This study was undertaken to find out if identifiable corrupt practices exist in tertiary institutions in Nigeria and to ascertain the damage they have done to tertiary education. Students and staff (academic and non-academic) of seven (7) tertiary institutions were randomly chosen as respondents to a validated open-ended questionnaire. The information obtained from them indicated that many corrupt practices are perpetuated by staff and students and these corrupt practices have done many evils to Higher Education in Nigeria. For instance, examination malpractices which are sustained by financial extortion/willing offerers and illicit sexual intercourse with female students result in the production of half-baked graduates and a lowering of academic standard.

Whispering is an art. Here voice is dropped. It is a mode of utterance. It is hearsay having unknown origin. It is a brief mention. All cannot whisper. One should learn its technique and way of representation and its proper and timely use. One must know both cause and effect of whisper. A novice whispers when he/she should speak loud and shouts when he/she should really whisper thus loses both ways rendering the entire project quite frustrated. A corrupted soul is guided by head, but an innocent soul is guided by heart. Emotion guides an innocent soul. But emotion misguides more than to guide. Thus a corrupted soul whispers seldom an innocent eloquent one.
