NIGERIA IS 35TH MOST CORRUPT IN THE WORLD, SAYS TRANSPARENCY INTL 2012 REPORT Nigeria is the 35th most corrupt country in the world, according to the global corruption watchdog, Transparency International. In its 2012 report released at 6:00 am Wednesday, Nigeria scored 27 out of a maximum of 100 marks to clinch 139th position out of 176 countries. The country was rated 143rd in 2011. Togo, Benin, Mali and Niger faired better than Nigeria. Nigeria stinks in graft. The country is a haven for fraud and corruption. The oil subsidy largesse that has seen millions of dollars stolen. The pension scam and other cesspool of fraud. President Jonathan who is also enmeshed in the Malabu Oil scandal has shown enough committment in fighting the scourge that has made the country backward.
