[Channel 4 News] Nigeria: Corruption in the Delta 2007.10.22

Andrew Thomas reports on the trail of corruption leading from Nigeria to laundered money in London:

"The scale of the problem posed by corruption in Africa is vast. And nowhere more so than in Nigeria. It's a country with enviable natural wealth - which should make it one of the richest countries in the world - but its population lives largely in poverty because that wealth is plundered.

Some of Nigeria's wealth is spent here in Britain - and recently the Government launched a new initiative to crack down on the worldwide assets of corrupt African leaders."

@cocoaton the Europeans are not closer to God either , i leave in Europe and i see ,so basicaly the only dfifrence here is their leaders do their curuption wisely , like stealing and still eaving some money to be able to provide good leaving conditions for their country people

[jeeman247365]

@cocoaton simple as abc they can get away with what they steal easily when its kept abroad ,like u saw thesame Nigerian Government covers up the evidence the british needs to prosecute them

[jeeman247365]

@extrabigman answer-- because we are independent now , and have our own leaders anddd this leaders still continued the exploitations , did  you ever read the book Animal Farm ? that will be the perfect answer for you

[jeeman247365]

@begeuk even God needs you to help ur self right? u just watched the video right? watch again it says thesame Nigerian government withholds the incriminating evidence that needs to be used to prosecute this currupt leaders

[jeeman247365]

@cocoaton u are right,different application like not extra extra stupid greedy leaders atlist the british leaders leave some money for good basic amenities security and light in thier country, but we? empty Treasury

[cocoaton]

@biafranbornnigger lets not blame it on britain. Nigerian would not be doing that if they were not able to be bought and sold. They have no integrity or morals. They have no strength. The white man is just taking advantage of them because they know Nigerian politicians are weak and greedy. They sell themselves really cheap. Now look at who is talking about them. Britain. Its all propaganda. white countries are just as corrupt. They just have a different application. Thats reality
