The problem of Nigeria is more of foolishness than corruption. Some of our forefathers may not have been educated but they were wise men and women.
Today, very many of the young, the old, even the educated ones exhibit foolishness that is beyond comprehension.
The ability to discern and make rationale decision is far from many individuals. One of the simplest things to do to show someone is not foolish is to confirm authenticity/ truthfulness of information before they share or act on it.
There are many ways to verify the information.
Awards are not given for being the first person to share information.
Verify info before you talk or share. How difficult is that?
