British Prime Minister David Cameron, was caught on camera telling the Queen on Tuesday that leaders of some "fantastically corrupt" countries, including Nigeria and Afghanistan, were due to attend his anti-corruption summit.

The Prime Minister will host an international anti-corruption summit on Thursday aimed at stepping up global action to combat corruption in all walks of life. In a video feed made available to ITV News, Cameron was shown talking with the Queen about the summit.

Cameron approached the Queen and said: "We had a very successful cabinet meeting this morning, talking about our anti-corruption summit. We have got the Nigerians - actually we have got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain."

He then added: "Nigeria and Afghanistan - possibly two of the most corrupt countries in the world."

The Queen did not respond to Cameron's comment but the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said: "But this particular president is actually not corrupt," referring to Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari.
President Buhari and Afghan President Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who are both planning to attend the summit, have acknowledged corruption in their countries and have pledged to clean it up.

Only North Korea and Somalia, jointly ranked 167th, are perceived to be more corrupt. Nigeria is 136th in the index. It was not clear whether Mr Cameron realised he was being filmed at the Buckingham Palace event.

Yes o

Nigerians in UK should disgrace Buhari this time. He is a murderer

Its not the fault of Cameron rather his Rehearsing what PMB Told him earlier that Nigerians are corrupt! And full of Corruption!

Well, Truth be told , he's right in a way but the manner in which the statement was made was wrong. It seemed more like a mockery of Nigeria to me .. President Buhari has got to rebuff that derogative statement and make him tender a public apology before the attendees of the summit.

that's true.but its sad

Kai, very sad but I thoughts India is more corrupt than my country?

Shey e lie ni?

Really a man from a fantastically corrupt country

I d come

The Britico Pm is right.

when you told the world that u are fighting corruption and everyone support you only for you to be picking your political rival which you spend almost the same amount with during campaign as corrupt forgetting your own party members tha also squandered state fund for your campaign.

Cameron can see beyond the already programmed zombies

OK na so the thing happen...??

didn't he know dat GEJ is no longer president

The best predictor of future behavior is past behaviour, Once a corrupt man........
Once a Soldier, always a ...

I no dey watch.

Buhari called Nigerians in the UK and other foreign lands criminals before UK PM. So why are Nigerians and Presidency making noise..
.Nevertheless, is Nigeria not fantastically corrupt? When Buhari''s daughter that never worked has bought about 6 houses in UK between December 2015 and 2016 as reported by UK media?

Yes Nigeria is full of corruption

From the video, it's obvious the archbishop was referring to the Afghan President when he said "this particular president is not corrupt". Buhari's propagandists will not kill us with lies

Transparency International defends Nigeria, says Britain world’s ‘big corruption problem’


Leading anti-corruption group, Transparency International, on Tuesday rose strongly in defence of Nigeria as a country that is making strong effort in the fight against corruption.
The organisation also suggested that a statement by the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was hypocritical.
Cobus de Swardt, T.I.’s Managing Director, in his response to Mr. Cameron’s video, in which the British leader described Nigeria and Afghanistan as “fantastically corrupt”, said the UK was actually the country that is “a big part of the world’s corruption problem.”
“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day.
“But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era.
“This affects the UK as much as other countries: we should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem,” Mr. de Swardt said.
Nigeria currently ranks 136 of 168 countries and territories ranked in T.I.’s Corruption Perception Index for the year 2015.

Na ur papa corrupt. Ur own country good?? u wan discover mongo park. #bighead#

In Queen Elizabeth's voice, "really?"

In as much I hate western leaders because of their sins against Africa till now, he is somehow right but leave it to Nigerian citizens to criticise it's government,MR CAMERON SHOULD NOT FORGET HE WAS MENTIONED IN THE PANAMA REPORT AND NO NIGERIAN CRITICISED him talk more of the government of Nigeria, so he should stick to the Queen's issues.

remember pmb n his propagandists were always in a hurry to label past administrations thieves who stole n looted, but wen it came to Abacha, twas money 'illegally taken'...but they forgot d world is watching...

Wait, why are Nigerians behaving like he said a wrong thing


Or does everyone want to tell me Nigeria ain't fantastically corrupt?



Let's not deceive ourselves... Cameron was right!

IS DAVID CAMERON NOT CORRUPT

Nigerians are funny people.is he not speaking the truth? Most Nigerian's living outside layed a bad example or gave a bad impression about us. He said the truth .

Where is Dora Akunyuli?
She project our image internationally as Good people,Great nation!
Really missed her!

We are not all corrupt.Just because some few folks are does not mean this government should spoil images of innocent ones.

use your brain!
are Nigerian leaders not corrupt?
they have these information more than Nigerians [ourselves}
when they talk please listen and stop eulogizing Goodluck

SweetBoyFriend:
And Buhari goes to the UK every week and worship him.

This is why i love Goodluck Jonathan, when he was fighting Boko haram, the U.S government refused to sell arm and ammunitions to him, he stopped fuccking with the Americans, have you seen Gej with Obama ?? No.


Now, Buhari is romancing the American government that refused to sell arms and ammunitions to Nigeria.

This is why a poor ass country like the UK will insult Almighty Nigeria.

One day, dogs go begin chop grass for this Buhari government

I spent 22 years in Nigeria and now lives in America.
You wanna talk about a corrupt country ?? Come to America or the UK.

It's high time Buhari stops romancing these useless countries, imagine poor UK
