Nigeria is still perceived as a country deep in corruption without clear policies to address the menace, Transparency International said on Tuesday.The anti-corruption campaigner released its 2018 Corruptions Perceptions Index (CPI) Tuesday, finding Nigeria has “neither improved nor progressed in the perception of corruption in the public administration in 2018.”
The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Transparency International Chapter in Nigeria, said in a Tuesday morning statement to PREMIUM TIMES that “Nigeria scored 27 out of 100 points in the 2018 CPI, maintaining the same score as in the 2017 CPI.”
In the country comparison, Nigeria ranks 144 out of 180 countries this year as opposed to 148 out of 180 countries in the 2017 CPI, the group added. Nigeria is thus still perceived as highly corrupt, and although the ranking shows that Nigeria moved up four (4) places, it only means that four other countries have scored worse while Nigeria stagnated.
The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) aggregates data from a number of different sources that provide perceptions by the business community and country experts of the level of corruption in the public sector.
The report may receive another knock from the Nigerian government, which often castigated past reports of the organisation. President Muhammadu Buhari dismissed the 2017 findings of Transparency International, suggesting that the group’s findings were politically-motivated to deface his administration.
The president said his administration has done creditably well in stamping out corruption in the country, especially through its much publicised anti-corruption drive that has seen several politicians associated with the last administration of Goodluck Jonathan arrested.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, however, took a different approach to the 2017 report, which was released in February 2018, saying the government had taken it in good faith and would work to improve on its corruption perception by adopting some of the recommendations.

Transparency International, however, rejected allegations of bias in compiling its report, saying it follows strict aggregation standards which had earned it tremendous credibility amongst countries across the world in its 25 years.

In the case of Nigeria, the composite score consists of sources which include:

1. African Development Bank Perception Survey,
2.Bertelsmann Foundation Transformation Index,

3. Economist Intelligence Unit Country Ratings,

4. PRS International Country Risk Guide,

5. World Bank Corruption Perception Assessment,

6. the World Economic Forum Executive Opinion Survey;

7. World Justice Project Rule of Law Index and

8. Varieties of Democracy Project.

“All are impartial, well-respected, statistically significant and evidence-based sources,” the group said.
Transparency International in its 2017 report identified public procurement fraud as constituting a large chunk of corruption in public service and recommended immediate constitution of public procurement council as one of the ways to address the menace.
Some top administration officials responded by promising to establish the council promptly as recommended by the Public Procurement Act 2007. Over a year on, however, the council has not been constituted, and procurement remained enmeshed in suspected fraud.
In December 2017, shortly before Transparency International published its report, PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Buhari has followed his predecessors in violating the procurement law by failing to constitute the council and allowing non-transparent contracts to pass through.
The presidency, in a statement by Garba Shehu, replied at the time, claiming the committee was being constituted and would kick off within weeks, a claim that turned out false.
Transparency International’s Nigerian arm, CISLAC, strongly believed that eliminating corruption from public service would propel Nigeria’s economic standing amongst the rest of the world.
In its latest statement, CISLAC repeated some of its past antidotes for corruption as follows:
– Strengthening the institutions responsible for maintaining checks and balances over political power, and ensuring their ability to operate without intimidation.
Closing the implementation gap between anti-corruption legislation, practice and enforcement.

– Supporting civil society organisations which enhance political engagement and public oversight over government spending, particularly at the state and local level.

– Supporting a free and independent media, ensuring the safety of journalists and their ability to work without intimidation or harassment.

I don't support any party but I support this government. This particular one.

AnyoneButAtiku:
Have you seen the motley crew of outlaws and fugitives who populate the hierarchy of the PDP?
Nigerians would not have learnt anything from successive years of arrested development, if they invest hope in that party again.

Say no to #AtikuloooterCONtinua
Say no to #Lootocrats

Footnote: this is no ringing endorsement of the ruling party but a rejection of Atiku and his co-travellers.

SternProphet:
This is not bragging o. Use your brain, reflect on the words. APC will do EVERTHING not to lose the election.
I support them in this. It is war. You cannot do 4 years of anti-corruption and then hand over to Atiku/Saraki. Maybe Peter Obi is partially okay. PDP made big errors. There is NO vacancy. It is not bagging.

President Muhammadu Buhari stormed Oyo State today for his 2019 presidential reelection campaign.

The love the President got in Oyo State is too much and massive.

He was almost mobbed if not for the security measures taken due to what happened in other states where he was mobbed by supporters.

Oyo people lined up for president Buhari and showed him much love.

From what is seen in these videos and photos, one may not be wrong to conclude that the President already has won in Oyo State.

Anyway, one shouldn't conclude because Atiku may still do miracle to beat this and may win.

Watch videos HERE and see more graphic pictures.... (Viewers discretion advised)...

ATIKU AND JENNIFER ABUBAKAR: BONNIE AND CLYDE OF CORRUPTION In 2007, the US Senate SenatePermanent Subcommittee on Investigations, chaired by Senator Carl Levin probed Atiku for siphoning millions of dollars to his fourth wife in the US. According to the report, Jennifer Douglas helped her husband bring in over $40 million through offshore corporations. Atiku was then banned by the US President, George Bush, from being issued visa into their country. The report stated that Atiku and his wife violated US laws. In 2008, his wife was also the recipient of a civil complaint by the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission for receiving over $2 million in
bribes from Siemens AG. Atiku’s wife continues to lie about her involvement even though Siemens has already pleaded guilty. She opened more than 30 bank accounts to receive stolen funds from her husband. She now brazenly campaigns for her partner in crime, Atiku in the presidential elections, insulting our intelligence. The marriage of Atiku and Jennifer Abubakar is a shocking tale of financial crimes and money laundering on a massive scale

Khan2013:
According to BBC HAUSA a man in Plateau state named Abdullahi Yadau has divorced his wife Hafsat Susaiman after a misunderstanding about 2019 Election.

Speaking to BBC Mr yadau said he complained to her parents but they failed to find Solution to his worries.
BBC Hausa had contacted her for comment but she couldn't be reached.

But her brother Ibrahim Sulaiman expresses his anger at the decision and vowed she will never go back to Yadau's house in the name of marriage.

It seems 2019 election has divided many peoples who supports different contestants.
