Premiumtimes and the nation newspaper are devils. Nigeria moved up 6 places to 137 not 139 as these mischief-making press are reporting. I have created a thread here: https://www.nairaland.com/1123521/nigeria-moves-up-6-places#13249262 with facts lifted from transparency international website including a full list of countries as they rank. |
GEJ winning the war on corruption? Nigeria moves up 6 places from 147 last year to 137 out of a total of 174 countries ranked. Denmark retained its top spot as the least corrupt country in the world while Somalia stays put at bottom 174th. There are however, 193 nations on earth. Similarly, the Jonathan Presidency this morning feels Nigeria could have moved up many places in the ranking but not for a heavily sponsored campaign on the media aimed at portraying the administration as not being serious in the fight against corruption. It pointed specifically at an alleged 5trillion naira looted during the Jonathan administration planted in the PUNCH newspaper and various other campaigns aimed at influencing a poor rating for Nigeria by the anti-graft organisation. 1 Denmark 2 Finland 3 New Zealand 4 Sweden 5 Singapore 6 Switzerland 7 Australia 7 Norway 9 Canada 9 Netherlands 11 Iceland 12 Luxembourg 13 Germany 14 Hong Kong 15 Barbados 16 Belgium 17 Japan 17 United Kingdom 19 United States 20 Chile 21 Uruguay 22 Bahamas 23 France 24 Saint Lucia 25 Austria 26 Ireland 27 Qatar 28 United Arab Emirates 29 Cyprus 30 Botswana 31 Spain 32 Estonia 33 Bhutan 34 Portugal 35 Puerto Rico 36 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 37 Slovenia 37 Taiwan 39 Cape Verde 39 Israel 41 Dominica 41 Poland 43 Malta 43 Mauritius 45 Korea (South) 46 Brunei 46 Hungary 48 Costa Rica 48 Lithuania 50 Rwanda 51 Georgia 51 Seychelles 53 Bahrain 54 Czech Republic 54 Latvia 54 Malaysia 54 Turkey 58 Cuba 58 Jordan 58 Namibia 61 Oman 62 Croatia 62 Slovakia 64 Ghana 64 Lesotho 66 Kuwait 66 Romania 66 Saudi Arabia 69 Brazil 69 FYR Macedonia 69 South Africa 72 Bosnia and Herzegovina 72 Italy 72 Sao Tome and Principe 75 Bulgaria 75 Liberia 75 Montenegro 75 Tunisia 79 Sri Lanka 80 China 80 Serbia 80 Trinidad and Tobago 83 Burkina Faso 83 El Salvador 83 Jamaica 83 Panama 83 Peru 88 Malawi 88 Morocco 88 Suriname 88 Swaziland 88 Thailand 88 Zambia 94 Benin 94 Colombia 94 Djibouti 94 Greece 94 India 94 Moldova 94 Mongolia 94 Senegal 102 Argentina 102 Gabon 102 Tanzania 105 Algeria 105 Armenia 105 Bolivia 105 Gambia 105 Kosovo 105 Mali 105 Mexico 105 Philippines 113 Albania 113 Ethiopia 113 Guatemala 113 Niger 113 Timor-Leste 118 Dominican Republic 118 Ecuador 118 Egypt 118 Indonesia 118 Madagascar 123 Belarus 123 Mauritania 123 Mozambique 123 Sierra Leone 123 Vietnam 128 Lebanon 128 Togo 130 Côte d´Ivoire 130 Nicaragua 130 Uganda 131 Comoros 132 Guyana 133 Honduras 134 Iran 135 Kazakhstan 136 Russia 137 Azerbaijan 138 Kenya 139 Nepal 140 Nigeria 139 Pakistan 144 Bangladesh 144 Cameroon 144 Central African Republic 144 Congo Republic 144 Syria 144 Ukraine 150 Eritrea 150 Guinea-Bissau 150 Papua New Guinea 150 Paraguay 154 Guinea 154 Kyrgyzstan 156 Yemen 157 Angola 157 Cambodia 157 Tajikistan 160 Democratic Republic of the Congo 160 Laos 160 Libya 163 Equatorial Guinea 163 Zimbabwe 165 Burundi 165 Chad 165 Haiti 165 Venezuela 169 Iraq 170 Turkmenistan 170 Uzbekistan 172 Myanmar 173 Sudan 174 Afghanistan 174 Korea (North) 174 Somalia Source: http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results |
alaoeri: And Gen Buhari 'll claim that Abacha didn't loot mstcheeeew.My brother . . . |
acidtalk: So Jonathan needed other people to cation him to desist attacking Obasanjo. That clearly shows Jonathan lacks an iota of wisdom.Rubbish post. It is basket mouth peeps like you that are fueling this media war and giving impression as if there's disagreement between GEJ and Obj. The so-called disagreement between the duo is a media creation in case you do not know. |
Goddex: Your Lagos that you praise so much is still one of three worst cities to live in on earth.My dear, I wonder . . . |
Naija journalists are dumb. |
This Dada thing is much more common among Yorubas. No offence meant. I've traveled round this country and I know what I'm talking about. |
Honestly, the press has been hijacked by opposition political parties. |
Senegal and Mali embassy including Abati could not confirm the story |
Then, let the subsidy go. |
@trillville The MOU is a joint venture thing with Chineese govt and investors. |
Only in El-Rufai's country will $31b build 41 refineries. By the way, how many did he build while in govt? |
Dreamflyin: Its so disheartening hw we Nigerians regard corruption.Only Ogogoro customers like you will believe this crap from El-Rufai |
El-Rufai is talking theory. Pure garbage. Even a 5yr old will know that this guy is just dishing out lies. |
Why can't our governors learn to spend within their means? Borrow Borrow Borrow Borrow Borrow Borrow Borrow Borrow If all the money wasted on political office holders and monthly kickbacks to Tinubu is saved, they won't need to borrow. |
Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud A genuine ranking may not even place UNILAG in the top 20. What about all the top class Universities in South Africa - Capetown, Pretoria etc? |
Rochas is new and has not done much although prospects are there. I will give it to Peter Obi. He has attracted so much Fed government and private sector investment to Anambra state. Recently, we have had Orient Petroleum, Innoson Motor, Orange Drugs, Sabmiller Brewery etc set up multi-billion naira plants in Anambra state. On Security, I think T. A Orji of Abia state. I don't know the magic he did to calm Abia. But, one thing, whether it's him or GEJ that should take the credit is not clear afterall governors often claim that security is FG's responsibility even as they keep siphoning billions monthly as security vote. |
Any good candidate should win irrespective of the Political Party. |
Maxymilliano: Inasmuch as I agreed with some of the salient points you made, governance should be about continuity and not Who start a project or who completed it. Obasanjo might have committed some errors in his assessment of the chosen location for the power plants but it behoves the subsequent occupants of the office to revisit the initial master plan, make any adjustment if need be. You also need to put into cognizance that critical decisions like the four power plants and its multiplier effects across the landscape cannot be based solely on OBJ's whim. Curiously, how my Yoruba folks are queueing behind Obj and Agagu this time. Constructing and securing (expecially securing) pipelines in Nigeria has proved to be one big headache. So, what is the reason (if not tribal/ethnic) for choosing Papalanto, Olorunsogo, Geregu etc to site powerplants just because according to Agagu, they are some kilometres away from existing gas pipelines. How effective are those pipelines he is talking about in the first place? Is it not more risk-effective siting them in the Niger Delta and very close to the facility that generates the gas? Atleast, the distance for laying pipelines is shortened. Pipeline security too is made alot easier. The risk of vandalism is also greatly reduced. Agagu talked as if the rest of Nigerians are fools. Recently, GEJ forwarded a proposal to Senate for a loan of over a 1 trillion naira to enable govt connect pipelines to those powerplants. Why make the country go through this avoidable expenditure? |
bestower: The beauty of lagos really marvels me alot to be candid either most of the erected buildings belong to private or public has no meaning, the govt of the state declared initially that its turning it to mega city,its development programme is yielding good fruits for us all to see,lets join hands together to make it more than this,yes we can do it.more grease to the govt and the people of lagos state.Not much has been added to what Federal govt did for Lagos Island. 85% of the roads shown here are federal roads - built and maintained by Federal govt apart from the sweeping aspect. Besides, 98% of the pictures shown here are those of the Island – an area already developed long ago by the Federal govt and private sector. So, please show us pictures of the Mainland – an area majorly under the jurisdiction of the Lagos State govt. Show us pictures of Ikeja, Agege, Amuwo Odofin, Iyana Ipaja, Surulere, Okoko, Mile 2, Ketu, Alakuko, Abulegba, Bariga etc |
Two pages but no comments from females. Are nairaland women scared? |
. . . and lagos is still rated the third worst place to live in on earth by UN. Fashola is trying though but the media hype is really helping him. Tinubu did not do much. I get surprised when an F9 governor like him also join others to criticise GEJ. |
971b not enough? Simply remove the god-dam-it subsidy thing. |
Phony nairaland moderators. How many times do you have to bring this on the homepage. |
Goddex: Hope those guys at Punch, The Nation, TV & Radio Continental |
slim fit :Shuuuu . . . your grammar can uproot Aso Rock and plant it in Afghanistan! You are busy running your mouth against people of the South South with this your very poor English. By the way, which part of Nigeria are you from? South West? Go back to school my dear – just my advice. |
Only Premium Times, Punch and The Nation newspaper take delight in circulating things like this. But, like Obama, GEJ is going to win a second term before our very eyes and in a free and fair election. |
Ekiti is in deeeeep shiiiiiiitttt |
geez*:Just as you can now fly into the Lekki International Airport and drive at 180/hr to Badagry on the ten lanes road they promised us. Rubbish talk. Keep licking ACN's bumb bumb. |
Nobody told Premiumtimes anything. This story is one of those concocted lies to diminish the president's sincere chat with Nigerians. Haters on the loose. |
surveyProf: End of media chat!!!GEJ impressed me. Mƴ verdict. |
Lagos mainland is only good for pigs not humans. Dirty and overcrowded environs. No pipe borne water. It's people are hostile and very abusive. Nigeria has negative perception abroad largely as a result of the lifestyle in Lagos Mainland. My pick therefore: Abuja Lagos (Island) Calabar |
