Nigeria Is 31st Most Corrupt Nation – Transparency International by Nobody: 9:07am On Oct 26, 2014

The Corruption Perceptions Index 2013 released by the Transparency International, which shows that corruption remains a global phenomenon, rates 15 countries while Nigeria now ranks 31 among the most corrupt nations.
The Corruption Perceptions Index 2013, according to the TI serves as a reminder that the abuse of power, secret dealings and bribery continue to ravage societies around the world.

“The index scores 177 countries and territories on a scale from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). No country has a perfect score, and two-thirds of countries score below 50. This indicates a serious, worldwide corruption problem”.
The global anti corruption crusader also calls for urgent renewal of anti-graft war by building transparent public institutions.

“The world urgently needs a renewed effort to crack down on money laundering, clean up political finance, pursue the return of stolen assets and build more transparent public institutions.
“It is time to stop those who get away with acts of corruption. The legal loopholes and lack of political will in government facilitate both domestic and cross-border corruption, and call for our intensified efforts to combat the impunity of the corrupt”. Countries that are rated as the best 17 in zero tolerance for corruption are Denmark, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, Netherlands, Australia, and Canada.
Others are Luxembourg, Germany, Iceland, United Kingdom, Barbados, Belgium and Hong Kong in that order.

However, both Denmark and New Zealand scored 91 per cent, both Finland and Sweden 89 per cent, Norway and Singapore 86 per cent, Australia and Canada 81, Germany and Iceland 78 while Barbados, Belgium and Hong Kong scored 75.
However, while no African country makes the first 17, they dominate the first 10 while Nigeria ranks 31 on the list.

So what's this saying about the most corrupt govt that the Gej's govt have been labelled.
And where are the Obasanjo's praise singers. I still remember during his presidency Nigeria was rated second most corrupt.

Can Jonathan's haters now appreciate the leap - quite huge and remarkable.
And to imagine this is coming at a time of unprecedented local and international propaganda on corruption in Nigeria gives Jonathan more credence.

As far as I'm concerned, Nigeria is the most corrupt country in the whole world. I don't care what any other person or body says about it.

Let US as Nigerian masses unite and strike an understanding with Denmark to exchange all our current politician for the ones in Denmark. The core essence of a Nigerian politician is loot everything lootable. Take him to an environment where things work he can't survive it.

why are Nigeria celebrating that we are 31st because most of the countries above don't have any data due to all out war or no functioning government or the country president/leader is anti west, because to the capitalist western world any leader that don't like to open country to them is corrupted example Somalia (no government for 20 years) libya (no government 2 years) North Korean ( no data) Venezuela ( anti west government) Iraq ( war) sudan (anti west) south sudan (war) Turkmenistan ( anti west) Uzbekistan (anti west) Afghanistan ( war)

And the opposition parties say gej is the bedrock of corruption in Nigeria. I remember during obj tenure we were among the top 4. Our position on the rating shows massive reduction and decline in corruption in the country. Long live Good luck ebele Jonathan. Long live federal republic of Nigeria

Thanks but no thanks. Sure I'm really dissappointed in the level and magnitude of corruption in this country.

Can you tell me why I should be bothered by other countries' corruption level? Oh, you're happy that we are corruption-wise "ahead" of those countries that should not have even been compared to us in terms of any meaningful thing a serious country is measured.

Shame on us as a country really.

Don't just believe all those anti-Africa agencies.
They use all media available to ensure Africa remains in perpetual conflict, disharmony and disbelief within themselves.

The biggest problem with Nigeria is Nigerians
They would never believe in their country even when it's making improvements on certain fields
Nigerian masses are the most corrupt, and it's rife
When our parents, all and sundry would pay and bribe their way through to have things changed to their tastes.
#we really need attitudinal changes#
Until Nigerians changes their attitudes, they don't have rights to question the govt.........

Thank God we are moving upwards as a country, squashing the earlier record of being the 2nd most corrupt............to being the no. 31st ...
But in terms of the populace, we are very corrupt as being the citizens of this great country and not the govt we point fingers on...
I believe we can still do better than this....

Funny Nigerians grin grin

we have been rated 31st yet some are doubting the report. If we were rated 1st now, I'm sure I would be so tired reading statements from different press conferences with political bashing on the government.

Abeg, Congratulations Nigerians for making it possible jare grin grin grin in unity we stand #keepingthepeace

Guy chill, why are you making so much noise? Your country that you claim to love so much use to occupy second position now it has moved to 31st in less than 8yrs and you are not happy. I am happy because we are making progress and we will continue to make progress, with the reforms taking place all around us we are making progress. Instead of lamenting we should be having discussions on how to accelerate the progress we are making.
