Jonathan’s Government Is The Most Corrupt Since 1960 – Says New York Times Op-ED by amnestylaw1(m): 6:34pm On Dec 28, 2014
According to the New York Times, since independence from Britain in 1960, the government of President Goodluck Jonathan is the most corrupt ever in Nigeria. In its article published on 16th November titled: "The Nigerian Status Quo," the paper writes that:

Ordinarily, this would be a huge problem for President Goodluck Jonathan and his People’s Democratic Party, which has been continuously in power since the end of military rule in 1999. But things are unlikely to change. To many Nigerians, it sometimes seems as if we merely swapped military dictatorship for a one-party state.

The quote starts from: "The current Nigerian government is widely seen as the most corrupt since independence from Britain in 1960." The "Ordinarily..." part was the second paragraph in the story. Full story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/17/opinion/the-nigerian-status-quo.html?_r=0
