Nigeria, Afghanistan ‘Most Corrupt Countries,’ Says Cameron

British Prime Minister David Cameron has been reportedly caught on camera describing Nigeria and Afghanistan as “fantastically corrupt”  during a conversation with the Queen, on the eve of a major corruption conference in London.

The Prime Minister is, this week, hosting delegates from the two countries for the summit, and the incident as he spoke with the Queen at an event to mark her 90th birthday will be a source of acute embarrassment, a British online news medium, Independent said

During the summit, Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to deliver a keynote address entitled: "Why We Must Tackle Corruption Together."

Mr Cameron singled out the two as “possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world”, adding: “We've got the leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain.”

It comes as the latest controversial comment overheard in a conversation involving Mr Cameron and the Queen.

In the aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, the Prime Minister was heard saying the Queen “purred down the line” when he informed her of the result.Footage on ITV News showed Mr Cameron on Tuesday afternoon chatting in a group including the Archbishop of Canterbury and Commons Speaker John Bercow. The incident where Mr Cameron could be overheard was shared on Twitter by ITV News deputy political editor Chris Ship.

A spokesperson for Downing Street declined to comment directly on the conversation, but did point out that the leaders of both Nigeria and Afghanistan have themselves spoken about the scale of their corruption problems.

Afghanistan's Ashraf Ghani and Nigeria's Muhammadu Buhari have written essays for a book accompanying the summit.

Mr Ghani, they said, acknowledges in his piece that Afghanistan is “one of the most corrupt countries on earth” and Mr Buhari that corruption became a “way of life” in his country under “supposedly accountable democratic governments”.THIS DAY

Juliana made this known when she testified in a divorce petition before the court. “I am tired of living in the same house with him because he always bed wets. “When he wakes up in the middle of the night and is feeling cold because of the urine on the bed, he places my cloths on the urine to protect himself from the cold,’’ she said. She also said that her husband was a drunk. “My husband is also a drunk; whenever he drinks, he bed wets even many more times before morning and when I talk to him about it, he starts beating me. “He sometimes chases me and our children out of the house in the middle of the night.’’ She also said: “my husband has left all the financial responsibility of the family to me; he does not even know how much the children are paying as school fees. “Even the house we are living in, I built it with my money. “Whenever he wants to drink and has no money, he would just walk into my shop beat me up, destroy my show glass, take my money and run away.’’
