Nigerians reject Transparency International’s corruption rating, say country deserves worse

Published:

On PREMIUM TIMES social media platforms, we asked Nigerians what they though about Transparency International’s indexing of Nigeria as the 35th most corrupt country in the world.

On the disqus commentary tool on our site, Twitter and Facebook, we asked our readers what they thought of the rating. Nearly all respondents flatly rejected Nigeria’s placement on the log, saying the country is far more corrupt than the “generous rating” it received from TI.

    What do you expect ? The president said he doesn’t give a damn and his agents stole our common wealth . In fact , Jonathan ‘s govt is worse than Abacha’s and obj’s . But one day nemesis will catch them all

    160 million Nigerians, a quarter have at least limited access to the internet via mobs. Most Nigerians are fiercely defensive of Nigeria and yet the ITK brigade and Ghanaians are very vocal and usually the ones obsessively writing crap about Nigeria online. Nigeria is at the very least less corrupt than India how comes India is ranked higher in the transparency index? Only fools deride their country in this day and age when good and bad are determined by the media and international and national interests not hard facts. And NBigerians are no fools, are they?
