The President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, took
several shots at Nigeria as he compared the levels of corruption in two
countries.
The president made this claim at a luncheon hosted for him by the
service chiefs and the public commission, which marked his 90th
birthday.
President Mugabe said Zimbabweans are now copying the style of
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.
Mugabe further noted that based on his previous experience with
Nigeria, it’s better “to carry extra cash in 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.
Well, did Mugabe make any point there? Not really. This was a
simple propaganda.
According to Global corruption perception index 2013, Nigeria
occupies 144th place out of 177 countries, while Zimbabwe is worse,
being on 157th position.
Their own is worst and the man is laughing at us,what do u think EJB readers?
