Is Nigeria the most corrupt country in the world?
Just a month ago, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu attempted to allocate public funds to buy luxury items, kicking off new public outrage over the country’s corruption. Before the supplemental budget—meant to fund remaining 2023 expenditures—was approved, $38 million was allocated for a presidential air fleet, sport utility vehicles, and a renovation of the official residences for Tinubu, his wife and top government officials. When the news broke, it rightfully stoked anger among ordinary Nigerians. But it is important to note that, in response to the public’s concerns, lawmakers redirected $6 million Tinubu had put aside for a luxury yacht to the student loan budget line.
So, while corruption certainly exists in Nigeria, according to many, including Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan, only one country contends for the title of ’the most corrupt in the world’.
In this now viral 1996 interview with the US news program ’60 Minutes,’ Farrakhan challenged US hypocrisy in judging Nigeria. He said Nigeria is a young state working to overcome its challenges. Hence, Farrakhan added, it does not need the United States to lecture it on how to run its affairs.
He questioned the United States’ moral authority to impose governance on African nations. He criticised the United States for disregarding its own past atrocities, such as the atomic bombing of two Japanese cities—Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and the genocide against indigenous peoples. He challenged the portrayal of Nigeria as the world’s most corrupt nation and called for an end to hypocritical moralising.
Let us know what you think about Farrakhan’s remarks. Is he right about the U.S being the most corrupt country in the world?
