It's Official: Nigeria Not Among World's Most Corrupt Nations by Nobody: 5:22am On Nov 02, 2009 |
We have issues with corruption make no mistake. But we're hardly among the 'most corrupt' nations in the world. According to the latest Transparency International rankings, Nigeria is LESS corrupt than the following nations: Indonesia Venezuela Libya Pakistan Russia Ukraine Taijikistan Iran Philippines Paraguay Syria Kyrgyzstan Ecuador Azerbaijan Sao Tome and Principe Belarus Iraq Ivory Coast Angola Kenya Cameroon Togo Yemen Laos Viet Nam Kazakhstan Turkmenistan Uzbekistan Bangladesh Eritrea Papua New Guinea Ethiopia Guyana Honduras Mozambique Uganda Comoros Cambodia Nicaragua Afghanistan Timor-Leste Myanmar Liberia Sierra Leone Zimbabwe Somalia DRC Congo Burundi Sudan Guinea Central African Republic Tonga Haiti Congo, Republic Gambia Guinea-Bissau Equatorial Guinea Chad Considering that just a few short years ago, Nigeria was straight up NO 1 on this very list as ''the most corrupt nation in the world'', I would say we've made considerable progress in tackling this problem over the last few years. Kudos to all concerned for the remarkable progress thus far made. http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2008 PS: To those who have a special problem with this post, please direct all queries to Transparency International, the officially recognised global corruption watchdog. Many thanks! |

Who asked u to sing and dance? I bet you would have eagerly posted the rankings had we been rated No 1 most corrupt. I bet those rankings are just killing ya. Would u like a glass of water? A handkerchief perhaps, to wipe your tears of disappointment? Damn that Transparency International!! |

Rossike you are one optimistic fellow, you seem to me like one of those Akunyili apologists i had a discussion with a few weeks back. The lovely news of course is that we have a conscience and deep down we know things have really not changed that much! I have a couple of papers on my desk this morning and all i can still see is corruption! Just keep talking my friend, very soon we shall redden the land with the blood of tyrants and rancous fellows spewing panegyrics on the imperialists. It would be only be salutary to eradicate the praise singers also, as their use would be in doubt. Anyway, so much for praise singers i'll go get fuel first |

So we should start singing praises becoz we ranked 121 on group and we should be jubiliating becoz countries like Ghana, Namibia and common Niger republic are far ahead of us on the Rank. Get real man that isnt the best position a great nation as Nigeria should be. if you think otherwise continue celebration over failure. Only Nigerian citizens believe that their country should remain the best failures and not among the best. |

Some of you guys are really weird. You actually expect Nigeria to shoot straight from World's most corrupt nation to World's cleanest nation without it being an incremental process. Almost as if by Magic. What planet are you guys living on What nation on earth has ever experienced that sort of instantaneous transformation? YOU are the real dreamers. Keep on dreaming. In the meantime, please allow us SANE humans to celebrate our little successes, no matter how ''minor'' or ''insignificant'' they may appear to you ''oh so perfect souls''. Mshewwwww!!!! |
Re: It's Official: Nigeria Not Among World's Most Corrupt Nations by bibiking1(m): 9:41am On Nov 02, 2009 |
The same reason you have remained insignificant in the struggle to free the motherland! if you believe in tiny drops of water making the mighty ocean then you are an excuse for a rainy day. Simpleton |
Re: It's Official: Nigeria Not Among World's Most Corrupt Nations by Nobody: 9:45am On Nov 02, 2009 |
BibiKing or whatever you call yourself, I think you are worse than a simpleton. I think you are an extremely daft and ignorant excuse for a twerp. Now run along and go queue at the embassy for a visa, pea brain. You won't be missed. |

I apologize for my earlier insult on your person, i guess i was out of line. However, what i want to point out is that these indices are not important if they have no reflection on the well being of the masses. The critical issues should never be substituted with indices and unassuming figures. Once again sorry for my earlier outburst |
Re: It's Official: Nigeria Not Among World's Most Corrupt Nations by blacksta(m): 9:55am On Nov 02, 2009 |
This list has been doctored - The soul of nigeria is corrupt. |
Re: It's Official: Nigeria Not Among World's Most Corrupt Nations by Bolarge(m): 9:57am On Nov 02, 2009 |
Sorry but, did we get better or others got worse? |
Re: It's Official: Nigeria Not Among World's Most Corrupt Nations by FBS: 10:02am On Nov 02, 2009 |
Yes, there is HOPE! |

The critical issues should never be substituted with indices and unassuming figures. Once again sorry for my earlier outburst Apology accepted. This is not a question of substituting anything. First you have to understand exactly how Transparency International does its ranking. It's not about some guy sitting in a dark room basement somewhere, cooking up figures. As I understand it, the rankings are based on a poll of international businesses, conglomerates, multinationals, and financial agencies - the folks who know where the money is going, and who know which country's officials are demanding bribes, kickbacks, and siphoning funds into foreign accounts etc. If THEY say that corruption is reducing in Nigeria, then it IS reducing. Simple and short. You all were quick to believe when they voted your country No 1 most corrupt a few years ago, based on the same criteria, so what gives? Oh, and the reduction in corruption will not lead to a noticeable improvement in living conditions of the country right away either. It will still take YEARS for that to be accomplished, even if we suddenly came under the rulership of Jesus himself. It simply takes TIME for such changes to translate to real tangible benefits for the majority in a country as huge as Nigeria. What we MUST encourage and demand, is continued movement in the right direction, as shown by the report. The rest will follow. |

I am running round and round like a beheaded chicken, Are u sure these Transparency guys did not make a mistake? Or the brown envelope was finally slipped into the hands of somebody there? Abi OBJ put in a word as an ex member, or is he still there? |
