Most aftrican societies have a common challenge: corruption. Most of the blame have been credited to the political leaders over the years but in recent times, people have started considering the role of the common man in the problem that plagues our society: corruption.

The upper class oppressing the lower class seem to be impossible in today's social setting without the cooperation of part of the people in the lower class. Fela Anikulapo once said, "it is bad when the whites oppress the blacks, but when the blacks oppress the blacks, that's worse."

This is a remake of a sculpture I made in 2018 and it was made into drawing because this thought is still very much relevant and the truth should be investigated. I with the piece ask the question, who is the Spoiler?

Most of the political leaders of today were once common men and it will be thesame story decades to come. If anything should be fixed, is it at the top, with the common man or both parties?
