To an ordinary Nigerian<br />
Corruption:-may be defined as a process of dishonestly or fraudulent conduct by those in power(Government), typically involving bribery and embezzlement of the public funds.<br />
<br />
Frankly speaking corruption goes beyond bribery an Embezzlement of public funds by government officials  alone. It encapsulate all illicit contractual agreement between ordinary man which has been tagged as Give and Take or give what you have for what you want.<br />

Corruption is a widely spread virus amidst the Nigerians. Corruption has eaten so deep to the extent that when you find someone who is not corrupt it becomes surprising.<br />
<br />
Couses of corruption.<br />
*1* poverty<br />
*2* Greediness<br />
*3* poor education and illiteracy.<br />
<br />
*1:-poverty:<br />
corruption is boosted by poverty when the basic needs of a common man is not available to him at that point in time.<br />
<br />
*2:-Greediness:<br />
when the desire for accumulation of wealth becomes widespread then corruption is compulsory. Political positions are often wealthy and powerful due to the huge amount of funds allocated to political office holders.
therefore a greedy individual get the notion and perceive the attainment of political post.<br />
<br />
*3:poor Education and illiteracy:
  when the number of educated persons in a society is high they will be gainfully employed and will have a good understanding of consequence of corruption.
<br />
*Authorities from the Glorious Qur'an and the holy bible that disregard corruption.<br />
*The Glorious Qur'an.<br />
“By  Allah well ye know that we came not to make mischief in the land and we are not thieves”(Surah Yusuf vs 73)<br />
“Then is it to be expected of you if ye were put in Authority that ye will not do mischief in the land and break your ties of kinship” (surah Muhammad 22).<br />
<br />
*Holy Bible.<br />
“woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers,children given to corruption ”(Isaiah 1:4)<br />
“They have sunk deep into corruption as in the days of Gibeah, God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins” (Hosea 9:9).<br />
<br />
*WAYS TO SAVE YOURSELF FROM CORRUPTION.<br />
*1* Transparency.<br />
*2* Contentment  with what one has or can afford.<br />
*3* Empower citizens<br />
*4* Deal justly with the duties assigned to you<br />
*5* Be a pious Muslim or Christian<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />
WHO ARE THE NUPES?
Research shows that Nupencizhi or Nupes originated from Nubia to the current areas of their settlement.
Researchers discovered that most languages have their aboriginal roots for communication before generation upon generation corrupted some languages to be what we see today.
The ancestor of Nupencizhi or Nupes was Ugba bin Annafi who was originally from Nubia. He migrated to different areas before he finally came to Nigeria to settle. His ancestral language was Nubia, then Nufa and now it has been totally corrupted into Nupe.
Nupe is one of the languages of KWA GROUP of Africa which included many other languages like Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ejaw, Hubris, Shuwa, Kanuri, and others.
Researchers also stressed that Nupe people came from Massar or Egypt. The proof of this is the ancient glass industry of Nupe Land. The industry is still active in it, is the existence of many artifacts at Masaga in Bida, Niger State of Nigeria.
Nupe people before 15th century settled at riverine areas of Niger - areas or Nigeria in West Africa. They were people with unique culture, headed by a traditional leader called Ezhitso or Zhitsu as we call them today.
When Nupencizhi got to Nigeria, they first of all settled at Nku, then Nupeko, then, Essan, then Ewu, then Tafyan, then Yessa, then Kpanjuru, then Gbara, then Gaba, then Yida, then Towagi, then Bida and later spread all over the country. The above mentioned communities were politically independent of one another. However, they were strongly linked together economically.
Nupes had over 500 villages and towns as a result of disputes back then. What mostly led to the establishment of a new village was as a result of either the elder brother in the family wanting to be the head first, to rule the community or the younger brother desirous of being the head first to rule the community. They were impatient to one another. Some instances were as a result of traveling, farming, witch craft and waging of war against each other. You can notice villages in kin Nupe today that have similar names. Some have only slight differences like:-<br />
1. Wasagi of Agaie LG, Wasagi of Katcha LG, Wasagi of Gbako LG,<br />
2. Tafyan of Agaie LG, Tafyan of Gbako LG. Another examples are<br />
3. Sallawu woro, Sallawu Gbako, Kuci woro, Kuci Gbako etc<br />
These show that the above named villages have the same roots but later got separated due to disagreement within themselves.<br />

CLASSES OF NUPES<br />

Nupe Bini which is the central Nupe Language for communication is almost the same with Gede. The differences are not that deep, unlike those of the sub-groups of Nupes, that's Nupe Kin Takozhi that understand Bini and Gede and can speak the dialect accurately.<br />

Nupe people occupy several towns and villages across the states of Niger, Kwara, Kogi, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. A good number of Nupe speaking people can also be found in other towns across the country with a considerable number of them being in Kaduna, Kano, Benin, Onitsha and Lagos.<br />
Anthropologists have observed that the Nupe ethnic group is the second largest minority tribe in Nigeria.<br />
This gift no doubt is from God Almighty and must be appreciated by all Nupe sons and daughters. <br />
The gift of Number is a potential that must be harnessed to its fullest for the benefit of the Nupes and the nation at large. Indeed, the population of the Nupes and it's Sub-tribes is sufficient to propel the political advancement, economic development, and social upliftment of the entire populace. <br />
The only impetus towards achieving the underlining goals is however, the unity of purpose amongst the Nupe people.<br />
Though, Nupe people are known to have attained several heights in different fields of endeavors in Nigeria and are believed to be ethnocentric wherever they find themselves, the unity of purpose for the common good is still lacking.<br />
If truth must be told, the traditional institutions of Nupe people are working tirelessly to ensure that Nupe Cultural activities progress day in day out. On this regard, we must say kudos to Etsu Nupe Alhaji Dr. Yahaya Abubakar for introducing Nupe Cultural Day 11 years ago. The Etsu Nupe did that to bring all Nupencizhi together irrespective of their religion and location. And if you look at this initiative, its not only existing across Nigeria, it's also included a fiesta of wedding ceremony, naming ceremony, schools cultural days like the one we are celebrating today and others.
Finally, I will like to call on parents to encourage their children to go to school. They should speak their mother tongue at homes and other places. When children speaks their immediate language, learning is always easier.<br />
I also wish to thank the management of New Horizons Nursery and Primary School, the indefatigable Headmistress; Hajiya Fatima Popo Ola, members of staff, students and parents for this wonderful opportunity to stand before you all and deliver this brief talk on History and Culture of the Nupe People.<br />
Thanks for listening. And in case you wish to enroll your children to learn how to read and write in NUPE, we teach Nupe Language every weekend, precisely on Saturdays at Fati Lami Abubakar Institute for Legal and Administrative Studies, Kpakungu Minna Niger State, by 9:00am.
Once again, I am Adamu Idris Manarakis (Nupe Indigenous Writer) and Tashiru Nupe.<br />
I wish you a successful Maiden Cultural Day Celebration.<br />
THANK YOU!"
