Corruption is a serious problem and has become part and parcel of Nigerians but it is very sad to know that this terrible sickness has indeed given our country Nigeria a bad name and image. But I believe in our country and all her citizens and know for sure that we all will join hands to eradicate this terrible disease before it shadows us all. This fight is a big one and can not be won by an individual, but by collective means. We are called upon to join anti-graft agencies to help combat corruption.
 
The EFCC is at its best in the fight against corruption. The fight against corruption is at the centre of our governance challenge as a country. Though recently the EFCC have been attacked in various ways but the EFCC chairman Mrs Farida Waziri, has promised not to shrink away from such an important responsibility because of threats by the very people whose conduct has inflicted unimaginable damage on the economy and avoidable poverty on our people at large.
 
She, therefore, called on Nigerians to speak out against this dangerous development which, if not addressed, will generate into a much wider problem and signal a situation of hopelessness and lawlessness. Some people do not want to agree with the work the EFCC are doing but others who see corruption as a bane to development in Nigeria have seen and will nod that the EFCC is doing pretty job.
 
 The commission has developed and deployed “Eagle Claw”. Eagle’s claw is a soft that sniffs out all fraudulent e-mails and monitors them with the option of shutting down such mails. A software that will change the face of fighting cyber crime ( 419) in Nigeria and the world.. This means that all 419 e-mails generating from Nigeria will either be monitored or be shut down.
 
So far reports by PC world, an international news website about technology, based in the United states (US) and United Kingdom(UK) stated that internet scammers are leaving the country and relocating to neighboring countries in the west African region this has up lifted the image of Nigeria region.
 
 It is mere greed, loneliness and the desire to make quick money that push people into this sort of crimes. any way the EFCC has tried so much and has gone  as far as tracking this scammers and are have been able to recover some of the money from scammers and the monies are paid back to the victims. Kudos should be given to EFCC before now it was perceived that 419 originated from Nigeria, there is now a growing perception that those involved are now relocating to neighboring countries, this I think is a
good development and thus I encourage us all to join in this fight so Nigeria can regain its good image and grow better for the good of all.
