Transparency Int’l Ranks Nigeria 2nd Most Corrupt Country In West Africa
A global corruption watchdog has released the latest corruption ranking of Nigeria and 180 other countries.
In the last report, Nigeria was rated 2nd most corrupt country in West Africa after Libya.
The agency placed Nigeria 27 out of 100 in TI’s 2018 report but dropped by a point in 2019, making Africa’s most populous country take the 146th position.
TI’s latest report states that Africa’s most populous country like most other countries in Sub-Saharan nations has continued to witness a high rate of corruption which has now worsened due to vote-buying.
Nigeria scored 28 out of 100 in 2016 and 2017 but fell in 2018 to 27 and fell further to 26 in 2019.
In the latest report, Nigeria scored the same as Iran, Honduras, Guatemala, Bangladesh, Mozambique and Angola.
Out of 180 countries surveyed, Nigeria scored better than only 28.
They include – Comoros, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Chad, Iraq, Burundi, Congo, Turkmenistan, Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya, Guinea-Bissau, North Korea, Venezuela, Equatorial Guinea, Sudan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan and Somalia.
The TI survey measures public sector corruption in 180 countries.
The countries with the highest score were New Zealand and Denmark which both scored 87 out of 100.
Others that were highly placed include- Finland (86), Switzerland (85), Singapore (85), Sweden (85), Norway (84), Netherlands (82), Luxembourg (80) and Germany (80).

Nonsense! So Libya is now in west Africa? There is nothing transparent about this organization. Colonialists are worst than these penurious folks and these morons should desist from this ludicrous act. The evil shits perpetrated by colonialists are immeasurable and devilishly awful but yet they still come out with cooked- up numbers to keep us aground.

Nigeria supposed to be #1, you can’t have an impostor as a president and expect not to be tagged as a corrupt country.
