Communicating Change Onoriode Victor Onakpoberuo

The articles, perspectives and ideas here were written out of the earnest desire to contribute to the on-going effort at eradicating corruption and promoting social integration and mutual development through communicating Anti-Corruption and Good Leadership Values. The motivation is to inspire selflessness, collectivism and patriotism, which are essential characteristics required in the development of a Nation. It is hoped that those who read these articles will arise to the call and obligation to build Nigeria into a nation where each citizen is honoured and valued irrespective of status, religion, ethnicity or education. It is also hoped that young people who read this work will be motivated to become creative thinkers, readers and writers and problem solvers; that they will see the necessity to become bold and courageous in postulating their original ideas about national affairs, politics, education, science, technology etc. This work is a nonacademic literary approach to addressing various lingering social and economic challenges of Nigeria, especially in the areas of corruption and development. It is divided into 7 parts focused on a specific subject matter. Each of the seven parts is composed of articles addressing an aspect of the main subject matter. For example, the first part has the theme, "Sundry Thoughts". In this section I have included original quotes from known authors, leaders and ideas, inspirational thoughts on various issues I have had in the course of writing for 20 years. Part 2 looks at the subject of; Education and National Development; Part 3 is on Corruption and National Development; Part 4 is on National Rebirth; Part 5 is on Recruitment and Leadership Selection; Part 6 is on Humanitarian Ideals and Religion, while Part 7 focuses on Poetic Verses on Personal evolution, Social change, Terror and Corruption.
