Onyinye Ough is a Nigerian author, speaker[1] and activist.[2][3] She is the executive director of Step up for Social Development and Empowerment in Nigeria, an anti corruption non-governmental organization using storytelling to educate young Nigerians on different types of corruption and its impact on society.[4][5][6][7]

In her book, Emeka's money,[8] the character Emeka, is depicted as a decent man attempting to do beneficial things for the people around him. He neglects to acknowledge from the start that his "pleasant actions" to his friends can cause harm to the development of his community. The book draws interfaces between various parts of corruption and the real damage they cause. The book has been adapted as an animated short movie.[9]
