President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, has taken a swipe
on Nigeria, labeling the country and her citizens as corrupt. He made the
remark during his 90th birthday luncheon hosted by the service chiefs and the
public commission.
Mugabe said Zimbabweans are now almost behaving like
Nigerians who have to be corruptly paid for every service.
“Are we now like Nigeria where you have to reach your
pocket to get anything done,” he said. “You see we used to go to Nigeria and
every time we went there we had to carry extra cash in our pockets to corruptly
pay for everything. You get into a plane in Nigeria and you sit there and the
crew keeps dilly dulling without taking off as they wait for you to pay them to
fly the plane,” said the president followed by a huge laugh from the delegates
attending his birthday bash.
The current corruption rankings in the world rank
Zimbabwe’s corruption a lot worse than Nigeria. Nigeria is ranked 163 worst
corrupt country in the world while Zimbabwe is an embarrassing 170 third from
the bottom.
