Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, also dubbed as the “giant” of the continent, is perceived to be the most corrupt among 60 corrupt countries evaluated, according to data from the 2016 Best Countries rankings.
The rankings are a characterization of 60 countries based on a survey of more than 16,000 people from four regions. The US News reports that in the survey, respondents answered how closely they related each of the 60 countries to the term “corrupt.”
Respondents were given no further specifications of the term, so interpretation of the word “corrupt” was left to survey respondents.
Russia, seen as the second-most powerful country in the world, is also seen as the sixth most corrupt.
Meanwhile, Colombia – a country synonymous with illegal drug kingpins like Pablo Escobar – gives Nigeria a run for its money as the second most corrupt country, based on perception.
Below are the 10 countries perceived to be the most corrupt, according to data from the 2016 Best Countries rankings.
Lol… some people were just born to be savages mehn… Imagine, sorry, don’t imagine, it’s real… this lady poured her heart out to her ex, explaining how she messed things up for the both of them and she really would love to make things up… all these she did in a handwritten letter.
Well, in light of the letter being informal and not necessary to the referral, he graded it in the most hilarious way possible and sent it back to her.
He actually gave her 61/100, which is a D- for him.
So if probably you were one of those people who were always punished by watching the NTA News every night when you were young, then this face just might spark a bit of memory… yeah?

An unknown individual allegedly sent a DM to controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo alleging that actress and mother of two, Iyabo Ojo is not only sleeping with her church’s pastor, but also uses “juju” on him.
She also claims the Range Rover she drives was owned by the said pastor before he gave it to her – the journalist alleged this in an Instagram post which interestingly, the actress liked.
See below:
#Nollywood ACTRESS IYABO OJO IS A PROSTITUTE THAT USES JUJU ON PASTORS TO BED HER AND LAVISH HER WITH GIFTS churchmember tells @HNNAfrica
#HNNInvestigates #AccessNollywood Good morning Madam KOO. My name is Ebiye Patience and I’m a dedicated member of Salvation Ministries, Port Harcourt. Our Pastor, David Ibiyiomie is shamelessy frolicking with yoruba prostitute Iyabo Ojo. All these prostitutes in the name of actresses.
We learnt that he has been spending the church’s money on this girl and some other nollywood actresses to the point that Iyabo and Vivian Metchie had a nasty fight on him. After catching her in bed with a boy she picked from the club.
She has used juju on our pastor. The range rover 2008 model she uses now used to be in our pastor garage before he dashed her. The Toyota corolla she claimed she bought her PA last year is one of the cars that her former minister ex boyfriend dumped her after church gave its members for christmas.
This story was almost out last year but she paid off the press with cash and her body. She is a grade one harlot who picks little boys on the street to sleep with. Our pastor is gradually destroying Gods name as he is now a sugar daddy to iyabo ojo.
Even though she paid press, I know madam KOO is one who can’t be bought by money and will do investigation and let the world know the truth. @IyaboOjofespris and @DayoAmusa visits all herbalists everywhere. Our pastor is even building a house for this girl as I speak. They should stop destroying Nollywood. Pls fish out this prostitutes.
Pastor has a hidden house in PH that’s were he houses Iyabo anytime he wants to see her. She is also dating a series of men. Hustling between them all so that she can form big lifestyle with money gotten from them all. There is no herbalist that doesn’t know her. She pretends to be nice but inside, she is a snake. She has a shop off Allen but she sells nothing.
You can send someone there to investigate. You’d meet no one. Its a cover up for her prostitution business. She should definitely be exposed. Every prostitute must be fished out. God bless you ma.
I have reached out to Iyabo Ojo on these allegations. No response yet. #madamhnn?

In January, controversial On Air Personality, Freeze took to his IG page to call out a lady, Kiibati Bankole, the host of Merrybet Celebrity Fans Challenge, for owing him money and ignoring his calls.
The lady has finally broken her silence after he called her out again yesterday. Read what he posted yesterday below:
And she responded as thus:
“Dear Mr. Freeze,
I have tried to steer clear of your endless attempts at cyber bullying and casting aspersions at my image, but your most recent rants have left me no choice but to respond to your allegations.
My friends know that unlike you, I do not engage in attention seeking stunts online or laundering my linen in public.
I am a very private person, with a very small but closely knit circle of friends.
I find your decision to take to social media to spout your allegations highly disappointing, considering your age (I assume you are close to 50 and are considered an ‘egbon’), and that you have both my phone numbers, know where my studio/office is and are in touch with many of our mutual colleagues in the broadcast industry.
Now, you made some allegations that are ridiculous and blatantly false:
The first was that I BEGGED you to ‘help me out’ by participating at my event- Celebrity FC on the 3rd of December.
Now that claim is ridiculous.
First of all, at the event, we had superstars like Olamide, Tuface Idibia, Awilo Longomba, Falz TheBahdGuy, Burna Boy, Peter of P Square, Humblesmith, just to name a few.
The event had over 30 of Nigeria’s most beloved celebrities come together in the name of the beautiful game- football, and no disrespect intended Sir, but you do not match up to any of those guys in name or stature.
I contacted you to ask you to help me invite your friend DJ Exclusive to the event, who we know is a staunch Manchester United fan and loved by many.
While bargaining with you on his appearance fee, you gave me the condition that I must invite you as well. We had no plans to invite you because you did not fit the profile of the calibre of celebrities we invite.
