yahaya bello, is a madman though kogi people should know he is there to serve his own interest.

this report is basically based on countries helping thieves to hide their money in their own country. not the kind we have here, we every tom dick and harry steals left, right and centre.

A new study from advocacy group Tax Justice Network reveals that Switzerland is the world’s most-corrupt country, with a “high secrecy score of 76.” It’s followed by the US and the Cayman Islands.
“Switzerland is the grandfather of the world’s tax havens, one of the world’s largest offshore financial centers, and one of the world’s biggest secrecy jurisdictions or tax havens,” said the group’s report ‘Financial Secrecy Index — 2018 Results’.
It explained that “the Swiss will exchange information with rich countries if they have to, but will continue offering citizens of poorer countries the opportunity to evade their taxpaying responsibilities.

“These factors, along with ongoing aggressive pursuit of financial sector whistleblowers (resorting at times to what appear to be non-legal methods) are ongoing reminders of why Switzerland remains the most important secrecy jurisdiction in the world today,” said the report.

The index ranks countries for the assistance their legal systems provide to money-launderers, and to all people who seek to protect corruptly-obtained wealth. The higher the secrecy score, the more corrupt the government is.
In order to create the index, a secrecy score is combined with a figure representing the size of the offshore financial services industry in each country.

According to the report, the United States’ secrecy score (60) is rising, which results in attracting corrupt wealth. In 2013, the US was in the sixth place, and in 2015 it took the third in the rating.

“The continued rise of the US in the 2018 index comes off the back of a significant change in the US share of the global market for offshore financial services. Between 2015 and 2018 the US increased its market share in offshore financial services by 14 percent,” said the report. In total the US accounts for 22.3 percent of the global market in offshore financial services.
“The US provides a wide array of secrecy and tax-free facilities for non-residents, both at a Federal level and at the level of individual states.”

The report added that “Financial secrecy provided by the US has caused untold harm to the ordinary citizens of foreign countries, whose elites have used the United States as a bolt-hole for looted wealth.”
Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, Germany, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, and Guernsey closed out the top-10 most corrupt countries.

The least corrupt nations among the 112 covered in the rating were San Marino, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Montserrat.
The countries with the lowest secrecy score were UK (42) and Slovenia (42), Belgium (44), Sweden (45), Lithuania (47), Italy (49) and Brazil (49).

look at this beautiful place wasting,

why is magu still heading the Efcc, buhari wants to destroy this country beyond redemption before he is sent packing

Firefire:
General Mohomodu Buhary is the originator of HATE SPEECH in Nigeria. 97% vs 5%. He should be banned from making any further public speech and also be arrested ASAP.

not only banned but kept under house arrest

only NIM is credible, anything OBJ should be avoided.

65 million dollars for where, make una easy o, before u mislead freeze again.

a law should be passed to ensure buhari is sent packing, he is a threat to national interest.

people counting this decampees are really trying.

CSTR2:
You must be a stranger in Nigeria or a mischevious fellow.

I am no stranger, neither do I support evil for personal gains.

CSTR2:
Why shouldn't we toe the path of the SW? Are you more Nigerian than them?

Look at how buhari is sending projects up north, and you say we don't need an igbo presidency.

You PEOPLE are not serious at all. You complain that the south is being marginalized and yet you don't want igbos to negotiate for presidency.

How will the marginlization end.? By hoping for a magnanimous northern leader?

Stop this empty bragging and wishful thinking.

oga stop this myopic reasoning, mention the projects up north buhari is sending. people like u would vote Hitler as long as he serves ur personal interest.

nonsense it would be setting a dangerous precedent for buhari to win next elections, as any other wicked and ethnocentric ruler would rule the way he likes believing he can entice some supporters from the south with v.p or presidency positions. the southeast must not tow the path of the s/west who because of V.p position or the belief of getting the presidency, supported a hardcore fascist and tribalist.

with the same constitution and political arrangement even Obama or putin would fail as leaders n Nigeria. restructure the damn country

all these security heads under buhari must be sent to jail and banned from holding public office in the future.

Paperwhite:
Point blank.Bunch of mofos I tell ya.

those guys are funny, what APC is terming hate speech is nothing compared to what they did to get to power.

I have heard that Ahmed buhari speak, a little bit intelligent but no difference between his mindset and that of el rufai. the name is already a disaster

" buhari has given corruption steroids " this reno no go kill person.

buhari deserves no respect, APC sowed hate speech and got to power, the same hate speech they would reap and be driven out of power.

nonsense

implement that report and see northern Nigeria fight to secceed from Nigeria. the north would surely implode because free money would stop, stocking the civil service with quota systemist and waec certificate holders would drastically reduce. there would be rise of insurgency and religious extremism. why because the region has refused to emancipate themselves with education and choose religion over reason.

well said, but instead of them to succeed, Nigeria would rather divide

this is a huge disgrace, that Nigeria would cave in to the demands of a despot called biya is buhari not mad. even south Africa refused to cave in to the demand of the ICC to arrest Al Bashir of Sudan when he was in South Africa.

This govt has disgraced and embarrassed this country, enough is enough.

very good, u guys should kill urselves.

konoplyanka:
You guys just come on social media to to spew bile and silly innuendos.

Tell me when the west has had an agreement with anybody and reneged.

One thing I'm sure of Yoruba is we are progressive and see things rationally. We don't see things from a jaundiced perspective and we are independent in thought- no herd mentality.

We can agree with you and disagree with you when the parameters change and that's the hallmark of a civilized people and we are unapologetic if you guys are too slow to understand the dynamic of civilization.

We showed our resolve when we said no to military regime and our unconditional demand for the thwarted mandate of Abiola. If you guys think anyone could take you serious on anything in Nigeria then show me the battle you have won in Nigeria.

And to those ignoramuses saying the north will never accept restructuring- I say keep your generational inferiority complex to yourselves. Restructuring will be achieved very soon. Nigeria is not restructured due to the lack of political will of our politicians and not your imaginary "powerful north".

who is talking about agreement. independent in thought, no herd mentality, u don't even know urself, I don't have time to right epistles. like I have said even okupe ur tribesman has attested to my point.

I doubt this news, even Dan fodio would not do that.

is it not madness and sinister motives that would make archaic persons move cows all over the country when grasses in sambisa is lying idle.

26000!! who are the persons counting all these people

ogmask:
He should lick Melaye's shoes before you see any sense in his action abi.
I love this CG. This is how senators intimidate their targets to vomit dough. It's all about money and nothing more. The way I see this Ali man, shishi he nor go give them. Bad market for Melaye and his election money gathering committee..

oga there is absolutely no sense in his action, he has made his point walking out of them, no need for blocking them with his convoy. its childish and irrational.

these are the kind of hardened and uncivilized appointments of buhari. no decorum

Efcc when are u going to investigate that of kogi state.

am surprise u guys are talking about regional autonomy or self determination.

one thing I know is that no matter how the north view the east, they would always respect the east. the reasons are obvious, when the east is for you they are for you, when they are against you they are against you, when they stand on an issue they stand firmly no fence sitting and speaking from both sides. that's why any alignment between the north and east, the east gets it easily and gets a fair deal, even Doyin Okukpe attested to this.

no one would take the west serious until they are ready to stand firmly on issues. and not criticising one issue today because it wasn't initiated by them and supporting the same issue they criticised when things don't favour them. just like this issue of self determination u are talking about.
