THE NEED FOR STATUTORY IDENTIFCATION DOCUMENT FOR EVERY MAJOR INDEPENDENT AND MINOR DEPENDENT CITIZENS DECLARING ONE'S STATUTORY POSITION AND RESPONSIBILTIES AS A MEANS TO CURB CORRUPTION IN THE SOCIETY

Using Nigeria as case study, Nigerian is a nation comprising both major and minor citizens. The major citizens according to the constitution are those above 18 years who are no more dependent on parental care, they have come up to the age reasoning, especially to work and earn for their living as well as taking their own decisions as they wish. These calibers are responsible for everything they engage themselves as well as bear the burden of risk behind their ventures or decisions alone. They are deemed fit by the constitution as martured citizens to handle these. While Minor citizens are teenager of under 18 years who are still under parental care. These minor citizens are subject to their guardian for direction and dictation as well as provisions and supports for their prospects. This is where we get the first school leavers and WAEC holders. They are statutory students who are still under parental care, and their punishment is subject to their guardians as supported by the constitution. They are not entitle to enter legal contract of any kind because they are not deemed fit mentally sound by the constitution to execute it. This is why below 18 years are nt permited to cast vote in Nigeria or excercise their franchise. Another group that make up  the minors are the imbeciles, the lunatics (persons of unsound mind) and the insane persons. These class also cannot sign or initiate contract talk more of executing it. One thing about these minors is that you cannot sue them based on any offense or ommission they commit contrary to the constitution neither are they empowered to sue because they are not yet mentally appreciated by law to do that.

Now, based on the above facts, there is need for every citizens to possess a statutory declaration document of one's responsibility to oneself, one's state and nation and the society at large. This is a means to minimizr and curb corruption because so many people move about predating illegally on what belongs to other citizens who are responsible in their own fields. The reason for this is that it is good you define what is your hobby with objectives by statutory court affidavit and Identity card issued by government or private sector you are responsible to, as means or medium of earnings. This will help to know who is joensing as a robber and who is actually responsible working for the good of the society and the nation. These statutorily documents does not exempt  your trade certificates, your university  degree certificate, Your Duty ID Card either as an apprentice or company staff. Events should possess ID Card that you are still in the school. The need for this is to stop giving rooms to idle moments or idleness, when someone does not have focus on a specific assignment that person will not know when he/she begins to step on people's toes out of ignorant just because he he/she has nothing doing or has deviated from his own wing of primary objectives. One can achieve this by unnecrssary gossip, especially on how to plunder what belongs to others, but that is a lazy persons ideology, but if you can study and analyze such habits, you will com to understand that lawlessness degenerates from not having something good to lay hands as a handiwork and make good money to better living.

So, there is need for every citizens to engage in a meaningful work to keep life comfortable. This is why people go to school, learn a good trade and become focused on their fields so that they can make money with it to sustain life rather than eyeing what belongs to others that worked hard to achieve. This type of habitats constitute the route to fraudulent activities in this nation Nigeria leading to what is called ghost working in civil service in Nigeria. You see one person as a senior official doing the work of 5 persons who are being paid the same salary range. The Nigerian Police Force should endeavor to look into this demands, and make sure that every citizens have a statutorily court drclaration identity specifying one's duty, activities and other events as a major bonafide citizen of Nigeria, even with an identity card or driving license, this is because many notorious citizens moves around everywhere at the odd hours of the day looking where and how they cam take what belongs to others unnoticed. More especially in this digital age where people make use of ICT gadget to steal even from financial institutions like banks and other finance houseshouses. So there is need to chek if one is empowered by certifications tp enter online business transactions 24/7. There are some certificate to check like CISCO ( CCNA), that empowers ICT professionals as well as Web Devrlopment Certificate from reputable institution that proves that your duty post is online and that you are professionally empowered to operate online. Anything short of this, the person remains a suspect if he operates online business 24/7 without company ID Card empowernment from His company or a distant learning ID card from your school overseas. Anything short this, thevperson should be deemed a fraudster if he/she uses online as a medium for making money outside Teleworking. Teleworking means working online from your comfort zone as well as earning from the company you are working for, may be overseas or within the country but it must be far distance transanctions before engaging it as teleworking.

Just like my previous article, I wrote about enslavement and forced labor contrary to section 34 of Nigeria constitution, neglecting this statutorily declaration steps to curb the corrupt practices of non-entities can result to inhuman and degrading treatments especially to innocent citizens who may be ignorant of such corrupt hidden activities. Based on this facts, let us join hand fight corruption in our nation. Also you are free to comment on this atticle as empowered by section 39 of Nigerian Constitution. Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria, long live Nations of the world.
