Only a profoundly ignorant and morally bankrupt idiot would think that Nigeria is the most corrupt country in the world. It is one thing using reverse psychology because you’re upset about poverty in Nigeria quite another if you really let yourself be mislead by white hypocrisy.

See your yeeye mouth.
I will list the reasons Nigeria is the most corrupt in the world.

1. Nigeria has the most corrupt Police force in the world : They no longer collect 20naira. It is now minimum of 100naira(mainland) 500naira(island/lekki)
2. Nigerians pay PRIMARY school teachers to help their 6-10 yr old kids pass exams.
3. This eventually metamorphoses into orijo for Jamb at secondary school level.
4. Nigerians cheat during job interview tests. I wonder y the employers always feel dissapointed with their new hires. hmmmm
5. Nigeria has the highest rate of Ghost Workers in the world.
6. An average Nigerian wants to work with the FG in order to engage in the ongoing looting. (free for all). The list is endless.
7. Nigerian kids no longer want to be doctors and engineers. They want to be Ministers and Governors in order to loot.
8. Nigerians spend 1 million naira to train each corper yearly. hmmmmmm
9. Remote villages now have kids who own VSAT internet equipment. They obviously are not using it to research their school projects??

and finally, The reason we are currently ranked 2nd and not 1st is because NIGERIAN OFFICIALS BRIBED THE CONdUCTORS OF THE POLL/RESEARCH !!!!!!

Yes, brother! The plan is to expose, and then remove. Gone are the days when we will sit down and conform to standards of theft, bribery and corruption just because. . . What is wrong is wrong! A lot of our practises are corrupt, and we cannot change th situation, unless we first accept the fact! Yes, there are other countries that are corrupt also, but Nigeria is unique in the sense that only a Nigerian boldfacedly commits corruption, and shows off with it - and other Nigerians kneel down and honour his "corruptness".

No its not, but the amount of money that SHOULD be used for schools, hospital roads, BASIC necessities, is being siphoned out in a callous inhumane manner.

I've been told by many of my Professors from Asian countries that Nigeria SHOULD be a leading government and WILL be in the future, if our trend of looting decreases and that Nigerians should thank their stars they are not like India. A country who has all the problems of Nigeria times a  billion.

Did you really ask that question?  You know you could have just researched it before asking. 
Anyway, No it's not.  Nigeria used to be the most during Abacha reign.  Now it's not.  Somalia is. 
Nigeria is 121 out of the 180 nations surveyed.  Nigeria, Vietnam, Togo, Nepal and Sao Tome are in the same line of corruption.  It's still high though
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index
http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2008
Just research it the next time.
I don't even think some of you people research stuff before talking.
That video was when Nigeria was the most corrupted (which was around 1991-1998)

Before you start blasting others on research you use your own brain. One can't rank corruption precisley which is why the CPI is often criticized. People on here used what they see, same as those who created the CPI so of course opinions would vary. Not to metion that list is manipulated  to the likes of westernized non socialist countries. So  before you post this trash, use your head. Those that were socialist or one party governments were ranked more corrupt. Those same countries are still ahead of countries named the least, in terms of what was used to measure "corruption".

you would think that racist jews like mike wallace would know better than to make such stupid statements but im so glad louis farrakhan brilliantly put him in his place.

wallace seems to think that we are all blind to the atrocities that america has been comitting around the world, this is a country that regularly arms both sides during conflicts (vietnam, iran v iraq, first and second world wars) overthrows democratically elected presidents ( haiti, honduras, nicaragua, panama, ecuador, zaire, ghana and many more) and installs and funds brutal dictatorships (mobutu of zaire, saudi royal family, marcos of the phillipines, pinochet of chile and many more)

farrakhan should have reminded him of the fact that some of the richest families in america ie rockefellers, dulles, mellons financed hitlers war machine during the second world war and miraculously escaped treason charges - he should also have mentioned how henry ford of ford motors helped to build hitlers war machine supplying the nazis with tanks and trucks, how about jfk's father and george bush's jnr's grandfather who laundered money on behalf of the nazis dont those qualify as corrupt practices or is it only when non white people do it that its corrupt?

Re: Is Nigerian Actually The Most Corrupt Nation On Earth As West Pronounces? by becomrich15: 12:38am On Sep 14, 2009
i agree with Mike Wallace, I beg to disagree on some point by Louis Farrakhan, nigeria is not 30 year old, but 95 year old.

Nigeria is very corrupt when compare to the USA or west. There is corruption here but it is not done openly. Nigeria became corrupt less than 35 years ago.
And ethnics is the reason we can not fight corruption because if you appoint a southerner to be the head of the police. And we want to fight corruption. Govt Corruption in nigeria is by northerner at least 70% of the corruption in Nigeria.


This is how northerner became rich, by fraud government contract. And 95% of northerner rich man got thier money through government of nigeria by stealling from the system.


If we do not fight corruption by arresting 95% of northerner we cant fight corruption. And I can tell you, there is nobody in Nigeria who can arrest 1% of corrupt northerners. but when you remove the yorubas, edo, delta and bayelsa state, you break the back of corruption because the northerner corruption are linked to southern partner, when it is the north alone. They can deal with the issue. I know they can deal with it. but under a system together with the south. forget it. Corruption is forever in nigeria.

it is difficult not to be corrupt in nigeria, it is close to be impossible. even if you dont want to be, the system would force you to be.

