Motivational Speaker and renowned cleric, Dr Mensa Otabil, says the spirit of greed is what fuels corruption in national leadership. �A whole nation�s destiny is mortgaged on the greed of one person who decides a contract of no significant value should be awarded because it will line his pocket with something for himself so 20 million perish and one man has something�, the International Central Gospel Church Founder said in his Friday �Living Word� message on private FM station, Joy. �The spirit of greed, you see, sometimes is not even greed like the people want more, sometimes it�s greed that is cheap�, Dr Otabil said. �It�s like Judas selling Jesus for 30 pieces of silver; that was the price of a slave. At least if you are going to sell the Lord, at least multiply the price�it�s cheapness, it�s devaluation greed�. According to Otabil, that sort of greed is fuelled by a spirit of devaluation, which causes people to demean themselves and reduce their self-worth.
