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.
