Nigeria’s Northwest and Northeast regions have the highest prevalence of bribery among adults, a new report published on Wednesday indicates.

The report, prepared by Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in partnership with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), with a focus on the quality and integrity of public services in the country, shows that the Northwest has 36.2 per cent prevalence rate while the Northeast has 35.2 per cent prevalence rate.

The prevalence of bribery, according to the report, “is calculated as the number of adult Nigerians who had at least one contact with a public official and who paid a bribe to a public official, or were asked for a bribe by a public official, on at least one occasion in the 12 months prior to the survey, as a percentage of all adult Nigerians who had at least one contact with a public official.”

The country’s Southeast region, currently in the throes of a separatist agitation championed by Nnamdi Kanu’s Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has the lowest bribery prevalence rate of 24.2 per cent, which is below the national average prevalence rate of 32.3 per cent.

In between these extremes are the Southsouth, Southwest and Northwest with corruption prevalence rates of 33.8 percent, 32.8 per cent and 29.1 per cent, respectively.

In terms of an average number of times a bribe is paid in each of the regions, Southeast has 4.9, followed by Northwest with 5.2 and Southwest with 5.7 times – all of which are below the national average of 5.8 occurrence rate. A bribe is paid in an average of 6.2 times in the Northeast, while both the Northcentral and the Southsouth have a 6.4 occurrence rate.

However, the report notes that from the “spatial analysis of bribery prevalence across the 36 states of Nigeria, no clear geographical pattern emerges. At the state level, the prevalence of bribery ranges between 13 per cent in Kwara State and 52 per cent in Borno State, indicating that local factors can have a significant impact on interactions between civil servants and the public.”

Ok

Cool

Have noticed how south east perform well in any analysis done by independent international bodies ...but do badly when NBS release stats

Lol truth can't be hidden

Okay.... Whats my business sef after all the south is nigeria's problem according to some patriots

All these reports are NONSENSE

Nigerians across all regions are corrupt

As a matter of fact, when we benefit from corruption, we call it connection.

However, when we are schemed out of corruption, we cry of tribalism, injustice, etc.

Nigerians, regardless of the geopolitical zones, are irredeemably corrupt

It is very clear to the blind, and audible even to the deaf. SE keeps setting the pace

A clean report. Front page material.

Igbos are the least Corrupt people in Nigeria , I can attest to that

Everything they are least even FG presence

Igbo as a culture and people are founded on two principle equity and justice

Bribing is not really and Igbo thing ...if u say manipulating then that's our thing ...as long as u have no personal relationship with the person it's fair ...that's our capitalists nature

But bribing is not out thing ...ask police in the east people dash them far more money than they make in bribe

I said it that yemi kale the fraudulent yoruba statistician can cook fake figures for Africa.

Master of 'Oluwole' fakery.

That guy's certification should be scrutinized properly.

Ok
Google too can confirm the most corrupt politicians

Why did you say that? Kindly explain, thanks.

Congratulations

Wait....did you say NBS? As in Nigeria Bureau of Statistics? The one led by Yemi Kale ?


This thread will be interesting...

I'm impressed, reports conducted by Nigerian Government Agencies are often against the Igbos.

Why is the Op being deliberately deceitful. This is no United Nation report and is in fact a NBS stats from 2017.
Did you think no one will read the link.

Balogunodua:

Census are conducted every 10 years. The data is 2 years + old

TripleOh7:

Sifia pains for Yoruba Moslems

Show me the stats conducted by NBS that is against the Igbos.

OFFICIAL336:

Ok!

But this report has already been posted on nairaland in 2017, so why post it again? What are you trying archive after 2years?

Igbos dont belong here. they are pure people

Balogunodua:

Ok!

But this report has already been posted on nairaland in 2017, so why post it again? What are you trying archive after 2years?

Because you Brother at the NBS suddenly came up with an oluwole statistics that south East is the most corrupt in Nigeria just two years after this report.

What changed within these two years that suddenly made the first to become the last within 2 years.

We understand the demarketing strategy of Tinubu and his boys. This is the report that foreign investors will be considering while choosing location for their investment.

Stop using public offices to push out your Yoruba agenda QED.

And NBS told us the opposite.
