Encomium
Nigerians are still venting over the comments by the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, that Nigeria alongside Afghanistan were fantastically corrupt.
Cameron had in audience with the Queen, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, the Leader of the Commons Chris Grayling and the Commons Speaker, John Bercow said, “We’ve had a very successful cabinet meeting this morning to talk about our anti-corruption summit, we’ve got the Nigerians… actually we’ve got the leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain. Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world.”

Absolutely right of D Cameron to call Afghan & Nigeria 'fantastically corrupt.' Presume he calls Brit MPs & expenses 'stupidly corrupt."
