Corruption is a "serious problem" in 40 of sub-
Saharan Africa's 46 states, says an anti-
corruption watchdog.
Transparency International (TI) says it has seen
no improvement in powerhouses Nigeria and
South Africa.
Its corruption index puts Somalia at the top of
the list of the world's most corrupt countries.
The annual index looks at factors such as the
prevalence of bribery and the perception that
government officials go unpunished for corruption.

The watchdog said the countries perceived to be
the most corrupt tend to be in conflict; have
weak institutions such as the police and the
courts and lack independent media.
Somalia has not had an effective central
government since its long-serving ruler, Siad
Barre, was overthrown in 1991.
North Korea, which has been one of the world's
most secretive societies, shared the spot of most
corrupt with Somalia.
The "cleanest" countries, such as Denmark,
Finland and Sweden, tend to show the public how
money is spent and have judges that don't
differentiate between rich and poor, the report
says.
TI picked out Ghana - which has been rocked by
an undercover film showing judges allegedly
taking bribes - as a pocket of hope where
activists "worked hard to drive out the corrupt".
Senegal, where the government has introduced a
series of anti-corruptions laws, was one of the
biggest improvers this year.

and noise makers will be making noise instead of working

hahahaha

This is a serious Upper-Cut from TI.


Expect Van Dam's Tobi-Ushoro-Yokogeri Soon.

I think that many people were far more interested in the Buhari administration arresting some 'big names' that they forgot that Buhari should have put emphasis on how to make it impossible to steal. I have no problem with Buhari going after people from previous administrations who embezzled public money as long as he does it within the ambit of the law,however, this alone will not rid Nigeria of corruption. If anything, it will just make those currently stealing to find more ingenious ways of hiding their loot. What is Buhari doing to increase accountability, checks and balances that will make it hard for anyone to steal?

you cant expect immediate result from ranking. By 2018, if this anti corruption drive continues, then our rating will improve.