Not even when such word comes from someone whom we knows that his own country practice corruptions in the highest order.

But ignoring the stupidity of it and looking at the statement, it somewhat highlights the typical Nigerian persons bizarre logic and myopia.

I simply dont know why educated people jump to such conclusion about Nigeria being the most corrupt country in the world. The research people do on the internet is just as bias as the what common people view Nigerian corruption as.

@post
I see Nigerias main problem is Nigerians and how they are, esp when it comes to MONEY. They can't get money out  of their brains. WHY MONEY MONEY MONEY NO ONE TALKS ABOUT BASIC NEEDS FOR THE MASSES.

The question was  is Nigeria the MOST CORRUPT country on Earth?
Every single poster gave their reason for Nigeria being the most corrupt country based on looting and money extortion in Nigeria.
But in terms of corruption :
All forms of government are susceptible to political corruption. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement.


When you look at America they indulge in all of these, the only thing is they do not FREQUENTLY have open deals of bribery like stupid Nigerians do. In america they believe that corruption is good when used in the interest of their nation.
Ex. George bush using the invasion of Iraq/sept 11, for a second presidentional term and to also evade Americans from  its suspicious circumstances. He entered by winning his BROTHERS STATE FLORIDA, he entered iraq where his father tried to get oil during his own term, and on sept 11 It is widely belived he and those around him were behind it.

Nigerias ONLY PROBLEM IS CORRUPTION IN TERMS OF MONEY AND LOOTING. Corruption in America done pass Naija BY FAR. They brain wash the masses through the media "US propaganda and pyswar" for the mass public WHICH IS AS CORRUPTED AS IT CAN GET. Nigerias problem is simple the leaders dont care about the interest of Nigeria like Americas does.

HILLARY SAID IT AMERICA IS CORRUPT but she meant only for the interest of AMERICANS.

I dont know if anyone is familiar with "kill one to save the masses" THATS WHAT AMERICA IS ABOUT.
The invasion of iraq was about a future threat and  OIL FOR 300 MILLION+ AMERICANS, but at the cost of a few thousand america soldiers lives.

Nigerians leaders just care about themselves and not the masses thats where our problem lies

They do that too in Britain. Few tell the truth in their CV.
How many employment job tests did you write in Britain. Mumu. The issue is peculiar to Nigeria because we simply use tests to weed out candidates since we have too many graduates to choose from. Britain, like any other developed nation does not depend on the test. They are seldom used. They go straight to the interview process.     
A-town (m)

So many countries have a problem with ghost workers. It may well be Nigeria has the highest but I doubt it because you can’t tell me the comparative figures for India, Brazil, Cameroon.

EEWU. Lagos state govt saved 60million last month from screening workers. There are thousands of workers who dies since 1981 that are still collecting salaries in Nigeria. We dont have a database or social security system that helps to weed these ghost workers hence it is a bigger problem in Nigeria. The countries you listed have a form of identification and their ghost worker situation is not as bad as Nigeria. You are so stupid for this one.

As far as i am concerned i do not care how corrupt other countries are but that my country is. The level of corruption in America as far as i am concerned is x2 of Nigeria's. The only difference is they do it with style and finese and in some cases legalise it while ours is brazen, crude and downright archaiec. For instance lets say you want to buy a car and you visit a car dealership the system is such that it is so easy to get the car as little as 4k for a valued car of 30k. The twist is miss one payment and the penalties are structured in a way to make you a slave to that dealer forever. The whole system is such that things are given to you in way thay is so easy but at the end you will be a slave for life. They are so good with mathmatics and law that once you are trapped you will have no legal recourse except to file for bankruptcy and trust me that is the last thing you want to do. In Nigeria when a senator collects money we call it bribery but for here na lobbying. Their own type of online fraud is how to set up your own online home business . You will be conned into parting with hard earned dollars and when you have lost your money the explanation is you did not follow the business module well enough for it to succeed. The marketing and the manner you are conned is so suave that you will never believe it is a con. They even advertise on tv. and get this; the tv station will advise you to be careful of the advert that they are about to show, that they will not be held accountable if you lose money. The reason we are branded is that we are too crude. In all the countries i have gone i have not seen where a policeman will stand in the middle of the road to collect bribe in broad daylight.

In Nigeria when a senator collects money we call it bribery but for here na lobbying. Their own type of online fraud is how to set up your own online home business . You will be conned into parting with hard earned dollars and when you have lost your money the explanation is you did not follow the business module well enough for it to succeed. The marketing and the manner you are conned is so suave that you will never believe it is a con. They even advertise on tv. and get this; the tv station will advise you to be careful of the advert that they are about to show, that they will not be held accountable if you lose money. The reason we are branded is that we are too crude. In all the countries i have gone i have not seen where a policeman will stand in the middle of the road to collect bribe in broad daylight.

they do what they like but its more advanced than naija own

Naija needs to step their game up

I was supposed to end my cursing yesterday but you two asked for it again. You lot are seriously DELUSIONAL.
Obviously, the corruption in Nigeria s education system led to products like you that can not differentiate between corruption and simple MARKETING Strategies. Only a fool would claim that their is no corruption in the states. One thing is clear though. It is not as bad as Nigeria. A "typical" american does not wake up expecting to loot government funds. A typical nigerian is waiting for the opportunity to steal money. Ask Govt workers and Bank workers!!!!! Corruption started with Adam and Eve but Nigerians have taken it to another level.

