Corruption in Nigeria as it is in other nations facing the humiliating challenges of its evil is a topical burning issue. Aside its dysfunctionality to any developmental process, its associative moral odium has particularly compounded Nigeria's image problem both domestically and internationally. Predictably, this has elicited profound intellectual discourse of the corruption problematic. "The Weeping Child" is a book whose critical intervention is anchored on theological insights and thus represents a methodological departure from currents of analysis rooted on secular exposition on the subject matter.
