Corruption Is Only Bad If I'm Not Involved
Kenyan activist Samson Owimba Ojiayo's satirical line—"Corruption is not bad. Corruption is only bad if I'm not involved"—spread as a reaction clip and catchphrase, resurging during July 2026 World Cup eligibility discourse.
More about this meme
Samson Owimba Ojiayo (Uncle Samson) is a Kenyan human-rights activist; the quote comes from a November 18, 2022 Shiracko Media speech where he used exaggerated irony to criticize self-serving attitudes toward corruption. TikTok reposts in May 2025 (@amos.vlogs3, 6.3M views) and compilation edits (@justcore6, 23.6M views) stripped context and turned the clip into a reaction meme.
Ojiayo embraced the virality June 27, 2026 on Instagram (@theunclesamson, 299K likes). July 5 posts applied the quote to USMNT striker Folarin Balogun's World Cup eligibility after his red card (@tosinmm_, 8.5M views)—using the line when fans suddenly defend a rule loophole that benefits their team.
