Brimah, Aminu N,Bolaji, Ibrahim A,Ibikunle, Owolabi H

It is a truism that an average Nigerian does not view politics as an act of social administration, but that of self administration having seen the series of insanity exhibited by our leaders’ tagged administration. To worsen the situation, the judiciary and the media whom are viewed as the last hope of the common man pass ridiculous judgment in political litigations as well as praise sing the government of the day. The case of the legislatures is even terrible because the entire fund that would have been invested in social development goes into their kitty. This paper examines the dimensions of corruption by our leaders in social administration. It marvel's at the way politicians treat citizens generally whom for their sake they claim to be in power. It however submits that for the country to experience meaningful development there is the need to re–discuss our democracy for the common man to enjoy the dividends of democracy.