You however insisted and charged me the sum of N900,000 for you and DJ Exclusive to split. I found that odd, but felt I had no choice, since I really wanted Exclusive at the event.
You asked me to send you a text message with the offer for you to show DJ Exclusive which I did.
To spice up the deal, you offered to promote the event for two weeks on your show on Cool FM and asked me to send you a media partnership proposal which I did.
Following our conversation on phone, I presented our discussion to my team, who expressed dissatisfaction and said they did not want you at the show, but Exclusive alone. They said you do not match up to the celebrities coming for the show and said we should instead invite your colleague Dotun who will attract the hip, young urban crowd in Lagos to the event.
I did not know how to tell you this as I did not want to hurt your feelings.
I told them about your offer to promote the event for free, which softened their stance a little, but did not totally convince them.
FYI, all the celebrities that came for the event were given official invitation letters/MOUs either physically or by email and were paid at least 2 or 3 months to the event, except for last minute additions.
You eventually told me that the management of Cool FM denied your request to run the promo of the event on your show, which left my team with no choice but to decide to dis-invite you, as they saw no justification for paying you to attend the event without getting any value from you.
According to them, no one will purchase a ticket to a concert to watch Freeze.
I thought this was harsh, and couldn’t figure out how to break the news to you, so I kept coming up with ways to buy time, hoping you would take the hint by my refusal to pick your calls atimes. But you eventually helped me out when you told my people a week to the show that DJ Exclusive was pulling out.
This came as a bit of relief to us and my team told you not to bother to come anymore as Exclusive was supposed to be your partner at the show.
After my team asked you not to come, you began to harrass and stalk my phone, calling me endlessly, but I couldn’t pick your calls and asked my managers to speak with you. I couldn’t pick your calls because I was the host of the show and had to focus on rehearsing for the event with my co-host Seyi Law. I was losing my voice and my team insisted that I stay off the phone to save my voice and energy.
So, you were told not to come for the show, but imagine my shock when on the day of the event, I came down to the celebrity lounge backstage and saw you.
You came along to the event with an actor we hadn’t invited. You were drinking all kinds of Spirits began harrasing the stage manager to let you go on stage and play.
The stage manager concluded by your harassment that you were just being a passionate football fan and eventually let you go on stage to play with the celebrity friend you brought to the event.
At no point did I ‘contract’ you to be at the show as you have widely claimed, unless the word ‘contract’ has taken on a different meaning.
The second false claim you made was that you tried to call me for a month and I wasn’t picking your calls.
This Sir is a blatant lie (or ‘alternative fact’ as Kellyanne Conway would say), as I travelled out of the country soon after the event and was away in Dubai for the Christmas and New year holidays and my phones were unreachable. My instagram posts in this period confirm this.
I took the break to recuperate after the event and regain my mental and physical strength.
I was away for over 3 weeks, so you couldn’t have been calling me all this while, as you claim.
As soon as I landed after my trip, you began to call my phone. You called me two or three times, and I didn’t pick your calls because I was still settling down, following my trip; but imagine my surprise when two days later you took to instagram to attack me.
You did not send me a single text, email, direct message on Twitter or Instagram or reach out to me via members of my team but instead chose the cowardly way out with your subtle blackmail and cyber bullying.
I understand that there is a recession in Nigeria at the moment and you may have been broke and desperate for some cash, but as a friend, I would have helped you with some cash if you had just done the decent thing by reaching out to me via text or by being patient for me to return your calls, which I would have after I settled down from my trip.
This, as you know, was not my first time dealing with you. I have paid you a lot of cash in the past for different promos on Cool FM. You can recall that I paid you N300,000 regularly sometime in 2015 to promote some kid artists on your show. I can tender my account statements as proof of this.
Your social media antics however, are a declaration of war and put an end to any attempt at friendship with you.
Please Sir, stop your cowardly attempts at cyber bullying me or harrassing my clients Merrybet- the most reputable sports betting firm in Nigeria and address your alleged grievances via the appropriate legal channels.
I don’t want to believe that you cannot afford a lawyer Sir.
Please stop your cowardly attacks and take up whatever issues you believe you have against me in court or with the appropriate authorities and desist from your public attacks.
Thank you.”
A jealous boyfriend lover has admitted to killing his girlfriend, a second year student of International Business.
28-year-old Brian Bagyenda, who is also the son of Uganda’s new director of Internal Security Organisation, Col Frank Bagyenda aka Kaka, has been charged with the murder of his 22-year-old girlfriend, Enid Twijukye, in what is considered to be biggest security bother for Uganda Police, the Judiciary and Uganda’s spy networks.
Dr. Brian who was arraigned in court on Tuesday, Feb 14,2017, confessed that he murdered his girlfriend out of jealousy and rage, after he saw photos she took with another man on a phone he bought for her, by suffocating her to death with the help of his friends 24-year-old Innocent Bainomugisha, and 28-year-old Vincent Rwahwire.
However, the family of the deceased disclosed that the suspect is no longer in custody, and that his father is likely to use his influence to tamper justice.
“We have been told that Police officers are too scared to comment or even handle the matter because it involves their boss (new ISO boss Kaka), and we are getting worried that we may get a doctored postmortem report,” a source told the ugandan.
However, Col. Kaka did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday morning.
Omo nawa oh! Na real wa! This is just amazing though… a whooping 4 sets of twins and 1 big brother, equaling 9 children!
