell, corruption increases inequality, decreases popular accountability and political responsiveness and produces rising frustration and hardship among citizens. On the other hand, bribery leads to poverty and inequality, personal kiss, intimidation and inconvenience, failure in infrastructure, impunity and partial justice etc.
CONCLUSION
In contrary to what I said in my introductory part, to be honest I don't think Bribery and corruption can be eliminated again in the country until God's kingdom because it is among Bible prophecies, but it is important as well for everyone to keep a simple eyes and avoid the love of money because it is the root of all evil. Thanks.

Sometimes bribery and corruption can be reduced by simply speaking up, but it is not always as easy as that. Sometimes people are forced to bribe or corrupt people due to lack of opportunity.

For a bribe to work, it has to be large enough that the person doing the paying doesn't mind the cost and it has to be given to someone who is in a position of power. #4Times7

I admire your bold attempt in making the post. Am aware that the topic is very complex and has many dimensions. Some of the allusions needed to be supported with evidence. We cannot just be comfortable with for example the general impression that police collect bribe, it is not enough. I think everyone is neck deep into this. The effect is there for us to see in the lack of infrastructure in our country. It erodes the resources for developing the country. Have you wondered why the crime of bribery and corruption is not reported to the authorities such as the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC), the EFCC or the Nigerian Police. Lastly, Does it exist in the private sector, that is among people who are not public servants?

Bribery and corruption is a societal problem, it cuts across every where. From the government, public and private sectors, schools, markets and even religious communities, one way or another it is being practiced. The disheartening aspect of this is that those who are supposed to be fighting it are actually the ones pioneering it.
