LA Times Columnist, Joel Brinkley (pictured above) wrote that Nigeria is
the most corrupt country in the world and feels president Goodluck
Jonathan should be impeached. He wrote an
article titled
Nigeria’s Squandered Opportunity on Friday March 22nd. See it below...
Just outside President Goodluck Jonathan’s office sat 17 ambulances,
just in case he or one of his aides fell ill. They were seldom if ever
used.
No actual health-care facility nationwide had as many, and in fact a
few still have none at all. But as soon as a Nigerian newspaper took a
photo of the ambulances and published a story about them, they suddenly
disappeared — probably to an underground garage.
Jonathan is president of Nigeria, which should be among the world’s
most prosperous nations. After all, it produces an estimated 2.4 million
barrels of oil each and every day. With oil now selling at $93.61 a
barrel, that’s $224 million in income daily. And yet many hospitals
can’t afford to buy an ambulance. The reason, in my view: Nigeria is the
most corrupt nation on earth.
