THE SAD STORY OF POLICE COLLEGE, IKEJA – Segun G. Adeyemi I have said it several times that corruption is an opportunistic crime in Nigeria. What this means is that an average Nigerian will perpetrate corruption if given the least opportunity.

Hervorzuheben ist aber, dass er zur Schule geht und sehr gut integriert ist. Dieser Gesichtspunkt ist deshalb für die hier zu treffende Entscheidung von erheblicher…
