Politics / Re: Re: 8th Most Corrupt Nation-transparency International Refutes Malicious Story by fbiswagger: 11:24pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
Sincere 9gerian: But you too have your own share if blame that is why they can insult you. I hardly comment on NL but this story caught my eye and when you read it you will notice that the fellow took pains to show that a. There are people in Nigeria that are fraudulently saying they are TI and that TI has refuted them. That is not a lie. b. Then he said that TI never listed Nigeria as 8th most corrupt nation. That is not a lie. By the time you start to insult yourself and your friends don't be surprised when others join you I. Insulting yourself. |

Gbawe: Insult me all you want, I will neither get angry or insult you back. All I have been asking for is that you answer the issues raised in the rebuttal which to refresh your memory are as follows; i. The Global Barometer IS NOT a ranking done by Transparency International. It is a survey of how CITIZENS feel about their country and in any case it NEVER rated Nigeria the 8th most corrupt nation in the world. ii. The ONLY ranking that Transparency International does is the annual Corruption Perception Index and TI has not released one for this year thus any headline that says NIGERIA LISTED AS 8th MOST CORRUPT NATION is FALSE. If these are lies then produce evidence to convince us that the Omokri dude has lied. No matter how much you insult the truth it will not become a lie so save your insults for those on whom they are effective and produce evidence to back your claims. 3 Likes |

Gbawe: Gbawe, have I insulted you? I don't think so. So treat me as I have treated you. Apart from insults and using foul language you have not responded to the issues raised by the rebuttal. Omokri in his piece did not say anything other than that TI HAS NOT listed Nigeria as the 8th most corrupt nation and that as a matter of fact they have not released their CPI for 2013. Thus any headline that says Nigeria Listed as 8th Most Corrupt Nation is FALSE. If you agree then we have no controversy. If, however, what you are saying is that SR and PM News relied on the Global Barometer and not the TI official CPI then two issues arise. First, the Barometer DOES NOT LIST NIGERIA AS 8th MOST CORRUPT NATION. Secondly, the Barometer is not a yardstick for measuring corruption. ANYBODY WHO HAD READ SR AND PM NEWS INITIAL REPORT WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TI HAS RATED NIGERIA 8TH MOST CORRUPT NATION WHICH IT HAS NOT. Go through Omokri's piece again and perhaps you may understand his reasoning. 3 Likes |

But Gbawe, rather than insulting why don't you calm down and face the issues which are as follows; i. The Global Barometer IS NOT a ranking done by Transparency International. It is a survey of how CITIZENS feel about their country and in any case it NEVER rated Nigeria the 8th most corrupt nation in the world. ii. The ONLY ranking that Transparency International does is the annual Corruption Perception Index and TI has not released one for this year. This is true. If this is a lie then disprove it with facts. Please don't insult me and others just give us the evidence and close our mouths forever. Has TI released the CPI for 2013? Does it list Nigeria as 8th most corrupt nation? If yes then Omokri is a liar. If no, then he is telling the truth and you are the liar. Simples! iii. Relying on insults in your responses only shows that you have no case and want to turn this intellectual exercise to a fight to divert attention from the fact that you have no basis for your claims. Let your evidence do the talking not your insults. 6 Likes |

The Global Barometer which you claimed as your source did not say Nigeria is the 8th most corrupt nation. The Barometer is not even the yardstick that TI uses to rank corruption. The ranking is done based on the Corruption Perception Index. I would urge all readers to read the so called Barometer and also urge the poster to quote where Nigeria was so ranked. 1 Like |

One cannot ignore the fact that this year’s (2012) Big Brother Edition tagged ‘Big Brother Stargame’ was meant to be the best and most thrilling ever in comparison to previous Big Brother Africa editions.
