Global rankings show Nigeria and Afghanistan really are among the world’s most corrupt countries – yet we give them millions of pounds in aid which could actually fuel corruption.
Transparency International, an international non-governmental organisation, ranks war-torn Afghanistan as the third worst country in the world for corruption, only better than North Korea and Somalia, while Nigeria is 32nd from bottom.
Despite this, Britain gives £237million a year in aid to Nigeria and £198million to Afghanistan, the latest figures show. The total aid spending on the two countries is 35 per cent higher than when David Cameron came to power in 2010.
Two years ago, a report from an aid watchdog found that UK aid fuels corruption in Nigeria, with one scheme increasing the likelihood that locals would have to pay backhanders to the police. The Independent Commission For Aid Impact said the Department for International Development (DfID) was not ‘up to the challenge’ of tackling corruption, often because it was concerned about offending local politicians.
NIGERIA: CORRUPTION
Transparency International’s corruption perception index puts Nigeria at 136 out of 168 countries.
Corruption is endemic in Nigeria, with estimates as high as 400billion US dollars lost since it won independence from Britain in 1960.
A 2014 study by the Independent Commission For Aid Impact found: ‘Petty corruption touches virtually every aspect of life and is accepted throughout society as normal and necessary. We heard stories of parents paying bribes to teachers to educate their children, workers paying bribes to get jobs and receive their salaries, and pensioners paying bribes to receive pensions.’
It is believed that up to 20billion US dollars have gone missing from the books of the state oil company, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Millions of dollars meant to be spent on vaccinations and on the fight against ebola have been illegally diverted.
Surveys show that the Nigerian police is seen as the most corrupt institution in the country, with people having to pay bribes before officers will agree to help them.
BUT HERE ARE THEIR AID GRANTS
The UK gave £237million in aid to Nigeria in 2014. More than £1billion has been given to the country since 2010 – despite the fact that it is rich enough to afford a space programme.

If UK want to insult us they should tell us directly, nonsense

If corruption should stop in Nigeria, the UK economy will collapse! There major source of income is proceeds from corrupt countries. They give you 0.001% of it as "aid" then turn around to mock and insult u.

This is why people hate the west. Hypocrisy and double standards are their modus operandi

David Cameron is a madt man..
Nigeria is the most corrupt country Yet your country is one of the most populated country with majority of blacks(Nigerians).
You playing self righteous yet we invest most of the stolen funds from Nigeria in UK. He has no Moral Right no judge Nigerians @least we haven't committed more Genocide/human Experiment like UK.. We just 56yrz so give us a break..

Man this part really got to me. If only Nigerians wealth was being utilized, perhaps we would have un-manned aircraft in the moon by now.
Hell,we would even be the once giving out aides and grants to other "developing countries". Its funny how. Some apes in this thread think david cameron is insulting Nigeria meanwhile there are literally website that measure corruption index in Nigeria and all over the world, he is just stating the fact, but most of us want to live in denial.

Bring it on cameron.

See who is talking. Ignorance is your problem. why do u think colonization and slave trade were introduced?? To help you abi or your slave masters just wanted to greet you?? Your history teacher in primary school must have really done a shitty job. All the ibori, alameisgha and diezani loot, isn't it still the same UK it is stashed?? if Nigeria is so corrupt, then why did they (UK) accept the stolen property. Billions of pounds of Nigerian money is neatly lodged in the Uk and the same people turn around to brand u a thief, then u come here to open teeth. mtcheew

For the love of all things human, stop pulling information out of your a55, it only makes you look bad.
We're talking about UK's ecomony, and you're talking about slavery (get a load of this blithering idiot)
Anyways, nigerians public funds are not only stacked in the UK, but also USA, saudi, dubai, switzerland etc, and you're going to sit there with brains in your head and tell me that these looted fund made all these countries economy strong? While we in nigeria cannot boast of 20hrs electricity. So you're trying to tell me that the UK's economy was dwindling before ibori and the rest stacked their loots there ( lmao)
I'm not saying that UK is not corrupt, but they sure don't bring their loots here to nigeria for us the use it and develop our economy like you stupidly stated,

if Nigeria is so corrupt, then why did they (UK) accept the stolen property fund

Are you a 5year old?

They did not ask any nigeria to divert funds to their county, we did it ourself [greed] there is no law that stops you from transfering money to The united kingdom, they also will not come here and investigate questionable transfers, its not their duty, but you and your slave mentality just want them to do everything for you. The FG are the ones who should rather but systems in place to checkmate such habit. But yeah, no just sit tight and wait for the UK to do everything for you. Slave.
