after a while it gets impossible to do politics without dealing in corruption, but dad won a local government election with 80% of the vote, and the then governor just 'appointed' his girlfriend to the position out of nowhere and nobody could do shit.
I think a more educated ruling class, preferably western educated, would solve the problem of corruption to a great degree
as well as automation. don't let individuals deal with public money, there's technology and machinary that can do that for them.
in nigeria if the federal government wants to build something that have to pay the local government chairmen the money to give to the company and the local gov chairman just pockets the money.
why not just have the company build it and withdrawal it from a private account.
also, extreme privatization. africa is a different place then here. School need to be privatized, hospitals, roads, ect, once you give ppl the ability to make money off of something the thing skyrockets exponentially in africa
the private schools hospitals and roads are the best built best maintained and you can't be corrupt about you own business unless your personally just stealing money but then your hurting your own profit so fuck it in the long run so fuck it.