My own take is there seems to be a line that is not crossed in corruption in western and even asian societies.This line i am talking about has to do with NOT EMBEZZLING money meant developmental purposes like roads,power generation equipments,security,schools,housing,health,transportation and generally basic necessities of life.

HOWEVER IN NIGERIA there seems to be no line not to be overstepped.

You've already lost. In the final analysis, no one can prove that anyone or anything is the greatest or worst in the world. Perspectives render the objective obsolete.

Are you really this retarded. Stop trying to be philosophical. It makes you appear foolish. I take that back. You are foolish.

Mexico has a more corrupt police force than Nigeria.

A-town(m)
This coming from the idiot that made the statement above. Hypocrisy at its best.

The statement reads, ‘Mexico has a more corrupt police force than Nigeria does’.




In Britain, teachers cheat voluntarily so that their school will climb up the national league table.

A-town (m)
How many parents in Britain buy expo for their primary school children. Are you really this dumb?


British teachers cheating in order to make their schools climb up the national league table is an act of corruption equal if not greater than your claim. Beside the elite in Britain are perceived to corruptly buy  far more privileges for their children to get on in society than anything a Nigerian parent could. 


They do that too in Britain. Few tell the truth in their CV.

A-town (m)
How many employment job tests did you write in Britain. Mumu. The issue is peculiar to Nigeria because we simply use tests to weed out candidates since we have too many graduates to choose from. Britain, like any other developed nation does not depend on the test. They are seldom used. They go straight to the interview process.     

Britain does not, as far as I know, do expo either but one can draw on similarities. In Britain, other methods result in similar corruption, racism for instance.  Besides this is the statement you posed: Nigerians cheat during job interview tests. I wonder why the employers always feel dissapointed with their new hires. Hmmmm.

In the context of your statement highlighted in red, the CV example I gave was relevant.



So many countries have a problem with ghost workers. It may well be Nigeria has the highest but I doubt it because you can’t tell me the comparative figures for India, Brazil, Cameroon.

A-town (m)
EEWU. Lagos state govt saved 60million last month from screening workers. There are thousands of workers who dies since 1981 that are still collecting salaries in Nigeria. We dont have a database or social security system that helps to weed these ghost workers hence it is a bigger problem in Nigeria. The countries you listed have a form of identification and their ghost worker situation is not as bad as Nigeria. You are so stupid for this one.


You still have not provided comparative figures to justify your claims that Nigeria has more Ghost workers than any other country in the world.




This statement like all the others is a casual observation, only more highfalutin, so wont bother. 

A-town (m)
Olodo. Ignorant mumu. When Obasanjo went to a primary school to address students what did they say? It was shown on TV. They said they wanted to be freaking Ministers and Presidents. A-town (m)

You’ve not stated anything different. I did not watch the program, so, unless you’re withholding more of what the children said, for instance, if they said, ‘Papa president I want to go into politics because I want to chop money’,  then I still cant see what your observation has to do with corruption.


I’m sure Britain spends more on a Bobby and Togo spends less on an officer, so what has the cost of training a police officer got to do with proof of Nigeria being the most corrupt Nation.

A-town (m)
If you dont understand something, dont jump into it. ASK. you idiot. I said Corper. The govt claims they spend 1 million naira to train an NYSC CORPER when we all know they dont spend up to 100,000 naira.

Thanks for making yourself clearer. As for the second part, governments are always overstating or understating costs. The British government is a master of dissembling figures.


So innuendo now amounts to proof. Okay, let me have a go. Many ordinary Americans and British people now own sophisticated research equipment purchased on eBay. Equipments capable of manufacturing viruses – "ooh Ahh, Africans and black people, tremble wiv fear, what could these white people be doing with these equipments?"   

A-town (m)
Thunder fire you for this one. Have you watched the episode where EFCC went to villages to catch all these yahoo yahoo boys. You should go to some areas in Ogun state and see for yourself. I swear i feel like knocking out your teeth.


Seems you stand on firmer ground on this one. As for knocking my teeth out, it has been my experience that people who rake rarely put up a good fight, which is what you’re proving in your statements so far. It’s full of fury signifying nothing.



A-town (m)
Finally, if anyone comes here and tells me to stop the insults, i swear for that person. This guy asked for it.
We know naija is bleeping corrupt so why the denial. your denial shows the level of corruptness

That's Accra education for you  grin

My dear boy, I doubt anyone is going to advice you to stop insulting,  unless they want to stop you contributing. Your insults take the place of shouting and it is in addition your way of covering up your naivety. The only thing that surprised me was the fact you didn’t add sexual innuendoes.
