the list was specific,it says TOP 20 most corrupt cuntries in the world,which means even if nigeria is corrupt,its not on the top 20...remember there are over 100 countries in the world.

I would ve expected nigeria on that list,if it had been TOP 50 most corrupt countries in the world

dnt be too quick to jump into conclusion bruh...there are countries way more corrupt than nigeria,but i dnt have to engage u in pettyness.

If nigeria is as corrupt as u claim,then thanks to mr GEJ,in whose under his watch pple looted nd looted without remose

needless for me to name names,as i suppose you know them already
