Come off it. This cannot possibly be a true story. Just read the letter. No organization would put out something as unprofessional as this.
Prolly meant to be some sort of joke.

Wonders shall never end......

And the most religious country in the world.

chagga: THE Transparency International has expressed worry over the scope and speed of corruption in Nigeria this year, saying it is beyond what it has ever dealt with. This was revealed in an open letter to President Goodluck Jonathan by Fitch and Associates in the Hague, The Netherlands, on behalf of Transparency International. In the letter, distributed by Save Nigeria Group (SNG), the Transparency International said the scam in Nigeria at present is quite heartbreaking.

See full details of the letter below.
Dear President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,

“We are lawyers representing Transparency International, a global civil society group leading the fight against corruption. Your Excellency, if you look at the website of our client, she defines herself extensively as: “Transparency International, the global civil society organisation leading the fight against corruption, brings people together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating impact of corruption on men, women and children around the world. TI’s mission is to create change towards a world free of corruption.
Transparency International challenges the inevitability of corruption, and offers hope to its victims. Since its founding in 1993, TI has played a lead role in improving the lives of millions around the world by building momentum for the anti corruption movement.”

Your Excellency, perhaps, you already know that our client is famous in your part of the world for her annual Corruption Perception Index (CPI). It has become the world’s most famous corruption ranking fiesta. People and governments all over the world expect the annual CPI the way they expect the announcement of the Nobel Prizes. We are sure you know how it works Your Excellency: some 200 countries are ranked from the least corrupt to the most corrupt.

To gather corruption data every year on two hundred countries is arduous work. Our client’s thorough methodology is constantly reviewed and updated by the best experts in the world. This methodology revolves around a national integrity system assessment that is applied by a team of country specialists. Transparency International allots three specialists to each of the 200 countries under assessment. Six hundred specialists work round the clock to help our client draw up the CPI which is released on the last month of every year.

Transparency International has retained the services of our firm because they believe that Nigeria is about to jeopardise their work for the year 2012. Our client suspects sabotage, plotted and orchestrated by Nigeria’s political elite, in order to make it impossible for Transparency International to work effectively on the 2012 Corruption Perception Index. Our client would rather have a peaceful resolution of this matter as international litigation is always sensational, time wasting, and expensive.

The problem, Your Excellency, has to do with the rate and scale of scams and corruption probes coming out of Nigeria in 2012. The scope and speed of corruption in your country this year is beyond anything our client has ever dealt with. When the pension fund scam broke out, the three specialists working on Nigeria complained about overwork and threatened a lawsuit against Transparency International because they had to work 23 hours a day from Monday to Sunday just to cope with the figures coming out of that scam. Our client had to pull country specialists away from zero or low corruption countries such as New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Singapore, Norway, Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, and Canada. The specialists working on all these countries were transferred to the Nigeria desk.

I advice people should mind & face their business than troubling their precious life just for politicians game at back they went club and dining together, so let them be or join them

Baba_Eleko: I don't know why my father choose to sell market instead of becoming a politician.

me too,i don,t know why my own chose to be a night soil man.

Hu be dis opaque body wey dey claim transperency safe? Oyibo pipl na dem corrupt pas. Abeg mek dem mind dia own biz.na dem bring am into we country bc of oil

JONA and the 40 thieves, in dis case them pass 40 ooooo

Sad but True.

chiover: Hu be dis opaque body wey dey claim transperency safe? Oyibo pipl na dem corrupt pas. Abeg mek dem mind dia own biz.na dem bring am into we country bc of oil

Get out of of the bush. It's one thing to be corrupt, it's another thing to use the money you steal for something good, like re-investing it on the land you stole it from, which is what corrupt oyinbo people do...

... Even at that, you dare not say oyinbo are more corrupt than Nigerians. For nigerians corruption has become a sad part of their heathen culture.
Youths must rise out of this heathen culture. I would say something along the lines of "May God give them grace, etc" but that is all redundant talk. God can and has already given the grace, but when people consistently WILL otherwise, that grace is wasted and useless.

Baba_Eleko: I don't know why my father choose to sell market instead of becoming a politician.

You berra join politics now so that your children do not say the same about you.

I'm waitin for some people to come and accuse TI' of badmouthin' their son's regime...... This present government is TERRIBLE!!!! In other words we have no president, dts y everybody is commitin' n grabin' whatever they could before we get a president

Guys, this particular story is obviously a parody written by Pius Adeyemi

moderattor: Transparency interfoot
was just advertising itself in that letter.
600 lawyers my foot.
What evidence do they have that curruption is higher in 2012 than in 2006?

