Nigerians React After South Korean Ex President Is Jailed

Corruption is any country is a disaster, as it's impede the growth of such country since the leaders engaged in embezzlement of funds which were supposed to be used for the country development.

This corrupt politicians need strict laws enforced on them granting a penalty for such crime, which would see that punishment are instilled on leaders who are involved in corrupt practices, without the option of bribing their way out.


South Korea as a country had prosecuted their Ex president who ruled from the year 2008 to the year 2013, he was found guilty of corruption and had been sentenced to a 17 year jail time in the country.

It was claimed that the president collected bribe for one of the leading telecommunications company, and also granted a presidential pardon to another corrupt man who should have been tried for his crimes, giving an excuse for his actions.


The former president was said to have embezzled billions of won, and he is the second ex president to go to jail for corrupt practices after office.

Nigeria need to enforce the law on corrupt leaders in the government, so as to reduce such practices in public offices as the reason why South Korea just have 2 cases of such is because they are strict on issue pertaining to corruption.




Nigerians seeing this had reacted to the news, as many claim that such wasn't possible in Nigeria, as they claim many of our corrupt leaders walk free without fear.

Some user claimed that it can never happen in their country as they know their leaders and what they are capable of, the judicial system needs to be fixed as the first step of fighting corruption.
