US says NIgeria is corrupt.....?? We all know that.

Nigeria has been classified as a corrupt country with a poor
governance record, while discrimination against women,
the less privileged, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT) people is common place.
This is coming on the heels of the disclosure by the
Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Mr.
Emeka Ezeh that N95.79 billion was saved through the
implementation of due diligence in public contracting and
procurement in the fourth quarter of last year.
United States Secretary of State, John Kerry made the
corruption allegations on Thursday in his well- advertised
“Country Reports on Human Rights Practices” which he
presented at the Press Briefing Room of the State
Department in Washington.
Kerry warned that the US was not acting out of arrogance
but to plug the pitfalls arising from its experiment at home
and help the human race against making avoidable
mistakes.
“Even as we come together today to issue a report on other
nations, we hold ourselves to a high standard and we
expect accountability here at home too. And we know that
we’re not perfect. We don’t speak with any arrogance
whatsoever, but with a concern for the human condition,”
the Secretary of State said.
This year’s report, he stressed, “is especially timely coming
on the heels of one of the most momentous years in the
struggle for greater rights and freedoms in modern history.”

In my own opinion, this shouldn't come as a shock to any Nigerian out there. Putting the records straight, Nigeria is corrupt especially in governance.