Simple message you couldn't understand. They're only talking about the volume of work they have to do in Nigeria this year. By the time results come out, only God knows what it will be.

Atigba: These transparency jobless people self.Nigeria is nt the only country with corrupt people. Is an inheritance from Britain?

am yet to recover from the shock i got from reading your comment. So people can be this twisted up? So Even after over 50 years of independence you still blame the Brits for the way we've turned out? Your reasoning stinks

Chanchit: I'm waitin for some people to come and accuse TI' of badmouthin' their son's regime...... This present government is TERRIBLE!!!! In other words we have no president, dts y everybody is commitin' n grabin' whatever they could before we get a president

Lets look @it tis way: the coruptn has been in d system b4 gej's time.other leaders failed to tackle it.only gej has the gut to tackle it.oil subsidy and pension scams have been for a long time,exposed by gej admin.do u feel me?

Am I missing something here? The post seems like a parody na...why is everyone taking this seriously?

brainpulse: We are at cross road in the history of this nation where the tunnel has no end and the hope of seeing the light is like a candle stick lite under the ocean. What has brought us here? Why are we here? Why are we comfortable in this state of pendulum swinging forth and back without progress. Our leaders preach and teaches us to make sacrifices that has sweated pains, anguish and blood from us while they sit stylishly and comfortably eating the seed, grain and all the harvest meant for children, laborers et al. Some still make excuses for the inadequacies of our government despite not showing remorse at all. Ah! I shed tears for this sinking giant that was once the boost of many like the great titanic. Goodluck!, Goodluck!!, Goodluck!!!. Are you a curse or a blessing? Are you a canker-worm or fertilizer? Are you the rain or drought that has brought tears to every homes?

Light
Transportation
Agriculture
Finance
Road/infrastructure/ ammenities were those we only enjoy when reading them on the pages of foreign magazines. Our children has accepted Nigeria's failure as a normal thing in life. What a pathetic story of a promising child.

I feel you pain. What is going on in this country can squeeze a poem out of a nuclear scientist.

There is no doubt our country is very corrupt but there obviously something wrong with dis "letter". I very much doubt its authenticity. I really hope this year will c A̶̲̥̅ major change in d way tinz r done in this country

i hope you all know this was written as a satire....it's not real....

Febup: Transparency International should keep quiet, under OBJ $15 billion for power alone went missing without a trace.

and some folks ''like'' this comment ? Anyways,how much has been lost so far under jonathan ?

webdezzi: I am not surprised when i heard GEJ is behind Boko Haram.
in a corrupt setting like this, you cant be wrong.

From who-knows-who AKA Youwin to Subsidy removal

..I see ur mouth is oozing dead smells so b quite..omoh

What we are really talkin abt here is nt xposin, agreed GEJ gave some people the task of doin dis findins after the cry of the masses, now dt d result is out, what is the next step? We now knw all the poeple giving us this problems and yet nobody could touch them, not even the president.... Na wao, na real WA!

Febup: Transparency International should keep quiet, under OBJ $15 billion for power alone went missing without a trace.

Maybe u were in a hurry, while readin the article, they never said there is no corruption in nigeria before, they said this time the corruption don break record...

When they steal,they keep in Switzerland.When sick,they go to Germany or Israel.When investing,they go to the states.When buying a castle,they go to London.When shopping,they go to Dubai.When on holidays,they go to Bahamas.When educating their siblings,they choose Europe.When praying,they go to Saudi or Vatican or Jerusallem.But when they die,they all... want to be buried in 9ja.Our dear country is only good for corpses!!!

AjanleKoko: Come off it. This cannot possibly be a true story. Just read the letter. No organization would put out something as unprofessional as this.
Prolly meant to be some sort of joke.

I had that sneaking suspicion as well. I tried Googling the so called 'Fitch associates', but all I came up with is the letter allegedly written by them to GEJ.

Lets see what Abati will have to say about it.

When you see the number of people accepting this as an actual letter from TI, you feel sorry for the logical reasoning capacity of so called anti-GEJ elements. If people can reject fuel subsidy removal despite the logic of the sound economics, i am not surprised that those same people do not even 'know' TI not to talk of what can emanate from them.
Ignorance is bliss. It gets more advertised when some people just want to get off by insulting their president for whatever reason.

Okay. So what is new?
