This is in reply to the lie propagated by a supposed Buhari Media Support Group that was referenced in this Nairaland thread -- https://www.nairaland.com/2912103/nigeria-delisted-corrupt-countries-index

And carried by this daily -- http://leadership.ng/news/497985/nigeria-delisted-corrupt-countries-index-bmsg

The group added that in the latest ranking of corrupt countries in the world over by TI, the name of Nigeria is conspicuously missing.

This is a blatant lie.

The Corruption Index put together by Transparency International is an annual ranking report to gauge the relative severity of corruption in 167 countries around the world.

The latest ranking report is the Transparency International Corruption Index 2015 and can be found here -- http://www.transparency.org/cpi2015#results-table




From the table, it is very clear that Nigeria occupies the 136th position out of 167 countries. A position the nation shares with Comoros and Tajikistan.

Nigeria also occupied the 136th position out of 167 countries in 2014 (http://www.transparency.org/cpi2014/results), showing that there was zero change in position recorded in the latest rankings.

This is very different from the lie fostered by the purported Buhari Media Support Group that Nigeria is missing from the corrupt countries index.

It should be said that the anti-corruption drive by President Buhari has been lauded in many quarters, despite the constructive criticisms. However, it is misleading and unpatriotic for any group to broker lies in the public domain for propaganda or to score cheap political points.


-Lord

Why are these APC pple just lying anyhow... wat is this

Lie, lies, lies... buhari's body odour has transformed nigeria into a saintly state...

They think we're all zombies. They'll soon run out of lies to tell their supporters. 2019 isn't tomorrow.

wow..

Besides, why would it be missing? When I read that I was confused. If it were improving, it would change positions on the list, not just go missing altogether. This is a ranking of ALL countries.

Odd.

APC can lie for Africa

This Buhari can lie!
Only 7 months flying all over the world does not equate to fighting kwarapshun!
Haba!!!!

In fact, by the next 5 years we should expect Naija to GHYUMP to #37!!!!

Lalasticlala, obinoscopy come and see something .

Why the lies I know it was a lie the moment I saw the news because transparency international does not strike out a country name completely rather a country can move up and down the ladder.
Besides I don't need transparency international to tell me when corruption is eliminated in Nigeria.

Ok if u no sabi lie as a Nigerian child nd citizen u need prayer.


Ask ur father to ask ur grand father to ask ur great grand father to ask ur fore father who u b.

Chai, some people can lie

Liar Mohammed students at work
