I would like to say, in response to the first post of the thread, that yes, Nigeria's corruption problem is FAR worse than China's. It is the number one factor holding Nigeria back from being the economic giant that it should be. Was the 6th largest hydrocarbon producer in the world, no longer because that wealth was looted by a select few families and militants in the delta have chosen not to sit back. Further, while this incredible natural wealth was being exploited by a greedy few, Nigeria remained one of the poorest countries in the world. This is only a small example. I could write 20 pages in a similar vain.There is a reason Nigeria is included in the same ranks as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Corruption has become a part of the fabric of Nigerian life. This has nothing to do with being Africa, black or otherwise, there is no racism at all in my comments. This is exclusive to Nigeria.
