Abstract:
Globally, the quest to create corrupt free societies which promote human dignity and the
quality of life is greatly envisioned and desired. While highly critical, most efforts in the
fight against corruption, especially in Nigeria, tend to get hindered and absorbed in
inaccessible policies. This intensifies violence, injustice and pauperisation.
Nevertheless, using the ‘conflict paradigm’ within a socio-ecclesiological perspective,
this study demonstrates that preaching, especially prophetic preaching, has the tenacity
to foster appreciation and support for courageous collaboration and behavioral
transformation of individauls and institutions that will strenghten the fight against
corruption in Nigeria.Therefore, calls for prophetic pronouncement, prophetic exemplary
life style, and prophetic imagination.
