Transparency International ranks Nigeria 136th most corrupt country in the world

Transparency International has ranked Nigeria the 136th most corrupt country in the world and the 3rd most corrupt country in West Africa after Guinea and Guinea Bissau.

In its 2014 Transparency International Corruption Perception Index released today December 3rd, the group said it ranked 174 countries it surveyed based on how corrupt their public sector is presumed to be. The measurement is based on a scale of 0 to 100 with a score of 0 perceived as "highly corrupt" and 100 "very clean". Nigeria was ranked 136th with an index score of 27.

Linda, pls explain well. The 136th is from the bottom not top. US is ranked no17 and UK 14.. The two most less corrupt is Denmark no 1 followed by New Zealand no 2. Nigeria is at no 136th just above contries like North Korea, Iraq etc

Wer is America? They are meant to be no1...

Too bad our leaders are not moved with things like this. Just when your perceptions of a leader is cleared of corruption, you wake up the next day and hear of money lundering pointing to the person you see as stainless. I look forward to the day I'll proudly say am proud of my country Nigeria without reservations.

What?! How can they steal our rightful place? The one sector we work very hard on & excel at & which our wonderful president has outdone himself & worked tirelessly in promoting & with all his effort we are the 136th?! No way! We won't take this lying down, we will fight for our right, they can't steal our rightful place which should be in the top 5! We totally condemn this fake & inaccurate survey. We humbly request a do over.

Nigeria is indeed a corrupt nation, we don't need Transparency International to tell us that, but it is not a helpless situation, where there is a will, there is a way, it can be curbed with a good government.

Yet we say that GEJ is corrupt, and we have forgotten that Nig. Was ranked 1st in the World during OBJ time and nobody talk anything because if you dare talk EFCC and ICPC will be on your neck. Sentiment.

Demola said...

Seriously? The 1st 11 comments are from dumb and irresponsible young Nigerians. This are the kind of comment that makes the western world see u people as animals. Nigeria is 136 and fools like u say its wrong it shld have bin 1st or 2nd . What is wrong wif this generation. The questions u shld ask is who is sponsoring this ranking n how well is the research buh well, young Nigerians already gave up on the country.. Do u knw America is really really corrupt. The media paints ur country worst and some fools are dancing shoki to it. Ur fooling ur selves and creating an unsafe environment for ur unborn kids .
This generation has lost it, every body is a criminal cos they say crime is inevitable ..

Guess she is more corrupt than the assessment , even though its really devilish to have this huge and industrial scale corruption in Nigeria and the people that double as perpetrators and checkers say we are not. Once the President, supposed custodian of the ethics and ethos said stealing is different from corruption in an attempt to cover those financiers that brought him to power, i knew we re hopeless. Our only major problem is corruption, corruption, corruption.....

Oga there is no need to sugar coat anything and deceive ourselves. Nigeria is a very corrupt, lawless country were people are above the law and impunity is at its peak. I used work with the government until a few months ago and these guys steal money like they are fetching water from a drum. Nigeria is corrupt from top to bottom we don't need any foreign agency to tell us that. At least even if the US is corrupt they have a system that works, how many Nigerian institutions function properly? Educational, health etc have all been destroyed by corruption, so call a spade a spade and stop deceiving yourself. Besides Linda read it wrong we are actually 39th

Gift Lawrence said...

Linda re u kidding? it can't be. Nigeria should be labeled NO 1 with capital leterooo

How I wish plp will read or listen to d news. D ranking was done from down up ward. So number 1 is a country that corruption is not really found. So pls u guys should find ur facts b4 replying. It's not nice to b ignorant.
