Nigeria has an international reputation for corruption, and one that is based on reality. However, there does seem to be a large element of hypocrisy in the criticism directed at Nigeria and Africa in this regard.
For example, today it has been announced that the criminal investigation into corruption at BAE (British Aerospace) has been dropped. This has happened just as the UK Serious Fraud Squad has began to uncover details of secret Swiss bank accounts.
It appears that in Nigeria there is progress in revealing corruption, and trying to deal with it; in the UK, in contrast, we are moving in the opposite direction, i.e. becoming more secretive.
So who is progressing towards the moral high ground?
