Transparency Int'l Rates
President Goodluck govt as
Best, Says Buhari, Obasanjo
govt worse


According to Transparency International’s
data from 1979 till date, the tenures of both
General Muhammadu Buhari and former
President Olusegun Obasanjo were more
corrupt than the tenure of President Goodluck
Jonathan.

The data also showed that under the
administration of President Jonathan, Nigeria
has recorded its best score in the Corruption
Perception Index (CPI) since 1979. This is in
complete contrast to the sordid picture of
rampant corruption being painted by the
opposition, ardent critics of the Jonathan
administration and much of the media in the
last few years – especially in the build up to
the general elections.

But the point that the figures from
Transparency International make so clearly is
that, in comparative terms, Nigeria is actually
much less corrupt today, and perceived
globally to be much less corrupt today, than it
has been in the last 35 years – including
under the regimes of General Buhari and
President Obasanjo, both of who wear the
toga and chant the mantra of anti-corruption.
Shockingly, according to the TI data,
President Obasanjo’s first tenure had the
worst scale of corruption during the 35 years
period between 1979 and 2015.

The TI Corruption Perception Index is a rating
of countries from 1 to 100 showing their
corruption scale. A rating of 1 is the worst and
rating of 100 means a country is completely
free of corruption. The pass mark is 50 and
any country scoring below 50 is considered a
corrupt country.
In the year 2000, Nigeria was ranked the most
corrupt country in the world – and improved
marginally in 2001 and 2003 when it was
rated the second most corrupt nation in the
world in the TI’s Corruption Perception Index.
This was certainly not under the watch of
President Jonathan.

Since 2012, Nigeria has made steady
improvements in the CPI. Indeed, under
President Jonathan, for the first time in
decades, Nigeria is not in the list of 1-10
most corrupt countries in the world.
In the 2014 Transparency International’s
Corruption Perception Index, issued in
December, Nigeria was ranked 136 out of 175
countries surveyed in the report. This ranking
placed Nigeria, alongside five other countries,
as the 39th most corrupt country in the world.
This is Nigeria’s best ranking in the last four
years.


With this ranking, Nigeria leapfrogged eight
countries within a space of one year – from
the 31st most corrupt nation in 2013 to the
39th in 2014. This may be regarded by cynics
as a small achievement: but it represents a
big step in the right direction.
Indeed, the administration of President
Jonathan deserves some commendation for
the positive steps it has taken, and the
modest achievements it has made so far, in
the war against corruption – rather than the
vengeful knocks it is receiving from various
quarters.

After painstaking research, the researchers found GEJ's govt to be the least corrupt.
Yet some ediot in a one room apartment in Oshodi would come and pour scorn on this research without doing his own research, APC is a congregation of illiterates.

Transparency International was founded in 1993. What kind of fraud is this?
Re: Transparency Int'l Rates President GEJ Govt As Best, Says Buhari, Obasanjo... by oduastates: 6:49pm On Jul 29, 2015
is it the same TI headed by that guy?

"No fighting in public , na village matter " after the exchange of kola."
Someone who was not asked but had to say that he did not have $5000 in his account.
That alone sent the alarm bells ringing .
Transparency international during Jonathan regime became an equivalent of Ngozi iweala POLL (NOI).
TI Nigeria became as relevant as iweala's claims of 20% unemployment .
Especially in a country where over 51% of national income did not even get into the federation account. All stolen at source .

Rigged and not trustworthy .

The same TI came out afterwards to claim that Nigeria has the most corrupt political parties in the world
How do you reconcile the rating with the one above

TI needs to sack their current representatives and come over to conduct a real poll.
No doubt in my mind that Nigeria was the most corrupt country in the world under Jonathan and still remains so.
